Essential Medical Sense for this Technological Age: Sickness-free through Awareness.

Technology has brought in changes and we need to change some of our working ideas but that is not always happening and this is causing a lot of disequilibrium in health issues. For example, doctors still advise in rural India to boil the feed bottle for babies but the bottles have changed from glass or stainless-steel ones to plastic. This makes boiling dangerous. What becomes obvious is that people have been adopting products and practices by following “tradition” and believing the advertising with a lot of trust in the goodwill of the marketing or/and manufacturing companies, just as they would have or did the local Mom-Pop shops and ventures. Similar looking and named/tasting products that are slow-death-bombs now flood the markets. Good advertising has brain-washed people into accepting them as a better alternatives. Example: Margarine for butter; Carbonated drinks for soda; Hydrogenated oil for butter-oil; soap is replaced by detergent and so on. Additionally the body wants habits and the straight and narrow path of undisturbed equilibrium. The mind needs the opposite to grow and expand. Stresses and strains of life and the information over-load are so disorienting. The reality has changed and most of us are not fully in tune with it. Quite obviously we need to be appraised of it. It is clear that people are not looking for exhaustive treatises. So I have put all my basic knowledge and experience on this subject into this compilation that addresses this need “to know the most pertinent, easily adoptable minimum information” that if understood and put into practice will definitely bring change in the well being and general health status of people.
