This care has proved to be efficient for treating diseases such as HIV and AIDS, malaria and other parasitic conditions, and chronic and lifestyle diseases.
And yet, unlike AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria that require drugs for treatment, many of these chronic diseases can be treated or even reversed if people simply make big enough changes in diet and lifestyle.
In fact, the sporadic transmission of malaria in the sub-tropical regions of the rich countries was vastly easier to control than is its chronic transmission in the heart of the tropics.
