Diseases are not only taking lives from the present people, and causing a lot of chaos and outbreak in the present day. As far back as 5,000 thousand years ago, or even further, the war between the human and diseases had started. The earliest record of diseases and treatments is from two most ancient and civilized countries. Chinese, using its own way of treatment, such as acupuncture and herbary, fought effortlessly with diseases and drugged many of their own people back from the death line. Egyptians, whose method of mummification can keep dead bodies major organs from decaying, combining their own medicines such as oil and honey, is another victor in the long lasting battle with diseases. Today, even though high technologies and DNA rebuilding methods have surely over passed those of the traditional methods, we, as modern human beings, still need to know the wars between our ancestors and diseases.
