Why Haven't We Cured It Yet?Cancer. HIV. Alzheimer's. Diabetes.In an age of artificial intelligence, gene editing, robotic surgery, and space exploration, one question continues to puzzle millions of people:Why haven't we cured it yet?If humanity can land on the Moon, map the human genome, and create machines that can analyse billions of pieces of information, why do some of our most feared diseases continue to challenge the world's brightest minds?In this fascinating and accessible exploration of modern medicine, Christopher Abrahams takes readers on a journey through the biggest unanswered questions in healthcare and science. Written in plain language for ordinary readers, this book cuts through the jargon and explains what scientists know, what they don't know, and why finding cures is often far more complicated than it appears.Inside, you'll discover:✔ Why cancer is not one disease, but hundreds of different diseases✔ Why HIV can hide inside the body for decades✔ The real difference between Alzheimer's disease and dementia✔ Why diabetes is about far more than sugar✔ How stem cells could revolutionise medicine✔ The surprising role of mitochondria in health and disease✔ How the immune system can both protect and attack us✔ Whether aging itself may be the underlying cause of many diseases✔ The truth behind medical conspiracy theories✔ How artificial intelligence is transforming the search for curesMost importantly, you'll explore one of the most profound questions in modern science:Could seemingly unrelated diseases share common underlying mechanisms?Combining science, medicine, history, and human curiosity, Why Haven't We Cured It Yet? is not a textbook. It is a conversation—a journey into the mysteries of the human body and the ongoing search for answers.Whether you're a patient, caregiver, student, healthcare professional, or simply someone who has ever wondered why medicine still struggles with some of humanity's greatest challenges, this book will leave you with a deeper understanding of both the remarkable progress we've made and the fascinating mysteries that remain.The search continues.
