Years ago, because of the lack of good medical care, diseases were the most terrible threat to the early
people. Of course, they had no pills, tablets or capsules as we do today. They used to eat herbs or three bark
to cure many diseases. They also knew that food had great effect on their health. Actually the medicines that
we take today are mostly extracted from herbs, tree bark, plants and food. For example, in the 17th century,
the Peruvian Indians ate cinchona bark when they had a fever. They learned this from experience only. Until

help cure other diseases. However, if a child use quinine for a long time, he or she will have rickets.
