        That’s a really interesting and difficult question to answer. The short answer is that we are not perfect and our bodies are very complicated things. Even small changes can sometimes throw our bodies completely away from normal working order. Things such as bacteria and viruses are very tough and our bodies can’t always fight them off.

        Luckily, we are understanding more about disease every day, and can work towards preventing and curing them.
