As per the researches most of our common chronic diseases originate at the Gut. Diabetes and Thyroid are few of the diseases that has touched most of the families. Instead of treating only the affected part, can't we not address the root cause.
We are given to understand that the above diseases are caused mostly due to a Condition called 'Leaky Gut' where the gut lining is damaged and harmful substances directly enter the blood stream damaging our own organs.
There are numerous studies conducted that shows high number Gut microbiomes in bloodstream of RA and Type 1 diabetes patients. Hence Proving that the gut lining is indeed compromised.
With this evidences in hand is it not an ideal solution to stop the diseases at the root level @the Gut.
In Earlier days of our grandparents they would be given a concoction to clear out toxins in the gut every week. Hence they are doing much better in health as compared to this generation.
We have completely forgotten this well researched age old ritual of our ancestors citing lack of time and being advanced.
I (with little understanding of the exact anatomy but wide understanding of the difficulties of the diseases) have these 2 suggestions for you all Scientists
1. Why can't we come up with something that strengthens the gut liners and removes the toxins on a weekly/daily basis without having any side-effects. Just pop a pill and be rest assured that your body is going to see a better tomorrow.
Below is the article showing direct link to gut and auto immune diseases.

2. Devise a machine that analyzes the deficiencies in your body on a day to day basis. These deficiences can be corrected immediately either by diet or by medical intervention rather than wait until it completely eats up our organs.
Ex. It can show vitamin deficiency, iron deficiency...which can be corrected either by diet or lifestyle changes. It can show cholesterol levels...thus avoiding heart attacks...
Most/All of us are unaware of what our body needs or lacks with respect to nutrition. We are all consuming things that satiates our senses without worrying about what happens once they are down in our stomach.
If these devices can be used in common man's house then most of our diseases can be arrested at the bud level as people will get educated instantly on their health choices and how it's impact on the body.
If people can use technology to modify the genetics of a plant to their profit, can't we not use it to counter its illeffects.
