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
