God (punishment)
While some diseases have been wiped out by advancing medicine, some still exist today. Back when medicine has relied on religion, spiritual and traditional beliefs, people believed a "higher power" causes the illnesses. They believed that God gave the illnesses as punishment for sins or disobedience. Consequently, the people believed that the treatment for these illnesses are rituals and prayers.

Digital health
Using technology to enable better health care
Health care is changing every year and the overwhelming trend is that digital health and new technologies are driving these changes.
There is no substitute for personal care from a trusted GP or health professional, but we are also hearing the voice of health consumers calling out for smarter solutions that give them choice and control over their care and information.
Digital health will also play an important role in improving referral pathways and more closely integrating health services in order to improve our health system.
Broadly, the term digital health refers to any form of healthcare provision delivered via electronic means. This may include electronic health records, electronic referrals, secure messaging between providers, and telehealth/ telemedicine.
The use of electronic health records may also be referred using the digital health/ eHealth terminology which has recently been branded
After some research I found the important parts mostly bolded
Advantages:
1) Although the technology at first seems like something done for convenience rather than being something of significant utility, the fact is that poorly developed nations like India which have a relatively poor vaccination program are most likely to benefit from such a vaccine.
This is also the reason why many of the projects mentioned here (including Arntzen's early work) have been funded by the WHO.
2) Mucosal immunity : The vaccines which are given parenterally (e.g. Intramuscularly) induce a systemic response but little or no local immune response in the GI tract. This so called "mucosal immunity " is increasingly being considered very important for defense against GI pathogens. ( Remember OPV..)
3) And of course, it's painless and convenient
Disadvantages:
1) The vaccine dose would be inadequate if the patient eats only one banana/potato instead of the recommended two. Furthermore, there might be difficulties in judging the dose itself since the amount of antigen in each fruit cannot be accurately measured.
2) The risk of introducing a new gene into the Plant DNA population is not known. The gene may jump species and propagate into other plants (or wild varieties of the same plants).
This may cause unpredictable results including a decrease in the number or even extinction of a particular plant species due to growth stunting caused by the viral/bacterial gene. (This has been known to occur in research studies, including Arntzen's)
3)"Oral Tolerance": In another concern, scientists need to be sure that vaccines meant to enhance immune responses do not backfire and suppress immunity instead. Research into a phenomenon called oral tolerance has shown that ingesting certain proteins can at times cause the body to shut down its responses to those proteins.
This may cause the body to become more susceptible to a particular disease agent rather than become immunized against it.
Answer:
a) I once saw an advertisement which said that the product was very efficient for hair growth and gives 100 percent guaranteed results in two weeks.
b) I used the product and did not seen any results in hair growth. Hence, I tend to understand that the advertisement said 100 percent guaranteed results just so that people could buy their products. In my evaluation, companies should refrain from making false statements about their products.
Explanation: this should help
I’m pretty sure it’s A I don’t know if it right or not but hope this helped
