If you are sick, it is of the utmost importance to get rid of the cause of your disease. Don’t just fight your symptoms. Roger French in his book “The man who lived in three centuries” described the problem accurately: “Consider a garbage can. If the can is full of garbage, there will be rats and flies around it.

We can shoot the rats with a rifle and spray the flies with poison, but as long as the garbage is there, rats and flies will keep coming. If we tip the rubbish out and clean the can, no rats or flies will keep coming and we will no longer need our shot gun or pesticide to be free of them.”
