My wife has her own issues and takes daily drugs for her conditions.

Grateful that they are available but makes me wonder if their is a cure that could be developed.
Preventing disease and death to me is very important. I don't think that wellness is as simple as finding a pill or treatment to cure something. We all will die. Living longer in a body that allows you to find peace and joy in some things seems like a pretty good deal.
