Even though there is continuous progress in medicine industry, some viruses and diseases are still a mystery to some scientists and doctors everywhere. For only 30 years, it’s really amazing that some diseases are now curable like lupus and tuberculosis, and HIV is not considered anymore as a sentence of death. Nevertheless, the world is still needing a long way for all diseases to be taken away. Below are the 8 diseases that don’t have any cure yet.

Coughing, breathlessness, tightness of chess, and wheezing are its symptoms. The stimuli like smoke, exercise, pollution of air, pollen, and weather conditions are sometimes the reasons why airways become hypersensitive. In patients, when breathing, the muscles that surround the airways contract and expand rhythmically. The airways become narrower that prevents the air flow into the lungs.
Cancer

Mild memory loss is noted in early stages of dementia and loss of responding to their surroundings and capability in conversation is also lost during its late stages.
