only a very small fraction of the living species in nature
have been described, and of those, only an even smaller
portion has been studied in detail.
For example, California University's Professor Peter
Bryant states that only 1% of the plants in the tropical rain
forests have been studied in terms of their medical proper-
ties. 112 The number of plants and invertebrates that have
been investigated comprehensively in terms of whether they
are effective against disease is very low. 113 Wonderful pro-
teins, molecules and chemical compounds that can liberate
human beings from many diseases would already appear to
exist in living things.
In addition, bacteria, birds, monkeys, rats, cats, dogs,
rabbits, pigs, insects and many other living things are used
in medical research and the testing of new drugs and vac-
cines. For example, the fruit fly drosophila is a laboratory in-
sect widely used in genetic research. The armadillo is one
of the few species of animal that can be used to research
leprosy. 114 The number of animals used annually in scientif-
ic studies in the USA alone is 18 to 22 million. 115
Never forget, it is God Who creates both disease and
cure. The therapies and drugs used in the treatment of dis-
ease are simply means. Similarly, the micro-organisms, ani-
mals and plants used in the production of treatments and
drugs are also just raw materials. It is our Lord, the infinite-
