               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-
