The New Frontier of Life

by John Anthony M. Pingol

A world full of life emerges from the bosom of the earth. The flora and fauna of our planet gives life. They are the progenitors of the ever changing mechanism of adaptation. and to adapt is to survive our planet. And in order to survive, the least of the factors are of the greatest impact to life.

since we are composed of matter, we are molecular and atomically alike to each and every thing that lives and gives life. We eat, breathe, drink and excrete just as plants and animals do. These molecules will give rise to those who will adapt and continue in the conquest for life. These molecules can be seen anywhere and related to different processes of life. We eat because we need energy from carbohydrates and lipids. We grow in the presence of proteins. We change through the action of nucleic acids and create what we are thru enzymes.

These macromolecules will aid the world for a better view of internal and external processes of man. They can be treated as markets of illness or even as a remedy to one. The chemistry of life will show the compatibility of the molecules with each other and it is the duty of a pharmacist to study the compatibilities and rationalize them for the use in fighting for human survival.

The pharmacist will be the one to mediate the treatment of certain diseases with the aid of these molecules. They will be the first line of defense, along with other health care professionals, against the battalion of diseases. They will counter protein invaders with enzymes and antibodies. Repel immunosuppressing agents with vitamins and minerals. They will give power with the aid of carbohydrates and lipids and aid us in growth with the aid of proteins.

With our own legion of Medically allied professionals all will come to an end, a better one. But without the guide and help of the One who created everything, all will be lost and no one will be spared. With the help of unity and prayer, we will give effort to the works of our defenders and stop the siege of these diseases.

But for now, let us continue our never ending search for the ammunition than can and will out best the horrifying agents of diseases. May these researches be directed to the light. and should we find this ammunition, let us not forget all the efforts in it. The pharmacist, for one, because he will guide the human race to the eradication of this unwanted captors of life. They will let loose of the binds of death that slowly pulls us towards it. and when this moment comes, we are prepared to stop the almost never ending fight for survival? Are we ready for change? Are we ready for change? Are we ready for the better? All this will be answered by the future.
