Why did it take so long to discover causes and cures for diseases?

Now this is only my opinion.Because at first, hundreds of years ago, we lacked the knowledge, technology and resources to discover causes and cures. Call it ignorance, but that is not the case in the 21st century. Now it's profitable business and population control. The same goes for wars. Just imagine if no one got sick and died the world would become over populated and we would use up all our basic and natural resources. And in the struggle to survive we would eventually return back to our primal state, kill each other, die of diseases because of the lack of resources and become extinct. That's kind of out there but I stick by it (profit and population control).

Why does it take so long to discover the cause of disease?
You are from the computer generation and you want instant results. But that is not possible with the diseases. So many times the symptoms and signs of diseases are overlapping. I am surprised by the vast development, that has been taking place, in medical field. The scientists from the western world are developing the science at tremendous speed. So you are lucky to live in modern time, where diseases are diagnosed at very early stage.
Were there illnesses in medieval times?
Most of the illnesses we have today were around in the Middle Ages. There were no effective cures for many diseases, so people tended to die rather younger than they do today. The infant mortality rate was high because of sicknesses as well. There were diseases that were rarer then, including many forms of cancer, and this may be because most medieval people did not live long enough to get such diseases, or it may be because people are exposed to toxins today that were not around in those days.
