The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
The cure for trichomoniasis is easy as long as the patient does not drink alcoholic beverages for 24 hours. Just a single dose of medication is needed to rid the body of the disease.

Excessive alcohol use costs the country approximately $235 billion every year.
