Should I be poppin’ pills?

 
A question that always raises attention to me is if taking medications really beneficial?
I mean we ingest them and hope for some type of treatment to magically happen. My interpretation for this theory would be our minds work to make us feel better about our bodies being alleviated after consuming these tablets. Whereas the brain works as the operator signaling brain wave activity to the central nervous system and telling the nerve fibers to relax the tension in our muscles. I am not a 100% sure about what I’ve stated, but the average person does not really know what they are ingesting. Yes, there are active ingredients shown on a typical box of any prescription or OTC drugs, though does one take the time to research what they do or what their made of? Normally a person would usually go ahead and pick up what they think is best to target their inconvenience, so it can go away.
Another factor that is negative would be “warning labels”. They make me seems a little shaky because I know little about any product and what is even worse it that I have to squint my eyes in order to read the TINY print that appears on the bottom of a box. Personally, what makes it seem funnier is that companies emphasize the “warning label” by highlighting them in red ink in order for a buyer to not misread information before consumption. Maybe I am being too technical, but my opinion is they do it for their benefit in order to not get law suited.
My idea of medications is unethical, since not everyone would argue along the same lines as do I and if whether or not any lab animals were hurt in the making of any drug products.

  1. I totally agree with you Elisa I believe medicine should not be used unless its completly necessary. Medicine is good but used to the excess not good at all, Great topic.
