The overdependence and use of medication in today's society
Article ToolsWhy oh why, do people assume that taking medication for minor problems, is acceptable? People who have a cupboard full if medication should see their GP for their addiction (not medical advice). People who regularly use medication are actually making their bodies dependent on chemicals and therefore increase the chance of becoming ill.
They are not allowing their bodies defend itself, as it is designed to do. Why do you think there is an increase of allergies? People who surround themselves with cleaning products, disinfectants and the like, are also to blame. I don't take antibiotics for minor problems, I try to allow my body to fight, because there maybe a time I might really need them and if I regularly take medication, I would build an immunity to them and it will not work.
