Do You think that there are too many all type of pills? Just TOO MANY pills?
Pills for sleeping, pills to get a slim body, pills that will keep You away from smoking, pills that You HAVE TO drink daily just because it has all the vitamins that You need, pills and again MORE of pills...
Too many! Too many? Yes- what do You think of this. Are there too many pills and drugs, or, maybe quite opposite: there can be more made?

Yes and no.
If you think about it, there are hundreds of types of pills out there and that number itself is very overwhelming. However, as far as medications that help cure diseases or illnesses, I do not think we have too many of those, and that there is still room for more.
As far as the other categories of pills, vitamins, weight loss, etc. Yes, I think there are too many of those type. Many conditions "helped" by these pills could be cured or treated with other methods but is made "easier" or more convenient by offering a pill for the problem. In this sense we have become far too pill dependent and should stay away from them.

Yes, there is no treatment found for AIDS and Cancer, and some other horrible diseases...You are right.
But as for other pills and vitamins, and calcium pills: do You support that they exist? Shouldn`t they be prescribed to specific people who have specific problems in getting those things out of the food? Otherwise: even healthy people are using too many pills, I think.

Yes,there are too many!
I'm all for natural remedies even though I'm not a health freak and my lifestyle can hardly be called healthy
Nature has quite a few good solutions right under our noses but we prefer sticking to pills and chemistry.One thing I've noticed is that no painkiller fights headache as good as fresh air,that might not apply to migraines. And I prefer getting my vitamins from fruits and vegetables instead of store-bought vitaming lol
