Since childhood we’ve been taught that when we get sick it is important to take our medicine. Advances in medicine and science have provided us almost unlimited options when it comes to selecting medications. A simple trip to the local drug store offers solutions to treat the common cold, hay-fever, indigestion, joint pain, headaches, you name it. Throw in pills that are used to help us lose weight or build muscle that are available at nutritional supplement stores and there is no end to the pills and powders we could put in our body every day.
