Recent medical advancement has called for a revamping of medications, that has been in vogue for nearly a quarter of a century.
Common cold, which was ignored as part of life earlier, gets the strongest treatment, at present.
If a baby sneezes, the mother dashes to the physician.
The doctor, in turn , prescribes, a syrup, a concotion of an antibiotic,belonging to the family of pencillin and sulpha.
The baby's immuniology gets affected, as the drug works on the nascent system.
A fever, which gets a grade, above the common cold, is pampered as the most exotic disease.Temperature in a body varies according to the weather and mostly in proportion to the constitution. It also expresses the immunity of the body.
Now a contrivance of fever, takes a honourable post. There is much fuss, much cry and much distress. The patient presumes that death is nearing. His kith and kin become jittery. There is a mad rush to the doctor, who scribbles a page full of medicines, one to control the temperature, one to clear the inection, one to cater to the body pain, and the final one to keep up the well being.The practioner also recommends invasive tests on blood sample, urine sample, in respect to. various infections.The patient pays the doctor a large fee, shells out a larger amount to medicine, largest flow goes to the lab.
Thus Fever gets anointed.
An indigestion, which occurs to everyone, at intervals ,as modern emoluments force one to take food in joints outside home, is posted in the highest pinnacle. The patient is hospitalised. He is put on drips for fear of dehydration. The hospital bill is enormous.
All these snobbery leads to the total weakenig of the system. The after effects are devastating. The resistance of the body suffers. There is an out beat of aflictions unheard off.The rigorous and continuous usage of medicines implicate a serpendous harm to the body.
Ater all the body is made of flesh and blood.
Excess medicatioon can be termed as an ignorant abuse of the body.
The ban on medicines prescribed to common ailments is to be welcomed whole heartedly.
