A baby born in the west before the 1900’s was expected to live to about age 45. In 2009 life expectancy at birth is about 80 and climbing each year.
What is different is not the fact people in the west eat healthy, in fact there is evidence that suggest people eat more unhealthy stuff than compared to 100 years prior; rather it is medicine.
Medicine saves lives! The most important factor was medical innovation according to the scientific research which I don’t care to quote right now. But you can’t possibly begin to refute the common knowledge.
For my own medical needs I was researching the effects of Vitamin A on the body. As I was researching I read a little paragraph that said the ‘Vitamin A deficiency’ causes blindness.
Approximately 250,000 to 500,000 malnourished children in the developing world go blind each year from a deficiency of vitamin A, approximately half of which die within a year of becoming blind.
Basically an over the counter drug that sells for about 10$ here in the US, can save half a million people from losing their eye sight and possibly save their lives every year.
I write this not because I want to shed light on this specific issue rather because I think medicine save lives.
I know a lot of people around me, friends and family members who rather not take a pill because according to them, ‘pills are dangerous.’
My dear, if it wasn’t for Advil saving me my once a week or so headache, I would be a terrible friend and family member.
Pills are good for you; pills can fix not only headaches but depression. And if you are not familiar with Magic Johnson, well he has been living with HIV for almost 20 years, and most likely will live a full life.
Get with the program & support affordable healthcare for all the poor people in the US that can’t afford health care.

Saying this, i try to find Vitamins that i think i may luck in my nutrition like Vitamin B17 since it is too difficult to get it from our none-organic food, or Omega 3 since i don’t like Fish and so on.
But it is a good article as initiative for the poor
For an excellent source of Omega 3 buy cold milled telba…can’t remember what it’s called in English. Excellent source of Omega 3 that you can sprinkle into any foods you make (i eat it in my cereal.)
ep Almonds for Vitamin B17
And Kok, Telba = flax seeds.
Nols, I love the article.
Nice article, affordable healthcare can never be over stressed.
I for one am against pills for depression since I’ve not seen anyone who started taking those pills come back to their normal state, they turn into walking zombies who won’t harm anyone but can’t function normal.

KOK telba is flaxseed in english
Nightingale & Biskut – that’s right, flax seed!
Also, about pills for depression – with client’s I’ve worked with, sometimes therapy/friends/family/exercise/etc. is not enough for depression – this is especially the case for chemical based depression. I have worked with people that found depression medication to be very helpful without it needing to be a permanent thing. I remember a friend who got on it after years of depression said it was like living with bad vision and suddenly getting a pair of prescription glasses. Suddenly things were visible, clear, and it was easier to figure out how to make life better. Once he had a chance to work on those things he was able to get off the medication. However, it’s really important to get the prescription from a psychiatrist rather than a general practitioner. A psychiatrist has better knowledge about psychotropics and can help someone find a better matching medication/dosage to avoid that zombie like state. Since doctors don’t really know how psychotropics work on the brain (scary – i know) it sometimes takes trial and error to find the best match for your particular body chemistry. In the end, though I’m not big on pills, when working with a suicidal client who is not getting better I always refer them to a psychiatrist. It’s better to be a zombie until things can be worked on than to be dead…
I think your process of analysis is very questionable:
“approximately an eight to a quarter of kids die each from malnutrition + Over the counter Vitamin A pills cost $10 = Medicine saves lives” huh???
The best remedy to malnutrition is adequate nutrition.
Vitamin A pills are nutritional suplements not prescription drugs.
I dont see where Medicine plays a role here. I’m not saying medicine has not contributed to the increase in life expectancy. I’m just saying, this was a confused and inadequate way for making that case.
Vitamins sometimes are prescription drugs when you take serious drugs for treating tuberculosis and meningitis such as “Rifampicin”, “INH”, “Ethambutol”, “Pyrazinamide”. I did take all these for 8 months, back home and my uncle was sending me. Just one pill of Rifampicin costs 3 birr back then and it has to be taken 2 a day for 8 months.
Then, TB (tuberculosis) is the popular cause of many death in Africa!
Great article.
Vitamin A is as important as childhood vaccines. It prevent blindness.
Popping pills for every little pain is not an answer; I believe preventing the source of the pain is important.
Your weekly Migraine headache can be prevented if you know what is causing it. Work on what is triggering it. Triggers are cheese, chocolate, red wine and foods with MSG.
I had migraine headache since I was about 12. I used to “pop pills” Excedrin, Tylenol, Advil etc. Then it was Maxalt. Most of the time they don’t work. Then I stopped and learned how to manage it. I watch what I eat and learn what triggers it.
Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
Lack of coffee.
Too much coffee or too much herbal tea.
Junk food, cheese, foods with MEG, soda.
Stress.
I will never give up coffee. If I do get headache I take aspirin with coffee.
So Nolawi, try to work on your triggers to prevent your headache. Every pill has its own side effect. Once a week Advil is not that bad, but preventing ii is better.
Dont stress RELAX
ha geticho.. if you get to the point of the article instead of the details of which vitamin supplement can be replaced by what…
refute the point.. not the details… medicine can save lives.. is my point.. and pills do more good than harm..
thats all folks…

interesting insight.. I wish tho they stop prescribing for the minor stuff… but then again, is there a ‘minor’ depression?? hmmm..
@ Hiwot:
I agree with you Hiwot. It’s now even worse since pharmaceuticals make commercials for their medication. There are many patients who go asking for the meds without fully understanding what they are asking for. Pair that with a doc who doesn’t do his/her research before agreeing to dish it out and you’ve got a potential problem on your hands.
