I personally don't like taking pills for too many things. The odd time I'll get a really bad headache and take a tylenol. But normally I don't take anything for it. I think that when you take a pill every single time you get a headache, then your body can't deal with a headache anymore without taking the pill, so you become somewhat dependant on it. I would prefer for my body to be able to deal with sickness myself and fight off infections with my immune system, not by popping a pill every hour.

No pills are never good to take everytime you fall sick. Slowly once your body gets used to those pills, you have to resort to increased dosage to get rid of te same ailment which may prove to be dangerous in the future. It is good that our body functionaing is such that it can function in a natural way.

Pills can help you if you are sick,but if you are not so sick you must try getting better without pills,because they reflect on your system.

It's not healthy but this is what is must be. If You must to take pills You must, then you don't thinking is it this healthy or not. After You do math You'll see that's healthy with pills, not without them. Afterall is this some ridiculous illness , maybe is sometimes beter to don't take pills, but if this some seriously illness then you must take it.

Maybe its not healthy but you have to take them because if you dont how you would be back to your original condition. If you are in your normal condition than only you can be healthy or unhealth but for that you must be in your original condition.

This is an interesting question. There are some illnesses where you need medication. However I have friends that always take antibiotics, for any sniffle, scratchy throat, etc. I have never been able to convince them that antibiotics do not help if you have a virus. One of these friends has thrown off her body so much because of it that she has killed off the helpful bacteria that we have that helps us with digestion and the like. Just a thought, have the doctor decide whether medication is needed.

No, I dont think it is - It depends on what the illness is. If you are prescribed, for example, antibiotics every time then the bugs may become stronger and immune to them. The more serious the illness is the more sensible it is to get medicine from the doctor. Some people think it is good to boost your immune system with natural products - vitamins etc - to help you getting ill in the first place.
