Medicine and health The people’s good health is much helped from medicine. Also in a small family there are at least twenty types of medicines. I worked out that a normal family with little children spends some hundred of euros in a year for the pharmacy products. In many years I have never listened about a pharmacy closed down because they had not enough customers, in fact pharmacy owners are always rich. In every family there are medicines for headache, stomach ache, flu, intestinal problems and many other physical complaints. I heard that many people have also food supplements in their pharmacy shelves. A famous proverb said that “we are the doctors of ourselves”. For example if I had not eaten so much last evening, I would not have had the stomach ache and I would not have had to take a pill. I have friends that when they drink a coffee their stomach add up for all day. I know other people that if they eat some food with cheese they do not sleep well. They could eat and drink everything, it would be enough than they take a pill later their meal, but those way would do much more bad for their health. Rather than we take some food supplements I believe that it would be better if we understood which kind of food cointains that sustance and increase that food in our diet.
