While I have nothing against pharmaceutical companies like the Canadian Online Pharmacy, after all – the medical revolution has helped save millions of lives. I do think there is something very good to be said about taking care of yourself with walking, exercise, eating healthily – and yes, even vitamins. As they say, prevention is the best form of treatment.
That being said, there tend to be two strands of thought on the whole vitamin good or bad for you thing. There are the people who love them, and then some pharmaceutical companies who seem to be against them.
A recent study done that claimed to have evidence against vitamins was interesting for it’s complete lack of a control group, and as I understand in science is known as the least dependable of all the kinds of studies to be done on vitamins. In fact, it seems logical that taking vitamins that your body needs will indeed help your overall health.
And of course, many people blamed big pharma for the media attention such a study received – especially when it is a “study” done without any control groups. I’ve heard that studies like this can be shown to prove anything the researcher wants it to prove – and thus aren’t really trustworthy.
And you know what? Maybe “the people” are right. Maybe “big pharma” is right. But maybe, just maybe – there are people who don’t differentiate between “conventional” and “natural” medicine, and just focus on figuring out what works in each individual case, and not worrying about the label.
Here’s to being optimistic about a future where people are open minded, thoughtful, and honest when it comes to helping save and improve lives.
Cheers,
