    It's definitely better to avoid medicine if possible. Like if you have a flu, just rest and drink hot beverages. Your body knows what is doing.

      Depends on a lot of things. If medicine like paracetamol can make you suffer less with little to no downsides, there's no reason to avoid it. But other than that, I'm also in the same camp of letting the body do its work. Definitely things like antibiotics are more trouble than they're worth in most cases.

    yeah well maybe my body could grant me the ability to sleep while it fights the infection, instead of keeping me awake for a week in abject suffering?
