[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, my grandmother had tuberculosis as a child and had life long impacts from that. The treatments for TB, the rise of vaccines all massively improved pain and life expectancy.[/quote] Right, because tuberculosis and heartburn are very comparable :roll: [/quote] I mean my granddad also had ulcers. The whole "us having cabinets full of medicine means we're sicker" shows a lack of awareness of the very significant and pervasive pain our ancestors endured before modern medicine. Now you could buy like cocaine and opium over the counter in a lot of places, and people drank a lot more alcohol. So there's an extent people were self medicating with the only real sources they had. There's a reason aspirin was considered a miracle drug when it was first synthesized.[/quote]
