I thought that the video on how medicine can kill people was very interesting. I feel that people put too much faith in modern medicine without ever thinking that changing their diet is the right way to go. Going to a doctor should be the last step that you take if all else fails. These people are more concerned with making money than the health of others. If everyone was healthy they would not make money so they try and give out medicine for every little thing that somebody can have wrong with them, which the side affects lead to even more dangerous things that other drugs need to be taken to cure that.

The video we watched in class was very interesting and made me realize that taking medications can have its consequences. Watching that woman in so much pain made think that I shouldn’t  take any pills at all .Doctors are suppose to make you get well, not get you worst so that they get more money in their pockets. The video change my whole perspective in modern medication. –Yissel Ortega 

The film "Death by Medicine" by Gary Null was crazy.  I always knew that our healthcare system was screwed up but I didn't know exactly how.  This film shed new light on the subject for me.  One of the statements that I heard in this film that caught my attention the most was "It is more profitable to fix things than it is to prevent them."  For example, if we all knew what it took to live a healthy lifestyle and take care of our bodies then there would be no need for all the drugs that are designed to mask the problems that our bodies have when we don't do the things that are required to stay healthy.  The film also noted that the medicine we use should be our lifestyle.  Meaning, the foods we eat and the exercise we partake in should act as the medicine for our bodies.  We would be much healthier and happier if we would consider these facts and knew what we need to do in order to live a healthy life.  The knowledge is what is so sacred and coveted and that is what is being hidden from us by the large drug companies...

I enjoyed the death by medicine documentary. It was interesting to see a completely different view on formal medicine. I was not previously aware of the cases shown in the film. Lauren Tozzi
