OK this is definitely a controversial topic. 
Big Pharma as Pharmaceutical Companies have a very powerful effect on our health environment. Without us really knowing, the medical model has been shaped around pharmaceutifcals. So much so that now its considered “normal” to take meds if you have symptoms, and its widely considered “quackery” to use nutrition and natural therapies.
My personal ‘truth’ is that there is room for both – utilising our body’s natural tendencies and needs to stay healthy, with quality food and lifestyle choices, but if there’s an acute need that pharmaceuticals be considered at that point.
