I am not saying that pills are bad. Rather then, pill are not going to solve the root cause. If your apendix is infected taking painkillers will mask the fact its going to bust and probably kill you. That doesn't mean you shouldn't take painkillers while waiting for a surgeon to operate on you. Maybe I should have been more precise in my original post.
