This is the argument against pharmaceuticals, and I think it is a strong one: If defeating your body's natural systems via interfering with a single biochemical pathway makes you healthier, then your ancestors would have easily evolved such a thing. Every biochemical pathway has regulators, and natural selection can adjust them. Exogenous substances adjusting these pathways is directly in contradiction to what your body is trying to do (for example, anti-inflammatories defeat your body's natural inflammation; anti-pyretics defeat your body's natural fever; pain relievers defeating our body's natural way of avoiding further tissue damage). And clearly your body is trying to be healthy.

There are exceptions, however; pharmaceutical interventions that don't fall into that category. But businesses want to sell more things to make more money, and so they will expand into drug targets that wise people would best avoid.

the average person is a retard who thinks their body is like a car that needs periodic oil changes and tune ups and that doctors are like mechanics

but cars were DESIGNED to be serviced whereas our bodies were DESIGNED to be left the fuck alone

this is is why i don't speak to people in the bottom 90% of IQ curve - i just tell them to fuck off and die - they are an absolute waste of time
