Much more good stuff there.
Language warning. Had to use bit.ly for the link because there's a curse word in the title. Can you guess what it is?

By the age of one, how many times had modern medicine saved your ass?
What about by the age twenty? How about now?
How many times has nature tried to kill you? Strep, staph, weather, tsunamis, all the vaccine preventable illnesses, tooth decay, allergies that range from life-threatening to “goddamnit, it’s spring and the trees are [reproducing],” and whatever the [darn] Gwyneth Paltrow is getting stung by bees to cure.
And the goddamn flu.
Without modern medicine, how much worse off would your life be?
If you go back to doing all things naturally, a tiny emergency turns into a big one. A long term chronic illness turns into a quick death sentence.
Say you got appendicitis a thousand years ago. Odds were that you would writhe in pain for a day or two, your appendix would have ruptured and your doctors would have given you a battery of herbs (and maybe opium because obviously). All natural treatment to an all natural problem would have left you dead. Naturally.
Much more good stuff there.
