It's a very good point PACE. A good example is heartburn.

Back "in the day," if you had heartburn, you had 3 choices:

take a shed load of "rennies," that lasted 10 minutes or so,

have an operation, that had very high risk of killing you, (and generally didn't work), or

stop drinking 8 pints of "Stella" prior to a Chicken Ticka Jalfreizi.

Nowadays, it's easy to take Omeprazole. )

And I'm not preaching, we all do it. And it works.
