"Take two in the morning"

It seems to me that the current practice of pharmaceutical treatment of illness is at best a "generalized therapy" that helps provide an environment for physical recuperation.  At worst it is harmful and dangerous.  Unfortunately the application of this pharmaceutical treatment in many cases seems like the following scenario:

Upon noticing that the engine in your car is dangerously low on oil, you begin pouring motor oil all over the engine, while it is running, in hopes that the oil will eventually go where it is needed most.   In some cases this will happen and the engine will continue to run. Most likely, it will be so covered with oil as to be judged 'impractical to drive" by any normal person.  In many cases, the treatment will absolutely fail and the engine will seize with lack of oil.
