Then shall physicians continue to resort to drugs, which leave a deadly evil in the system, destroying that life which Christ came to restore? Christ's remedies cleanse the system. But Satan has tempted man to introduce into the system that which weakens the human machinery, clogging and destroying the fine, beautiful arrangements of God. The drugs administered to the sick do not restore, but destroy. Drugs never cure. Instead, they place in the system seeds which bear a very bitter harvest 2SM 288.3

I take a different view. Modern medicine is the gift of God to his children. Take pennicillin. It has saved the lives of millions of people around the world. If you were one of those saved, wouldn't you be thankful to God for your salvation?

I don't think penicillin would be considered pharmakeia; isn't it just naturally occurring bacteria?

God gave us natural medicine. Wouldn't it be unjust if all of the prior generations of God's people were left in the dark without 'modern medicine'?

I do believe there is a place for modern medicine, but pharmaceuticals are not medicine, and certainly do not cure anything. Only the body can cure itself. Everything else can only help create the environment for the body to heal - natural remedies tend to be far superior in providing such an environment.
