Hello Please explain

I'm not quite sure what you mean! I agree that people should not think or expect a pill for every ill or think that if they take a pill for some thing eg Diabetes they can then eat what they like.

I agree that giving statins to every one as prevention of heart/stroke problems with out considering diet and life style and the side effects of the tablets is medicalisation.

Every treatment has good and bad effects as it is using a chemical to try and right a body imbalance. The ART of medicine is to get the balance right and every one is an individual and humans dont always DO average!
