It may not be as easy as taking a pill but a walk around the block is allot cheaper than a $100 bottle of snake oil pills!
Don't forget that the type of box the medication is distributed in has a "dramatic" effect on the pills inside. A handcarved and precisely balanced wooden top on the container will guarantee reduced side effects from the pills inside. A red lacquer dot in the middle of the label will make them treat additional illnesses beyond the manufacturer's intent. Of course, the containers themselves must be broken in to properly contain medications. How about pre-freezing the instruction sheet in liquid nitrogen to enhance credibility of the information written thereon? And naturally, the shape of the mould that forms the pill will strongly affect its therapeutic value. For pain medications, the pills should be formed into a likeness of Mother Teresa or Laura Bush. Viagra will take the form of Adolph Hitler or Hugo Chavez. And don't forget that transporting the pills across the US/Canadian border and back again will totally wipe out their effectiveness and render them toxic.
