Most people got vaccinated but many rejected it, mainly because they are afraid of its consequences on their health and immune system. If you are ill, you have to go to the doctor ( the GP ), who asks you about your complaints, symptoms, listens to your lungs and heartbeat, takes your pulse, temperature or blood pressure. Then he or she gives you a prescription which you take to the chemist’s. You buy the necessary medicines, antibiotics, painkiller and take them till you recover. This method is called conventional treatment ( hagyományos kezelés ).

To be healthy you should eat healthy food, such as chicken and fish, vegetables, fruits, cheese, yoghurt, exercise regularly and try to avoid stress. It’s advisable to take vitamins regularly, to sleep at least 7-8 hours a day. We should spend more time in the fresh air.
