ISSUE: 212"If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable."
ARGUMENT: 167A folk remedy* for insomnia, the scent in lavender flowers, has now been proved effective. In a recent study, 30 volunteers with chronic insomnia slept each night for three weeks on lavender-scented pillows in a controlled room where their sleep was monitored. During the first week, volunteers continued to take their usual sleeping medication. They slept soundly but wakened feeling tired. During the second week, the volunteers discontinued their medication. As a result, they slept less soundly than the previous week and felt even more tired. During the third week, the volunteers slept longer and more soundly than in the previous two weeks. This shows that over a short period of time lavender cures insomnia.
*A folk remedy is usually a plant-based form of treatment common to traditional forms of medicine, ones that developed before the advent of modern medical services and technology.

187.The following appeared as part of an article in a health magazine.
"A new discovery warrants a drastic change in the diets of people living
in the United States. Two scientists have recently suggested that omega -3
fatty acids (found in some fish and fish oils) play a key role in mental
health. Our ancestors, who ate less saturated fat and more polyunsaturated
fat, including omega -3 fatty acids, were much less likely to suffer from
depression than we are today. Moreover, modern societies-such as those in
Japan and Taiwan-that consume large quantities of fish report depression
rates lower than that in the United States. Given this link between omega
-3 fatty acids and depression, it is important for all people in the
United States to increase their consumption of fish in order to prevent
depression."
