And it takes a damn long time to get the hang of it.
Too soon old, too late smart.
It’s not going to hurt, any road. There are all kinds of garlic capsules, gels, tablets, etc, available in the vitamins aisle at the grocery store. I didn’t say “And your hair will grow back!” - that was just something that happened as well. I told him to take garlic because it will keep you from getting sick during flu season. He didn’t believe me and wouldn’t take it - or any other vitamin - at first. But the thing is, he used to get sick - like, really sick with URI symptoms - a couple of times a year. He saw that even though I was constantly exposed to him, I didn’t get sick. He started taking garlic on a daily basis and he stopped getting sick so much - when he does get something like a cold, it only lasts for a day or two. He’s around gobs of people all day at his job and has a lot of toxic and dust exposures.
His hair growing back was just something else that happened. It’s nice healthy hair where there was only baldness in 2010 when I moved in here. Like I said, he looks like Beethoven now.
Your doctor may tell you not to take garlic because it thins your blood. If you’re on a blood thinning agent it could conceivably cause a problem. However, getting sick with colds and flu on a regular basis is, I think, quite bad for your overall health. Just my non-medical opinion based on available evidence.
A friend’s grandmother in her 80s started taking garlic at his suggestion, however - this may interest you as well - and she also experienced regrowth of her thinning hair. She reported that some of the hair that was growing back was its original color.
If you complain of thinning hair to a medical doctor, he might put you on anabolic steroids - hormones, in other words. These are very powerful drugs. Garlic might make your breath smell kinda rank - most of the capsules they have now have no odor however. It might make you feel pukey if you take more than one capsule a day. But steroids.....

Where does this piece fit in: It has to be patentable?
If it isn’t anybody could make it, even if they stole it from your lab.............
I remember reading, years ago, that new cancer drugs can only be tested on patients, AFTER they have undergone chemo treatments. Don’t know if that is still true.
90% of everything is crap, including this article. Similar to Pareto's 80/20 principle, it's a built-in feature of the Universe and can't be fixed. Starting long before the event of "getting lucky", everything that follows is also a Hail Mary pass. Knowing this, and with God's blessing, the secret of success is to keep trying and never give up.
About the only thing you can not reasonably make is antibiotics and steroids.
Mild pain killers are also hard to make. Never understood why people in those Apocalypse stories are always so delighted by finding opiates. I can whip up some "knock you for a loop" pain killers in no time.
What is hard is coming up with something like ibuprofen that will take care of aches and pains without leaving you looping or tossing your cookies.
Sort of off topic, but I started University majoring in Chemical Engineering.
In one of my labs, it came with a book with lab instructions.
In the book it showed the final chemical formulas for TNT, Cocaine, LSD, and some other chemical compounds.
I found it odd that this was given to creative and intelligent males in their 20’s...
It got you interested.
Now it is all so deadly dull. You never get any sparks or small booms. Everything is "safe".
I have noticed a lack of ability to improvise in young people.
It does not even cross their minds that if you do not have a certain tool that another might get the job done. Not sure if it is schools or video games.
Video game crafting is dependent on you having the exact right stuff to make something. You don't have a camera you can not make a sniper rifle. There is no way to jury rig something that will work or any alternatives. I understand because it is a game and there are limits but it seems to have limited their imagination as well.
I want a new drug.
Because I’ve tried all the others and, well....
