Smoke,
I have a great book called, "They laughed when I sat down". It is about advertising dating back to the 1800's and it has a chapter called, Shake Well Before Using. It covers what they called Patent Medicine. Medicine that wasn't covered by the need for a prescription. You can find medicine in that chapter that cured everything including death, I think. The ads were successful and many people spent much money buying this stuff to make themselves feel better. In fact, next time you are in Wal-Mart, Meijers, Walgreen's, etc., look at the size of the aisle that has vitamins and other items that promise all sorts of healing properties, if you would just buy them and take them regimentally. Many of these items will give some sort of relief or high as aspirin or ibuprofen will. The real problems, I believe that we have, is a very bad diet and seldom do we need a supplement if we simply quit eating all the things that are causing us distress.
That is my take on the matter. I would still like to debate any product you have found, item by item, if you may and claim by claim. You can include any testimonials that you have accumulated as well. It could be fun and who know, I could become a convert.
