Medical Experiments

Every now and then I'll pick up a snippet of info and start experimenting - on myself.

Like the fact that grey hairs may be caused by a Vit B deficiency. Now proven by me. Taking a supplement made the base of a couple of grey hairs go back to normal colour!

Or the fact that pulling out a hair causes it to grow back thicker and blacker. Also proven by me. Pulled one out in a place where there were no dark ones, just to see, and it's been growing back stronger, larger and blacker every time it's re-pulled. (So don't go waxing anything now that you don't want covered in darker and thicker hair later!)

Last week I picked up that Vit C in extra-large, body-saturating doses can kill viruses. It's even been claimed it could help AIDS patients... Well I tend to come up with lip blisters after too much sun, which is virus-related apparently. As soon as I felt that first warning tenderness I dived into mega-strength Vit C. And without even breaking the skin the blisters are disappearing! Cool.

Still to be proven though (while visiting my teetotalling parents): coffee withdrawal makes me nasty...
