Cull the thousands of prescriptive bits of health promoting advice from popular magazines and folklore; combine them in a pill.
I've been tempted to try a hundred ‘miracle’ treatments for everything from head aches to heart attacks, offered up by everyone and grandad, too. All of it: soup to nuts,
A to Zinc, fine to ugly, and north to south based on claims made by someone ‘miraculously’ returned to health by using a named substance. Just read the list of benefits, glowing testamonials, …
So why not just put a smidgin of all the good stuff into a pill and then relax and wait for the miracle? That way we'll feel nothing but better for a long, long time.
