    I just did some research on some supplements that might help with a medical condition my wife suffers from. There is a brand that has a suspiciously high rating on Amazon and has an F score on fake spot. I found some scientific studies about using the plant extract for her condition, but they look at if they have been written by the supplement industry as does the Wikipedia every for the extract. There are verified doctors on YouTube that talk about it, and say that it can help, but to be weary of supplements and the claims companies make. It’s still possible that they will help, but there’s no way to know until she tries it. Unfortunately, the most trustworthy source is the one with a bunch of reviews that people probably got a discount or free product to write. There’s a bunch of other brands, but those look even sketchier. I also found a few sellers on eBay who will send the powdered extract from India labeled from a company with a website that doesn’t load. Lastly, I could obtain a few of the plants and dry the leaves myself. I’m not sure exactly how many leaves I would need for one dose though.

    So yeah, I did my own research, suck my dick if you have a problem with it.

      It sounds like you did a lot of research and aren’t claiming to have found something new that every expert has missed.

      I’m not sure why you’re directing either the comment or the anger to me though.

      I mean calling that research is a bit of an exaggeration, right? Or else anyone using search engines for anything would be doing „research“. People trying to make their everyday activities sound like the most advanced work ever is as hilarious as it is sad.
