I think vit C is the greatest thing after sex specially when it comes
in round orange things (vit C that is!). They both cure and prevent
all.
Take gradually increasing doses of Vit C in increments of half gram
till you get diarrhoea then one step back ("Never try to guess, toast till
it burns then 20 seconds less") (Pete Hein in Grooks, only the Danes
can say things like that!))
The stuff is also pretty amazing in cancer etc. but in humongous
doses of 50 grams and more (IV).
Ginseng is crap.
Zinc is great if you are deficient. Probably need hair analysis for
that.
