You beat me to it. That has been on my mind for last several days.
Aspirin works, but it is not known how. Which brings me to my theory that
everything is not known "how" but just is. I am referring to my ever
conscious effect of medical stimulants transferring harm to innocent people
known to the user of anti-depressants, marijuana, etc. in the form of
crohns. and the harm goes wherever the victim goes, as the stimulant
follows the mind. How? another unknown process, but just as certain as
aspirin works, so do the anti-depressants work also, albeit not in the "good
for aspirin does" A mystery of long standing for both medications. Any
ideas, besides that the mode of transporting the stimulants is not akin to
how aspirin works. But there are mysteries in both meds.
