8. Arabinogalactan. I went into Natural Gourmet and told the woman “I don’t want to get sick.” I expected her to to give me Emergen-C or some expensive cocktail of vitamins and zinc. She said this was all I need. Apparently it’s from the bark of the larch tree? The fact that it’s not on wikipedia is…interesting? This type of thing is exactly 100% a religion. BELIEVE! HAVE FAITH!
