can we just grind up the birds eye chilli in the back yard or does it have to be pharmacy financed

Honestly, i had wondered that myself.

You could do us, and popular medical science, a great service if you’re willing to conduct the experiment.

Of course, you’d have to try whatever concoction you come up with in a variety of strengths, so as to establish lower and upper parameters of effectiveness.

As my contribution, i suggest that you start with a minimal amount of chili in the mix, and work up from there, rather than starting from the 100% end. I believe that this is more likely to produce more data points before the experiment reaches its termination.
