[extropy-chat] supplement, was a futurist prediction

[Bret Kulakovich]

Hey - no apologies needed - I was trolling Ideas Futures the other

Supplements. Yikes. I am guessing my multivitamin doesn't count as  
one. I've had success with glucosamine for joint pain, but nothing  
overwhelming. If I had to choose, I would have to go with one glass  
of red wine a day.
