Self-medicating for Science
November 26th, 2007 01:31 pm( Why half of my face is covered in vitamin E oil, and the left half has benedryl creme. )
Amazingly, the most noticable effect of my expiriment has been to make me mildly gleeful about my misfortune instead of miserable. Why? CAUSE I'M DOIN' REAL SCIENCE! YEAH!
So far, the actual medecine is doing a slightly better job of healing, and much better job of killing the itch, but the right-side is soft and supple and not icky-rash peeling. And it's shiny. I'll tell ya now, when they say that vitamin E oil is absorbed quickly, they are lying through their hemp stained teeth.
I plan on performing further Vit. E tests in future. It's really supposed to help scars and stretchmarks. I have a lot of scars, but they don't match so there's no real control group. I'd have to use photo evidence. Perhaps I'll expirament on the Oh-My-God-I'm-A-Girl puberty stretch marks on my hips. I think right cheek oiled, left one plain, with a weekly comparison, is probably decent research methodology.
If you wish to suggest alternate expirimental substances, do so, but be warned that I plan to do exhaustive testing with THIS $8 bottle of goo before I buy a different $8 bottle of goo.
