ACL Rehab - Blackbirds are Indestructible

Better Living Through Chemistry, Part 02

Two days into my research project, and it's difficult to tell whether or not anything is actually going on that's peptide-related. Subjectively there does seem to be a feeling of improvement in my right knee, and there's not as much pain in my left knee, but how much of this

Better Living Through Chemistry, Part 01
