Malathion

I use it for headaches. I mix it with some Percocet to thicken. Works perfect.

I bet that tastes weird.

Malathion

Acetylsalicylic acid is an essential oil, so each time I have a headache

Nice. So $1,000 per ml with DoTerra or $.20 per ml for a bottle of WD40?

Was it for religious reasons? What's the reasoning behind their lack of support?

RSL
