In Remembrance

First of all, there is more than one effect here. Symptomatic relief for Steve is a short term effect. Protection against further degeneration by quieting the immune system may be the case for Robert.
An additional possibility is endocrine effects on the HPA axis stress response resulting in Steve's sense calm at the podium. Taking a "Multihit" viewpoint, these may be three entirely separate effects acting via independent mechanisms. And one or more may be dose dependent and there is a 50% spread between Steve and Robert. With endocrine affairs a little goes a long way as well. Leaving Ashley out for now and just talking to the DM crew, have either of you tried either lower or larger doses? And have either of you tried taking it at a different time of day? -Rick Quote:
