@jordanhenderson @guyindelco @realchrisrufo The ancient Egyptians and Sumerians were chewing willow bark as a pain-reliever since at least 1934 B.C., when it is mentioned in the Ebers Papyrus; aspirin comes from salicylic acid (a refined form of salicin (>L. salix,, "willow")). https://t.co/bD8XhezTJP

@Havoc_Six I slightly disagree. I would rather they remove the research restrictions so the active compounds that treat those issues could be isolated, synthesized, and prescribed. Sort of like aspirin instead of chewing willow bark. https://t.co/OT5UiEYjZf That is what people really need!
