And it’s very possible that there is an as-yet-undiscovered chemical out there, hiding in a microorganism such as S. hygroscopicus or in a flower such as G. officinalis, that is just waiting to show us another way to help our bodies stay healthier longer. And that’s just the natural chemicals—which are typically many times less effective than the synthetic drugs they inspire. Indeed, the emerging analogs of the molecules I’ve already described are demonstrating tremendous potential in early-stage human clinical trials.
