I can’t access the full thing until I get to lab tomorrow, but in this trial it looks like curcumin was as effective as fluoxetine.

Consuming 2.5g garlic daily reduces time sick by ~70%. In convenient capsules of aged garlic extract, that’ll cost you around 0.50 USD per day. Both studies linked by Examine are pushing specific supplements. The first study is pretty suspect. The second study is much less suspect, and is pushing Kyolic brand aged garlic extract supplements. All things considered, 2g daily of the Kyolic (or a cheaper knock-off) is likely worth it, though it depends on how valuable your time is and how often you’re sick.

People can definitely get side effects from things like curcumin. They tend not to be as bad as drugs, but the effects tend to be much less too. I see these quasi-drugs as potentially low risk/moderate reward on average, at least for the the best examples like curcumin, fish oil, and I’d argue Vitamin D.

(Looking up `dexamethasone overdose treatment` and `dexamethasone interactions` didn’t suggest anything to me)

Then again, I feel like a medication that lowers cortisol levels would be pretty well-known.

It is? Could you supply some quotes? I thought there was a lot about getting Israelites to stop sacrificing to idols, but that’s hardly the same thing.
