And in the case of "That procedure" after 4 weeks of taking 3 to 5
drops each morning nothing changed. Rubaphilos seems to be the only
one publicly claiming to have seen those results but their must be
others who have tested it. It's not that difficult to make as given,
so why have we not heard of similar results from others in recent
times. A bit puzzling.>>

IMO, Paracelsus was using a bit of exagerated imagery to emphasive
the
point that the effects were helpfull in rejuvination.
This makes good sense--if the chemistry of Melissa induces "calming"
by reducing cortisol levels (which rise during stress), then we
experience a host of physiological changes to our benefit: better
immunity, metabolism, enhanced caloric utility, and improved healing/
cellular regeneration, among other things.
So, in a sense, the nails and hair "fall out", because a body
balanced by reduction of stress induced cortisol release, invests
its time in metabloic activities designed to optimize organism
longevity through repair and rejuvination.

To understand this logic a little better, just look up the
vast number of induced side effects that are assocaited with the
modern medical use of cortico-steroid therapies.
