          How cells respond to different doses of drugs 

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to see whether cells respond differently when exposed to different doses of the same drug. 

Hypothesis: The drugs will work the best at the highest dosage, but it won't work at the lowest dosage. 

Alternate hypothesis: All of the dosages work equally well. 

Materials:
* Cells
* 48-well plate
* Cell media 
* Recording device 
* Micropipettes
* Micropipette tips (a lot) 
* Serological pipers (a lot) 
* Serological piper pump
* Cell culture hood
* Drug (5 mg) 
* DMSO (5 mL) 
* PBS (5 ml) 
* Stimulus (500 uL) 
* PCR strip (2)

Procedure:
1. Using the cell culture hood, put cells and cell media into a 48-well plate
2. Put the plate into a recording device and start recording
3. Dilute drugs to the correct concentrations with DMSO
4. Put the drugs and the stimulant and the PBS into PCR strips for easier usage later
5. Stop the recording and put drugs into the plate 
6. Wait 30 minutes
7. Put stimulant or PBS into the plate 
8. Resume recording
9. After several days, stop the recording

Results: The cells died :'(

Conclusions: Science is hard

Herbal medicines are fine for minor things, but I wouldn’t use that for serious issues. Dosage is a big part of a medicine’s effectiveness, and a lot of the time, natural products have compounds that are too low in concentration to be reasonably effective. You’d need to extract and purify the compound, and at that point you’re right back to conventional medicine.

And that’s assuming that the herbs do contain the compound that you’re looking for, because unfortunately, people lie on the internet and I generally would not trust what random internet people say about what’s in herbal medicines

On the contrary, IME they significantly slowed down the early game, but they removed the early-mid-game dip right after you unlock fluids and oil processing
