Supplements and creams.

While a qualified doctor prescribes the meds, Ben carefully researches and manages the over-the-counter supplements and creams; which are better described as off-the-shelf or even sourced-overseas-and-delivered-by-postal-courier. There's now a collection of pills, lotions and powders accumulating on the kitchen shelf. The doc is aware of most of them but doesn't believe in their efficacy. Ben does and is aiming to be 200% better than before.
