    Well, my instinct is to say that most of not all organs are crucial to your health. I mean, they exist because they do something, right?

    Perhaps not all organs, feel free to keep trimming your toenails.

      Once your toenails hit 1/2 the length of your tibia your body switches to generating the enzyme that repairs your dna for effective immortal life.

    Modern medicine: “this part isn’t just extra lol.”

    This will help form the basis of the thymus denial movement.

    They were big in the 80s. I particularly liked Wynonna’s Big Brown Beaver.

    I mean, it’s always good to have research to back up common sense (common sense isn’t common… or sensical), but seriously? Maybe? It’s where your T cells (IT’S WHY THEY’RE CALLED T CELLS, GODDAMNIT!) develop, of COURSE it’s critical to health.

    This is interesting, as there are strategies for regenerating the thymus.

    My botanist brain was like: it is a decent medicinal plant, but maybe they’re overestimating thyme a bit.
