I remember reading a column by Smokey Yunick called "Say, Smokey-" in Popular Science magazine in the '60s. A reader asked about the effectiveness of STP and similar additives.
To paraphrase, he replied "While it may not win me any points with the STP people, if adding it to your car makes any difference, the engine is in need of serious repair. 'Nuff said."

If my VA doctor says I'm low on D3 and B12, and prescribed both (cost-free for me, of course), do I take them?

Yeah I question that broad statement that most vitamins are just expensive urine. I think most vitamins , not all, are effective to add nutrients that aren’t in your diet.If my VA doctor says I'm low on D3 and B12, and prescribed both (cost-free for me, of course), do I take them?
Well, they certainly add color to urine.

Yes, it sure does. Mine comes out yellow after the handful that I take daily.
Riboflavin is a member of the B family of vitamins (B complex). It's a water-soluble vitamin. Excess amounts are excreted through your kidneys. It makes the urine bright yellow.
Should I stop taking vitamins if my pee is bright yellow?
No, bright yellow urine doesn't mean that you're not absorbing your vitamins. Any vitamin that's mixing with your pee is a water-soluble vitamin, and any amount of it that your body doesn't need simply gets excreted through the urine. That means your body is taking in what it needs. Jan 26, 2023

Jeez, there isn't any discussion on which oil to use is there. Is this a new thing?
Olive oil is traditionally used, but avocado oil boasts much of the same benefits as [extra virgin] olive oil, but has a higher smoking point, making it great for ...
it is discussed many times in history and a lot are tired of the same-O, same-O.... I enjoy the threads but many get way too vocal against them.
