   I like this experiment. I'm pretty certain, that You are right. Why?   
   Because you've done it yourself and out of pure curiosity.   
   If it would help, than why not use it? You shouldn't underestimate the   
   importance of your -well- discovery.   
   Think about all those that feel miserable for various reasons, a bit to   
   short - in what they are or what they got.   
   So 'lenses' would be a fantastic new cure for various kinds of unhappiness.   
      
   Cool!! And don't forget to patent this.   
      
   My latest invention is a 'cure of smoking'.   
   The idea is like homeopathy. The 'disease' is -of course- smoking.   
   The idea is, that you cure it like e.g. a flue. Take a pill and thats it.   
   The 'pill' is made out of half-smoked cigarettes, left in a solvent   
   (wine) for some days. Than this basic stuff (d1) is shaken with water in   
   steps, where the mixture is shaken for three minutes. Than 1/10 of that   
   plus 9/10 of water is shaken again for three minutes. With such a   
   process the 'potency' (how often this is repeated) is increased by one.   
      
   My own 'research' is kind of limited, but possibly some others would try   
   to enhance the recipe.  Certainly worth a try - but I don't want to   
   patent that - should be public domain.   
      
   Possibly something near could work on other addictions. Should be more   
   easy, since nicotine is actually a tough one.
