Islamic Ecstasy, an herbal elixr

Emruz (today) reports that a Basij scientist has invented a new herbal supplement that will not only bring us joy but will also unclog our arteries. There have been several "discoveries" by regime scientists over the last few years, but this really seems promising. The OSC translated article also mentions that there are no side effects to the herbal concoction (though a synthesized version could harm the liver).

Shahin Zavareqi, a basiji (member of the Basij Resistance Force, the popular militia of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) inventor and innovator at the Maragheh Applied Science University, has discovered a botanical drug called Islamic Ecstasy.

This drug has been called Islamic Ecstasy because it brings joy. It has been tested for about three years on 80 volunteer students. Islamic Ecstasy is used to prevent blockage of the arteries.

It is made from the juices of six plants including the amga (as transliterated), the musk willow and the mint plant, and is consumed by drinking. This drug was made botanically for the first time in the world. It cannot be made chemically because it will have side effects for the liver. However, this botanical drug has no side effects.

Look out aspirin, there's a new kid in town.
