is an excellent website on hormesis applied to a bunch of common problems (eg. improving eyesight, eliminating back pain, eliminating allergies, curing insomnia, eliminating obesity, stopping procrastination, overcoming addictions, etc.)

(Because I'm feeling kind I won't even make you groan by asking if the studies were double-blind.)
