The only secrets that have not been revealed by this drug are the ingredients for creating it, and the fate of the religious sect that discovered it.
Kachirigin Filter Leeches
Leeches were used medically for millennia on ancient Earth but were largely superseded by technology. Hundreds of years later, a chance discovery on Kachirigin revealed some very valuable properties of the native creatures. Kachirigin leeches can painlessly filter impurities from the user's blood, so can be used as a cure-all for hangovers and the worst effects of certain addictions. They are prized by the wealthy and hedonistic, and have an almost cult-like following.

The Waters Of Shintara*
The medical qualities of the mineral waters of Shintara are decried by many in the scientific community as nonsense.

The parasite must be purged before it begins to pupate.
