It\\'s kind of like trying to light a cigarette with a blowtorch,\" Gonzalez told his audience, adding that Monsterdrol is \"stronger than the illegal stuff.\"<\/strong><\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>During Gonzalez\\'s conference call, one of the moderators instructed prospective buyers to take milk thistle with Monsterdrol. It was good advice. Milk thistle is believed to protect the liver from some of the harmful side effects of anabolic steroids. But in the supplement industry, not all milk thistle is created equal. In 2007 Bill Obermeyer, a former FDA scientist, analyzed a dozen milk thistle products as vice president for research at ConsumerLab.com, an independent company that tests nutritional products. Half of the products contained significantly less of the liver-protecting complex silymarin than the labels claimed, and one was contaminated with lead\u2014bad news if you\\'re counting on the stuff to protect your liver from, say, Monsterdrol.<\/p>\n<p><!-- thumb --> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.elitefitness.com\/images\/specials\/sports-illustrated-cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"390\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"10\" \/>Here\\'s a link to the full article:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com\/vault\/article\/magazine\/MAG1155395\/1\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">SUPPLEMENTS Would-be experts and untested products feed a $20 billion obsession with better performance across all levels of sports - 05.18.09 - SI Vault Page 1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The mention of EF is on this page:<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com\/vault\/article\/magazine\/MAG1155395\/5\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">SUPPLEMENTS Would-be experts and untested products feed a $20 billion obsession with better performance across all levels of sports - 05.18.09 - SI Vault Page 5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I sent a letter to the editor and posted it here on the EliteFitness.com Forums at the link: <a href=\"\/\/www.elitefitness.com\/forum\/anabolic-steroids\/sports-illustrated-mentions-elitefitness-com-forums-supplement-industry-article-651053.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sports Illustrated mentions EliteFitness.com Forums in Supplement Industry Article <\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"style1\">From the desk of George Spellwin<br \/>\nEliteFitness.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Letter to the Editor<br \/>\nRegarding Article: \u201cWhat You Don\\'t Know Might Kill You\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We at EliteFitness.com, who\u2019s anabolic steroid discussion forums are mentioned in your May 18th article, \u201cWhat You Don\\'t Know Might Kill You,\u201d have advocated for a solution to the problems of the nutritional supplement wild west since we went online in 1996. EliteFitness.com believes that anabolic steroids and diet drugs should be decriminalized. This is different from outright legalization. If anabolic steroids and diet drugs were decriminalized, then adults could legally use these substances with a doctor\u2019s supervision for cosmetic purposes. As things stand now, using these drugs for cosmetic purposes is a criminal offense.<\/p>\n<p>EliteFitness.com envisions the cosmetic use of anabolic steroids under a physician\u2019s supervision in much the same way that doctors now supervise legal cosmetic procedures such as botox, breast implants, and liposuction. This would go a long way towards ending the anabolic steroid black-market, taming the wild west that is the supplement industry, and in turn, keeping these substances out of the hands of kids.<\/p>\n<p>Let the NFL, NBA, and IOC etc. regulate themselves as they see fit. But realize that people are going to always seek ways to look better. Changing the laws so that adults could safely use these drugs under a doctor\u2019s supervision to improve their appearance would go a long way towards addressing the problem of the reckless use of supplements, diet drugs and steroids. Yes, there are still dangers associated with the cosmetic use of steroids and diet drugs \u2013 even with a doctor\u2019s supervision. But the risks are far less than what we already allow with many of today\u2019s legal cosmetic procedures. A \u201csafe tummy tuck\u201d? Now there\u2019s an oxymoron \u2013 just ask Kanye West.<\/p>\n<p>George Spellwin<br \/>\nFounder of the EliteFitness.com Anabolic Steroid Discussion Forums<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I hope you\\'ll come visit the forums to discuss the EliteFitness.com mention in <em>Sports Illustrated <\/em>and to discuss the supplement industry in general.
