On the other hand, you could clear a room with a single hearty fish-belch. Think of the benefits -- for example, when standing in a long line at the bank... *bwaaaaahuhrp* and voila, you'd get to go first. Sort of like having a super power! ;)

Sa wat dee, ka! God, this is mangosteen season too, isn't it? You lucky dog.

Right. You could say you have British Dragon, or Terapia, or suchlike. That's just fine (post a pic!) But posting "www.CrazyCheapRoidStoreIJustMadeUp.com" is not ok. The former examples are labs, the latter is a source.

What about the scarification that can result from permitting joints to stay inflamed? I know that for my minor joint injuries, anti-inflammatories and gentler exercise result in far faster recovery than either continuing to train hard (very bad idea, I agree) or completely taking time off. But...

What happened, exactly? Sometimes people who think they've damaged themselves at the gym really haven't -- frozen shoulder can happen to men as well as women. The answer in that case is *definitely* a corticosteroid shot in the afflicted joint; without that, you'll get terrible buildup of...

NSAIDs have a number of other potentially beneficial effects, too, including a huge reduction in the long-term risk of Alzheimers disease, and potential reductions in the rates of heart disease and other inflammation-mediated conditions. Also, reducing inflammation quickly after injury often...

The OVP theory suggests that AIDs developed from an old method of preparing the polio vaccine, which involved monkey tissues. Even when the theory was first batted about, though, it was never really accepted. The pattern of HIV infection in no manner matched the pattern of those who had been...

The taurine recommended above is for cramps, which may or may not wake you in the middle of the night, make you hobble around like an arthritic crocodile, and/or cause you to curse your deity of choice. If you get them, the cramps can occur in darned strange places, like toes, fingers, hips...

Not photoshopped. Dysfunctional myostatin mutations occur in many animals, including cattle and people. Tests are presently underway with two myostatin inhibitors -- activin type IIB, which is an endogenous inhibitor; and a myostatin antibody called MYO-029. Exciting stuff!

Ya'all want us to report PM offers to a mod, or would that not help at all?

Well, why do certain US presidents preach that, in order to reduce the spread of STDs, unmarried people should just quit boinking? Steps like giving young girls the HPV vaccine or teaching people to use condoms correctly do work, but funding them means admitting that, yeah, twelve-year-olds...

Arrgh! Now I'm drooling into my keyboard! Speaking of nutrients, though -- diet 1 is deficient in vitamins D, E, K, and possibly C and A (depending on how anemic your tomato slices are.) It has 12 grams (!) of sodium and 4 of potassium. It meets or exceeds the RDA in other respects. Diet...

I *am* fat (DNP usually works better in the very lean), and had pretty much the same experience at 300mg/day a couple years ago. Oh, maybe a pound or three lost after two weeks, but the side effects were intolerable, considering the results. I was hot, uncomfortable, sweaty, constantly hungry...

Almost any meal raises your natural insulin levels. Pure protein raises it the least, while combinations of fat and simple carbs elevates it the most. There is an article on the insulin index of foods located here -- insulin index is a little bit different from the glycemic index, which...

Thank you very much for the PMs! Since I'm guessing that someone, somewhere down the line, will have the same concerns I do, I'm going to summarize the conclusions below. 1. Chances of this being BD are almost nil. BD has no 'new series' of products, because they have been out of business...
