Help me Educate my father

[theoak01]

my dad is trying to tell me about some drug that is being used in the states where you can only workout once a week and be in great shape,i tried to calmly explain to him that this is all a gimic and he will lose his money,yet he continues to tell me to fuck off and shut up,how do you get through to such a hard headed person.i am doing this not to be a dick but to save him money which we dont have alot of.

tell him to ask his doctor about it on his next chck up...people tend to take more one board when a respectible health proffesional tells them something...t hey have statistics on it, i think its only 10% though.

also explain to him that instead of a quick fix, he coukld try a more long term exercise reigime (this is less likely to work)

my dads also a stubborn fuck. he freaks out when i buy floax oil, yet he eats twice the saturated fat content i do....he also thinks an exercise bike is enough gym equipments for me .....

btw what drug is it?

im not sure of the name but he says the site is www.superslow.com, he has a bad back and will be going in for surgery in a year or so but i try to explain that even resistance training with machines and doing 30 mins on the treadmill a day will help him more then these pills that he trys

i cant find it on there....but lower back pain sucks. its essentially untreatable by western medicine, so moderate exercise is the only way to go really. i did read somewhere that bad posture and back pain is indirectly a result of poor core abdominal condition. but have him see his doctor about it, as he;s the only one that would know about this drug.

maybe look into acupuncture?

oh its not that his back hurts he fell while working at pepsi while i was very young and has been unable to work for years,this surgery is taking a piece of his hip bone and putting it in his back,he may not do it because of the high risk
