just to repeat and clarify some things: Tumeric and turmeric are both correct. Turmeric can refer to the plant itself (usually Curcuma longa (sometimes listed as C. domestica) or most commonly the rhizomes in solid or ground form. The curcuminoid content of turmeric is low, usually anywhere...

I didn't say your decision is wrong. I'm bringing up points I think are valid, some are directed to the points you've brought up, some to the general discussion. Yes, I don't like Bush. That is not the point though, I would still have major problems with any president using his veto power...

They do not have a patent on piperine, just a trademark for the name "bioperine" which is piperine. EDIT (I see that supposedly do have this patent, but I had also heard that it wasn't patented.. so I need to verify) I believe they have some use patents and/or extraction process patents for...

How can you attach a cost to an event or state in time that has never existed? and can't exist at this point in humanity's developement? The world has never been at peace, it never will be. It wasn't before we invaded, it isn't now, and it won't be regardless of the outcome at Iraq. What is...

It is the nature of industry to push their agenda on the government. Almost every large industry has lobbyists, and countless corporations donate to candidates that they feel will support their goals (or easier to payoff.. however you look at it). The stem cell research is not different, so...

Could you clarify this? What do you mean by holding their moral ground? by 'pouring money into ...bill' do you mean in political donations, payoffs, advertising?? I'd be happy to answer... just not sure exactly what you are asking. Perhaps an example for each, as I can see a couple different...

I certainly agree with the lack of fact based debates in politics. Playing on emotions is all that seems to work unfortunately. However, I don't find MJF's actions offensive, as I don't consider not taking one's medicine as "manipulating" them. The medicine only controls some of the...

I would imagine the test you take covers a wide range of hormones so I wouldn't count on clomid and the like not being tested for. Your best bet is to quit any hormonal products for a long time and let your system find some sort of balance. It would be best for you long term, and I imagine...

Not taking his medicine to display the true nature of his disease is nothing but honest. Rush should have just taken some oxy's and stayed out of it. Perhaps it is possible that MJF exaggerated to some degree, so what? He has the disease and anybody that has witnessed it in other people...

Of course I'd recommend our own Vigor product. :-) In my opinion regardless of what brand you buy, the goal is to buy a mix of anti-oxidants. Too much of a single anti-oxidant can actually become pro-oxidant and you don't want that. I'm not familiar with the NOW product, but if its a blend it...

I'm not sure what the ALRI reps would say, but most likely they'd agree the 3 months is too long to stay on JW. Its also too long to stay on most products of that nature. Most supplements need to be cycled. Things like multi's, fish oil, anti-oxidants etc. can be taken daily and don't need...

Many people seem to get a positive effect from tribulus. I haven't heard of any major gains from it alone per se, but if it has a pro-sexual effect that can often improve motivation and performance in the gym as well. The problem with many of the studies on this and other herbal ingredients is...

...or none of them at all. Don't know the ingredient label on this one, but in order for it to have effective doses of what was listed, the total amount would have to be high. If the list was the actual ingredient list, then it is listed in order of greatest quantity. When DHEA is listed...

If you want to read up on a good article about the FOS and inulin I've mentioned, Spook wrote a good piece on it some time ago for M&M magazine (link below). It goes in some of the basics as to why this can actually help body composition etc. FOS Article TSC

FOS (Fructo-oligosaccharides ) or Inulin would be easy enough. You can find caps with FOS pretty easily. The bulk powder inulin is normally very cheap. It has a mildly sweet taste and if anything will enhance the taste of shakes etc. Some of the bulk powder suppliers have carried this in the...
