Secondly, I wasn't comparing androgens to protein, I was simply pointing out the logical fallacy of the "only natural" arguement.
Out of curiousity what's your graduate degree in, or what are you currently a candidate to earn a graduate degree in?
Kunk, thanks for the testimonial.
What's the educational requirements for an SF soldier? A 65 on the ASVAB and scoring a 0+ on Arabic at DLI? This qualifies someone as having perhaps good common sense, and represents zero science knowledge. If you want some anecdotes, in my previous career (remote land surveyor in Alaska) I worked with a few former Navy SEALs and RECON marines. They were chain smokers and borderline alcoholics. They were also very skinny and could hike endlessly in the woods. They were certainly not meatheads. I would have zero faith in their ability to know WTF they were doing if they did juice. I'm sure the SF guys these days are smart, but they don't have any formal education in physiology, except perhaps the medics.
If you must know, I'm actually attending a DDS program now. Since most are unfamiliar with what this entails, our didactic curriculum is nearly identical to the MDs. Therefore I've taken most the same courses in biochemistry, physiology, endocrinology, embryology, etc. I don't profess to be any sort of scientist, but I've learned enough here to understand that fucking with the endocrine system is asking for trouble. I also believe most people that juice are too stupid to understand WTF they are doing and PCT properly and all that, therefore you won't find me supporting it. Hell, I have the formal education, and I would not feel comfortable with it, that's my point.
Juice away though, I don't really care, just not for me. I'm able to gain all I desire naturally.
