Thanks for taking a gander! It is a very curious thread indeed (especially as you go deeper and deeper into its depths). Might I ask what makes you feel it is poisoning?

It is safe doses of well-known supplements (and works for other swaps in their classes -- like apigenin, sulfuraphane, etc).

Curious to hear though the thoughts on the poisoning line.

I definitely didn't mean to imply that I necessarily believe its poisoning. Apparently the neurotic and anti-interventionist in me reared its head when reading the thread.

I didn't recognize any of the supplement names, and so I didn't realize they all had reasonable safety profiles (individually?).

I think my point still stands though. From what I saw, the outcomes were deemed positive as a function of subjective reports of well-being, without controls. It seems plausible the protocol is having any range of effects (from negative to null to positive)— I just didn't see anything other than placebo-uncontrolled anecdata.

This is not to discount their efforts! I am truly interested in the subject.


I think these are very good points! I understand what you're saying better now. :) <3
