Supplements are a waste of money. I sent a thank you telegram to the FDA when they arrested Bill Faloon and Saul Kent. There's a multi billion dollar business in the US promoting, selling and hyping substances which at best do no good, at worse, kill people. Take something common like IP6. A couple of inconsequential studies that proved nothing. Repeated thousands of times on the Internet, different fonts, different colors, different background but all the same words over and over again, all over the 'Net. Why? For what purpose? This isn't content farming we're talking about. This is copy and paste "me to" in an attempt to turn a dishonest buck. I've listened to the likes of Bill Faloon (the major henchman in keeping supplements deregulated so far) tell of how he was keeping himself from catching AIDS (that's what it was called in those days) by taking an Israeli formulation called AL-721. Never announced when he abandoned it. By my reckoning Bill Faloon is taking at least a million supplements as he or Life Extension Foundation have never disavowed a single supplement they recommended and, incidentally, peddled. Dirk Pearson and Sally Shaw. The authors of *Life Extension *and the poster children of the supplement movement. I saw pictures of these life extension poster children about a decade ago. I've seen better looking corpses in hospices.
