Isn't this where the "blue-bloods" come in?

As to why we keep taking it is because we would rather be healthy--To hell with the looks. I'm to damn old to give a damn what I look like--Besides I already have an excellent wife so I don't have to go chasing and she is all right with it.

It would be interesting to see the results, but I bet there aren't many! And given people's fears, I know for certain that if I told the people I know who are taking EIS that they could get argyria, (even if they only take the smallest amount) then they *wouldn't* take it, and would lose out on all the benefits. I don't think its worth this for such a remote possibility, especially as argyria is not life threatening and reversible. Also, I can't understand why if people start to get a tinge of colour, why they don't stop taking it? dee > > >On 27 Jan 2010, at 17:05, Norton, Steve wrote: > >When people use EIS, they don’t necessarily have the perfect lifestyle, diet, >habitat, supplement consumption or the ideal physiological processes.
