How to answer this and not come across offensive or arrogant or whatever???
The thing is Dan, I appear to be in pretty good health for my age and don't 
have any 'issues', so my 'investigative methods' are rather limited.  However, 
I will never go down any road which involves salt, other than to sprinkle some 
on my sandwich perhaps <g>.  I also steer away from most published articles, in 
this instance because it's a bit above my head.  I don't go down any road I am 
unfamiliar with, if it ain't broke I don't mess with it.  Maybe one day if/when 
the need arises I may trawl through the archives and pick something that I 
think is worth a try, THAT'S when I may be more in a position to 'investigate'. 
 One needs to remember, not everyone has issues which requires attention, some 
of us {maybe only me?} don't find a need to play around with all that other 
stuff...yet?  Not implying I am against it, just don't have a need to go down 
that path.
My EIS does everything asked of it up to this point in time, and one can get 
rather tied up with all available published literature and may tend to loose 
sight of things.  Information is one thing, too much information and one starts 
to 'experiment', which is fine for those who wish to pursue other things, just 
not for me at the moment.
I'm not a great believer of 'studies' etc either, they suit a particular agenda 
in my mind, I'd rather stay an independent thinker, that way if anything does 
go wrong, I know exactly where to point the finger, or what to point the finger 
at.  Example: Some report cosmetic issues with the past ingestion or 
application of EIS, I've been ingesting EIS for some time now and I don't have 
any 'cosmetic' issues.  Why is that the case..? I haven't a clue, and I'm not 
about to investigate or experiment to find out either, I have nothing of 
substance to report or investigate.
Just my dumbar*e simple minded simplistic way of viewing things, not everyone 
is credentialled or an academically qualified brainiac, I don't play around 
with things I am unfamiliar with.  Who knows, one day I may NEED to? just not 
yet, the boat may be slowing down, but it's still sailing without any 
assistance, other than my daily EIS regime perhaps, but then perhaps THAT'S why 
I don't have any observable issues to date? <g>.  This may be my one and only 
'investigative method'?
