Seriously, Find out about experimental design. It obvious when you have to factor in all the variables. You'd be doing something like before and after tests on a treadmill and if you're really serious be collecting expelled air, sweat, urine etc. etc.
Incidentally if you want to look like a marine quickly, do the creatine thing and some bodybuilding. It pumps the muscles full of water and a by-product of this is much increased stamina, explosive power, faster recovery and better repair. Nobody really knows the long term effect of these supplements. I find it amazing that they haven't been outlawed in professional sport. Creatine is much loved by footballers (soccer) and rugby players (er, football). I'm so sad, I should be on the beach now having a bar-b-que with the postgrads but I can't find parking. I like my car, I won't use the bus, I'll never change. The night is warm and full of totty and I'm in here emailing you sad people :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of thomas malloy Sent: 12 August 2005 16:22 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Herbal medicine >Athletes know about this, take the two Lipoic acid and Acetyl-L-cartinine >and your stamina increases.

They only work for a while and the effect can be destroyed by things like microwave radiation. What I want to know is how I can measure the effect, and how to recharge the patches.
