    Liver support ?

    Ok now i have read over and over that taking milk thisle ,liv 52. ect when on AAS, my question is does any one really think that a over the counter liver sup.. is really going to help them from a Liver toxic dbol or other oral aas?
    I just don't see it. If some one has some kind of scientific revelation that they would like to share i would be interested in reading it.

    Yes. Been doing it for years, and all my blood work and lipid profiles come back normal. That should give you an idea of how well they work.

    Guess what? There is no synthetic compound used to treat the liver.

    Every single liver health product out there from Liv 52 to Essential Forte N is just a combination of natural vitamins and herbs, despite these products in SOME countries classified as a pharmaceutical.

    With that being said, Liv 52 has been shown in many clinical studies (i'm in too much of a rush right now to find them, maybe later) to protect the liver from damage by alcohol or other toxins. It's used in clinical and medical settings to treat people with liver problems. Other products like Liver Stabil or Essential Forte N have all been just as successful.

    So why is Big a liar and Atomini "intersting" for giving you the same information? Granted Atomini went into more detail, but look at Big's number of posts, etc. Maybe don't piss off the guy who can throw you off these forums...

    thank you. I actually avoided including the information Atomini included so as not to be redundant. he knows his stuff and I was just tossing in another vote. I can't help but see irony when the guy wanting to run a dbol /winny cycle 2 weeks ago now chooses to challenge me.

    You are a fn idiot. WOW is all i have to say. Milk thistle has been used for thousands of years.

    My CPA has hepatitis C and has used milk thistle since 1970. Her doc is absolutely amazed on her virus count results every time she goes in to have her blood work done. He says it is truly amazing results for a compound that is not synthetic at nature.

    I think people need to read and research before they make useless and retarded comments like calling someone a liar....WOW!!!!

    UDCA is very effective. You don't need to take that much either. And it does lower the cholesterol.

    Wow, we have derailed.

    Look, we're all here for information, but per the forum rules we need to respect each other. This goes for everyone. It benefits no one when a thread degenerates into bickering and name calling. There's a way to critique and ask for backup without flying off the handle and making accusations or calling people names. Let's try to keep it professional.

    Oh I'm for real. The information that Big gave you is that he's one of the old guard here and he knows from first hand experience. What I was saying is that as a newbie to the forums (not judging, I'm new here too) you aren't going to have an easy time getting the information you want when you insult the people most apt to give you good information.

    Ok well that's fine i want to learn that is why i ask questions.I think maybe instead of worry about what some one else think's you should maybe read what your writting , as you just told me that he said the same thing when what i was told was he was to busy to point me to some kind of documentation.There for told me nothing. As far as the respect thing i am all for it i give what i get,and as for the calling him a liar it was not ment to be taken in such a serious manner i thought people would know that it was in a joking manner???

    I hoped you would recognize that I answer from experience, I thought letting you know it worked might satisfy you to some degree. I responded to your post from my phone while sitting in the doctor's office waiting room, sorry I didn't include references. My answer was correct even though it was not to your satisfaction, I hardly see where my response merited being called a liar. No, I won't ban you, I'll just refrain from advising you in the future.

    lol it was more of show me what you where talking about and where it was coming from.. not as being a acutal liar that is my fault. as far as recognizing that you answer from experience maybe you do but how am i to know that?? thats why i ask for something more then just my word for it.As for not wanting to advise me in the future i agree i should have chosen my words more careful but like i said it was not ment in that context i simply wanted some where i could investage my self.

    OK.....it is not what i THINK I KNOW.....there is a ton of research to back it up as you have now been given. And so you know many people go from educational resources as well as EXPERIENCE....MR. DBOL / WINNY CYCLE...WTF....

    FACT is that my CPA's virus count is lower due to milk thistle....i was just trying to give you some real life experience i have ran into....not something i read in a book or on line somewhere

    And by the way im not Kissing anyones ass here.....i saw your reply and no matter how you try to justify JOKING AS YOU CALLED IT...you were disrespectful .....i still can't figure out why you called him a liar?? There were so many other things you could have said.....like give me more info!

    Oh and don't pull the fukin vet card out either.....that is a bullshit cover up for your ill behavior......i have lost a brother and a grandfather and my dad who is a korean war and vietnam war medic of 26 years would kick your ass for bringing out the vet card and being such an ass in public.....it is not the way a PROUD vet would act.....

    Im not kissing ass, i just see someone acting like an ass and i call it like i see it.

    You will NEVER get help on this forum with your attitude....you should show respect to those who are trying to help you...

    Best of luck to ...

    Yeah, still no sarcasm font, so when you write something it is going to come across as genuine. When people of integrity get called a liar that's a serious personal affront. Personally if someone called me a liar to my face without serious cause and without being what I knew was sarcastic; we'd be throwing hands. It wouldn't matter if the guy was bigger, etc. That's a serious affront, and the worst I'm looking at is having my ass kicked for defending my honor. I've had my ass kicked before, so no big deal. But I promise you that guy would think twice about calling anyone a liar in the future.

    You seem to want everyone to lighten up, so maybe take your own advice. I'd definitely be a bit more sensitive when you word things in the future, and I'm sure others will be more sensitive in their responses.

    Oh, and respect has to be earned. When you're new to something you should respect the veterans, as it's their advice you seek. You are also entering their world, so you might want to mind your Ps and Qs. As a private would you have called a sergeant a liar?

    If I called you a liar to your face, you would try to beat me up?, what if I was a girl, would you kick my ass then tough guy? Words are no reason for assulting someone. The worst you could be looking at would be jail, how's that sound???? Getting into a fight over words is just immaturity rearing its ugly head. Grow up.

    I concur. Someone (who isn't a douche, and who knows how to politely ask for input) should try asking this question again so that we can build an informative thread.

    Yeah, cause I'm immature. Obviously that was overly simplified to make a point. The point being that people of integrity take it seriously when you attempt to impugn their integrity. No tactician opens a conflict by dropping an atomic bomb; it leaves you zero room for escalation. I would start with diplomacy and work my way up.

    For the record I've never hit a woman, nor would I ever for any reason. That's part of the whole integrity thing. Additionally I don't remember ever starting a fight in my entire life, but I've finished plenty.
