[need2grow]

Yes I know all of these things you just told me. I definitely will not be putting something in my body without researching it first. I read about that, but there's no research saying it's not going to help you either. I'm willing to take the risk, my decision not yours. I've grown 0.5 inch on it and I'm happy with that. I wasnt intending to take it for longer than 3 months. Originally I was only going to do noogleberry and massage, but I got inflamed hair follicles and couldn't continue. So I didn't want to slow my growth so o decided to be on BO for a little while.

You shouldn't just assume I didn't do research on something before taking it. Just because I didn't research herbs doesn't mean I took BO without knowing any side effects or health concerns. I was only asking you a simple question if it would be ok to take herbs with BO since it does release other hormones and can be conflicting.

Another thought, BO is natural in fact, some cultures eat all of the parts of the cow, so it isn't unusual to some to eat the ovaries. And I get my BO from swansons which is a trusted brand and source their cattle from Argentina which practice good cattle standards. Of course anything supplemental you take is not even 100% safe including your herbs since they aren't FDA approved. In fact, most medications aren't even 100% safe even if they are FDA approved. anything you read on the internet isn't 100% true either. Fact is we all take risks and I will just choose what I want and you do what you want.

I'll have to quote myself on this one. " Not that it has anything to do with the fact that you're taking BO or not." "I'm not an expert, so I can't say that some of you might not really benefit from it." "If you say you've had good results from taking it ,then by all means do take it."

"I read about that, but there's no research saying it's not going to help you either." - I already said that.
"I'm willing to take the risk, my decision not yours." - I did say that if you've had good results, then "by all means do take it".
"BO is natural in fact, some cultures eat all of the parts of the cow, so it isn't unusual to some to eat the ovaries." - When did I mention that it's not natural? I know people eat animals. I've done it too until I understood that that's not the way my conscious or my body wants me to live.
I only did the research for you because I'm not intending to take it ever, I just took my time and read about it (I've also read about it before,but not for those purposes) because that's how I do things. I like being specific and clear. And I thought that maybe you would find something new about it. My intention was to make sure you'll not end up having health issues or anything. I did not assume you have no clue about it. That's absurd. But if this is your way of "handling" it, than fine. (I guess)

Oh..I wanna clear this one in particular: Of course anything supplemental you take is not even 100% safe including your herbs since they aren't FDA approved." heh.. how do I start. FDA stands for " Food and Drug Administration " it has NOTHING to do with plants and herbs. Plants/herbs fall into the dietary supplements category and I'm going to make is short because otherwise it's going to take me a loong time considering the fact that I'm sick of all these corporations.

"Under the food category there are dietary and herbal supplements but the FDA has declared that this category of foods cannot treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. The FDA has narrowly defined that this classification of food can only nutritionally support (as a food) the structure or function of an organ or a system. The FDA mandates the only claim allowable for dietary supplements are called “Structure-Function Claims.” One might read one of these “allowable claims” somewhere... This substance/product/herb/vitamin nutritionally supports healthy cholesterol levels. (But if I already had normal cholesterol, why would I need to nutritionally support that?)
But, as soon as a dietary supplement actually CHANGES the function or structure of an organ or system (say, by lowering cholesterol) or actually treats a disease or condition like high cholesterol, or someone who sells the supplement claims (even truthfully) it can treat a disease or condition, in the eyes of the FDA, that supplement automatically and instantaneously transforms to a drug. Worse; the person or company selling it now becomes a criminal by selling a unlicensed and unapproved drug and faces civil and criminal charges, fines, and even incarceration.
incarceration.

Here’s a great example of how this is supposed to work. There is a long history of use by people on almost every continent that prunes are a great natural remedy to treat and cure mild to moderate constipation (a health condition). I’ll BET even those 3,000 BC Egyptians knew it too. But if a company selling dried prunes, prune juice, or capsules containing dried prune juice actually says that truthful statement in their marketing materials, on their food labels, on their website, or refers in any way to this long established traditional use of treating or curing a medical condition, that food product is instantly transformed into a drug in the eyes of the FDA. Now that company is selling an unlicensed drug and subject to criminal and civil prosecution. The product in the eyes of the FDA is “unsafe” since there are no double-blind placebo clinical trials proving the safety and efficacy of prunes being used to treat or cure constipation.

So now prunes are a drug because some company said there was a long history of use of using prunes for constipation. You should get a prescription from your doctor for prunes to treat your constipation. But wait, first someone (stupid) has to conduct millions of dollars of clinical drug trials to prove that prunes will treat your constipation (despite the fact a billion people already know that) before anyone can make that claim or a prune drug is approved and blessed by the FDA. Maybe we should have drug warning labels on prune juice that say people without constipation might get diarrhea if they consume too much? But prunes are already in nature and cannot be patented. Who is going to spend $10 million dollars or more in clinical trials to prove to the FDA what we already know if any and everyone can then sell prunes with the now FDA approved drug claim that it can be used to cure, treat and prevent a condition like constipation? You got it - no one will.

I can care less of these companies, there are hundreds of products that contain fluoride and SLS (sodium-lauryl-sulfate) and many many more other chemicals that do harm to your body.And apparently FDA doesn't do s**t. Fluoride lowers IQ, calcifies your pineal gland, acts like a magnet for harsh metals like mercury and lead, those go into your bloodstream. (I AM NOT ASSUMING that YOU might NOT know about those things, but this is an ONLINE site and many people can read this.) I just like to help people open their mind because I see how many are there that do not question a lot of things and have become used to rely on the government.
For some of you that might read this and get interested, here's a video on fluoride and some other interesting informations:

I just like speaking my mind that's all. My intention was not to offend you or huff your knowledge. But the opposite. You did say that we're here to HELP each other, and that's what I'm doing.
Did you really think that I could in anyway oblige you to not take BO or anything else? How could I do that anyway? Of course everybody does what they want but I like to believe that there are people that like getting informations ,even if they know things about that topic, I think of it as a puzzle. We just take pieces from one another and complete ours. But again, if this is your way of responding to my intention..fine. I can't do much,can I?
I hope you'll achieve your goals further. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
