The news about Rob Hur supposedly exonerating Biden just made me think of this reminder.

I also remember multiple science shows trying to explain why Lance Armstrong was superior to every other racer. One show went as far to say his blood was superior. I could be wrong but I think that one was a PBS show. It's almost the same story line as Biden getting 81 million real American votes; most popular president ever.
Just wait until NBA fans learn the same about LeBron James.
And what I'm sure he's done to children.
Why yes it do. Are the 5 months up yet?
5 months?
I cannot prove/disprove that Armstrong cheated. He was treated secondarily at my hospital organization for metastases. I have not researched this issue, but I will say this: if he was accused of cheating r/t steroids and/or testosterone replacement, keep in mind what your body experiences with chemo. The chemo can hinder/destroy many body functions: endocrine such as adrenal, thyroid, & sex hormones ( they contribute to the feeling of well-being). If these organs & systems are compromised by something auto-immune or by medical therapies, I believe that supplementing these systems is necessary to feel "normal". I suffer from adrenal & thyroid issues. I take on a a daily basis thyroid and adrenal replacements (Armour Thyroid & Cortef) just to feel "normal". I'm not interested in winning races or accelerating in anything, but I believe replacing certain "hormonal functions" which have been compromised, by whatever means, allows you to feel normal. I have argued with doctors about this issue. They accuse me of taking "steroids"; I do NOT consider taking cortef in a replacement dose as a STEROID. You are replacing the amount of what your adrendals replace normally; taking Armour Thyroid to gain a normal TSH (to feel normal). Again, Armstrong may or may not have doped up (taking more than physiologically necessary), but from a personal experience this is a little more complicated. God bless.
Do you prefer the Armour Desiccated thyroid to synthroid (levothyroxine)?
TheVerboten1, yes I do. Over a decade ago there was a shortage/backorder on Armour. I was advised to substitute Synthroid. I did. It was awful; I could be taking nothing and it would feel the same as Synthroid. But the docs want to see your lab values...my question is: are you going to treat me or the numbers? I hunted around for a few pharmacies and found that some had plenty of Armour. I transferred my script to them and I felt normal again very soon after. Be wary of any MDs that attempt to talk you out of Armour. I had an "excellent" endocrinologist that told me that there is no guarantee that the swine thyroid obtained from each animal is the same quality (these are talking points provided to the docs from the synthetic thyroid-replacement pharmaceuticals). I went after this doc..."so you are saying there is no way to determine quality of the med being produce? Forest Pharmaceuticals has no way of determining quality control for any of their products including Armour thyroid?" She began stuttering. That was the first time and the last time I saw this "top" endocrinologist.
I have read that the Armour desiccated thyroid is superior. When I was about 20 years old I was diagnosed with severe hypothyroidism and started on the Armour product 3 grains per day. Somewhere along the line I got switched to synthroid (around age 28, now 71), and then the generic levothyroxine of which I am currently on 150mcg/day. It seems to bounce back and forth from 125 to 150 mcg depending on the current lab result.
I think I will ask my internist next visit about switching to the desiccated thyroid see how it makes me feel.
You may have to fight them to get them to write for Armour as you are already aware.
I'll take my boxing gloves with me. lol
Correct point but wrong person. Lance always had clean drug tests before, during and after the races. I believe there were threats so severe that he had to agree to be stripped. I think he was going to expose others after he was done.
Wasn't that over a performance enhancer that wasn't commonplace/tested for until years after and they retroactively tested his samples again?
