Just wanted to know if it is as effective if you take Creatine every other day instead of doing a 2 week on/off cycle. This is because I just want to give my system time to get rid of all the creatine. One of my friends knows this one really cut guy that was always on creatine and he recently had kidney failure, another had kidney stones.......these are distant people that I have never met, but the fact that they used to take Creatine scares me........
