Frank must be one of those guys who works for a company and is paid to search for instances where a product is being bashed and then swoop in to defend them. I had this happen when I was yelling about getting fucked over by AutoZone a while back.

and it usually turns into a clusterfuck (for the company) - like that K&N filter thread in the Garage a while back.

Just joined...six posts so far and the first five were in here defending the crap. Last was in Garage with a WRX posting (to throw us off his scent.) ;)

I did find this thread by a search, and yes I'm defending it. No, I do not work for the company as an employee, I first heard about it when my doctor told me about it, I take protandim, and I know a few people who do also.

So you search around for threads on Protandim because you love it so much? Stop lying to us.

Yes I like Protandim, I thought it was unfair for him to crap on it, when he didn't know much about it.

Really? You troll the internet for two-week old threads so that you can stop the spread of disinformation?

Stop lying. I don't care if you make your money selling Protandim, Viagra, or whatever, but don't lie about it.

her not being able to afford should be the concern here.

Which is a totally viable position, and I don't know if she can afford $40, lets be honest and say maybe she cannot afford NOT too.

What if she spends $100 on drugs, that she could reduce in half. What then?

I don't know either way, just saying I've seen that. My dad takes it and lets just say his doctor reduced his meds, the net for him is lower than it was before.

What disinformation did I spread?

I said the FDA cannot regulate it.

I gave some links to some Protandim research.

Maybe you didn't want that, if you don't care, leave the thread.

You are not very intelligent. Read what I wrote again.

I said that YOU entered this thread to stop the spread of "disinformation." In other words, I'm saying that you came in here to debunk other people's posts about your super supplement being BS.

I don't care about the validity of your supplements or research or whatever, I just want you to admit that you have a stake in this enterprise, because it's glaring obviously to everyone else.

My girl swears by monavie and takes it daily. She is saving money since she doesn't have to goto the chiropractor anymore. And she hardly complains about back pain anymore.

If your mom is in the same boat with this stuff then just back off.

I did come here to debunk, what's wrong with that, you are here trying to debunk me.. what is your stake in that?

Yes I own PubMed.gov, you caught me.
Yes those studies either wholly supported by LifeVantage or conducted by persons working for LifeVantage are certainly convincing.

I guess you just showed me what's what. :(
