I agree on the recovery front Mcibofh… I think the lucky few can respond to conventional stuff but by and large the ‘bodybuilder steroid user fix’ isn’t applicable for us.
I speak semi-regularly to CDNuts too, and he may well help with the podcast if you PM him about it. I understand skepticism about recoveries from people on this forum, particularly when there are so many jokers on here that dilute the credibility of others, but for what its worth I’m certain that he has in fact recovered his health to normality. As well as being helpful and nice, he is a very level guy and not one that would take pleasure from over-egging his health… he was here for years before this and suffered ups and MANY downs like the rest of us. Like I said, I understand skepticism but just my 2 cents.
I also believe that for some people this level of recovery will not be possible and there is an element of luck depending on the predicament you find yourself in. I do believe that you can put luck on your side to an extent with good lifestyle choices through diet and exercise, giving your body the optimum recovery conditions over time. As I’ve said, I don’t think such things guarantee recovery, but I think you will give yourself as good a chance as you’ll get this way.
Slamming yourself with artificial hormones just skews further the equilibrium we are all after in the majority of people.
