Compounding pharmacies are in many ways just a continuation of the original apothecaries and pharmacies, and the US is hardly the only country with the legal framework that allows this. Australia was basically a carbon copy of the US in thi

Compounding pharmacies are getting the raw API from China. Some of them are getting it from FDA registered facilities in China. Some are not. It should be more or less the same thing as the legit stuff, but it is made with a different proce

In the other comment where I replied to you I explicitly mention I barely talk to the CBP officers at all with GE, vs. having a whole script without it.

That would still be a benefit even if that was the case, but I frequently do not have to say a word beyond "hello" or "have a good one" to the border agent.

As someone who has traveled extensively with and without GE, your experience is extremely atypical. Not just for myself, not just for people I am acquainted with, but for all of the people I see in the customs lines and watching the speed o

It's still correct, but like most things related to human health, there are many different factors at play. The practical consideration for most people is not just getting too much, or having high levels of both muscle and fat, increas

Do you think the shots through the driver window, after the agent was 100% out of the way of the vehicle, were justified? From the medical examiner we know it was one of these two shots that killed her. We know they did not come in through

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Have I missed somewhere in the discussion where eGFR equation adjustment based on ethnicity has been discussed? Creatinine is the standard marker used for eGFR. It is also a bypr

I've not seen evidence that creatine actually has significant impact on eGFR. Anecdotally, mine does not budge even on 5g a day. Meta-analysis show minimal impact, e.g. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1259

None of this combats anything in my statement. Again, the officer that begins the shooting can literally see Pretti is disarmed. He has no gun. He watches the other agent take his gun off of him . A more reasonable take in that situation w
