I totally agree. The issue was, and if anyone was around during that exchange between Nelson and myself they would remember, I wasn't the first to hurl an insult. He basically said I was out of my league for trying to debate with him and referred to me as a "kid" that could only cut & paste medical studies. This happened well before we even got into a good debate. I hardly even insulted him... I think I called him arrogant and he got all wound up and started to insult me. So I returned the favor a couple of times.
I'm not going to insult someone for no reason. I never do that. Nelson has earned any and every insult flung his way.
The main reason the debate got heated is because IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DEBATE WITH NELSON ABOUT HIS PRODUCTS BECAUSE HE WILL NOT DEBATE!
I've been around a long time, so I'm sure I was here. But, I'm not about to go look for an obscure old thread, especially if it's somewhere in the recycle bin! That's over. It was then, not now.
If it's impossible to debate with Nelson, then don't debate. Just post your studies, facts, and opinions without emotion. I had a boss once that used to tell me to look at an issue and remove all emotions and get to the facts. Well, this is not an exact science, so there will be opinions. But again, state them without the emotion. What works with you might not work with others. Posting abstracts of one subject in a non placebo controlled, non peer reviewed study doesn't really lend much credibility to any argument either. Try that with a doctor, pharmacist, scientist, etc. They will "lol". Trust me!
If you do this and Nelson, or anyone else starts hurling insults, just take out the emotion and state your opinion WITHOUT slinging mud back. That way you can't have any fingers pointing at you. I know it's hard for most people to not fight back, but really...this is the internet. There's no threat here. It's not like Nelson's going to be able to punch you in the face or anything. LOL!

Does his product being natural (plant derived) mean your body is doing something natural in response to them? No. They work just like any other drug to illicit a response.
Not necessarily any other drug because drugs have different pathways, and hell, some drugs do things that scientifically/medically still can't be explained...but I get what you are saying. Yes, in our case of HPTA, something gets stimulated somewhere along the path to produce a response. As far as natural...let's not forget where this all started. Chinese have been using botanicals for centuries. There are mnay drugs that were derived from botanicals (plants/herbs) too. So yes, they are similar.
