Steroid Testing for Texas High School Athletes
I’m fundamentally against the use of state or federal taxpayer funds to finance drug testing for private sports leagues or to finance steroid testing for high school athletes. I am not necessarily against the idea of drug testing for high school athletes. But I am against the type of “feel-good” drug-testing policies that do little […]

But is it the best fat loss drug of its category? Is it possible to improve its effectiveness by stacking it with other drugs? If Clen can help […]
Anorectic Pharmacology Part 2 – Are Diet Drugs Necessary?

Many doctors believe that diet drugs should not be used, and instead people wishing to lose weight should simply eat less and exercise. Sounds easy […]
Anorectic Pharmacology Part 1 – The Absurdity of the New Diet Drugs
I have greatly enjoyed reading Bill Roberts’ Anabolic Pharmacology Column and I applaud him for his help in bringing much needed common sense to the area of anabolic hormone research.

Hi Lyle, My question has to do with the ECA stack (great article on it by Bryan Haycock). I was wondering if yohimbe and/or grapefruit (naringenin) would enhance the stack further. In Dan Duchaine’s book, yohimbe was referred to “letting off the brake where ECA was like stepping on the gas” and I read that naringenin has […]
