Whatever you feel makes you happier, healthier and/or better, good for you. Who am I to criticize? Whether it's religion, anatabloc, swinging, placebo pills, it doesn't matter. As long as you're not hurting others, right? Leif just happens to think BS is fair game, and I'm calling him out on it. I just suggested he tone down his rhetoric, thus bringing more credibility to this board. By all means, he should keep doing what he's doing. I'm sure he does an outstanding job staying, and keeping others, informed. Unfortunately, I must have entered at a bad time :) I just feel the pumping sends a mixed signal, and dilutes his significance. He can keep doing it, and I can keep calling him out. That's the freedom we all embrace, right?

I happen to be a little more skeptical. I think it has potential, subtle potential, with a variety of ailments/disorders (physical, psychiatric, neurological). But, it's not much of a stretch to see how the bias of a combined consumer and shareholder may inflate one's perspective on efficacy. I believe in anecdotal evidence, but also understand the risk of relying on it.

I used it last year for smoking cessation. I am a true believer in nicotine's medicinal benefits (yet morbidly aware of the risk of lung disease). I'm sure some of that benefit comes from anatabine, but I'm also sure it is not the only compound providing symptomatic relief. I feel it did take the edge off of my cravings, but I recidivated anyway. I also experience chronic pain from a very physical job and very active lifestyle. Those pains I self-diagnosed as inflammation related. As I recall, if there was any pain relief, it was small. Then there is the mood stabilizing benefit of smoking, which may actually be a false benefit,controlled by active nicotine levels. At any rate, I'm smoke free since the New Year, and waiting on my two containers of anatabloc, so we'll see. In addition, I'm a shareholder at 1.75, and tripled up at .96c. I'm acutely aware that I might get burned (the odds are clearly against the longs), but I do see the potential, and I try to be a believer -- I just try harder not to be a blind one.
