JFK had a Dr Feelgood. What about you?

JFK had an awful back condition that would have been enough to keep anyone down, including himself. But he wanted to be exceptional, so he enlisted the help of an MD to make him sufficiently mobile to do the great job that he did. Presumably there no adverse effects from this extreme supplementation because he had a pro to watch over him

The intent here is to use an extreme example of what people do to  enhance their performance. Of course, we all of how athletes use steroids in spite of them being illegal and dangerous. Consequently, there is an initial aversion to anything even remotely similar.

The question is are all of them as bad as steroids? It is reasonable to assume that if you are reading  these articles you are in fact intelligently looking for ways to maximize your healthiness. That's why this post in here. Its to encourage you to take a risk on something as innocuous as green tea capsules if you have been reluctant to do so in the past.

There are other enhancers as well. They are of the over the counter variety. Any health food store on the internet can give you a list.  You don't need an MDs prescription to use them. You simply buy them, read the directions and go from there. Generally this means doubling the recommended dose as the manufacturers are all concerned over negative reactions, but it some cases that's not true. You have to determine what is right for you. And, that may take a bit of experimenting.

Asking your MD if this is an acceptable pursuit is probably not going to be helpful. MDs are all mostly against anything except  what is considered to be OK by the majority which pass them on the street. The question is what's that. Does this mean three square meals with possibly a cup or two of coffee or no coffee at all or what? Surely the use of vitamins ought to be included, but it never is.

For all practical purposes, if you have a JFK mentality, you will want a Dr Feelgood to help you push beyond your limitations. We all know that we are using a small fraction of what we have inside. What we all need is something to push us a little beyond without hurting us in the process.  It would be wonderful if more MDs would acknowledge this and be more supportive things other than the now acceptable one, maybe two cup of java. There really are some less expensive substances that do a better job, without the side effects. Being "on them", as its said will help you stay on course with your daily workouts.
