I have nothing against the pill companies. After surviving breast cancer and suffering with rhumatoid arthris, my wife takes enough pills every day to keep a couple pharmacutical companies in business for a long time! I, on the other hand, other than an aspirin and a vitamin a day, have not taken any medication for many years.

I see commercials such as the one we are discussing as an insult to my intelligence. Sure, since I started riding my bike, I have had my share of sore muscles. But, by seeking advice and properly training, my level of performance has increased without the need for any pills. You suppose that guy on the TV just needs to work a little harder, or have a little more patience??

I detest the mentality of many consumers who watch this stuff, and believe that a little pill is going to perform such miracles. The sad truth is that people buy into this train of thought...if they didn't, there wouldn't be commercials such as this one!
