>I never said no one should take it or it should be banned, just that it should be avoided. Why go straight to the most potent/toxic drug? You don't reach for a vial of morphine & a hypodermic when you have a headache, you take asprin. What I originally said was "I think it's best to avoid it because it is too nerotoxic for continuos useage" it's pretty true don't you think? Sure there are people that can tolerate big doses for decades, but they are exceptional & pretty far from normal people.

I'm not hostile to Desoxyn, but I get the impression you are hostile towards me.
