“The ever increasing rate and severity of disease, injury and death in exercise buffs and athletes (pre-schoolers, pee-wee league, junior high, high school, college, university, professional and coaches), each isolated and looked at casually would seem to be a stroke of bad luck or a bad throw of the dice – In reality their increased rate of disease, injury and death is a red flag, and a warning that exercise without supplementation is, in fact, self-destructive and suicide!” - Dr. Joel D.
