Geezer question

[Hogmauler]

Saw Palmetto. Does it work or is it snake oil? How can it stay around so long if it doesn’t work?

[Hogmauler]

No geezers out of 53 reads?

You need to be more formal around here. There are no geezers. Now, if you had asked the GOFs, then you'd probably get more answers.

We pride ourselves in be-n GOFs.

I think all those supplements are snake oil as advertised. They may be something your body can benefit from from they are all advertised as miracle supplements which none of them are.

Don't know about that one. I do know I have tried lots of stuff that is supposed to do a lot of things to fix what ails you and they mostly don't work. Melatonin for sleep does work.

My f I l used to take Flow Max but I’ll be danged if I get on another med.

I asked my urologist about Saw Palmeto and he said it's not going to hurt you to try it but the largest peer reviewed studies show it does nothing for BPH. I tried it for 6 months and it did not help.

That’s crazyJerp! The only way this stuff is still around is that there must be thousands of folks becoming g o f,s daily.

The placebo effect. Try telling some old geezer that the stuff he bought off TV at an astronomical price doesn't really work.

True - I think there are a lot of supplements like that. My doc said there are people that swear it works - so placebo or not, no harm in trying it.

I take it, and I definitely pee better when taking it. If I run out and don't restock, I can tell a noticeable difference. I've tried different brands, and some work better than others. There isn't any standardization in purity and dosage with herbal stuff, so it's more of a trial and error process to find one that's actually what it says it is, I guess.

[Man]

As much as I would like for the natural stuff to work (just to stick it to big pharma).....most I have tried didn't do squat. Below are about the only things that surprisingly did work. The rest of the stuff I have taken was all hokey pokey crap

Guarana - Energy
Melatonin - Sleep (makes me have weird dreams though)
Ephedrin - Energy- No longer available because it worked too well.
