WHY is nature immediately associated with good?  Why do companies use the word “nature” to portray their product as viable and healthy?  I seem to remember nature being the true source of dioxins.  I seem to remember nature containing the radon under the houses that lead to so many deaths.  I seem to remember nature being responsible for the advent

Dude...If you knew one thing about doctors you would know they are getting paid for the bullshit they say in the advertisements...And i do belive a cardiologist can have a say in a bowflex commercial simply because excersise can lead to a healthy heart and also have many other benifits as well...However should the doctor be talking about muscle growth? In a since yes. Not the visible muscles we see, which he probably wanted viewers to think and in your part you made an exact point, but the heart as a muscle. Increased activity of the heart can in turn stregthen it and cause it to become a stronger heart. Enhancing the cardiac muscle. I do agree with you that doctors should not be trusted for everything. How can you expect one man to have all the answers of the world. Most of the time doctors can get away with false perscriptions unneccesary surgury and other nonsense simply because the patients or viewers in this case do not have the intellectual values or education and training doctors have so the inferior tend to trust some one with such a high title. I agree with you.

“its ability to induce muscle building”… this was my only assertion… the anabolic nature of “BowFlex” as advertised should not have been corroborated by a cardiologist. Now I realize the inherent point here (involving cardiac hypertrophy) but there was a definite misrepresentation present. I know several cardiologists (through my father’s work) and they may or may not know as much about than you, me, or any other joe. The problem is that they are trusted (as you agreed). The fact I was addressing was that if they were supporting “BowFlex” as a cardiovascular fitness machine they should have said so…otherwise they shouldn’t be trusted in reference to anabolism.

By the way, I know you’d be disappointed if I didn’t so…

It’s “believe” (not “belive”), “exercise” (not “excersise”), “benefits” (not “benifits”), “strengthen” (not “stregthen”), “prescriptions” (not “perscriptions”), “unnecessary” (not “unneccesary”), and “surgery” (not “surgury”)… I know it’s not necessary to entertain these pretensions habits but what the hell… it’s my journal right?
