Flamesabers,

The distinction is not the exclusion of the topic, far from it. It's the increased health risk from synthetics vs. plant based herbs. I fear that for some members when NBE isn't enough and who are unable to afford a doctors care what's next next step?, obtaining black market hormones.

I don't think the risk of using synthetics are overlooked or trivialized on this board. From what I see, those on this forum who use synthetics know the risks. I doubt anyone here who has done some research and put some serious thought into the matter is under the misapprehension that synthetics are simply a stronger form of herbals that have the same level of safety. I'm all for promoting caution when using synthetics, herbs or anything else, but I recognize that ultimately it's everyone's decision what products they want to use.

Are there specific members you are concerned about? Or is what you describe a generalized fear?
