Consumer Review: Do You Know How Many People I Operate On Whose Organs Fail Due To Creatine Use?
I have proof from doctors, surgeons, and RNs who see the screwed up people in there unit from that crap and about four other professionals that have no ax to grind that creatine is harmful. It does everything that was said. I took creatine and took the recommended dose and almost had double kidney failure from that crap. So, it is not bull. Eating meat isn't the same as putting a high concentration of creatine into your body. The surgeon who knows better than the fools who take creatine said "You know how many people I operate on who take that creatine because their organs fail".
THIS STUFF IS DANGEROUS! I could have died from it. I am proof. I stopped taking creatine and I am working out and getting just as strong as I was without taking that crap. It angers me to see people not listen and don't care just cause they want results, EVEN IF IT WILL KILL THEM. I have news, NJ is banning creatine and so will all the states eventually and I am glad cause it will save people from their own ignorance. It is not FDA APPROVED because it is dangerous and as long as it does not state that it is a steroid on the bottle it can be sold anyway. That's all I have to say and I have a lot of respect for the GNC employee for telling the truth, God bless ya.
Response #1
No offense, but individual testimonials hardly support a cause and effect relationship between creatine and kidney failure. Studies have consistently shown creatine to have no detrimental effect on the kidneys (Muscular Development, Jan 1999) and other studies fail to report any serious side effects (Sports Supplement Review, 1998). Although this publication is put out by EAS, the journals it cites are not. Your case is important and serious, but I think further research needs to be conducted before we make such claims.
Response #2
After reading the different reactions to creatine, I'm skeptical as to whether I will buy it or not. I have been using dibencozide for several months and it works very well. I have gained about 8 pounds of muscle from the intense workouts it provides. I'm a risk taker, but I don't know if I'll risk my health if this product hasn't been tested by the FDA. We'll see.
