But people take them and if it makes them feel it works, it cannot do any harm. But there was no medical backing to prove it did anything more than just plain rest or inactivity. So because someone claims they were helped, does not mean they were medically helped. And studies of drugs often give people things that are not the drug to prove the real affects of drugs rather than just what someone thinks. People who take many drugs think they help, that is why they take them.

You're right J.
Taking steroids coupled with an aggressive workout program does not increase muscle beyond the bodies natural ability.
Smokin dope doesn't give you a high.
A double expresso doesn't get you wired
Taking Vicadin doesn't kill the pain
It's all placebo
