When you use drugs you’re short-circuiting your body’s normal processes. By providing hormones and other substances from outside the body, you shut down the internal mechanisms that would normally produce that substance. This is easier to understand if we use the analogy of a factory producing some goods. If we provide the goods that the factory would normally make, then there is no need for the factory to be operational. If the factory is shut down long enough then sometimes it's hard to get it up and running since we have to round up the workers and raw materials, and get everything working at peak efficiency again.
The same things happen to our internal factories when we provide outside hormones and drugs. Whatever processes are involved in making these compounds, or in doing the things that these compounds do, are thus no longer needed so they’re essentially shut down. This can result in long term and sometimes a permanent imbalance in the body that can be harmful to your health.
An example would be the use of anabolic steroids in males. Their use shuts down all the hypothalamic, pituitary and testicular (evidenced by shrinking testicles) processes involved in the production of testosterone. After they’re discontinued, in the time period during which the body is getting back to normal, most of the results and advantages of using drugs, are invariably lost. But it can be even worse than never having gone on the drugs since, in some cases, the systems never really return to normal.
On the other hand by maximizing the stimulation or activation of your internal factories, similar to how they would naturally be stimulated in the first place, you would be maximizing the input, the operation, and the output of your own body, making it hum along at peak efficiency. Couple the effects of the Metabolic Diet with the use of effective nutritional supplements, and use these in specific ways in different phases of training and you’ve got a natural, safe, and effective system for making progress and reaching your goals, without drugs.
As well, by staying natural, we avoid the possible short- and long-term consequences of drug use. These include short and long term changes in hormonal, metabolic and homeostatic processes and possible tissue and organ dysfunction. The long-term consequences of using some of the ergogenic and body composition changing drugs are yet to be determined but may well result in significant cardiovascular, hormonal, and carcinogenic (cancer producing and/or promoting) consequences.
Just keep in mind that by using drugs you force your body to adapt in ways that it’s not meant to, and that the changes brought on by drug use may have significant short- and long-term consequences. By using the Anabolic Solution your body is in control, and changes in ways that are compatible with short and long term health with results that are comparable to those obtained with the use of drugs.
