Stemulite – How safe is it? from Yahoo "Answers"

by Stephen Holt, Stemulite Fitness Pro


Yes, it sends me some traffic (due to my huge percentage of “Best Answers,” no doubt), but Yahoo! Answers is a joke. Any bozo (I thought about saying “any yahoo,” but that was too easy) can “answer” a question.

Here’s the response picked as “Best Answer” (out of the total of one possible answers) to the question, “How Safe is Stemulite?”

I was also excited to read about Stemulite, but could find little independent press coverage of this great sounding product beyond company PR and what appear to be mostly paid testimonials. Then I did a search on the founder, Dr. David Summers, and came across the following story, which you might want to read before choosing whether or not to purchase. (Metabolic Research Inc., noted in this article, is the OTC company that is introducing .) To be fair, the article does not appear to be unbiased, so you need to form your own opinion. But it did give me reason to walk away from the product and shed some light on why a product with so many proclaimed benefits would have so little legitimate coverage in the mainstream medical, science and fitness media.

Go to the link they provided and you get the message:

The requested content was deleted with notes.

I read the original article months ago when I was doing due diligence before I signed on as contractor with Metabolic Research, Inc.

And the response from the person who asked the question was equally puzzling:

Thanks!!! I thought it sounded too good to be true.

Huh? Some yahoo (sorry, I couldn’t pass it up this time) posts a link to a story (that’s even been deleted), and the Asker concludes, “Oh, well, Stemulite can’t possibly be safe.”

(I certainly hope you use a more logical thought process on Election Day.)

Here’s an idea – How ’bout checking some facts from the SEC on a site like Yahoo!Finance on this publicly owned company?

Stemulite has “so little legitimate coverage in the mainstream medical, science and fitness media” because it’s new. Where do you think “legitimate coverage” would come from with an entirely new product?

Hell, up until a couple of months ago, I was one of only a handful of people IN THE WORLD even knew it existed.

I’m in charge of writing articles for fitness media and hoping that the increased exposure will lead to independent coverage. But ’til then, it’s just me.

Plenty of companies ask me to back them, but I went with Metabolic Research, Inc. only after checking them out thoroughly. I even flew to Houston to meet with Dr. Summers and was immediately overwhelmed by his wall of patents.

Yep, a WALL of patents. As a former mechanical engineer, I was awed – and jealous.

If you want to find out more about Dr. Summers’ background in creating supplements, just do a search on Endothil. He’s the inventor.

And his personal research shows Stemulite to be far more powerful.

Here’s my quasi-unbiased review on Stemulite:

Before Stemulite, I used to fade in the afternoon. Now I’m productive all day long. I also have definition I haven’t had since my college football days. (Keep in mind I’ve been in the Olympic bobsled trials and completed five marathons in the interim.)

How ’bout this for logic? Why not try Stemulite (technically Dr. Summers’ Fitness Formula for Men Powered by Stemulite or Define Fitness Formula for Women Powered by Stemulite) and make an actual informed decision instead of basing your opinion on someone else’s opinion who had zero facts themselves.

Thanks for the info. I have been looking at this and there is very little out there on Stemulite. This has helped me a great deal

Hi, Jerry, my fellow Baby Boomer -
I’m glad I could help.

As I mentioned, it’s my job to get the word out about Stemulite. I’m working on a forum just for Stemulite customers. I’ll let you know when it’s ready.

When you try it, please let us know how it worked for you. – Stephen

Hi, JB -
Thanks for two intelligent, thought-provoking questions. (That’s rare in a public forum :-)

Dr. Summers just sent me your answers and I’ll post it all in a day or two. Obviously, it’s too complicated to address in this “Comments” section.

Thanks again. – Stephen

Two questions.

1) What is the impact on the liver and kidneys?

2) How does this product show on a urinalysis?

Thank you.

I would ask everyone to do a web search of David Summers (who is pushing this garbage) and words “fraud” and “security exchange commission” or “sec” and you’ll see the crook he is.

Hi, Mark -
David Summers is no longer involved with the company that produces Stemulite.

I also advise that you examine the results of the case against him.

Regardless, the former issues involving the handling of stock have nothing to do with the efficacy of the actual product. – Stephen

I just have a concern regarding the melatonin in the product. Melatonin is a neurotransmitter in the brain that aids in sleep. It is helpful in the short term for things like jet-lag but taken on a continual basis can cause depression in some people. Of course this supplement will make you tired; but that is due to the Melatonin… the problem is your body will stop producing it itself leading to problems down the road. As we age we produce less and less Melatonin (which is why the elderly don’t sleep as much) and supplementation is appropriate. But, I don’t see any research on this product regarding Melatonin’s impact on mental health and there should be.

Yahoo answers is a great place for getting valuable insight to tough questions. Stephen Holt doesn’t no shit-that is the impression I got from the first sentence of this post..

Yes, somepeople who actually know [correct spelling, mind you] what they’re talking about answer questions at Yahoo!Answers, but, as I said, anybody clever enough to sign up for a Yahoo account can throw in an answer – much like I allow virtually anyone – including people who don’t “no” how to spell – to comment on my blog.
