Hello again blog!
Roger Maris (born Sept. 10, 1934, - died Dec. 14, 1985) was a professional baseball and a stellar athlete. He was a left hand hitter and outfielder who played for the Cleveland Indians, NY Yankees, and the St.Louis Cardinals. In 1961, while playing for the NY Yankees, Maris hit 61 homeruns breaking Babe Ruth’s long standing record of 60, without a needle in sight, or steroid pills…just natural talent. Roger Maris was always criticized by the media for his simple, quiet ways and because sports writers really had no gossip or anything negative to write about, and considered him boring. Maris was a family man, who was honest and lived a clean life. My brother actually met Roger Maris when he was a boy; delivering newspapers back in Queens NY, where Maris rented an apartment to be close to the stadium for the season games. He gave my brother an autographed picture signed, “To John—thanks for delivering my newspapers”. He was a true natural talent and was admired by young and old.
Records are made to be broken, and the people who break them only deserve full credit if they achieve it by playing on an equal playing field. It’s like taking a test and someone gives you the answers before the test. Does that not make you a cheat?
Roger Maris: real role model, and pure natural talent. http://www.sodahead.com/sports/what-do-you-think-about-baseball/question-361203/?link=obaf.
In 1998, professional baseball player, Mark McGuire broke Roger Maris’ 37 year old record of 61 homeruns in a season by hitting 70 homeruns; also, in that same year Sammy Sosa hit 68 homeruns. In 2001, Barry Bonds broke Mark McGuire’s record by hitting 73 homeruns. Besides baseball, what other famous club was McGuire, Sosa and Bonds a member of? You guessed it… They’re all in the juicer club! Unfortunately, they are not alone. There is a long list of famous athletes accused of taking illegal performance enhancing drugs. These are just a few names from that list:
o Ben Johnson: Track Star and gold medal winner in the 100-meter race at the 1988 Olympic Summer Games. He broke his own world record by running the 100 meter race in 9.79 seconds. Days later, Johnson was stripped of both his medal and the world record because he tested positive for the use of steroids. http://www.rsc-ne-scotland.ac.uk/eolympics/IntroductionToPoetry/Introduction.
o Marion Jones: Track Star, won five medals at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sidney Australia, but agreed to forfeit all medals and prizes dating back to September 2000 after admitting that she took performance-enhancing drugs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Jones.
o Floyd Landis- Champion bike Racer won the Tour de France racer Floyd Landis won the Tour de France in 2006 and was the leader of the Phonak (Swiss) professional cycling team, but his win was blemished when he tested positive for synthetic testosterone http://www.answers.com/topic/floyd-landis.
o Lyle Alzado- professional NFL football player played 15 seasons, played for the Denver Broncos, Cleveland Browns but most famous playing for the Los Angeles Raiders, where he won a professional cycling team championship in the 1983 Super Bowl. Alzado died from cancer in 1992 at the age of 43. He is most remembered today for being one of the first major U.S. sports figures to admit using steroids. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyle_Alzado.
These athletes were admired for their great skills and athletic abilities. The average sports fan, weekend warrior, and amateur athlete could only dream of being that talented. But their rewarded accomplishments became tainted and the product of performance enhancing drugs, not “natural” talent. Whenever the public hears news like this it leaves a bad taste in one’s mouth.
Young people sometimes idolize sports figures and look upon them as role models. Whether famous celebrity athletes like it or not, being a role model comes with the territory and carries a great deal of responsibility. Many teens want to look like and emulate these athletes (role models). While trying to outperform competition, at the amateur level, they might turn to steroids without fully understanding the consequences of using performance enhancing drugs or not even care.
What side affects comes with the juice? Stay tuned!

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
