He does studies with NASA and had some weird stuff to show us. Apparently they came up with a machine that can now tell us what we need exactly in our diet; what we don't need and what we need more of. For instance, my buddy did the test with the machine and it told him he was lacking calcium a lot. So before he took some coral calcium that night he did a strength test and got those results and compared them to the results after loading up on calcium that night and the next day. This is the crazy part, he increased his strength by 17%. Crazy I know. The guy told us that almost no matter what we are lacking in our intake of food and vitamins it all affects our strength. The other weird thing was a strength test also. He had us sit on the floor with our legs flat and our bodies forming a 90 degree angle. He then put one of his hands on our chest and one on our legs and told us to push our upper body towards him. While his hand was on our legs, to hold them down, our strength quickly ran our while he pushed us to the ground while we strained to push back. Immediately he had us get up and bounce on our toes, not leaving the floor for a minute. Then repeat the same thing on the floor. The weird part of this one is that he could no longer push us down, we could withstand him pushing his hardest to push us down and he just couldn't. So why did that happen? He said that our lymph nodes or glands, I can't remember, release a substance into our blood vessels then into our muscles in that short amount of time to give us extra strength. Would this help for lifting weights I said? He said absolutely so I tried it today and sure enough it did help a little bit. Weirdest thing I have ever heard of. Lata, the balla
