I guess I should say that I have no financial interest whatsoever in the product and Adam has not paid me to endorse it- it's just the truth. That's saying quite a bit because my office fills with crap on a weekly basis sent to me from every corner of the world of health and fitness, in the hopes that I might like the stuff enough to write about it or give it to one of the celebrities or athletes I work with. I swear I get sent everything to try from Protein Drinks and protein bars, to special food samples, so-called miracle dietary supplements, medicinal patches and gels, fat-burning bread, testosterone-boosting dried superfruits, beauty rejuvenators, magic machines, latest-greatest exercise pieces, fitness videotapes with the newest Billy Blanks look-alike, organic hot sauce, religious water with special healing powers, etc. Get the picture? It can be hilarious at times, but also annoying.

            When I was on ABC's "Shaq's Big Challenge" every week, things got so nuts I was having my assistant and the director of our Greenwich center go through the pile of stuff at the door and turn away as much as possible. It's not quite as crazy now, but the hauls still come in. I'd say 80 percent of it is garbage and ends up appropriately deposited by our cleaning staff in the dumpster downstairs, along with other silly and worthless means and methods that have little or no effectiveness, credibility and/or usability.

            As an aside, I really hate it when someone I know or a friend sends me crap at this level. I hate breaking the news to them that whatever they are hawking or have an interest in actually sucks. But it is what it is and I sometimes end up hurting feelings. That said, another 15 percent ends up having some utility but are still not realistic and/or workable enough for me to do anything with. They tend to end up in the hands of my staff.

            This week, one of my physician colleagues took home a case of energy drinks with some strange ingredients and an equally bizarre name, while one of our physical therapists was lucky enough to bring home some organic pet treats for depressed dogs. Care for a treat? Well, at least they didn't go to waste. The last 5 percent is usually the stuff that warrants a second look by yours truly. In the case of Rxodus,^TM it got more than a few looks from me. Someone finally came out with a bodybuilding product that allows us to get the organic green fiber nutrients we need in our diet in a way that conforms to what we are familiar with. You can check out the product at www.rxodus.com or call 1-800-901-9396 to learn more.
