Lasix enhances performance

And spell check.

I'm sorry you don't know basic, high-school physiology (ever hear of lactic acid?) thus feel compelled to make fun of what you don't know.

Once again, with feeling ...

Lasix similar to effect of a milkshake? Ridiculous. Lasix has a minor adjustment to elevation of pH (we know that, because that has actually been measured multiple times) but nowhere near what a milkshake does (we know that, because it's been actually measured multiple times).

In fact, our intimate knowledge of the difference in blood pH effects between heat, humidity, lasix, certain feeds, etc. and what a milkshake does is why testing TCO2 levels are set precisely where they are.

Because we know what pH a shot of lasix gives. And we know what pH alkalynizing agents get. They are different.

We have used furosemide internationally for 40 years in the horse, not to mention multiple other species. We know exactly what it does, and how, and why. This is simple, straightforward, basic medical science.

I'm done sparring with the loony conspiracy theorists.
