I could only find quotes from Patrick Arnold where he was neither giving credence to nor discrediting Arachidonic Acid.Oh yeah. I believe I know which conversation you're referencing? Unless you have another one you might have tucked away you wanna share?
I've known Patrick (on a personal level) since he moved to Champaign, I'll back around 98' or thereabouts. I was one of the first to guinea pig several of his supplements long before he launched them. I also introduced my brother to Patrick years ago, in which he was a sales rep for him and Lakhan when Ergopharm was the hit supplement line.
Nevertheless, I've had this same conversation with Patrick, he didn't seem to carry the same tone you're describing.
I have to retract the statement that I "came across a quote" as I believe he was commenting on potential dangers of X-factor on a podcast I'd heard. I shouldn't have said "very dangerous" as he commented something along the lines of people with hereditary issues of inflammation should avoid it. Arthritis runs in my family thus it could be very dangerous for me to use. I admit the mistake.
If memory serves me correctly, by Patrick Arnold's own admission, he has a demeanor and way of speaking that can be misleading or misconstrued. I took it that Patrick Arnold was being crtitical of William Llewellyn's knowledge, however perhaps I was wrong.
I do not wish to discredit or disrespect either individual. I have 2 of Llewellyn's Books and used to follow PA's blog and posts on Muscular Development.
I considered the risk of AA and chose to take it anyway. My muscles felt full at first and then I started having joint issues. Eventually my elbows were just shot. I had an extra bottle and gave it to a co-worker who felt he wouldn't have any issues. Ultimately he didn't have any joint issues and really like the product.
I personally wouldn't recommend that anyone take Arachidonic Acid, but this is my subjective opinion. There are many studies showing positive results.
