Palumbo - Was he really that good of a drugs specialist and diet dude

[Stavios]

Yes, sounds like BS. Wouldn't be surprised if he never went to med school in the first place.

There's no way he left medical school on his own accord, from what I hear years 2-3 is when you really get burnt out from all the sleepless nights due to studying and the workload intensifies in the program. Makes sense, he probably just couldn't hack it, just like he couldn't get his pro card.

Nope. While it is very intense, the rigmarole and cramming to get accepted into is equally rigorous. I agree with the others in that I bet he never attended. I remember Benny Podda used to say he dropped out of medical school - and this is a guy who later posed as a Yaqui seer in a cave in California, for Christ's sake.

I never read his column or read MD forums etc.

But...

Was he really that good of a drugs specialist and diet dude?
Was he highly qualified or simply knew his stuff without any formal qualifications through experience/trial and error etc.

Everyone seems to prais eand respect him for this knowledge.

Cheers for help.

Palumbo is a wanna be steroid guru. He is a fucking hack. The guy takes his diet advice from the old ketogenic high fat diets of Mauro DiPaquale. He takes basic knowledge of orals being hard on the liver and kidneys and couples that with the epiphany that testosterone is the greatest muscle builder. Throw in the GH with it.   Wow!!!  What a fucking genius!   For Christs sakes.....this guy is a fraud. who would take advice from a man that looks like a transexual ape? The only true steroid guru that opened the door to the imitaors was the late Dan Duchaine. The rest are all fucking goons.

Who would take advice from somone who apparantly has sold Fake GH.

Apparantly he really didn't sell fake GH.  He did sell it to a well known pair of people who were willing and did sell the fake Serono..  Know your facts first b4 you write bullshit..

A professional body builder who illegally distributed fake human growth hormones he bought from a San Diego-based ring was sentenced to five months in federal prison and five months of house arrest last week.

Dave "Jumbo" Palumbo of Long Island, N.Y., is the highest profile defendant targeted by the breakup of the ring in which four other men, including a father and son from National City, have pleaded guilty.

Palumbo pleaded guilty in San Diego federal court in October to illegally selling 90 boxes of the fake hormone for about $63,000.

His lawyer argued in court Friday that the weightlifter and editor of RxMuscle magazine thought he was dealing with the real thing and injected some of the concoction himself.

Prosecutor Melanie Pierson responded that Palumbo appeared on national television as an expert on counterfeit hormone.

He should have picked up on differences in the labels of the real and fake versions of Serostim, a hormone approved for use by underweight AIDS patients, she said.

The fake Serostim was made by an Oregon company for Ronald Nollett Sr. and Roland Nollett Jr. of National City, who poured them into vials and packaged them to look like the real thing.

In more than 10 years, they produced more than 6,000 vials of the concoction, which did not include the active ingredient in Serostim. An FDA test of seized vials found mold in a highly acidic solution.

They were caught after a Spring Valley printer tried to collect money from the Swiss company that actually makes the drug when a check for the fake drug's packaging bounced.

In court, Palumbo was contrite.

"I've embarrassed myself," he said. "I think of myself as a role model in society. ... Now I know who I truly am."

But outside the courtroom, his lawyers prevented him from saying whether he'd sworn off the use of drugs that stimulate muscle growth.
