Citing one book is not proof of anything. Saying the book has "plenty of scientific references" means nothing, as it could easily be cherry-picking. Color me even more skeptical as he comes off as a denialist and conspiracy type: James_DiNicolantonio

Well that is interesting. There may be a bigger picture here. The whole TRT odyssey began when I started having digesting issues and lost nearly 30 pounds in a very short period of time. I was struggling to eat and sustain weight. After months of inconclusive tests, I was sent to a...

Thanks for the replies. I would say my increase is fairly significant. I just hope it's not to my eventual detriment.

When I started TRT roughly 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with Thrombocytopenia due to my low platelet counts. For the first few years of TRT my counts were around the 75-90 range consistently, where 150 is considered normal. But since those first few years, my platelet counts have gradually...

Where are those studies? Have they been peer-reviewed and validated? "Root causes" issues? How did he determine those? If you read the literature, there's a lot of things that can cause dementia-like symptoms. Finally - when someone like Bredesen makes extraordinary claims a huge...

Reading about Bredesen in particular, where's the evidence? He looking like a quack, for example: Pricey Protocol Not Proven to Prevent or Reverse Alzheimer’s, Says UCSF Neurologist Hope and Hype for Alzheimer’s

What is the expiration date of all those vials?

I went through the same thing. We called, and they said they were in the process of changing their system and they said the new profiles were not set up. They went ahead and ordered a refill on my prescription on the call.

I'll bite. WTF does "Brandon" have to do with supply issues? Seems like some orange-koolaid drinkers have BDS (Brandon Derangement Syndrome).

My main two sources of protein: grass-fed bison, from a local bison ranch, and wild-caught salmon - ordered from an Alaskan supplier and shipped flash-frozen. Both are expensive, but to me, a high-quality diet is one of the best things you can do for your health.

I've commented on the DEA website and I've written to my Senator (whatever good that will do).

Not sure who you are asking, but for me: WBC - 4.0 (this is high for me - almost always between 3.4 and 3.7) RBC - 5.72 Platelets - 124 (fluctuates between 100 to 125, I was low as 72 years ago). Neutrophils (absolute) - 2.4 Lymphs (absolute) - 1.1 I'm not sure what CD4 is.

I was first diagnosed with this condition about 28 years ago when I was referred to an oncologist. He performed a bone marrow biopsy that came back clean. The oncologist then looked at my prior medical records and said it's been going on for at least 15 years before I came to him. So now...

I had slight issues with gum bleeding then changed over to brushing/flossing 3 times a day and those issues went away.

I get this. I'm the same way. I have my family and and this one long-term platonic female friend, but no close male friends although I know a lot of guys. I get bored with being around guys for the most part. I'm long done with superficial conversations centering around sports or...
