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...

Due my age + my Dad having had major prostate issues my PCP put me on tadalifil 2.5mg and pays close attention to the PSA/digital exams. My PSA is still good but it's slowly ticking up. That said, I don't have any urinary issues, don't need to get up a night, etc. Living in a northern...

I generally get about 6 to 6.5 hours of solid sleep, often being awakened about 5am due to morning erections. No water retention - once I got some weight back after that initial big drop, it's been within a narrow 5-pound window for about 5 years now. I do exercise religiously and...

Yet another new article: Psilocybin Therapy Sharply Reduces Excessive Drinking, Small Study Shows

@Willyt --- I do IM and it was my trough in the morning before my next injection. Usually I'm in the 700's in my testing, so this number was a bit higher than normal.

Goat cheese and goat yogurt every day.

There's a Netflix series about psychedelics - "How to Change your Mind" - 4 eps, covering MDMA, Mescaline, LSD, and psilocybin and how they are being used in various forms of therapy. I always had a rather negative attitude towards psychedelics but this show really opened my mind towards their...

Thanks for the replies. One other thing. For the longest time I had dirt-low ferritin about 14. I had started out on a vegan diet as per a Celiac nutritionist specialist but it was obvious that it was not working for me. Once I switched to a more Mediterranean/higher fat diet + doing...

I used to post my blood test results here but have not done so in a long while. Just over 5 years ago, due to what was diagnosed as Celiac Disease being triggered for some reason, I lost nearly 30 pounds in only 2 months and was unable to absorb nutrients. The result was that my total T...

What the heck does this have to do with BPH? And something that is banned by various organizations.

You also pay through the nose for Dr Rob. Been there, done that. I much prefer Defy, they won't try and shove every vitamin/supplement known to mankind on you.

From what I see, this FDA effort against HCG compounding was initiated Feb/March 2020 (dim memory from a prior Nelson article) and has mostly to do with the abuses of HCG for weight loss purposes. Accordingly, mid-summer last year, seeing the handwriting on the wall, I started reducing my...

Same for me, but on 2.5mg Cialis.

I read this story about this woman who's father started showing signs of Alzheimer in his 70's. He had also had heart issues that required a pacemaker. Both the woman and her father's PCP strongly recommended NOT doing the pacemaker surgery, and let things take it course more quickly rather...

Thanks for the replies. Txmx - sorry to hear about your wife, and reading about her experience was rather nerve-wracking. He did dilate and perform a lengthy look around in the eye. That said, I looked up vitreous degeneration and at this point it seems that in my situation that it's...

Thanks Vince. That is good information.

The weekend before Thanksgiving I started experiencing in my one eye an irregular pattern of small dark dots or small circles that looks sort of like a small faded raindrop. It's only noticeable in very bright light or against a white/bright background. It's more annoying than anything, it's...
