    Prostatitis?

    I had it once and after several rounds of antibiotics it seemed nothing would work. Then I got a DRE - and it cleared up almost immediately, I felt better walking out of the office. So I can vouch a prostate massage can have real therapeutic value.

    Resistance training restores hormone decline in older men

    Since theses mechanisms of steroidogenesis are site-specific in the muscles, I think its safe to say it will take place regardless of the source of T or DHEA. I've previously seen other articles regarding the conversion of T to DHT in response to exercise, in the trained muscles. And some of...

    Bringing dhea levels up

    I wanted to chime in here and report I started using the Nature's Plus lipoceutical DHEA sublingual spray mentioned in this thread - and feel better with it. There have been no negative issues as I had previously experienced with most forms of oral DHEA I had used in the past.

    If you accept the hypothesis and clinical findings of the authors of the previous study, such a condition (degeneration of venous valves causing chronic higher back pressure in venous network) could lead also to venous leakage developing in concert with BPH. It seems the two conditions seem to...

    Turmeric/Curcumin

    Its great stuff! I like to mix a pinch in with my drinks of Spirulina, another superfood. Tastes good to me with the added spice.

    Body Shaving Question

    A close trim is generally best but certain areas a shave is the only way to get smooth, there is a product called Tend Skin which I have used for ingrown hairs and it really works great.

    Methylphenidate ADHD Medications: Drug Safety Communication - Risk of Long-lasting Er

    I'll take a shot at this - likely over-simplifying, but (along with numerous other factors) the parasympathetic nervous system governs erections while the sympathetic governs orgasms, so I simply suspect that some of these medications under certain conditions can tip the balance towards...
