Interesting. The article critiques the French study for choosing patients not in bad shape: "Although some of their results appeared to be encouraging, it should also be noted that most of their patients only had mild symptoms. Furthermore, 85% of the patients didn’t even have a fever – one of...

Similar to post #50, but with a slightly different discussion and some good citations: https://www.snopes.com/news/2020/04/03/small-trial-finds-hydroxychloroquine-is-not-effective-for-treating-coronavirus/

Interesting. It might be worth looking at the discussion on Medscape as well: https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/927033 Wikipedia already contains a reference to this and says: On March 17 after testing in several hospitals around Italy the Italian Pharmaceutical Agency has included...

From various sources, I found that:1 IU HCG = .1 mg HCG = 100 μg HCG This means that:1,000 IU/ml = 100 mg/ml = 100,000 μg/ml And: 5,000 IU = 500 mg (not 1 mg) The SIGMA Product Information sheet confuses more than it clarifies: "Dilute aqueous solutions undergo rapid loss of activity...

Hmmm...the spec sheet you attached says: "Dilute aqueous solutions undergo rapid loss of activity when stored frozen, or heated, or if excess acid or base is added. Gelatin and serum proteins help to stabilize aqueous solutions of hCG. hCG is stable in a glycerol solution at 100°C for one hour...

Actually, I spent a few hours on web searches, so I did skip the forum search. Some of the issues I mentioned were not covered in any of the discussions I saw. For instance, there is a lot of discussion about freezing HCG, but not much discussion of sterility. I decided to search this forum...

Hi, I've just started taking HCG. It's rather obnoxious that you get it in large vials whose efficacy starts to go downhill the moment its mixed. And its so delicate: it needs refrigeration after it's reconstituted and should not be disturbed much to avoid breaking up the delicate protein...

To close the loop here, I wound up with DefyMedical and had my first appointment with Dr. Calkins. We'll see how it goes...

My thanks to everyone who clarified the issue of Anastrozole.

See www dot menshormonalhealth.com slash testosterone-therapy.html (sorry, I'm not yet allowed to post links). I doubt it was the "sensitive" test. Sounds like Ineed a re-test. Thanks!

I have no idea which E2 test was used. What I've read is that optimal E2 is between 21.80 pg/ml and > 30.11 pg/ml (based on a study: Circulating estradiol and mortality in men with systolic chronic heart failure. JAMA 2009 May 13;301(18):1892-901.)

The title says it: does anyone have a recommendation for a good doctor for TRT in Portland, Oregon?

Hi, This site is a little overwhelming. The information I need may be here somewhere, but let give my personal situation: I am 62. I started having fatigue symptoms and was starting to get high anxiety. Went to the doc and he looked at a variety of factors. In the end, he said I had low T...
