The info you shared was your Total T level, but nothing about your weight, height, general health. If you eat crap and are over weight, getting that under control with gym visits could possibly correct the underlying issue. Or, maybe you have thyroid issues? Do you work shift work? Get good...

I went 100% gluten free for about 5 years for my RA, worked and I was able to resume a regular diet without any new RA flares. I did reintroduce some grains, for bread I occasionally eat sour dough bread, the only issue I found is not all sour dough bread is equal, many brands add yeast to the...

I wondered if you had a similar reason for seeing your LDL drop as I did. It appears so, my FreeT3 was a little low(3, range 2.4-4.4), and TSH elevated,(1.95) so my PCP increased my Naturthoid(NP) from 60mg to 90mg. My thyroid issues seemed to resolve, but my Total Cholesterol went from 200 (+/-...

The reason for a small amount of air is to prevent(or reduce) the amount of medication from leaking out of the tract that is created with the syringe. (Obviously, the larger the bore/gauge needle, the more med that can leak out. Read or watch a video on Z Tracking also) On a similar note, I...

Before you consider an actual prescription med like Metformin, let me make 2 suggestions. Cinnamon is great for reducing blood sugar, unfortunately, it is not like many other spices, and there is a limit on foods to use it with. Oatmeal is an excellent breakfast choice for sugar and cholesterol...

Yes to lard & bacon (which is , or should be, one of the food groups), I don't think supplements are actually considered part of a diet. Hence the word : supplement.

Simpler answer, don't eat anything your great grandmother would not recognize.

As things have evolved with the dispensaries over the past few years, i have benefited. Once every 6 months I drive 30 minutes to the closest dispensary, and buy 6 vials of tincture, with my vets discount, I spend about $250 - $300 every 6 months. Even better, time I went to buy, they offered...

I am doing the teaching for my Rheumatologist on Medical Marijuana use, she works for a group affiliated with Harvard, (as did I in the research side) and Harvard MDs are not allowed to discuss MMJ with patients or attend inservices. She had no idea, prior to my discussing it with her that...

Here in Massachusetts, there are 9 medical reasons for a medical marijuana card. I have to see a special MD once a year to renew my card, I fit into 2 categories with my RA and chronic pain. There was an article in a Boston paper that mentioned that only 9% of those with a MMJ card received it...

I've had a Medical marijuana Card in my state for a few years, it was given related to my Rheumatoid Arthritis. I buy a strong *** strain with a lesser amount of THC, I purchase it as a tincture, and use it one hour prior to sleep. For sleep it has helped, but even more important, prior to MMJ...

I was only able to buy two boxes, either they are out, or limit sales.

Over the past year, I have stopped watching TV and have been reading quite a bit more, mostly online. Two sites that I enjoy, and have a fairly large amount of amateur fiction are Literotica https://www.literotica.com/stories/index.php and the other is stories online...

You are correct on contamination, and also about splitting the powder in half. The issue becomes more complicated when you want another, smaller dose. Dilution makes any dosage available, from as low as 1mg to 95mg. I buy my tabs as 50mg, but take 4.5mg daily, can't do that without a compounding...

I suggested this method because I have been using it for several years. I take LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) an immuno modulator, basically it improves the immune system.(I have RA) I mix one 50mg tab (not powder from a cap) in 500ml of water, and then I take 45ml = 4.5mg every night. The tabs...

Instead of eating the powder directly from a capsule, you could dilute it instead. I would suggest taking 5 caps (that would be 500mg) and mix it into a half liter water bottle. That would give you a dilution rate of 1ml = 1mg. Shake the bottle for 10 sec + prior to pouring. If you want to start...

I am an exception to the rule, since I am known to many of the lab tech's in my area. I use Discounted labs myself, and there is an MD name on it from Florida. A lab tech was drawing me, and said. "This is your winter MD?", she knows I am retired now, and just assumed that to be the case. I...

2 things, don't play with toys that constrict the blood to your penis. The "Pimple" might be a vein that has popped up, not much different than varicose veins, there is a diagram on Google if you look up "varicose veins"

He is a riot, I laughed out loud at his video, "If meat eaters acted like vegans".

When you are choosing a wheat variety, review the benefits of Sorghum and DHT levels. http://www.peaktestosterone.com/forum/index.php?topic=6079.0 or https://www.naturalnews.com/050293_DHT_levels_testosterone_mens_health.html I mix 1/2 sorghum with my gluten free pancake mix. Yeah, sorghum is...

Hopefully from the mention of those of us using tinctures,MMJ does not have to be smoked. Or using vapes, edibles are OK, but create a safety issue if there are any kids around.

I am not saying THC is good for you, or bad, for me,it is helpful with a stronger *** strain to decrease my (RA) inflammation. The lab test for measuring inflammation used to be Sed rate,is now CRP (C Reactive Protein) is the preferred lab test. I read several studies (most are from Israel, they...

I believe there are a fair amount of health benefits from many spices, herbs and supplements, stating this, I also see (and have personally benefited from) the pro-health uses of medical marijuana (MMJ). Unfortunately, speaking with an MD is most definitely the same as talking T & E2 with your...

Well, the 85 to 4.8 level was reached with Chemo drugs for my RA. My rheumatologist was hoping for it to go lower with the serious drugs. It dropped from 4.8 to 4.3 after 4 -5 months of a *** strain, however that level in March is now down to 0.2, now that drop I am happier with. I also use...

By coincidence, I got some labs back yesterday evening, and this thread came back up at same time. I don't know how long an accumulative effect takes for med marijuana, but my past CRP was 4.3, and 4.8 (a year ago about 85), so I was thrilled to see my latest CRP at 0.2. I also use fish oil, and...

My career centered on treating many people who overdid alcohol, drugs and tobacco. (and I saw the effect it did on their lives and health) However, after reading about the benefits of medical marijuana, I decided to experiment with this. It has been almost a year since I started, and my...

I was wondering what your real question is. In years of teaching patients how to self administer injections and IVs, I've learned that a fear of air is #1. This fear is because of TV murder mysteries. On every show, especially in a hospital, the camera lingers on an air bubble traveling down the...

I have read how some men (using T cream to scrotum) require only 1 /wk dosing and there was mention of one man who used every 2 weeks. Of course, this is with there regular SQ/IM injections of Test. How long should I wait then before testing? I mentioned I have taken 2 doses so far, and haven't...

Actually my total t level is down from its usual 1000 to 850 when I dropped T cyp from 100mg/wk to 90mg/wk. I have a low SHBG (around 15) so my free T was always about 25-50% higher than the top of range.

There is quite a bit of info available here and elsewhere on how long it takes for Testosterone to increase blood levels, but not so much for DHT. My current therapy is 30mg of T cyp 3/wk, 20Iu of HCG 3/wk, and a few drops of Arimidex (40 drops = 1 mg) a week. My DHT level was 17 last month...

I have been using a *** leaning medical marijuana strain for the past 6 months. I was hoping that my CRP (inflammation levels) would be lower, but recent labs found I was still at 4.3. This is WNL (within normal limits) but no improvement over when I am just taking (only) an immunosuppresants...
