    Immunodeficient / Looking for Guidance Starting Peptides & Other Injectables

    A few ideas. Regarding recovery from illness, I would start with micro-nutrients. Do you ramp up you vitamin C intake whenever you feel an illness coming on? By ramp-up I mean go from maybe a gram per day to 5-10 grams per day? And add-in liposomal C? In addition, Vitamin D blood levels over 50...

    0.25mg oral Finasteride daily - risk of Post-Finasteride Syndrome?

    I have recently started using red light therapy for joint issues and in reading about it, it seems to have a pro-hair affect as well. I use the $90 face mask sold on amazon but it is a flexible mat that you can form to use almost anywhere including the top of your head. Also, there have been a...

    Does arthritic elbow mean I can't lift weights?

    I've had tons of joint issues, they come with lifting and living, but thankfully they've all pretty much resolved and I'm lifting as much as ever for the most part. Look through the tread "Fixes for Joint Issues." A few highlights and things I need to go back and add to the other thread: - DMSO...

    Latest developments in Parkinson's disease biomarkers

    Vitamin D is apparently helpful for PD, as with so many other things https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2025/05/26/vitamin-d-and-parkinsons-disease.aspx Also, I heard an interview with Dr. Bredesen where he said his dementia reversal protocol was showing benefit for...

    This is an essential point and one that doesn't get nearly enough emphasis. I'm so used to doing this that I completely missed it but thanks to Phil for bringing it up

    About to Start a New Protocol

    Your plan and reasoning seems sound. An observation however...It sounds like you need to develop the ability to act independently from your Doctor, both for practical reasons (most of us have had to make dozens of tweaks to get to where we are in a good spot which would have been frustrating and...

    Starting TRT Soon

    I've had a higher RHR for a while and I can't pinpoint why but I remember it being lower pre-TRT (that was eight years ago) so it's an ongoing mystery for me.

    Updated Labs - Help Please

    For joint/injury issues, my main go-to is DMSO, but recently I added Boswellia extract, curcumin, and red light, all of which seem to help. I've kept my T/HCG dose consistent for 8 years or so.

    Updated Labs - Help Please

    I currently do 45mg T-cyp twice per week plus, HCG 200 twice per week, plus a pre-workout micro-dose of Oxandrolone and/or Nandrolone for a total (T pluse Ox/N) of around 180-220 per week. I also use PT-141 200mcg once per week, 7 mg tadalafil daily and BPC 157 from time to time. I also add...

    Updated Labs - Help Please

    Several observations: 2.5 mg per day is a very low dose of Tadalafil. Many of us had the back-pain issues resolve after trying it several times and a dose around 5-7mg per day seems reasonable. Have you triad viagra or levitra? Creaky joints sounds like low estrogen but your early numbers look...

    About to Start a New Protocol

    Independent of who your doctor is, if you're going to raise your dose, do it slowly enough so that you can assess the impact. I agree with dosing twice per week, but if you raise the total, going up by 10mg per month seems like a reasonable progression so that you have a chance to identify a...

    Low Test Levels & Lingering Symptoms at 24 After Teen Cycle —Clomid/Enclomiphene Worth Trying?

    I was only suggesting Enclomiphene as an option for a temporary jumpstart. Some people recover without something like that, but some don't, or take much longer. It seems low risk to try. Sleep issues alone could cause much of your issue. Some people respond well to melatonin. Also, the Sleep...

    HCG to combat testicular atrophy and low libido

    As far as HCG goes, I don't know any reason not to stay on it if it is giving you benefit, assuming you are on a moderate dose. There was a clinic (the one bought by Tony Robbins IIRC) that recommended coming off for a month or two every year because they felt there was a risk of developing an...

    Is DHT suppression that detrimental?

    In my observation of this topic. it is pretty clear that some people really need and benefit from DHT and others that don't seem to have much of a response to it, so I don't think there is one answer to your question. There is also the issue that some people can seem to tolerate low levels for a...

    Low Test Levels & Lingering Symptoms at 24 After Teen Cycle —Clomid/Enclomiphene Worth Trying?

    First, I would say that yes, clomid/enclomiphene at a low dose (e.g. 12mg every other day to start) seems like a low risk thing to try that might help, however equally important is that you are not doing other things that could cause your symptoms. Ultra-low-carb is likely not a great idea in...

    Researchers Reveal the Alarming Long-Term Risks of Steroid Use

    I clicked all the links I saw here and didn't see any actual underlying data on the AAS use and other related markers. For example it would have been nice to know things like how much of the issue was due to uncontrolled blood pressure, what was the comparison of dose/duration to event type and...

    Coming off after 10 years non stop self administered "trt" MISSION IMPOSSIBLE RECOVERY

    And another thing, I hope you meant Clomid OR Nolvadex since AFAIK they would be redundant. Also, I would keep the dose of Clomid fairly low, as in no more than 25 mg three times per week. The dosages recommended in the physique community are IMO crazy-high and many people get nasty sides from...

    Coming off after 10 years non stop self administered "trt" MISSION IMPOSSIBLE RECOVERY

    That sounds like a great start. If you do not eat meat and/or oysters regularly you might supplement with Zinc, however note that it can interfere with aromatase. You may also want to prepare for a period of low libido/EQ by having something in the Viagra family on hand and possibly PT-141...

    Coming off after 10 years non stop self administered "trt" MISSION IMPOSSIBLE RECOVERY

    Good luck to you. If you give us a bit more detail about your recovery protocol, we may be able to suggest some things. You'll want to get your Vitamin D over 50 in a safe way (including K2). Something that I've seen no mention of but which might help is cow testicle capsules. I had always...

    Oxandrolone (Anavar) : The Most Studied Oral Anabolic Agent in Wasting and Catabolic Conditions

    Here is a link for Oxandrolone: Research Trends. Here is another for Oxandrolone however the cited text is behind a paywall that I don’t have access to but the cited text is: y AG Olsson · 1974 · Cited by 33 — The Lp(a) lipoprotein was reduced 65 ± 23% by the steroid treatment (off...

    Oxandrolone (Anavar) : The Most Studied Oral Anabolic Agent in Wasting and Catabolic Conditions

    According to Perplexity, Oxandrolone significantly reduces Lp(a) which makes it one of the very few compounds to do this. It can reduce it by around 65%, which is more than twice what niacin or nandrolone will accomplish. It also seems to have a longer lasting impact after the drug is...

    Maximus: Oral TRT+ (native T + enclomiphene + pregnenolone)

    Starting TRT Soon

    While I agree that very low carb is often a problem in the long run, that does not mean that high carb is desirable. Moderate carbs in the 100-300 range is likely going to be best for most fairly healthy people most of the time, as is well-explained in The Perfect Health Diet. Further, ultra-low...

    Concerned about hair loss: TRT + deca vs TRT alone vs deca alone

    Several ideas you may also want to consider: - Something in the Growth Hormone family such as a GH secretagogue or GH itself - GHRP-6 is a secretagogue that is well-known to produce hunger, so if your issue is eating enough, you may well be a good candidate for that. It was never approved for...

    22 yr Old Low E2, 0 Libido

    Are you eating a balanced diet with plenty of quality calories, especially animal products?

Did your decline coincide with a change of environment that could have exposed you...

    No. Stop with the unjustified certainty. There could be many things involved and we have no idea if iron was even measured correctly, especially since it is a very ambiguous topic.

    HCG to combat testicular atrophy and low libido

    Regarding DHEA, I seem to do bit better on 50mgs, but everyone has responses that are unique to them so experimentation is the only way to find out. There really is no "correct" dose. More generally, libido is a massive and challenging topic which there are many threads here about. I and others...

    KYZATREX (oral testosterone undecanoate) Updates

    Yes, in that case neither clomid nor enclomiphene would likely help much. Whether they would help maintain your LH in the presence of something like oxandrolone would be matter of experimentation, but you could start without them and see.

    KYZATREX (oral testosterone undecanoate) Updates

    Two things. It sounds like you are generally in a good place so I wouldn't do anything that could make things worse. Several things to consider.. - Working out harder can often lead to overtraining which will make you go backward - Something that has worked very well for me is adding low rep...
