The science behind testosterone and COVID-19 May 28, 2020 A new study led by David Goldstein, PhD, director of the Institute for Genomic Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and Xinchen Wang, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher at the institute, informed the idea to treat COVID-19...

None of the test you mentioned are likely to be connected to the high CRP. PSA, LDL,liver enzymes, cancer, infection, inflammatory bowel disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis amongst many others are possible sources of the high CRP. I would assume you already tested PSA, LDL, liver enzymes, is...

Speaking of zero logic, why are protests OK but outdoor concerts a big concern? It's going to be very interesting to see how big a bump we get in 2 weeks. I have no expectation of what the protests are going to mean to future covid- infections, it will be nice if it isn't a big deal.

With covid, the drug was meant to be taken prophylactically by healthy people help prevent or reduce symptoms. Big difference between that and the small number of people who take if for things like lupus/malaria. Taking it for covid would have meant 10s of millions of people taking it if it...

I was trying to make sense of the post. It's poor writing. I "assume" he meant if you are a mother with a new baby and high often, your baby will have developmental issues, and if you are old and high it makes you dizzy, you might fall down and break something. Also, IMO, weird he posted some...

Here is something interesting and seldom talked about having a medical cannabis card. You can't own or buy a gun if you have a medical cannabis card. Since a MMJ card is federally registered in a government database. I doubt any police are going to search your house, but you won't be able to...

Before restating TRT I had tried boron, it seemed to have an effect on FT, E2 and SHBG. Not exactly sure how much I was taking as I mixed up some borax to create a diluted solution of boron, about 7-10 mg. SHBG went down to 35.9 (down from 42.2) which is the lowest it's ever been measured...

Doesn't that hurt?

Party? Freudian slip? :) My brother lived years in Alaska, they only have 10 deaths from Covid. I stayed in Alaska a month with my brother. Talking to locals, they get upset about over crowding when people move in 10 miles away. Gas stations are at least 100 miles apart. Social...

Clearly you haven't been here during the estrogen wars.

The good news about the economic damage. Hertz has to sell it's fleet of C8 Corvettes at 650 hp, AND .. Hertz Is Ready to Sell You Some 750-HP Camaro ZL1 Coupes https://www.autoweek.com/news/sports-cars/a32614189/hertz-selling-chevy-camaro-zl1-coupes/ Not sure where I am going to drive those...

It may not be related, but recently I tried to order testosterone undecanoate from a pharmacy in India. They said no orders till maybe June 2nd because of the lock down in India. So it wasn't demand, it was lack of supply and where it was produced.

There is some truth that drug companies are more interested in life time treatment of a disease vs cure. Not much money in either a cure or a vaccine. I put most of my energy into staying healthy and avoiding the US healthcare system, which IMO is screwed up unless you are as rich as *****...

Fox is the biggest media channel on cable TV, and ***** is a rich guy trying to stay president. Remdesivir is $$$ but not all that effective, I wouldn't bother with it.

Did you ever get a test? Now you can self order the Abbott SARS-CoV-2 IgG assay from labcorp, Quest also has a self order portal. With the labcorp test, it's $10 with or without insurance. If you get a doctors order you can save the $10.00. Fast turnaround of results, less than 24 hours with...

The world needs Covid-19 vaccines. It may also be overestimating their power. By HELEN BRANSWELL @HelenBranswellMAY 22, 2020 With a little luck and a lot of science, the world might in the not-too-distant future get vaccines against Covid-19. But those vaccines won’t necessarily prevent all...

I strongly believe there will be an effective vaccine, covid so far has not mutated a lot which is also a plus. I can't hold my breath for much longer than 3 minutes, I am thinking at best a vaccine is late this year early next year, but how many doses will be available? However, how long...

Fortunately I have a lifetime membership with a fixed rate of $50 per year. I got this in 1976. Even when the last two clubs declared bankruptcy, the club and membership lists were purchased by other national chains and I was grandfather into the new club.

:):) I was speculating that if they come out with a vaccine, should I wait for a time to see if there are many "adverse reactions", (like maybe growing a third eye or maybe your dick shrinks :) ?). It concerns me that there is such a rush to get a vaccine they won't do a long safety study and...

So your theory is the WH staff can keep a secret?

Amusing that some say the government is ignoring risk to jazz the economy, while others are saying the gov is over reacting and now we need to get back to normal. But that's normal life. To me, it's obvious the gym is higher risk than grocery stores. 1) When we work out, we exert ourselves as...

About the flu vaccine, there are actually 131 different viruses that are Influenza A. then there is Influenza B. It's really quite complicated. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/viruses/types.htm Plus, the flu shot only gives you immunity for at most 6 months, immunity fades away. Plus, only 45%...

I really miss the gym most of all. Normally, I shave and shower after a workout, I seldom shower at home, so now people note I have a beard, and it's a very gray beard and gets ichy after a while. I have been doing cardio, riding a bike or walk/run 3-5 miles, there is a park with a 9 mile...

I give it 50/50 ***** is telling the truth about taking hydroxychloroquine, no doubt he is scared and for sure no one, including white house drs are going to be able to tell him what he should or should not do. Maybe he is taking it, maybe not, it doesn't really matter. He and everyone around...

For me, it's about common sense. A virus that has caused trillions of dollar of economic damage, world wide semi-panic, every biotech in the world trying to find remedies, every health organization in the world trying to help the sick, throwing anything they have in their drug / supplement...

*****'s a morbidly obese old guy on stains with an awful diet who believe exercise is bad for you. No reason I can see to take hjs medical advice.

I read there are 16,000+volunteers to test a vaccine, it's called a challenge vaccine. The nightmare scenario is they rush a vaccine to market, 100 of millions get the vaccine, then a year later we discover it causes some other more serious problem. Its unlikely but possible. This always...

The story I read said she did sue the health department and New York Supreme Court denied her petition. Based on Soper’s sleuthing, the New York City Health Department took Mallon into custody in 1907 and placed her into forced confinement inside a bungalow on 16-acre North Brother Island, off...

In these situations, I wonder what has happened in the past and has our society has changed a lot from the past? I wouldn't underestimate what "can" happen if people get concerned enough. Typhoid Mary aka Mary Mallon. "Based on Soper’s sleuthing, the New York City Health Department took...

Put it down to dark, sardonic humor. people are going to die from this no matter what we do, we can mitigate the death rate, but can't eliminate it. Overpopulation is a driver of many problems, climate change, encroaching on wildlands causing more disease outbreaks, population density...

What if immunity to covid-19 doesn’t last? (Some scientists find the question too dark to contemplate. ) Starting in the fall of 2016 and continuing into 2018, researchers at Columbia University in Manhattan began collecting nasal swabs from 191 children, teachers, and emergency workers...
