I say go for it! I have done occlusion training using rubber tubing in the past. I'm doubting few will be motivated enough to do it, along with making sure do do it right (done incorrectly, it can be dangerous), high AC may not have the same effects on skin temps as that Vasper, etc, but there's...

Vasper is an exercise machine that employs several approaches that have shown promise in studies for improving performance, health, body composition, strength, and recuperation. Those are compression/occlusion, cooling, and intervals. All three of those modalities have shown beneficial effects...

Medical M vs Alcohol: An interesting finding: MM appears to lower intake of alcohol: https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomaspellechia/2018/01/22/alcohol-sales-dropped-15-percent-in-states-with-medical-marijuana-laws/amp/

That's the operative term. Most seek out a doc due to symptoms, so minus symptoms or other related derangements that might benefit from high TSH (and lower t4/t3?), there's no automatic reason to add thyroid per se. I have also seen people with low T, but not symptomatic, so it's a choice vs a...

SSRI's are well known for that effect. Being able to get and keep an erection, but unable to finish is common with SSRIs and likely the cause in your case from what I see.

Medical Marijuana vs Opioids Another study finds Medical Marijuana Reduces Opioid Prescriptions: "In this study, we found that statewide medical cannabis legalization implemented in 1993 - 2014 in the US was associated with close to 30% reductions in Schedule III opioids received by...

Sadly, tricky for most.

Without all your other numbers hard to say, but at 4.5 I'd be concerned, and any one who will not treat until TSH hits 10, has no business treating other human beings at all. The Endocrine Society for example revised its TSH recs and above 2.5 as possible sub clinical hypothyroidism and none of...

Man I hope so...

Your T number is not what indicated primary, but your LH. I'd find a competent doc, get more tests done, decided what to do then. Much of it simply depends on how you feel, and what you want.

Why those ratios? P should be higher and F should be lower. Your choices of foods are awful. I can't figure just what you're trying to achieve here, but if it's good health and optimal hormone levels and such, you're really on the wrong track. A high fat/high carb, low P diet is literally the...

I don't see that many labs offering that test. No doubt will increase now that it's importance is gets better known. There does appear to be some debate as to the value of of testing 1,25-Dihydroxy as an indicator of D status in healthy people however: "Many practitioners become confused when...

A good point. It's difficult to get people to just test 25OHD, but that's a good idea for people looking to further dial in, get more info, on their overall D status. I have not had a Vitamin D, 1,25-Dihydroxy level done myself. I should do that myself some time.

A generally good article, but I really question statements like "If you're fair skinned, experts say going outside for 10 minutes in the midday sun—in shorts and a tank top with no sunscreen—will give you enough radiation to produce about 10,000 international units of the vitamin." It's...

I'd stick to Jarrow, Life Extension, and for more sports nutri oriented stuff, Nutra Bio. With those three, you're covered. There's other quality companies to be sure, but those I can personally vouch for knowing the companies and their owners, etc as I do.

Varies state to state, ranging from minimal to stringent. It's fairly stringent in FL. Person has to be diagnosed by a separate doc for an approved condition (list above), then doc licensed for MM goes through the process which is a PITA. For the most part, I suspect effective from separating...

That would be the obvious treatment to try. Good luck bro.

A vid on one persons journey finding relief from TN TN is short for Trigeminal Neuralgia. TN is very painful and often difficult to treat. This is N = 1 subjective to be sure, but very compelling and her interviews with the doc at UCLA medical, etc worth watching. A must watch for anyone with...

Done. He's lucky I'm not a mod or he'd be done here.

So you're now lying as to what you actually said for all to easily see here, and whining about the mods bullying you. I rest my case. You'll be my first member here added to my blocked list until the mods deal with you appropriately.

Yes they did. Ergo... Like the MM thread, you skimmed without getting the details, gave bad advice, then doubled down on it when called out vs simply admitting what you did. That seems to be your MO here. As Vince recommends, throttle it back as to not add confusion, or take the time to...

Don't rule that fact those can lower T, vs low T being the cause. You mention mil, but no details. What's the stress levels like? Nutrition? exercise? Etc. None of your labs look terrible, and some additional labs may offer a more complete picture. Do not underestimate the impact of stress...

There's nothing about his blood work that indicates that approach has been metabolically beneficial. I'm confused how he, or anyone, would be using the blood as support for that nutritional approach. I have seen far worse yes, but if i saw blood work like that and didn't know what they were...

Makes sense seniors on various meds to control pain would find benefit in MM: THURSDAY, July 5, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- Seniors are giving rave reviews for medical marijuana. In a new survey, those who turned to it for treating chronic pain reported it reduced pain and decreased the need for...

XXX NEWS: Which is good and bad in my view. Good News: We are now seeing XXX based medications coming out and FDA approved to treat serious illness, thus further confirming that CBDs can have real therapeutic value in some conditions Bad news: that will also be used to attempt to remove XXX...

Wanna be in a study? This is the type of data we need more of, and you can be in it if you match the inclusion criteria. The gubment posts upcoming studies, and outlines what the inclusion criteria is at the bottom of the page. Working title for this study is "Safety and Efficacy of Medical...

Oh, it's worse then that, while pharma gives more $ than anyone to anti drug programs and politicians, they have been quietly researching the benefits of MM and filing patents. Good news, a phase 2 clinical just done finding stat sig benefits in brain cancer. Bad news, same company already...

I moved from MA just as all that was happening. My understanding is very few medical dispensaries were opened and that's been a major issue for those in MA with a MM card. Is that still the case? If not for the cost of living, the weather, the taxes, the gun laws, the traffic, the M*******s, and...

A needed fed schedule change goes without saying. States have decided to push the issue on their own being tired of the illogical and profit motivated schedule I for marijuana. The catch 22 is most docs (and rightly so) ask for for data to recommend it, but little research gets done due to the...

In FL they are quite strict about that. Maybe it will loosen up over time, I don't know. May not be a benefit to people to loosen up if attempting to treat serious conditions. People with PTSD need to be careful as it can make it worse in some, so the low THC option best in many cases no doubt...
