    Stop Using Mouthwash And Dental Hygiene

    It sounds like you are on a good path, although I stopped consistently using the Hydrogen Peroxide rinse as it may be excessive. Holding C BD oil in the mouth seems to help me. The trick seems to be finding things that kill the bad bacteria and leave the good bacteria there and Silver...

    I need some serious help with ED

    I've only ever used the injectable. Some people ake their own nose spray but I see no reason since the injectable takes hours to have an affect. There are other things you can try also to boost the effect of PDE5i's such as Nitric Oxide tablets. I use the ones froirm N1o1.

    I need some serious help with ED

    First, I agree with Funk. Chronically high blood sugar will destroy your body and even if something on the ED fronts works, it won't for very long until you get your blood sugar under control which there are many ways to do. Beyond that, DHEA is helpful for some people, and I am a big believer...

    Supraphysiologic testosterone (350 mg weekly)

    I agree with Vince that looking into things like chronic infection or gut micro-biome issues, both of which could cause your symptoms, is a good place to start. The issue with recovering your production is that 1) something that works for most people may not occur for you, and more importantly...

    What would you do? HCT vs. BP

    Also, you need to get a BP measuring device and take multiple readings throughout the day. A single reading, especially in an unfamiliar setting is notoriously unreliable. And step one for blood pressure is to make sure you're getting plenty of potassium.

    Potential Causes of Low Testosterone

    I think most here would agree that there are almost too many issues with your protocol to list. Are you dependent on insurance, and if not, have you considered a Telehealth provider who specializes in Hormones such as Defy? In the meantime, a protocol to consider would be to drop the T to 60mg...

    Has anyone had any really bad sides with PT-141?

    How much did you use? More than 300mcg is unnecessary and a potential problem IME, however it may just not be for you.

    Vitamin D Status Determines Cardiometabolic Effects of Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Men with Late-Onset Hypogonadism

    Immune function alone suggests everyone should have a vitamin D level over 50, so other benefits are a nice bonus.

    TRT plus Low dose Ligandrol LGD-4033

    The problem I see with the SARM category is that there is not the body of evidence, either from studies, analysis or crowd-sourced reports that exists for other AAS. They certainly have an affect, however their risk/reward profile is not as well understood. Perhaps that will start to change...

    Seven Point Drop in Hematocrit with This Supplement

    I had never heard of this but will try the ingredients before my next blood test since my HCT went up for no apparent reason. Lumbrokinase is supposedly much stronger than Nattokinase so I will try that as well. Interestingly (to me) according to Dr. Kendrick ( in his book The Clot Thickens) ACE...

    HCG to combat testicular atrophy and low libido

    Several ideas...you may want to experiment with DHEA and PT-141 or Melanotan-2 (if you do not get frequent sun exposure) as both of these can enhance libido in some people. Do your research but if you try PT/MT I strongly recommend a starting does of no more than 300 micrograms 3 times per week...

    Clomid

    In my observation, it is sufficiently rare for someone to be well-dialed-in that when you are, changing something major is a horrible idea. It's especially horrible since your body is adjusted to your prior protocol and there is no assurance that if you change and then switch back, that you can...

    Does HCG Cause Alzheimer's Disease?

    Elevated LH could also be a marker for low T, which is a risk factor for Dementia, so it may not be the LH at all.

    Does HCG Cause Alzheimer's Disease?

    Step one for people concerned about dementia is to follow the recommendations in Dr. Bredesen's dementia reversal protocol. Even if a study showed HCG increased risk, if it was done in a population which was trying to give themselves dementia (which is the majority of people in th US) then the...

    A popular hair loss drug and its lesser-known, rare and potentially life-altering side effects

    Antics with semantics in the above... - 4% does not seem "rare" - "Life altering" should be "life destroying" - "persist for years" should likely be "permanent for most of those afflicted with no reliable cure"

    Hesitating on TRT, Does Anyone Have Regrets?

    As @Type_IIx has covered elsewhere and I think Nelson has referenced in regard to Oxandrolone, the difference between AAS compounds is large and supports what @Cataceous is saying, although with less data on the recently introduced forms. For example there was a study that showed Oxandrolone...

    Hesitating on TRT, Does Anyone Have Regrets?

    While I don't regret TRT, if I had it to do over again and in situations like yours, I would take a much more staged and focused approach and try to address your issues with less invasive options to start with. Some thoughts: - Consider starting with a SERM like clomid or enclomiphene at a low...

    Dead lift grip strength

    I use and recommend the basic straps for under $10. With those you still get normal grip involvement. Also, I assume you are using an over/under grip w/o the straps, but using only overhand on your lightest sets can give some additional grip work. Bottom line is that your overall deadlift...

    Dead lift grip strength

    In your situation, there is no shame in using straps for higher rep sets. Even if you can maintain your grip I think straps are desirable because it seems to remove a factor which the body senses to be limiting. Don't use the straps for your lighter sets and also add in some farmers walks, power...

    Salt, Healthy Blood Pressure Levels, and Libido: Highlights from the book The Salt Fix

    Yes, there's a mechanism whereby low salt( likely sodium) triggers a defensive mechanism to retain sodium which has the side effect of raising blood pressure. IIRC it is described in the book.

    Salt, Healthy Blood Pressure Levels, and Libido: Highlights from the book The Salt Fix

    I had never heard of this but it sounds like a classic example of where correcting a deficiency will correct a problem. Many people are likely deficient in something in salt given how demonized it has been, so correcting that will help those people but will not help others who already get plenty...

    Best Medications to improve Ejection Fraction in Testosterone Users?

    To the original question, Meldonium may be an option. I'm not sure TRT at moderate doses is relevant.

    Hgh

    This topic is a priority for me right now since I've had a flare-up of some joint tissues for which I'm thinking Exosomes may the next step, and I would want to be in a state of optimal HGH for them to be most effective. I don't know a precise answer and hopefully @Type_IIx will chime in (whose...

    PT-141 and Trimix?

    There is no magic that makes the prescribed dose a correct dose, especially since correct will change based on circumstances. That is what the wisdom of crowds and the forums like this are for. For example, if the prescribed dose is based on "hard cases" and you are not one of those, then it...

    secret of ‘Blue Zones’ Fake data,

    As far as I know. The semi-recent interview with Dave Asprey he did is loaded with great tidbits of info (like bovine testicle powder being a signaling molecule, and why APOB is not necessarily bad) test, and he goes through the issues he had when he was pure carnivore. He's way ahead of most 46...

    PT-141 and Trimix?

    IME either of these dosages is way too high to start with, ESPECIALLY for someone also using Trimix where the result could be dangerous. As with anything else it may work for some people and higher doses may be required for "hard cases", however there is no reason to start this high and the bad...

    PT-141 and Trimix?

    What I have found effective and what I believe Dr. Hertoghe suggests is 100-300mcg (micrograms, or 1/10 to 1/3 of a milligram ) to start with. You can always increase but higher doses seem to create exactly the problem that was reported earlier in this thread...too much in the short run followed...

    PT-141 and Trimix?

    As has been pointed out in other threads and in my experience, you took a dose of PT-141 that is far too high to start with, so I don't think it's valid to discourage people from trying a reasonable dose (e.g. 100-300mcg) if it's something they might benefit from.

    TC dosing after 60

    64, on TRT for around 8 years, 90mg T per week plus occasional other things for specific purposes (e.g. pt-141, nandrolone). While I am subject to the increased susceptibility to injury that is generally reported to occur between age 50-65, I've seen nothing magic about any specific age number.

    TRT in men in their Nineties

    Another factor here is that being dialed in is sufficiently rare that changing anything, especially in pursuit of a theoretical but unknown "improvement" seems very risky. It assumes you can always get back to where you were before and although that is likely true from a numbers perspective, it...
