Nelson, I am looking into the issue of TRT related erythrocytosis. It has been 8 years since this post. I am wondering if you know if there has been any new research on this matter? And/or if you have changed your views on the need for donating to keep hematocrit below 52%? Respectfully, the...

I just noticed that the transciber for this talk, be it human or machine, used the word "lobotomize" instead of "phlebotomize." I thought that was a bit funny. That aside, although this post is over 8 years old, it is quite helpful for me as I delve into the controversy of what to do about TRT...

The focus of the discussion has been on treatment, which is indicated. But I am also concerned with the cause of your hypogonadism. Your low FSH and LH indicate secondary hypogonadism. Medications do not seem to be a factor. Prolactin is a bit high. Has an MRI of the pituitary been considered?

So... this total testosterone level of yours. When was it tested relative to one of your twice weekly dosings? Right before one of your injections? At a trough?

Amazon flip floped and now it is back OFF their shelves....

And I see that in fact Amazon has gone back into the NAC business: https://www.amazon.com/Now-Food-Acetyl-cysteine-1000/dp/B0B4BB8NJ9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=12HHZBLO0ZR9H&keywords=NAC&qid=1655611649&sprefix=nac%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-3

The FDA didn't pressure Amazon. The FDA issued a general warning letter a year or two ago, not to any company specifically, saying that NAC couldn't be marketed as a dietary supplement. Amazon decided to stop selling it. Most other retailers continued to sell it. Recently the FDA has backed off...

Some compounding pharmacies are still making it. Certain providers such as "Matrix" and "Elevate" have access to these compounders' HCG. Providers who cant get HCG are lying to their clients and are trying to sell kisspenptin and some other stuff. The FDA is cracking down on compounded HCG...

NAC hasn't been banned from Amazon... Amazon decided to stop selling it.

NAC is not banned. You can get some today at Walmart.

They havent banned compounded HCG.

Nelson, Thank you for sharing your personal details and for all you do for us! A few questions if I may: -Do you still combine HCG and testosterone in the same syringe? -You are quite familiar with laboratory work I hear ;-) Were your values above obtained at the trough? Thanks!

JRos895- Thanks for the thoughtful and convincing analysis. The brand of HCG I use, "Ovidac," does not seem to lack for potency. On a related note.. something I've been trying to encourage discussion of...is this old study that shows that IM HCG leads to higher HCG levels than does SubQ HCG at...

I meant to write "one group was YOUNGER" Paper attached.
