The study above though is relating to people on trt - a reduction in LDL levels in those on trt only with higher vit d levels was one finding

https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/17/6/1013 Conclusions: The study results suggest that the cardiometabolic effects of exogenous testosterone in men with testosterone deficiency may be determined by vitamin D status.

Totally agree with you about serotonin. Years ago, my gp at the time prescribed me an ssri (paroxetine) when i said i was having trouble sleeping due to stress. "You'll feel great too" he told me..... Second worse med i've ever taken (i binned them after a few weeks) - only one worse than that...

Just realised the email info also opens up on the web - https://chrismasterjohnphd.substack.com/p/methylene-blue-on-the-airplane?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=752142&post_id=161243673&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=1d69zf&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

What a coincidence - i was reading this thread earlier today. @Guided_by_Voices mentioned Chris Masterjohn a couple of posts above, who i follow and get emails from. And just now, he's sent out a really long email all about methylene blue. I can copy/paste it if anyone's interested, it's long...

Blimey, that's a bit scary to be honest. It's great the way it comes back with answers in a conversational way, like chatting to a friend. Just it's one of those friends that aren't as bright as they think!!

I gave chatgpt the link to your site, asked it to read what's there, then give me an easy to understand summary instructing how to raise ferritin on trt. This is what it came back with..... ChatGPT said: Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) can lead to erythrocytosis, a condition...

Thanks for that, some great info there. I actually already do some of it (been a supplement junkie since childhood) - i take around 600mg of magnesium a day (glycinate / malate / citrate combo), currently 10,000iu vit d3, vit k2 (mk7 plus mk4), 200iu mixed tocopherols, cod liver oil for vitA...

I'm actually having to go in tomorrow for a blood test and to have my blood pressure taken. They've been texting me for the past two weeks to book myself in, but because i ignored them, yesterdays text said they couldn't issue my next prescription until i've had it done (i'm on ramipril for...

No idea tbh, i don't think i'd take dietary advice from any of the doctors from my gp surgery though. For starters, most of them are obese. Recently, after trying to peddle their statins on me due to slightly elevated cholesterol (i refused them), i was asked about my diet. I mentioned i eat...

Having just read through (most of) this, i thought i'd ask chatgpt about ferritin levels and thyroid. Gotta say, it's good fun using AI, (although i do know the answers to questions aren't always right). You said: Do ferritin levels affect thyroid? ChatGPT said: Yes, ferritin levels can affect...

Any updates on this yet?

I've vaped a small amount of weed (indica dominant) before bed for a few years now. Great sleep aid in my opinion, as long as i don't have too much. In the past i've used ghb for the same reason, but that's not an option anymore unfortunately.
