    Can Testosterone Induce Blood Clots and Thrombosis? Interview with Dr Charles Glueck

    I started using it to help with venous insufficiency which was most likely caused by the clots I suffered from back in 2012. I did my own research. Don't know if it's helping or not. I also use the fibrin enzymes (nattokinase, lumbrokinase, serrapeptase, etc.). Thus far, there is no solid...

    Can Testosterone Induce Blood Clots and Thrombosis? Interview with Dr Charles Glueck

    This is the one I use. Probably more more effective than regular rutin: https://www.pureformulas.com/betarutin-60-capsules-by-ecological-formulas.html

    A neurostimulator may be the answer to people with sleep apnea who hate CPAP machines

    To be honest, I haven't even been using mine lately. Since my apnea is mild, I try sleeping on m,y seises for now. I also need to have nasal surgery to correct a deviated septum which won't sure apnea, but will help with overall breathing, but have had to put that off due to other health issues...

    My treatment for anxiety and poor sleep

    Jasen - I plan on using both the CALM and Tri-Amino to help manage both anxiety and hypertension as an alternative to meds. I have taken these substances orally, but, as you say, to get any effect, they have to be taken in such high doses, some of them can produce unpleasant sides effects...

    Suspect exogenous T3 elevating SHBG and its effects on me

    I should mention that what I posted on above in this thread was prior to having parathyroid surgery to remove benign parathyroid adenoma, so all bets off now, as I am in a hyperthyroid state. This can happen as a result of the surgery from manipulation of the thyroid...

    Suspect exogenous T3 elevating SHBG and its effects on me

    Here's the dilemma: - I need at least 20mcg + 3 grains dess. thyroid (which provides another approx. 27mcg T3) in order to get T3 in the upper range close to 4. If I cut the T3 dose down too low, my level will drop. - Cort levels are adequate from last 4 x's saliva as are iron and ferritin. - I...

    Suspect exogenous T3 elevating SHBG and its effects on me

    Yep. Nothing. I take custom compounded porcine thyroid 3 grains + 30mcg T3 (10mcg 3 x's/day).

    Suspect exogenous T3 elevating SHBG and its effects on me

    Re-evaluating to move forward with TRT yet again (for those that are new or forgot, I have a clotting disorder of unknown origin, so I've held off on TRT because of the recent studies showing it can induce clots in prone individuals). Last labs showed Total T @ 610, not bad for my natural...

    Maximilian Gotzler: A Testosterone and Diet Experiment

    http://vimeo.com/97650724 Max Gotzler wasn’t feeling his best during a long German winter. He decided to visit his physician to see if anything might be going on. This included various blood and micronutrient tests. When he received his results he noticed that his testosterone levels were on the...

    Testofen as an alternative to straight testosterone

    Anyone try Tetsofen and gotten good results? http://www.gencorpacific.com/index.php/featured-ingredients/testofen I am trialing it since, for now, straight T is contraindicated in me due to my history of thrombophilia (blood clots). I have been on it for 2 mos. and have noticed a tiny increase...

    Can Testosterone Induce Blood Clots and Thrombosis? Interview with Dr Charles Glueck

    Here are the main takeaways I gleaned from Glueck's emails: 1. On the basis of our published data, when a patient has a major gene familial thrombophilia like V Leiden or Prothrombin gene heterozygosity, or familial high Factors VIII or XI, or acquired thrombophilia (lupus anticoagulant, anti...

    Can Testosterone Induce Blood Clots and Thrombosis? Interview with Dr Charles Glueck

    As for E2 management, the problem is that, according to Glueck, all of the prescription AIs are as thrombogenic as exo T which on one hand will help control E2 (his warning of >42), but on the other, could also predispose to DVT/PE. The only solution I can think of would be a OTC E2 blocker like...

    Can Testosterone Induce Blood Clots and Thrombosis? Interview with Dr Charles Glueck

    That's good to know. What would be your thoughts or approach as to how TRT could be safely implemented, if at all, in one that is clearly hypogonadal and could benefit but has a history of thrombosis and likely familial thrombophilia? I know of two guys, one with Factor V Leiden and a...

    Can Testosterone Induce Blood Clots and Thrombosis? Interview with Dr Charles Glueck

    This is a tough call, IMO. Even the though the risk is minute, it's still a risk and I think should be ruled out before just jumping on TRT and finding out after the fact when it may be too late.

    Can Testosterone Induce Blood Clots and Thrombosis? Interview with Dr Charles Glueck

    Thanks for the update, Nelson. Through my exhaustive testing, I have determined I have familial high Factor VIII which predisposes me to clots regardless of T or not. It seems even clearer now that the blame for thrombotic events for those with acquired or genetic thrombophilia can be put...

    Lipitor?

    Great post, Don. Couldn't agree with you more about diagnostic testing. Out of curiosity, what's your age and your first and latest calcium score? I finally had my CCTA done a month back which is more extensive than just a CAC scan. 100% perfect. 0 calcium score. Not bad for 54 years...

    Can Testosterone Induce Blood Clots and Thrombosis? Interview with Dr Charles Glueck

    Good points, although in my case, my clots are idiopathic (unknown cause at this point) which means they could be either familial or acquired. Although my last total T is low normal (mid 400s), my free T (the one that matters) is in the dumps @ 5.3 (ref rand 7.2-46.0ng/dL). I have a scrip...

    We have not been able to determine an exact cause of the clots in either case, although I do show +/+ (homozygous) for the MTHFR C667T gene mutation, but homocysteine was normal (7.0), and am +/- (heterozygous) for PAI-1 gene mutation. All of the other genetic tests known to cause thrombosis...

    Can Testosterone Induce Blood Clots and Thrombosis? Interview with Dr Charles Glueck

    It's one thing to read it and be concerned; it's another to read advice directed specifically at you: "Exogenous testosterone would be, to my assessment, absolutely contraindicated in you, given your history, without or without concomitant anticoagulation." All my hopes of any progress...
