When I was on Clomid only, I found that 12.5 every other day worked the best. It is easy to add more if you need to, but I also found that to reduce the dose, I had to do a washout (stop completely for 3 weeks or so) and start again, so I would start on the low end and see how you do. Some...
Where is there any remotely objective data on this? AFAIK Dr. Mark Gordon has as many people on clomid on as any clinician, so it would be interesting to know if he has weighed in on this. Forums have valuable information but a lot of selection bias.
In general, I really like the idea of crowd-funding the testing of things like HCG, and I would add in some of the other commonly used products like cialis and ivermectin.
Also, I think there is a moral and practical reason to direct purchases to non-mainstream pharma sources whenever possible...
It sounds like you are a good candidate for getting a workup from a good holistic/integrative doc if you can find one. Your issues could be due to some sort of infection, a nutrient issue, a diet issue, or some other issue (like poor sleep) which Testosterone cannot override. T levels could be...
Do you supplement potassium? In the rare cases when my BP has crept up, that seems to help. I also get plenty of salt, but potassium seems to be the key variable for me (along with a combination of HIIT and longer cardio sessions.)
Are you sure this is true? Andriol has been available outside the US for a long time and it is absorbed thru the lymphatic system. I don't remember it being 17AA or liver toxic. I thought it was the US that was finally catching up. Andriol never really caught on due to how fast it cleared the...
Regarding Clomid dosage, I would go by how you feel and perfrom, not necessarily by total T since Clomid can affect other things and more T may not neccessarily be better if it takes a counterproductive clomid dose to get it. Regarding DHEA I use 25mg per day although some other people use more...
I'm just seeing this, so new to the thread. For what it's worth, when I was on clomid only I did 12mg every other day and had decent results. 25mg every day seems like a fairly high dose. That said, when I was experimenting and lowered my dose, I found that I had to do a several week period of...
Many people in the anti-aging world have heard of the experiments done by the team of Mike and Irina Conboy which involved putting the blood from young mice into old mice and vice versa. In summary it showed that the old mice showed signs of getting younger and the young mice showed signs of...
I actually heard that from other people so I don't know what his view is. I think from a post of his several weeks ago that he looks at a variety of things including other related minerals such as copper and manganese, but it's certainly not to rely on ferritin. But the bottom line is that is...
While I agree that your doc may be a bit over-aggressive on Hematocrit, Iron overload is certainly not something you want and my understanding is that TIBC is one of the best measures of that. Donating blood is one of the only ways (for men) to get iron out of the cells. You may have some sort...
search for the thread "infrequent dosing to avoid shutdown". Short answer is 1) use the term suppression , not shutdown 2) some oral protocols in combination with a SERM appear to minimize suppression 3) Test E is is likely not a good choice for this purpose 4) use of a SERM like clomid or...
While waiting for your copy of The Clot Thickens to arrive, here is a video summary with the author. He covers a lot in a short time and a lot of it is covered in much more detail in his What Causes Heart Disease blog which the book grew out of, but this will get you started. It also reminded me...
You want to do things that increase insulin sensitivity and avoid things that spike blood sugar (there is a compelling school of thought that extreme spikes in blood sugar may be worse than the average level, as long as the average level is not high.) So specific steps could include:
- eat...
Note that low A1c is only good if fasting insulin is also low, such as 6 or below. Having high insulin to keep blood sugar down only replaces one problem with another (possibly worse) problem.
Perhaps E2 and Nandrolone (for those who tolerate it, maybe boldenone for others) is what Pca patients should really be getting (ignoring Dr. Samuel Denmeade's high testosterone approach.) That might maintain almost everything needed to prevent deprivation issues.
You might try a low dose of zinc for your E2. As someone with low E2, it turns out that a lot of things inhibit aromatase and zinc is one of them. Melatonin may help as well.
There was no discussion in the study about interaction with symptoms. I find it hard to believe that if supplementing thyroid relieved symptoms typical of low thyroid such as lethargy, excess fat, depression, CVD risk etc. that that wouldn't result in longer life, or at least a happier life of...
This is a huge book-length topic but here are a few quick thoughts:
- Read the book Perfect Health Diet (and look a the website for the book as well) and follow the supplement recommendations
- There is another mega-thread here with supplements in general
- At a minimum, I would add glycine to...
Here is a recent post from AMidwesternDoctor on sleep. He doesn't include blood-sugar swings which I think is an underappreciated issue, but a lot of good info here...
It seems to for me, but I think it will differ by person since some people react negatively to it. You will likely have to give it a try and see how you react. I would start at a low dose like 12mg every other day of 25 mg twice per week.
