Nelson, "TRIMIX (10 micrograms of alprostadil, 500 micrograms of phentolamine and 15 mg of papaverine) , 5 mls, as directed. Make sure you ask for insulin syringes (30 gauge, 1 inch needles), and alcohol swabs with your order." Is there such a thing as a 30 gauge, 1" needle, insulin syringe...

I never mix a water-based drug with an oil-based drug. However, I have never seen any evidence that would point to any specific negative consequences to mixing them.

Nelson, What a huge difference since if you assumed the non-sensitive test was correct, you'd increase the dosage of an aromatase inhibitor, which in this case would put you in jeopardy of osteoporosis (or other medical conditions, since the estradiol is less than 10 pg/ml) if used long-term.

Gene, I'd love to try Trimix, but I am looking to use pump on the clitoris of a female friend so I need to find a reliable pump. Therefore, any suggestions that anyone may have from personal experience, I'm all ears.

I have looked into various pumps and they consistently get poor ratings from consumers. On the average, even the more expensive pumps (around $100), worked a few times than had continual problems making it a waste of money. I am not referring to professional-grade pumps that run up to several...

Hdrider, I am self-employed as well and pay for my own coverage. First of all, what kind of coverage did you have that it was cancelled every couple of years? I'm glad that Obama's plan is working for you as you are one of the few people I have heard that are saying that. My plan from BCBS (of...

It's laughable to use the world "Affordable," in the same sentence as noting that your deductible has increased $4,000/year.

Free samples, in effect, can influence how doctors prescribe as well. However, I don't think it will show up as a cash payment.

How did big Pharma spin the new evidence that statins are over-prescribed? *Cardiologists on Big Pharma kickbacks release new statin drug guidelines in effort to double prescriptions. Apparently, when in doubt, double-up the prescriptions...

"A systematic review of dietary protein during caloric restriction in resistance-trained lean athlete's: A case for higher intakes." The review indicated that during caloric restriction (when an athlete attempts to lose body-fat), there is an increased need for protein to maintain fat-free mass...

Don, If you copied down the prescription exactly, it appears that there is a mistake. If they prescribed you 2000units/week, that would require you to need (7) 3ml syringes per/week (not 2ml). It's more likely that you were prescribed 2000iu/week, which would be 2ml, if you used 10ml of...

"WOW! I can't wait to see how the pharmaceutical companies spin this." JW, you said in one sentence what took me a page to describe:-)

Nelson, "Dr. Steven L. Zweibel, the director of cardiac electrophysiology at Hartford Hospital, is perplexed by new guidelines on preventing heart disease and strokes, which were released by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association. "The new recommendations...

Nelson, I am fortunate to live close to the heart of the best Mid-Eastern restaurants in the U.S. I have countless restaurants to choose from within 10 minutes of my house.

"Today, there’s proof and numbers supporting a Mediterranean diet for heart health. A recent study shows that about 30 percent of heart risks can be prevented by adopting a diet rich in monounsaturated fats. These findings, published on The New England Journal of Medicine’s website, are based...

Use paper plates, disposable cups, forks,spoons, knives to drastically decrease the need to wash dishes. Buy RTD protein drinks, various bars. Prior to operation, make double batch crock-pot recipes and freeze them. Makes it very easy since you will only need to re-heat what you need in...

Brooksky, I use 3.0 grain/day; which is a significant amount of thyroid. What blood tests has your doctor performed?

Gene, You would be surprised at how many mainstream doctors/endocrinologists only test Tsh and Free-t4. My Endo at the University of Michigan did the same nonsense with me. Plus, she refused to address MANY hypo symptom's I was experiencing after she initially took me off Armour and switched me...

What’s the best way to take your supplements? This is an excellent question, answered by the Life Extension Clinic, in the following article: http://blog.lef.org/2013/11/how-to-optimize-your-supplement-intake.html

Nelson, I have been following my mothers hypothyroidism for many years. She has seen many endocrinologists, some of which are the "best" in the field. Recently, her Free-t4 was high and her Free-t3 was low. Her endocrinologist; therefore, lowered her dose of Synthroid. It boggles my mind that...

Metabolic adaption/damage is one of the hottest topics in the physique world at this time. *Biology's response to dieting: the impetus for weight regain* http://ajpregu.physiology.org/content/ajpregu/301/3/R581.full.pdf

The following research provides evidence against those that state low-carbohydrate diets increases glucose tolerance. http://ajpendo.physiology.org/content/305/9/E1059

*Athletes engaged in intense training need to ingest about 1.5 – 2 times the RDA of protein in their diet (1.5 to 2.0 g/kg/d) in order to maintain protein balance. *General fitness program, protein needs can generally be met by ingesting 0.8 – 1.0...

Gene, That would be great as I have never seen Dr. Crisler's paper. Does he include references?

Nelson, I think we need to prepare a "position statement," that covers the basics of TRT, which is backed-up by scientific research. In total, it would need to cover all the bases, within 2-3 pages maximum so that a doctor will read it. It's an uphill battle to convince the average doctor that...

One point that many guys don't seem to comprehend, is if you're buying an inferior, dirty, under-dosed, and/or counterfeit product, it's not a "deal." Over time, if we have enough members who purchase drugs from other countries, we'll slowly be able to develop a list of legitimate...

One should not assume because a pharmaceutical product is coming from a pharmacy that it is a quality product, nor legitimate. In fact, fake/illegitimate drugs are routinely found in distribution centers as well as pharmacies in the United States. Therefore, when you look at pharmacies in Mexico...

JWSimpkins listed some good choices. I have used contrast showers for many years. One key point to remember is to always finish with cold as stated in the article. In perfect world, you'd have both a whirlpool (104-105 degrees is the norm) and cold plunge available. Generally, with the...

In general, if you GAVE me any drug from Mexico I would not use it. Anabolics from Mexico are very low quality. I have seen many infections that have occurred due to the usage of various anabolics from Mexico. If you don't treat an infection promptly, many times it will turn into an abscess...
