Thanks Ardoc2!

Yes. Just water or iced tea. No juices or nutritional drinks.

There was also a recent article that highlighted the low incidence of COVID-19 cases in equatorial countries. 5 minutes of equatorial sun exposure is estimated to produce about 1000 IU of vitamin D through conversion of cholesterol in the skin layers.

I fast periodically for a general refresh and reset. Fasting helps to keep my diabetes and hypertension tendencies under control. On a fast I generally feel great! Here's how it goes for me: On the first day I am hungry but by the end of the second day the hunger goes away. My energy level...

I fasted for 14 days and still took 5 mg Cialis per day. There were no ill effects that I could detect. This was a complete fast not Ramadan style.

90 mg per week injected daily at .13mg.

Glad to hear that Vince!

Vince: just following up on this. I've been taking 5 mg. Yohimbine HCL once per day for about two weeks now. Been consistently getting the same results you mentioned in your post. The difference has been dramatic. I'm sticking with 5 mg. per day because I have a couple of the Yohimbine risk...

Vince thanks again for posting this. I got the brand you are using and just started taking it (5 mg / day). So far I've had similar results. I'm using it cautiously until I assess the side effects but even at 5 mg / day I can tell a difference. I also notice a bit of a boost in energy and mental...

Thank you Vince!

Vince which brand do you use?

I can only respond from personal experience. When I was on trimix I would occasionally go away for a weekend and take an un-refrigerated syringe of trimix. It still worked the same after 2 days. This is certainly not a recommendation, just anecdotal information.

Yes it's over the counter so you can pick it up anywhere. It did the trick for me after spending lots of time and money on tests, protocol changes, and so forth. I had almost given up on erections till I popped 25 mg. of DHEA.

No I had no negative reactions at all. My DHEA levels were already above range and did not change much on the next labs. But the positive effects were dramatic. Go figure.

I'll be curious to hear how those changes work for you Vince!

Like Coastwatcher said stay the course. It will take time to determine how your body reacts and to develop a tailored protocol that works best for you. Some guys find this quickly while some take a while to get dialed in. It helps if your doctor is knowledgeable about hormone replacement and...

DHEA was a huge game-changer for me. Nothing else in my TRT journey has had such a tremendous positive effect. Even so, I take 25 mg. per day. Doses above that level don't seem to deliver additional positive effects. I don't notice anything from pregnenolone. That doesn't mean it isn't helping...

Well said James. It took me 3 years to come to the same conclusion. I'm low SHBG and now on T only. No AI no HCG. I don't inject daily but 3x/week. Daily might work even better. This whole thread underscores the fact that no two men are identical and each of us will have to learn how these...

It has a similar effect on me. It is the one thing that turns my sexual function on. Also nocturnal erections. After two decades of having no nocturnal erections, they returned within 1 day of supplementing with DHEA. I take 25 mg. daily.

Thanks for posting that Vince!

Skip the cookie-cutter clinic experience and follow the advice of those here who are steering you toward high-quality yet affordable care. At great expense, I went through hell during my time with a men's clinic and believe me you don't want that. I can attest from personal experience that Defy...

Over the past year E2 sensitive has ranged from 38.2 to 47.6. (range 8.0-35.0) SHBG from 13.6 to 25.2 (range 19.3-76.4)

I can verify with labs that I feel far better when my E2 is above the normal range. Even tiny doses of an AI have a very bad effect. You may be the same. This just confirms what others have said: don't chase numbers, chase wellness.

Good to see you back! I always enjoyed your posts and am looking forward to more of them. All the best brother.

I started at age 61 with a total T of 205. Now I am pretty dialed in on my protocol and usually run just over 1000. At the outset I had complete ED which was not helped even with quadruple doses of Cialis or Viagra. I had not had a nocturnal erection for two decades. Now the nocturnal...

They usually have a 2-for-1 special so I get 4000 mcg for under $30. That gets diluted with 4ml of bacteriostatic water. I inject .2 ml 3x per week so that lasts just under 7 weeks.

I get mine from Blue Sky Peptides. I can't vouch for them: just saying that's where I get mine. Note their disclaimer about research peptides. https://www.blueskypeptide.com/ipamorelin-2000mcg.html What size is the vial you are getting for $350.?

From what I understand, production of DHEA and its downstream hormones (including the androgens like T and E) can be blocked by demand for cortisol - which is made (like DHEA) from Pregnenolone. Look up "pregnenolone steal" for interesting information about this. So in an individual with stress...

I had that experience. My DHEA levels on my labs were flagged as high. Yet my Dr. suggested I take 25 mg per day. Within 2 days nocturnal erections and morning wood both turned on after being absent for at least two decades. Other positive changes happened as well. On the next labs, DHEA...

I have a Keto meter but rarely use it because of the high cost of strips. What it told me is that it takes very strict adherence to the keto regime for my body to achieve ketosis. I must stay under 20 grams of carbs per day. However I do get benefits from the diet even when I'm not quite that...
