While Vitamin K2 is a must IMO, (I use both forms) there are lots of other things to take as well such as Vitamin C. Read the book The Clot Thickens by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick. There are also things to avoid such as long-term use of Ibuprofen or Naproxen. Things which promote Nitric Oxide are also...
First, it's going to take a few weeks for your natural production to cease, so you will be in a a state of high fluctuation until you reach a new steady state. 160 per week still sounds very high to me. Some people do very well on a dosage like that but others do best on much lower dosages like...
DR. Gundry's book Gut Check covers this topic I believe. I haven't read it but I have heard him interviewed on the topic. Curing his own leaky gut apparently resolved his enlarged prostate. There is a test for it (Zonulin and/or LPS maybe?) but I have forgotten exactly what it is. The cure...
This has puzzled me too since (among other things) these drugs apparently slow down intestinal motility, however I understood slow food passage to be associated with (and likely causative of) colon cancer.
IMO, you should absolutely be training to gain muscle and for all-around athleticism. Low muscle mass is not good, and you don't know whether the other aspects of your protocol are sustainable until you have the workload you need to maintain long-term. 8% is somewhat arbitrary and likely not...
I have not used it but have heard that it takes many hours for it to have an effect, so taking it in the morning often works better, but you will have to experiment and see.
Kudos to you for actually reading and educating yourself. That book essentially becomes a tool against which almost all actions can be validated against. It's also worth noting that statins are well-known to not reduce plaque and apparently hasten the calcification of soft plaques, which the...
Two additional thoughts...
Dr. Gundry mentioned in one of his books/podcasts that there are actually long-lived, healthy people who smoke, however they also live in areas where their diet is very high in Vitamin C. The mechanism is apparently that smoking causes very high oxidative stress which...
I agree that 500mg of androgens per week is likely a net negative (although how much an active lifestyle counters this is worthy of discussion.) However, singling out that one thing does not seem valid in comparison to other potential contributors. Further, it's not really relevant now and could...
Then read the book!!!! There is no substitute for becoming literate on the details. CVD is a combination of 1) damage to the glycocalyx and endothelium, 2) excess blood clotting to repair the damage, and 3) inadequate removal/reabsorption of the repair (plaques). If lowering LDL reduced these...
I would strongly suggest reading the book "The Clot Thickens" by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick. I'm going to post a formal book review here before too long but after reading it you will be vastly more fluent in the process of heart disease, (and LDL is a very minor player.) From what you've said, smoking...
If you know the amount of liquid in the vial and the total mg of PT-141 then you can calculate it. So for example, if the vial has 10mg of PT-141 and you added 5 ml of water, then that would be 2mg for a full syringe, so 1/10 of a syringe would be 200 MCG.
What does that equate to in micrograms? (MCG). I would start at no more than 500mcg and preferably 100-300mcg, and gradually work up. If you inject before bed you should have noticeable benefit in the morning. Injecting more (to start with) can give more side effects than benefit. You will feel...
Have you tried DMSO and BPC-157 yet? I have nothing against Nandrolone but those two are my go-to's for joint issues. You might also review the "fixes for joint issues" thread.
This is a meta-study and I didn't see even any dosage ranges, let alone actual doses studied. Also, if these finding were valid one would think that they would have been reported by users, especially since symptoms they describe are consistently reported for other compounds such as aggression...
I've never heard of T being either the cause or cure for inflammatory issues, and I know of no logic or evidence for it being the issue. In general you likely need to be working with a good holistic/integrative Doc. There are a lot of other things to consider:
- Follow a protocol to eliminate...
Is that measuring levels in the blood or in the cells? I am sure taking it orally would raise blood levels but that does not mean it is making it into cells at an equivalent time, place and amount as would be the case if the body was producing it naturally, especially since it is produced in the...
Thanks. Now that you mention this, I did hear an interview with Barry Tan where he described this. However, it sounds very preliminary, and also doesn't appear to address the other issues with statins (such as cognitive issues) and general lack of benefit compared to root cause approaches. As an...
1 gram seems excessive. I would shoot for around 100 grams per day on average from quality foods, avoid wheat, seed oils, and processed foods, and then train sensibly looking to progress. Do that for 18 month or so and then reassess.
I constantly hear the recommendation to take CoQ10 with statins, but is there actually any evidence or logic that it is truly replacing the body's CoQ10? CoQ10 is made inside the cells at the time and in the amount that the body needs, however thinking that swallowing CoQ10 will somehow...
You're presenting a false dichotomy. "under-prescribing" is not "denying treatment" . What others are saying is that better treatments focused on root causes should be pursued, and "anti-depressants" looked at as a short-term crutch at best. And where is the evidence that mainstream psychiatry...
High T levels might not over-ride other negative factors such as eating too little, over-training, or poor sleep, however I have never heard of any experience or logic that would suggest higher T levels alone would reduce muscle mass, even in the case of elevated estrogen. If, for example, using...
Another idea (unless you are already very lean) is to try doing a short fast of 24-36 hours, the idea being that if you feel better it could point to some sort of gut or food sensitivity issue. If you are in an environment where you can get fairly intense mid-day sun, that is likely to be...
Your symptoms scream infection or environmental toxin, and a good work-up from a holistic doc would be a good place to start but the tests would cost money. There are other things that can cause fatigue such as use of high-dose niacin, so I would look at everything you're taking and doing and...
If you're going to try it, I recommend you try a protocol that won't significantly shut down your natural production. A low dose of clomid or enclomiphene, or one of the oral/nasal types that cataceous has talked about would be a good start. If you're looking for gym benefits, I would start with...
