FYI for those on statins

Something you might also throw into the mix are nitric oxide pills. I use the ones from n1o1.com.

Interesting. Why do you use the nitric oxide pills?

I apologize, I thought you meant something more on this level.

I like to experiment and combining them with a PDE5i seems like interesting potential synergy. Although Dr. Bryan disrespects beetroot for this, I have found it works almost as well as his tablet, although I have no way to know exactly. At some point the issue of "washing a clean car" comes into play where something that might work for someone who has an issue won't show benefit for someone who does not. Nitroglycerine can be potentially dangerous so I'm a bit more reluctant to experiment too much with that.

I think I'm going to order some low dose nitroglycerin and give it a try.

Hi All,


thanks so much everyone for the feedback... I made an appt with my primary.

My plan is to:

1) ask him for a script for Clomid
2) try some of those Nitrous Oxide supplements
3) may need a script as well for some Cialis (at least for now)
4) try fish-oils, etc, and try to cut down the carbs, try to lower the trigs


Since as far as I know, my own 'system' was working fine, just whatever happened (statin most likely) caused my hormone productions, etc to just decrease too much.

Taking that Testosterone (Xyosted) seemed to just not be the right approach, as that only injects me externally with TST, and also in turn shuts down my own system, which causes everything to go down.

Seems to make perfect sense to me, I'd follow the same path as Vince said (and others take when having fertility problems), is to take clomid, to just stimulate your own system to produce more hormones, ie I'd hope my LH/FSH, TST, and Estrogen will all start to go back up..

Hoping this will work (unless there really is something else medically wrong in my body that we haven't identified yet)

For the nitric oxide, Beet root powder seems to help for me and it is cheaper to start with. There is lot's of discussion of other options in the "Gene's Nitric Oxide Stack" thread here. And instead of statins, you can review the link below...

20 Heart-Healthy Actions With Better Risk/Reward Than Statins

Here at Excelmale there are frequent posts discussing the pros and cons of statins, and one in particular several weeks ago where a position paper was cited where the assumption was that statins are not only a viable option but should be the first line of defense against heart disease. As I have...

Hey All,


LOL, so I saw my primary today, he had no idea about clomid and also didn't know anything about other drugs used to help male infertility/stimulate hormone production.

All he knew was clomid was for 'females only'; but he is just a primary Dr., and he is a bit older.

I'm going to try and talk to my urologist, if he gives me the same stonewall, I'm probably on my own, unless I can find a fertility doctor that knows this stuff. (problem with my urologist is it's always months out to just get an appt!)

If I do end up on my own, anyone recommend places to find Clomid or HCG or other related med?

(These seem to be so common for male infertility treatment/low T, I'm very surprised this was the response)

In the 1980s US President Ronald Reagan slashed funding to NIH allowing private industry to move in.

Vast majority of statin trials are funded by manufactures.

Bias towards drug benefits, and underestimation of risks.

When drug industry, sponsored trials cannot be examined, and questioned by independent researchers, science ceases to exist, and it becomes nothing more than marketing.

Medical doctors have become to a great degree simply pawns to push pharmaceuticals to the end user for benefit of pharmaceutical companies. About half of the disease burden in the US is due to lifestyle choices and can be corrected by lifestyle changes. Pharmaceutical’s like statins are inferior to diet changes, but your family doctor does not know this because he or she is not taught this in medical school, and this approach is suppressed in the medical literature.
