Asked Victor Black on IG why did he ban Taeian Clark and he replied that Taeian said that Victor was pushing young kids into buying PEDS or some crazy BS like that LOL It's hillarious SMH.

I asked about using Deca/Nandrolone for HRT base with a bit of test or solo and was said by different members of his cult that its the most detrimental thing you can do for your brain, as its neurotoxic and that I should stick to test as it works for 90% of people LOL. Him and his all his cult believes that the whatever research we have on Deca and brain says exactly this. Taeian's group/cult is the opposite as he states that the research is piss weak and that means pretty much fuck all. Two different groups/cults and their members protecting their leaders LMAO

What do you think about all this @Gman86 ?

p.s. I might have already asked this question so please forgive me as we have more then +30C here where I'm at and no AC LOL

I've been doing alot of H. pylori research lately (had a positive blood IgG result, following up with stool and breath tests) and found the most amazing presentation. If you haven't seen this yet you want to check it out:

Thanks mate already watching. Just few days ago received all my meds and looking to start treatment this/next week.

Been some time for updates so here goes. Did blood test on the 21st, fasted, on the injection day, so here are a few results I've got.

A month or so ago, maybe less ditched the Sustanon and got on the Pharma grade Test-E @ 100mg E5D.

Seems I can't upload anything, damn.

Hey @Nelson seems I can't upload any picture/photo jpeg or png, says server error. Any ideas whats happening here?

Will finish my post once it's fixed as can't be bothered to type all the results in.

I believe @Nelson is out of town right now. Hopefully when he's back it will get fixed.

Have a lot of updates to post but will wait once it's been fixed as whatever formats I've tried to upload/attach- all come back with the same "server" error issue.

How about hosting the pics elsewhere and posting links to them?

Looks like admins fixed the image upload errors so thank you guys!

Here are my last weeks simple blood test results GP ordered after I pressed her nicely just a bit hehe Seems that works over here else you will get FBC done and thats it lol

Anyway everything looking OK to me except the Liver ALT enzyme which spiked 6x from my basline I had the last 3 years since healing my liver. Hope that its just from the hard and heavy chest workout I've done a couple days before test else maybe some supps elevating it but doubt that it would be at this level and from what I'm taking. GP ordered re-test in 2-4 weeks.

I have been on the new 100mg E5D protocol of Pharma grade Testosterone Enanthate (Testoviron) for around 3 weeks time FWIW after ditching Sustanon.

Before I was on the 100mg/week split E3.5D I had my TT at through right before the next injection at 30nmol/L(8.6-29) and E2 at 124pmol/L(40-162). Now on the 100mg E5D my TT tested at through, fasted as well, came back 18nmol/L(8.3-30) and E2 at 91pmol/L(0-162). So E3 went down and also TT pretty much back to baseline on the injection day. My baseline TT was 16.3nmol/L IIRC. These readings are interesting to me because my BP has returned to pre TRT levels and also dipped below into the numbers I have never ever seen in my life. So I believe that the injection frequency and the type of testosterone injected will have a different effect on most men.

Also my PRL is nearly borderline low but still in range. Does that bare any negatives if anyone experienced with it knows?

Also my RBC, HCT and Hb had went down after the change of protocol as well which is interesting as usually I hear that going more frequent injections should help to keep them all down. But still I did a protocol change just marely 3 weeks ago so not sure its possible for them to go down that quick.

I know 3 weeks is nothing but this is all I've got atm. I'm going by how I feel and perform and less by numbers because they are just a snapshot in time. No need to be obsessed about them and trigger yourself some more anxiety then there is. Been guilty of that. Been there, done that.

Also eGFR came back better then before at 88mL/min vs the last test in July 68mL/min. But since its it can fluctuate widely and is not proper for a muscular guy I will retest Cystatin-C later down the line when I will be doing a complete blood test by myself.

Next post will do about BP and what happened there as its quite an interesting story as well.

All comments and questions more then welcomed guys.

Best regards,
Bel

BP post.

This has been my reading yesterdays morning just out of bed after wc. I have never ever seen such BP on myself. Considering how much work I put in and been putting in over years and decades my BP had to be like this all the time but was mysteriously elevated when on TRT lately and before some years ago when I was running 250mg/week.

Now I came to conclusion that high salt absolutely destroys my BP and increases HR as well. Fuck all those who say you need grams on grams of salt. You don't need that much even if you are sweating and working out like a madman. If you need it and do well on it and your BP stays good- then crack on and be my guest. So for now I'm using 66% reduced salt with potassium and seems it been working for me till I buy proper scales and measure everything to pinpoint accuracy as salt is def one of the things I need to pay attention and monitor closely. Also readalot had posted a lot of articles about exessive salt consumption being detrimental in the long-term as well. So def something to keep in mind and play around to see how it effects your BP and RHR.

Ester type. Went from Sustanon to Enanthate and pretty much same time started noticing my BP dipping into those uncharted areas for me. I've heard serious anecdotes about guys being destroyed on some Esters and then just by changing it everything comes back into place and better then ever. Esp true with Sustanon type blend as it has 3 or 4 different Esters and one of them being the fast acting Testosterone Propionate. Which I'm guessing was giving me a lot of sides and overstimulation. Still have some of it left so maybe once I finish my Enanthate I might give it a try to see if it spiked my BP just like that considering all other things kept equal.

Injection frequency. This one is another one that IMHO has a lot of effect on the patient. For me def less is more. Tried the EOD dosing and felt like a crackhead lol went back to E3.5D and felt better pretty much straight away. Was just a couple of weeks but couldn't take it any longer so reverted back. So far E5D has been the best for me even though only 8 weeks in but feeling good and BP controlled as well which is a WIN for me. Small wins and going forward. Step by step.

Diet. Also a major one and crucial. As some of you know I was eating Carnivore because of my gut issues but couldn't stand feeling racing heart, elevated/increased BP and RHR, feeling dead and empty inside, moody and low energy so I started eating more and more carbs daily and looks like it worked and is working so far. My guy issues still here and about to start treatment with a shit load of Antibiotics SMH. So me being an athlete for close to 20 years, maintaining a lot of muscle, being that active, carbs are def required and needed. Beef still every day 2-3 meals with some bread and rarely rice, because I fucking struggle to digest it which is crazy as used to be able to eat 1kg rice/day easy.

Supplements. Also I believe play an important role in the cardiovascular fitness. I will make a separate post about what I'm currently taking and what I'm yet still to order and hunting a good sale. I've taken all these supps from Dr. Thomas O'Connor suggestions as theres quite a few. I also believe in supplement quallity just like food quallity as well. Its better to buy expensive, a better brand product and hope the stuff inside and dosages are actually correct. Also my BP stayed elevated even when taking Magnesium and Potassium by NOW. Dropped them pretty much around the time I also switched Esters and heres the result. Best BP ever lol

Cardio. 3-4x/week stairmaister 40mins starting level 7 and +1 every 10mins in. So level 7, 8, 9 and 10. Puts me in a nice 140-150bpm HR AVG. Daily 8-10K steps minimum as well FWIW. Always taking the steps, always walking, pretty much never driving.

Training. 3-4x week as heavy as I can but will all my traumas and injuries I must be extra careful else be in pain for a week in no time.

Sleep. Trying to sleep most nights now and not do the night work as used to before. Try to do it quicker and be more strategic. Seems its working. Sleep is very crucial for BP at least in my case. No sleep absolutely destroys my BP and makes me feel like shit.

Most likely forgot something maybe not. Time for a gym session and proper 40min stairmaster massacre LMAO



Best regards fam,
Bel

For the record:

2 months since starting new 100mg E5D protocol.
1 month switching from Sustanon to Test-E (both pharma grade).
3 weeks since bumping my dose to 125mg.

Original dose was 100mg/week. Now I'm on 175mg/week FWIW. So far so good. Will continue to monitor my BP and how I feel for the next 9 weeks and then will try to get a blood test done to see whats up. If I see that my BP will start spiking or creeping higher I will go down to 100mg E5D and then stay there till blood test time which obviously gonna extend as the new protocol will be in place again. Hope that won't happen but always ready for the next step.

Supplements all the same and also looking to add Nattokinase, Astragalus and good multispectrum Vitamin-E. Also looking for a quallity TUDCA as well for my liver. Will update once I do. Theres some more but these are the main ones I'm looking to boot on the next shopping round.

Hope you guys have a smashing week!

Bel

Just few days ago received all my meds and looking to start treatment this/next week.

What happened with the h. pylori and stomach issues? Did you take a course of antibiotics? What were the results?

 

[Belekas]

What happened with the h. pylori and stomach issues? Did you take a course of antibiotics? What were the results?

Not yet. Had some GP appoitments to discuss as I wanted them to prescribe me Rifabutin which the Endocronology department agreed on. But nothing happened because here in UK GPs can't prescribe it in primary care and it has to be initiated by the hospital. So just wasted my time but had to try because I'd rather run Rifabutin with a lower dose of other antibiotics then the high-dose protocol with Amoxicillin and Metronidazole because of the low resistance rates to Rifabutin. It was recommended by Nelson as he struggled a lot with this issue as well and only this helped him. Anyway I have everything ready just cought a flu/virus these last 4 days been feeling like death and only since yesterday started to feel better. So was contemplating if its better to heal now and then start or just start now and them Antibiotics will help me heal from this flu/virus faster as well.

The pains and discomfort still there, some days better, some days worse so manipulating foods and just going forward.

Also I've watched a very interesting video where a guy says that this SIBO like bacteria overgrowth can actually mean adaptation and that it might be not the right way to try and kill the bacteria. I can try finding the video where he basically says we need to supplement with Molybdenum deficiency as I understood. From what I've read Molybdenum-containing enzymes also break down purines and sulfites and also toxins and drugs.

I've been doing alot of research on this myself and what I've come up with for the highest eradication rate with the lowest side effects is high dose dual therapy.

H. pylori almost never develops resistance to amoxicillin (0-4% resistance rate), but amoxicillin is only strongly active at pH of 6 or greater and its half-life is relatively short. In order to maintain that high pH and high levels of amoxicillin, you dose both the PPI and the amoxicillin 4x daily. This achieves an eradication rate of 90-95% and only 10-15% of people have adverse effects. Amoxicillin is very well tolerated compared to other antibiotics. The rate of adverse effects with triple or quadruple therapy is typically 40% or greater.

This can be combined with a number of harmless supplements which each have been shown in clinical trials to increase eradication rate when combined with antibiotics, including S. boulardii, Pylopass (heat-inactivated L. reuteri DSM 17648), and lactoferrin. I'm going to run all of that for 14 days and let you know how it goes.

Dual therapy you mean 2 different Antibiotics or Just 1 Antibiotic and PPIs high-dosed 4x/day?

 

[FunkOdyssey]

Dual therapy you mean 2 different Antibiotics or Just 1 Antibiotic and PPIs high-dosed 4x/day?

Dual means just amoxicillin and PPI. I'm using esomeprazole 20 mg and amoxicillin 1000 mg, 4x daily. Rabeprazole or esomeprazole are preferred PPIs for this protocol because they are the least susceptible PPIs to genetic differences in metabolism which can reduce effectiveness.

Hmm interesting. I've read about this as well. Also I have Rebeprazole as well. What would you dose Rebeprazole, 10mg 4x day? So basically we don't even need to add Metronidazole...Hmmm...
