Hey,
I am considering a cycle of EQ (boldenone) for health reasons. I am currently iron deficient, a result of a few years of Crohn's disease which is now under control. The normal range for the serum iron is 50–150 ng/dL, and mine was most recently 14 ng/dL.
The research on the subject indicates that iron works best when it is co-administered with EPO. In addition, oral iron tends to make GI problems worse, so the most effective form of iron replacement in the literature is iron sucrose or iron dextrose injections.
Most of the research on the subject of iron deficiency related to Crohn's (and I have done my research) is being conducted in Europe; I do not know of anyone in the US medical community who could help me in this respect. My GI (AKA gastroenterologist; GI is an abbreviation for gastrointestinal specialist) told me to take oral iron, which proved to be a very bad idea. The other GI available to me on my insurance plan is far worse. I would happily visit another American GI, if anyone knows of one who would make matters better rather than worse.
The iron deficiency causes some loss of endurance, and my GI health is not 100% (I do not tolerate alcohol, for example).
All of the following goals are things I want to accomplish as soon as possible, and improve upon in the long term.
I want to:
A maximize my digestive health
B increase my energy levels
C correct my iron deficiency
At present I am looking at three possible methods of accomplishing the above:
1 find a doctor who can actually help me (anyone know of one?)
2 run a test cycle of EQ because of its EPO effect
3 run transdermal iron
Method 1 is what I really ought to do, but my attempts thus far have been unsuccessful. Anyone know a doctor who could help me?
Method 2 might help me, but I don't know how strong of an EPO effect boldenone has. The literature I have consulted puts people on something in the neighborhood of 4000 IU of EPO per week. Can anyone recommend an EQ regimen for maximizing EPO? What is the approximate equivalent EPO effect of running, say, 300mg EQ per week?
As a followup on method 2, I have IGF available to me, which might also be helpful. Not sure...
Method 3, like method 2, is a method of my invention. I do not have iron sucrose or iron dextrose available to me, but various iron preparations are available OTC, as is Phlojel (let's hope Bush doesn't make it illegal in the next four months). Taking iron to correct iron deficiency seems obvious, but I fear it is too obvious. Iron injections deplete the body's stores of vitamin C and other antioxidants, indicating that it is a prooxidant, and I am already under oxidative stress. But if there is reason to believe that iron would be more helpful than harmful (or vice versa), I am all ears.
Does anyone have any feedback? Or does anyone know of a doctor who could help me?
Thanks
