    Melatonin II Questions

    Where did you see this data on melanoma? I reviewed the topic, and only discovered a case report of melanoma in a user. Case reports on intrinsically unreliable, and not to mention the subject of the case report had a particularly confounded background given all of the tanning she was partaking in.

    Need Advice on Low T

    I'd honestly stop drinking alcohol altogether and see how you respond. It negative impacts sleep quality and testosterone values. I know you were worried about the anti-histamine, but it's a much less likely culprit than the booze. One is a a hypothetical link between rats and humans, the other...

    Need Advice on Low T

    1. You'd likely see upwards of a 30% increase in test levels in the AM relative to the PM. That full drop may not manifest by 2PM, but I'd expect it will be higher and that you'll be in the "normal" range per standard reference ranges. 2. Numbers could absolutely be a "fluke" or just...

    Testosterone cypionate causing Pneumonia????

    No idea. I use a much more simplistic philosophy: when the body is out of whack, it's not going to work as well :P And, hypogonadism is definitely a body out of whack ^_^

    Testosterone cypionate causing Pneumonia????

    In the middle of a nasty viral respiratory infection season, this is almost assuredly a coincidence. On a hypothetical level, there may be some tiny immunosuppression from elevated testosterone levels, but from a real-world outcomes level that seems unlikely. A mouse model demonstrated...

    Ways to lower Blood PRESSURE! !!

    The most common cause of secondary hypertension in the US is sleep apnea. You should always be checked for sleep apnea. A low salt DASH diet is as, or more, effective than many anti-hypertensive mono therapies for many people. And, the higher the BP, the more effective it seems to be...

    18 gauge for trt

    Yeah, lol. I wouldn't pin with an 18g. That's just, no. I've pinned with 21g before, and I'd do that again. But, a 18g? No way. You need a pharmacist and physician more willing to work with you on this. lol

    MA Research Now Open!

    Great, thank you! Having said that, I think my specific concern was the solutions they're suspended and whether not that has an effect. When I see compounded pills and tablets, I have plenty of confidence those will last for years. But, I wasn't sure it's safe to extrapolate a product in a pill...

    MA Research Now Open!

    I forgot to ask earlier in our communication, what is the shelf life of most of your research chems? Specifically, tadalafil if they vary.

    29 yr old, candidate for TRT?

    Interesting, thanks for your take. Many of these interpretations are completely new to me. I'm assuming that there are well defined mechanisms for most of these in physiology texts. I'll have to look for them. I've got to say, the one that really throws me off is the idea that platelet count...

    29 yr old, candidate for TRT?

    I personally have not been using HCG. I enjoy the shrunken testicles and my libido is mostly good so long as I have E under control. They're much less cumbersome. lol. At 100mg/wk, I basically only need to drop a 0.5mg tab of anastrozole every once in a while to keep things under control. When...

    29 yr old, candidate for TRT?

    I killed my HPGA at a young age due to the pro hormones in the early 2000s. Left me an absolute wreck for about 5 years. The anxiety and depression alone hit a point that it was almost crippling. Getting on TRT literally turned my life around. 100mg/wk and I was a new man. If a person has done...

    29 yr old, candidate for TRT?

    I'll let The Matrix elaborate, if he sees fit on the rest. I personally didn't see anything too remarkable the CMP, CBC, and TSH. But, although many people would decry this as "normal" due to the fact that the total T is within the reference range, I'm one of the few who sees evidence of a...

    29 yr old, candidate for TRT?

    The are of medicine (at least it seems mostly closely aligned with functional medicine / naturopathy based on what I've read) you're involved in is still new to me. Learning more as time allows. Would you be willing to elaborate, or at least dictate the thought process, on how you gather low...
