  1. NEED INPUT - ELEVATED BUN, URINE URIC ACID

    Occasional gas, dull headaches, hypertension.
  2. NEED INPUT - ELEVATED BUN, URINE URIC ACID

    Grain-free, sugar-free, no cow's milk dairy (I will occasionally eat raw goat milk cheese or kefir). Take lots of probiotics.
  3. NEED INPUT - ELEVATED BUN, URINE URIC ACID

    Thanks, I have been taking ACV for the last couple years now. This is the first time I've tested for urine uric acid, so I have no idea of what my level was before.
  4. NEED INPUT - ELEVATED BUN, URINE URIC ACID

    Current stats: Age: 52 Height: 5-7 Weight: 167lbs - approx. 130lbs fat-free mass Bodyfat: 18.4% Average Macros: Calories: 1400 Protein: 135g Carbs: 40g (<10g of that from fructose, mostly berries) Fat: 75g I have been eating VLC paleo and doing intermittent fasting for about the last 6 mos...
  5. STACKING T2 with T3 ok?

    I eat low-carb Paleo and do leangains IF 16/8 for last 6 months. On this regimen, I have lost approx. 13 lbs over the last year, I now stand at nearly 19% bf, barely a 3% (5lbs) drop in bf from baseline which equates to about 38% of total weight loss. Thus, I have hit the proverbial wall and...
  6. STACKING T2 with T3 ok?

    I am hypothyroid and have been using sustained-release T3 to lower my TSH and rT3 and raise my T3. So far, T3 has been helpful in that regard, but hasn't done much in the way of fat loss, therefore, I am interested in adding in T2. I would think it's ok from a safety standpoint since T2...
  7. CUT THEN CLEAN BULK?

    Age: 52 Ht: 5-7 wt: 173 My goal is to get <10% bf and add 25lbs of lean mass. I am having a tough time doing it given my hypothyroidism/inflammation issues. Based on that & my bf @ 25%, I am thinking it would it make more sense to drop weight another 15-20lbs. first and then clean bulk it. My...
  8. CLONIDINE & REBOUND HYPERTENSION

    It is being used routinely to bring down norepi. This rebound effect is not something the doc brought up perhaps because the dosage is low, but I'm still concerned.
  9. CLONIDINE & REBOUND HYPERTENSION

    I've been Rx'd up to .5mg clonidine to help bring down an elevated sympathetic nervous system/norepinephrine since I tend to spike at night before bed. It is also purported to stimulate GH and is a hypotensive. Sounded good to me up until I read about one major side: rebound hypertension since...
  10. PEPTIDES vs. HGH

    How does your doc feel about your use of the peptides in conjunction with HGH?
  11. CLA for FAT LOSS, BUT CAUSES FATTY LIVER?

    [Since there's restriction on posting links for newbies, I had to remove the www or http] ihealthbulletin.com/blog/2007/01/30/can-weight-loss-supplement-cla-cause-fatty-liver researchnews.osu.edu/archive/cladiet.htm zhion.com/liver_issues/CLA.html Just the opposite...
  12. CLA for FAT LOSS, BUT CAUSES FATTY LIVER?

    had been taking CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) for fat loss and many other benefits and just read that it can cause fat to accumulate in the liver while your abdominal fat decreases. Anyone have more info or experience on this?
  13. CREATINE = WATER RETENTION = HYPERTENSION?

    For all the great studies done on the enhancement of strength and stamina using creatine, anecdotal evidence suggests possible spikes in blood pressure from continued use based on the likelihood that it causes the muscles to retain water. The water retention or bloat is nothing new. But I'm...
  14. PEPTIDES vs. HGH

    With as much experience as you have, what's your opinion as to HGH's other sides, i.e. negative feedback loop, not to mention risk of cancers and other health effects (which is why I thought it made more sense in using secretagogues to produce it naturally in the body as opposed to injecting it)?
  15. PEPTIDES vs. HGH

    Yes, I found this link too. Thanks, RAHHH
  16. PEPTIDES vs. HGH

    I am using herbal extracts to control it - AND - of course once I get my BF% down, I am hopeful the BP should drop as well. The HGH would help in reducing the BF, so as long as it doesn't eventually cause the fluid retention from continued use, I'm good. Question: Have you used any peptides?
  17. PEPTIDES vs. HGH

    One thing that concerns me though is that GH can cause bloat and water retention which can lead to hypertension (I'm already prone to high blood pressure), not to mention the cancer risks. Thoughts on this? Also - what about igf-1lr3 that RAHHH is talking about which I'm not familiar with?
  18. PEPTIDES vs. HGH

    I am interested in using peptides as an alternative to HGH for superior bodyfat reduction, increasing lean mass, as well as for anti-aging and overall well-being. I had used Genotropin mini-quicks before with no discernable results. I have read many pro and cons on using peptides on this forum...
  19. WHAT DOCS PRESCRIBE THE HGH ALTERNATIVES?

    I only know of 2 docs in the U.S. that are familiar with and prescribe the peptide secretagogue alternatives to HGH such as sermorelin, GHRP-6, etc. Dr. John Crisler, DO Dr. Karlis Ullis, MD Does anyone know of any other docs? If these peptides are as great as all these links claim, why...
  20. DOCS IN CALIFORNIA: ULLIS or MARIANO?

    Question: how long ago did you see both docs and do you still keep in touch with Dr. M? I'm surprised that Ullis is the more expensive of the two since he's known internationally and has been a sports doc for the Olympics, etc. Thanks a bunch for this "insider" info. This confirms my doubts...
