  1. Therapy for the gut

    Research may be 10 or even 20 years ahead of clinical practice but there is still far more that we don't know than we do know when it comes to human health and that goes double for personalized medicine. I'm happy for you that you seem to have a satisfactory solution for your ailments albeit...

  2. Therapy for the gut

    For sure this is not normal. Obviously you have a significant history of health issues. Cancer treatment is usually hard on the gut. It may be, however, that your gallbladder removal is more related to this. The gallbladder is needed for processing certain fats. Perhaps you can switch your...

  3. Therapy for the gut

    My biggest advantage is being in the medical research community. I have access to things even doctors don't have. I have a lab and am connected to the biotech industry. Nevertheless, it is still very hard to make progress in understanding a novel disease especially if your funding is limited...

  4. Therapy for the gut

    I wish we knew what all the bases are. That is what I spend all my free time working on. Poorly funded basic research moves slowly. Since I cannot do new drug development my best chance is to do trials of treatments on myself and see if anything helps. Sadly the previous treatment I tried...

  5. Therapy for the gut

    I know for sure that I have a leaky gut. Was diagnosed years ago and treated but never was able to fully recover. At the time the focus was on Candida. I have not tried CANDEX specifically but have tried similar products. I know now that Candida is a secondary problem for me. Even after...

  6. Therapy for the gut

    Haha. Drinking usually does not make me feel good. I did have some 7% alcohol Asti to drink and stayed up late so it was that much more surprising that I felt better the next day. These past several weeks I have really had a hard time in the AM. The stuff did give me the runs though but that...

  7. Therapy for the gut

    For New Years Eve I made a pumpkin roll using xylitol. This really made me feel a lot better - less fatigue, better mojo, and improvements in other recent symptoms. I plan to continue to use this stuff. Thanks for the suggestion.

  8. I need help.

    The part of the story I'd like to know is what happened that made you go from 165 to 250? Did you stop exercising and eat a ton of crap? Was there some other factor in play? Or do you think the thyroid is the primary issue?

  9. Marry Christmas.

    I'm not sure but 4000 homes were affected. My guess is the prolonged cold snap had too many people breaking out the space heaters on top of the xmas lights. Overload.

  10. Marry Christmas.

    Merry Xmas to you too! The power went out here too. Fortunately it is back now. For a while I thought we would have to cancel xmas here.

  11. Does anyone have experience with DIM?

    I have used I3C for years and like it. I tried DIM more recently and felt like crap (bad fatigue) and stopped it right away. I was thinking about trying it again to see if that was a fluke.

  12. Lab testing and getting to the core

    I would add to make sure that CBC includes a differential.

  13. Politics of the Prostate.

    There is no doubt that the PSA test is a lousy screening test for prostate cancer and I agree completely with the new recommendations to not use this test for this purpose. The PSA test is, however, fairly good for predicting BPH. Too bad even most doctors don't know this. For those men that...

  14. Sexual Dysfunction, No Libido, Depression-The Matrix and Others

    Sorry for the slow response. I do not have first hand experience with NutrEval so I cannot make a recommendation about it. Since you have already gone ahead with it I hope it is what you need. It certainly covers a lot of stuff. Please share the results with us.

  15. muscle repair and DHT

    Assuming my muscle problems are a side effect of Avodart and assuming it is because my DHT levels are too low I could get the same effect by just lowering the dose. It is cheaper to use Avodart since my insurance covers it. But this is missing the point, I am trying to find out IF low DHT...

  16. muscle repair and DHT

    Below is the abstract for another clinical trial with DHT. Seems fairly safe but too bad it lowers T. This study suggests it does not lower SHBG but elsewhere I read it does. It also contradicts something I read that it doesn't change LH or FSH. As this is a primary source I'll believe this...

  17. muscle repair and DHT

    If Avodart is causing my muscle issues I would look more seriously for alternatives but you are right - it would be hard for me to give it up because I have felt better on the drug. If the DHT experiment helps with my muscle problems perhaps that is all I need and I don't need to give up...

  18. muscle repair and DHT

    Here is another interesting and recent abstract. Based on this study taking exogenous DHT should not affect my prostate. Dihydrotestosterone administration does not increase intraprostatic androgen concentrations or alter prostate androgen action in healthy men: a randomized-controlled...

  19. muscle repair and DHT

    I'm sharing an interesting abstract (pasted below) on a possible role for DHT in tendon healing that may be relevant to this thread. Effect of dihydrotestosterone on cultured human tenocytes from intact supraspinatus tendon. Denaro V, Ruzzini L, Longo UG, Franceschi F, De Paola B, Cittadini A...

  20. muscle repair and DHT

    Discredited was too strong a term. As far as I can tell your information about the FDA warning is still current. It is based upon a small increase in high grade prostate cancers despite a large reduction in overall cancer findings. This is very old news but it seems that this is an ongoing...
