    Lines/Creases on arms common in PFS? DNA link?

    I think a lot of the replies were just healthy skepticism. Your hypothesis is interesting, and I wouldn't discourage you from looking into it, but there's no real evidence yet to back it up. I don't think it's fair to draw a parallel between PFS denialism and healthy skepticism about causal...

    Lines/Creases on arms common in PFS? DNA link?

    I have those lines, but the fact that non-pfs people have them too would suggest they're not from bone loss. The average person with these lines, even if they consume lots of dietary 5ari, wouldn't experience any significant bone loss. Plus, why would they have these lines from birth and through...

    Yet another confirming study.......

    I was thinking the same, except it is significant that the control group had a far lower percentage of methylated 5AR2. I bet these guys did have these epigenetic properties from birth, but maybe it has made them more susceptible to PFS.

    Thanks man, I really appreciate it! I hope you start seeing some gains soon, lord knows I was pretty stuck there for awhile lol. It builds character, though. Idk what your lifestyle routine looks like on top of ARL, but for me getting my diet and digestion on track was critical to getting the...

    Niles' PFS Log

    Thanks man! I'm definitely happy with the results from TEI so far, even though it's been a bumpy ride. At first I was doing enemas and saunas, but I found they dehydrated me too much too quickly, to the point where it could take me a few days to recover. I've been in and out of four lows a...

    Niles' PFS Log

    Just came off of my last round of TEI supps recently, and man, things have been interesting. So before this last round of TEI I had taken a break for maybe 2 months, and things were really stable during that time. Decent EQ, shrinkage reversed for the most part, good stress tolerance, decent...

    Testosterone decreases brain 5AR1 and lowers allopregnenolone.

    I actually started fin because I was in a very stressful period that caused my hair loss to accelerate, which stressed me even more. I'd just moved to the east coast by myself, without any family or friends within hundreds of miles, and had broken it off with my gf for the move. I was abusing...

    Help me. Post finasteride sindrome and all sintomns

    I think the bulletproof gut protocol was the main factor, but the artichoke extract, ox bile, and TUDCA fixed my fat digestion. Yeah, I was in the same boat as you at first. Digestion was fucked for like 9 months before I tried most of this. After a few months on these supps my digestion was...

    The red pill: someone explain this to me

    Hey, if it works for you it works for you. Not trying to say it can't make some people happy, only that my experience doesn't suggest that it's the best way. I'm generally a pretty guarded guy naturally, never wanting to burden anyone with my problems, but I can tell you that after having been...

    The red pill: someone explain this to me

    I gotcha. I guess I'd interpreted it as more of a forever lifestyle of never letting yourself be vulnerable or genuine in front of a woman, all in the name of getting laid and maintaining the upper hand in any romantic scenario. I can see how "game" can be a tool to build confidence and...

    The red pill: someone explain this to me

    I feel like if you're gonna study and implement "game"/PUA you should at least be real with yourself about the fact that it's manipulative. If you're systematically implementing a laundry list of psychological tactics in order to convince a woman to have sex with you, you're acting in bad faith...

    The red pill: someone explain this to me

    I guess if you just wanna get laid and the ends justify the means in your book, then these commandments would be words to live by. A bit skeezy for my taste, though—nearly every commandment in there has the effect of lowering the girl's self esteem so they seek validation through sex. There are...

    The red pill: someone explain this to me

    All of these are just about gaining all the power in a relationship, which in my experience doesn't go too well. When you have all the power all the time, you start to turn into the worst version of yourself—arrogant, entitled, dismissive, condescending, etc., and this can cause you to stagnate...

    Testosterone decreases brain 5AR1 and lowers allopregnenolone.

    Yeah, I've thought about making my own GHB from GBL, but even buying GBL can bring the DEA to your door. Regarding the toxicity concern, I was referring to 1,4-BDO, since it's metabolized into acetaldehyde. I never felt any toxicity issues when I've used it, but I'd feel better using GHB.

    Where do you get your GHB? I've taken 1,4-butanediol, but I worry about any potential toxic effects

    The red pill: someone explain this to me

    Bernie didn't keep campaign contributions to fund his personal life, where did you even get that from? That's crazy illegal and there's no evidence of it. It's fair to criticize Bernie for endorsing Hilary before the DNC, and some of his supporters did call him a sellout for this, but to say...
