It has been a long road. Over the last year or so, I put on ~25lbs which coincided with a lot of water weight. The only thing that seemed to change during this time period was elevated liver enzymes, which would only drop for the following few days after consuming alcohol. I tried for over a...

I’m on my second round of ARL and both times I’ve noticed extreme shedding of all hairs on my head ( even sideburns and back). Any recommendations or rationale as to why this is happening?

Not sure if anyone has seen Nutrafol, but it is a hairloss company and reiterates there is something to balancing out the mineral ratios. The company looks to hit hair loss from multiple fronts, including blocking DHT through Saw Palmetto, but I do think it is interesting to see the...

Ok, after much research and trials, I believe my issues resolve around insulin. There are two things that make me feel good, and by good I mean I'm able to pass a bowel movement within 10-15 minutes of consumption and feel hungry within 30-45 minutes. It's like my body is turning back on. These...

Hello - Over the last six months, I have had liver issues whereas my enzymes are extremely high and the organ itself is enlarged. The only thing that seems to solve this issue, as weird as it may sound, is beer / alcohol. My enzymes return to a normal state for a couple days after drinking, I...

Hi All - Been all over the place the last 6 months and could really use some advice. I have been on the path to recovery and truly feel that I am making great headway except for two stubborn issues. I think they might actually be related to one another and would really appreciate feedback...

Hi All- I’ve seen this before and would be curious if anyone else has noticed a similar trend. When traveling for work, my symptoms tend to disappear when I’m either on the plane or when I’m in a location at higher altitude (Santa Fe, NM). Wasn’t sure if there’s any logic behind a pressurized...

Hi All - Looking for some advice, as the supplements I have been taking this second time around, both with TEI and @Cdsnuts herbs, seem to be acting quite strange. What I mean by that is that it seems like if I don't cycle the magnesium or bethaine hcl, the calming effects I receive from them...

So I have been off any and all supplements lately, while trying to get bloods and hair test and start back at it this summer. The only thing I have added the last few weeks is Bethaine HCL and it dramatically improves all of my symptoms. Is there any reason why? I'm talking the anxiety, brain...

Hi All - Finally got my hairtest completed and would love your thoughts, especially those that have done the TEI tests @m_arch , I believe you mentioned you had some experience there. It looks like I am a slow oxidizer and have a lot of calcium and low magnesium. Any other suggestions would be...

Hi all. As the thread says, I’ve tried two 5AR inhibitors over the last couple of weeks, both unintentionally - didn’t know they were inhibitors but what I’m curious about is why these have made me feel better mentally (brain pressure goes down, as does neck pressure and brain fog). Hell, I’d...

Based off some research I conducted this weekend and prior experience, I was looking for some help as I start getting a bit in over my head. Hopefully the wiser individuals on the forum can help me out here, or at least point me in the right direction. @TubZy @gbolduev @bruschi11 Disclaimer...

Hi Guys - I am going to go ahead and apologize in advance for two things: a) the length of this post and b) there will be a point in this post that I believe everyone reading this will think, "you effing dumbass, why would you do that to yourself, it is a slap in the face to those still...

Hi All - Was talking to my younger brother who tried rogaine and said he noticed side-effects within 15-30 minutes of the first application. What are your thoughts? I told him that the issues for me really started about 3-4 months after use of both rogaine and propecia together, not immediate...

Hi Guys - I created a thread a couple weeks ago about water retention, but I wanted to branch out and see where individuals were buying their hair test, as I'd like to make sure the protocol I am doing is appropriate. I have read that there need to be different protocols for fast or slow...

Hello - I am a long-time lurker, first time poster on this site (will also be asking the same question on swolesource, once I am approved?). Long-story short, I have followed CD's PFS protocol very strictly over the last year and made tremendous gains, so much so that I would've considered...
