@Ismail I'm interested in this too but for bromocriptine. It seems nearly the same as cabergoline but without the heart valve issues and bhpharmadrugs doesn't ship to the US.

I've been reading about acerola supplements. It seems quite common that they are made from unripened acerola cherries. Because at the unripened stage, it contains more vitamin C. I wonder if this is problematic? Reminds me of Ray Peat's reservations about coconut water, pointing out that it's often made using unripe coconuts because they contain more liquid. Instinct tells me consuming unripened fruit, even in dried powder form, aint so smart.

@disfrutarlo The cardihaler looks good. I don't know enough about it without using it. The carbogen machine I have limits the CO2 to 10%, and cake with a mask that makes it inconvenient to sleep with. That was in all likelihood the intent in the design, as the current version pretty much limits usage to something like 15 minutes per session. This was done to limit unforeseen mishaps in extended use. In a sue happy world, imagined unlikely events can be created to drive a nice and healthful idea and product into bankruptcy. I had to modify my already 'unsafe v1 version of the carbogen machine so that I can breathe carbogen the whole night to get the maximum benefits from its unrestricted use.

@Mossy Thank you!

@wester130 thank you very much for sharing. I'll look into it, as I haven't seen it mentioned much.

If it's a tolerable price and you can tightly control the concentrations (at least 2 things in the ingredients could easily kill you) without attracting crippling attention, it's an obvious winner. Maybe reduce the alcohol, replace it with glycerol and add some menthol or citrus extract.

@sunsunsun gracias

@sunsunsun i think so yes.

Here's a good video on blueberries. This guy tested a bunch of different blueberries from German supermarkets and saw some interesting results. For example Anthocyanin content was 7 times higher in some organic brands. And many more,check it out. He also linked a study that showed People with the highest intake of anthocyanins, had a 32% lower chance of dieing and a 38% lower chance of getting heart disease.

@wester130 Not sure why it would be dangerous. I may be mistaking Exemestane for a different compound (anastrozole) - but it may lower IGF-1 levels which is probably not ideal if you're in the normal range already. AFAIK DHEA's main/only concern is aromatization, which Exe does a good job at keeping at bay. It would be best if you knew what your estrogen levels were prior to doing this or at least testing after you're through this to see if you're too high. Odds are you likely won't crash it with 3mg exe. You may consider the whole cycle is "pointless" if you don't have an end goal and reason in mind to take these. I don't expect an already healthy person to see a large upside to this protocol. Maybe I'm wrong and someone else knows better though

I forget where I read this, but purely by memory I recall any granulated sugar, not specifically noted as being "cane sugar", such as Walmart's store brand sugar, is made from beets, which is cheaper to produce because it is beets and not cane sugar. So, I've blindly followed this, and have looked specifically for "cane sugar" on packaging, thinking it to be better. I realize to those more in the know this may simply be stupid, and at the least ignorant, reasoning, but sometimes time and opportunity allow for just winging it on some things, and gleaning what you can when you can. Such as things like this: @cedric said: Polyphenols from sugar cane support Bifidobacteria.

@engineer i am currently doing 7 keto DHEA

"Base: Hydroalcoholic carbomer gel (DMSO-free)" They don't make it clear whether there are other ingredients. If this stuff is actually legitimate, would the DHT absorb well? Without other ingredients?

@sunsunsun yep it has a really short half life too, just from experience, my skin stays yellow and it cakes up / forms a layer on my skin that I can scrape off. So I doubt it absorbs transdermally in ethanol. You could let the ethanol evaporate and dissolve it in DMSO though
