@pannacottas No it was a popular quote-on-quote "supplier" from Xitter who advertises very heavily to peatosphere folks with testimonials, bloodwork, etc. I won't say exactly who because I got harassed by randoms last time I made this claim. I'm not certain what exactly I got but it was very disappointing compared to haidut's androsterone, or even just pansterone, and this product was allegedly dosed much higher than what I have used of either of those.

It seemed simultaneously to be suppressive but not really apparent in effect, possibly just grossly underdosed. Or, I suppose it's possible that it was just testosterone in DMSO, which seems most likely to be honest.

Less obvious response to a DHT product than I get from androsterone dosed lower by mg. Also more suppression.
Though, I'm fairly sure that the DHT product I got is a scam and has something else entirely in it.
Regardless, I would recommend androsterone for raising DHT. It does not seem to be suppressive, and in fact I get the impression that it elevates my natural production of steroids via its thyroid-like action.

just take some androsterone lol you will be fine.

@PunkinEater drop diphenhydramine for Cyproheptadine. Less side effects and better for fixing serotonin system dysfunction.

Low doses of Cyproheptadine. (Work your way up from .5 to 2mg /night)

Progest-E

Thiamine (recommend benfothiamine)

Egg Yolks

Cook with coconut oil

Fresh fruit

Oh no. “A former user.” I guess the gangstalkers got him for getting too close to the truth.

Fiancé typically experiences terrible cramps and pain far beyond what is normal. On a whim I decided to try administering 1mg androsterone to her (navel route) nightly throughout her cycle. This is following a post from @haidut claiming that <15mg of DHT is not virilizing for women.

This seems to have been a success, as she has now had a normal period without severe pain.

Previous to this, (about 3 cycles before) we began to try limiting her PUFA intake more severely and increasing sat fat intake, while also administering Progest-E. I’m sure has also helped, but it wasn’t until the inclusion of androsterone that she achieved seeming total remission of symptoms.

There have been no virilizing effects to speak of.

I suspect the andro has achieved this either by improving her liver function (and clearance of estrogens) and/or has simply lowered estrogen enough on its own. Either way, this is a pretty huge win for us and I thought would be worth sharing for anyone else who suffers from this.

@ilovethesea really hard to believe that a person can actually look like that LOL

@C-Mex said in New "Mission" of RPF:

I'll be suspicious of some more 'concrete' thing show up later related to this, because nothing has been posted here other than innuendo, and I fail to see how there is any connection to a Business address to any entity that may have searched it. My god there must be countless numbers of searches on every health-related website there is.. Ridiculous. I have to wonder now if they're going to try to create some kind of phony 'record' to try to explain how the Ray Peat Forum shares a business address with the Wellcome Trust.

This paragraph is, definitionally, “pre-bunking” btw. Lol. Did you have an account on RPF?

@C-Mex the fate of every dissident sphere is to be shunted down the path of schizophrenia, spurred on by bad actors. Happened to RPF. Happening here. I mentioned earlier in the thread that I’ve seen this happen many times.

Last thing I’ll say on the subject, but as someone who is educated in internet infrastructure, I think it’s very very possible that an AI is scraping user content and arbitrarily (or by some opaque parameter) deciding on a site’s address without any good reason.

In fairness, it’s totally possible that I’m wrong. I just really doubt it. Occam’s razor and all.
