Hey guys, new to the forum.
quick summary of me and why I'm doing this:
I'm a PFS sufferer and I made a lot of progress in fixing my issues. I would consider myself halfway cured now.
I take thyroid, pregnanlone, used to take DHEA, calcium. daily carrots. Cascara, Low pufa diet. My waking temp is 36.7 and its 36.9 after breakfast. all these things helped fix my issues.
my libido and erections however, even though they got a lot better, are still here and there. Kind of just halfway fixed, and its variable a lot. I have some good days where I feel like I'm basically almost back to normal in that area and days where its pretty bad.
anyways, I noticed that DHEA and preg and also progesterone too, can really boost my libido sometimes. DHEA in particular does it a lot if other things are good. DHEA also helped me regain lot of lost penile length and girth and increased my low semen production.
So that made me think that maybe for me androgens are the missing link to my recovery.
I also remember years ago before I knew about Ray, I was prescribed testosterone by a doctor and took it. but it was a high dose and a mix of different esters and I took it intermuscularly. That actually cured my penile issues for a few days until the estrogen caught up with me and I crashed really bad.
So remembering that also added evidence to my theory that maybe i just need more androgens.
So I decided to pursue that avenue a little bit more and try to make my own T and DHT supplement that is ester free, has no added toxins, I can take it orally or on the skin instead of inject it and I can take low doses of it.
End of summary
So I bought some T and DHT powders, and I'm trying to create a supplement at home.
I was planning to use ethanol as a solvent for both, and take the supplement with a dropper, but the problem is that its illegal to buy alcohol where I live so I couldn't get any ethanol, even for lab use.
now I'm trying to think of other ways to dissolve the powders...
currently I'm considering these two options, I don't know if they are any good:
1- 25ml DMSO/5ml of liquid glycerin mix it up and add it to the powder to dissolve it.
2- 25ml of MCT oil/5ml of liquid glycerin mix them up and add to powder to dissolve.
I have heard mixed things about the safety of DMSO and heard that MCT oil has bad absorption rates. Also read that T and DHT can be hard to dissolve in these solvents. So, not sure what to do.
I'm hoping someone here who knows more about this can give me some guidance.
