In our cohort of 24 subjects, 50% were initially predicted to be responders to minoxidil. However, following 14 days of aspirin administration, only 27% of the subjects were predicted to respond to topical minoxidil.

calcium’s anti-stress effects are almost instant, no other mineral is as dramatically life altering for me. i get it from food.

i like the current style actually. makes the site stand out from every other forum ever created

grow beard or get genioplasty or do both

shoplifting is le based actually.

take the $10 brown pasture raised eggs out from its carton and switch them out with the shitty $3 pufa brown eggs in the store, takes like 20 seconds to swap them. then you only have to pay $3 for high quality eggs

redbull
low dose cypro+bromo
suntan
music
walking

hey man, if you are listening to music with "lyrics" in it i suggest you stop and for some time only listen to electronic & classical music instead. put on some good classic hardstyle and you will feel the spark of life.

lowering parathyroid hormone:
-increase calcium
-increase vitamin d
-increase magnesium
-caffeine
-famotidine

thermometer recommendations are scattered all over the place, some people swearing by mercury devices, others saying infrared or digital etc...

what is the consensus on this issue? what is superior product? (give link)

i can say for myself that i was put off from measuring my temps at first because of the arguments over thermometer inaccuracies on RPF

@onliest
every few months, i bulk until i feel im fat then run DNP for 2-3 weeks and lose 10-15 lbs. im natural so its a real game changer. i used to want to roid, but it turns out DNP is all i need, apparently it also has life extending benefits at lower doses, i think @haidut (?) posted about some rat study on RPF.

Being on 200mgs of DNP feels like having the perfect thyroid dose all the time, my brain is hot, my body is hot, mood is great...all despite the fact that im wasting energy b/c of the DNP mechanism. Only when you push super high doses daily do you risk overheating and lethargy.

stuff i cant live without after discovering peating:
foods: carrot, grass fed ground beef, milk, oj/oj concentrate
supplements: redbull, t3, dnp, cypro

1g phenibut
.5mg cypro
.5mg bromo
OJ
salt
sugar

have you tried antibiotics and also an antifungal soap on your face?
i had a terrible dermatitis breakout 2 weeks ago from something i was applying topically to my face, (im suspecting it was a topical thorne d3/k2 product i had just started using.) my face was super swollen and i had hives under my eyes, on my beard, on my ears.... it was so bad it hurt to even touch the areas.
i had some antibiotics in my house so i took a single dose of "amoxicillin clavulanic acid 875/125" and just sat in the sun all day, diet was ground beef, milk, orange juice, oysters, sardines, coke, supplemented with activated charcoal, bicarbonate and vitamin b1. within 4 days it was gone and now my skin is super smooth and clear, and no marks from the hives.. its like it never happened, just amazing

i used this salicylic acid anti fungal soap on my face during those few days: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FG0IB8C

@Hugh
im drinking close to a gallon of a1 non-organic grocery store milk daily with no issues. i use sugar and cacao power to make homemade chocolate milk. digestion is fine, and my muscles are growing like crazy, it feels just as anabolic (maybe even more) than red meat or eggs, so protein quality is definitely not an issue.

since i drink so much milk i need to make sure thats its not ice cold straight out of the fridge or i can get cold, so i let the milk sit out a bit before making my chocolate milk. also i make sure to get at least one solid red meat meal with lots of salt for dinner.

large glass
2 cups milk
1 tbsp beef gelatin powder
2 tbsp sugar
mix and drink, the gelatin doesnt dissolve but i dont mind the texture, and it tastes nice and sweet
although, i havent had beef gelatin powder in a while now. i need to buy some but last i heard the now foods brand is not good? thats the one i used to use. does anyone know a good brand?

@TopicalsOnBalls said in Topical Solutions on scalp for hair regrowth:

interesting, you’re not concerned of the downstream effects of minoxidil?

im making sure to apply minoxidil away from the times i dermastamp, i wait 24 hours, the systemic aborbtion is very low from what ive read.

i am a little concerned about downstream effects, i think haidut posted on RPF how some people are getting PFS from topical minox which is pretty scary.

ive been on it for a few weeks now and my erections are fine and no sides so far. its by far the most effective pharmaceutical for hairloss and doesnt seem to mess with DHT so im taking the chance.

Unique way to use coke, I’ve read about others getting glucose to the scalp by using a honey mask

honey is too sticky and gets tangled in my hair. i filled a spray bottle with some coke and just spray it on my scalp and massage it in whenever i can remember, its just a convenient way to get some sugar on there.
"Ray Peat: I've been thinking that with a concentrated glucose solution, you could probably activate hair growth just by keeping your scalp moistened with glucose."

overeating ice cream is the fastest way to get fat if thats your goal. its extremely calorie dense & peaty if you get a good brand with minimal additives. it has calcium, a fair bit of protein and most importantly little PUFA. if you want to "cleanbulk" then you will need to track your daily calories and eat around 500 excess calories each day. haidut has posted a few studies on why being a little fat is protective. just search up obesity paradox on RPF

IMO bodybuilding is easiest when you bulk and cut. Being fat (with limit) like 20-25% bodyfat for a year or two (or even longer) is the easiest way to progress in both size and strength.

also losing weight is much easier than gaining muscle. losing weight is especially easy when you have muscle and weight train. if you get too fat you can use mitochondrial uncoupler drugs like DNP or t3 to lose weight fast.
