Picked up the diclofenac in the mail yesterday and tried the first dose.

I used about a third of what the dose card it comes with says to use on the upper body on my scalp.

No side effects noticed. No tinnitus. It felt "cooling" on the scalp, and no joke, almost like I could feel the anti-inflammatory action after 20 minutes. Scalp felt good.

That said, I'm going to be super cautious with this stuff. I probably won't use it every day. Maybe every other day, and take a week off every three weeks.

I'm also going to take oral castor oil after each dose, took some last night. 2.5 ml to 5 ml. Assuming PGD2 has a big role in hair loss, my PGD2 should be lowered significantly while PGE2 is boosted, allowing regrowth. I'm also using castor oil topically.

I doubt it. Once they're onto solid foods I'd say it's safe. Obviously don't go overboard.

They also say this about adults. "Limit salt intake to avoid heart attack". "Low salt diet is healthier". It's the opposite. Low salt intake has higher deaths in cvd patients. Higher salt intake has lower deaths. Our heart and muscles need salt to function. I would say a large portion of people eat way too little salt, and would be healthier if they increased their intake.

Almost everything is opposite world with mainstream institutions. They do not want us to be healthy.

@BearWithMe

How much did you use? Be honest.

@BearWithMe

That guy said he was using HANDFULS of it on his neck and rubbing it around his ears. He's a fucking retard. Overdosed himself.

The normal dosage for on the body is very small. He said for Voltaren it's a penny size. The directions on some of the others said a line as long as your first knuckle. For being applied to the head, the dose should be even smaller I think, which is what I already planned to do. The studies where the old men regrew hair, they were just using it on the spots with actinic keratosis. So not using very much I'd guess.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't those studies applying the diclofenac inside the ears? That's also how the gentamicin causes the damage too, no? Which is also reversible if stopped in half the cases, I read. Other NSAIDs, Aspirin (yes our beloved aspirin), Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Advil, etc. also cause ototoxicity at high doses, but it seems it's often transient from what I read.

How much did you apply to your head? How long did the tinnitus last?

I'm still going to try it, but I'll be even more cautious than I was planning to be. If I notice any side effects or tinnitus, I'll throw it in the trash.

I also key word searched through all the Amazon listings with lots of reviews, no one said anything about hearing loss or tinnitus. If I know one thing about Amazon reviewers, it is that they will complain about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in a review, if they even slightly perceive that it was caused by the product they bought. Millions of people use this stuff and it's sold without prescription, I think it's safe to say it's fairly safe as long as you don't overdose, but if you noticed sides at a normal dose, you personally probably shouldn't use it.

I'll let you know how it goes.

@wester130

From topical?

I ordered some diclofenac gel from Amazon. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

@yerrag

Eloquently said. Yes, usually when a circle gets invaded by outsiders, it is threatened with destruction. For example, when video games, which was a predominantly white straight male nerd hobby, was invaded by females and gays.

We must defend the integrity of Peats work from the Mongol Hordes as autistically as gamers defend gaming.

@pondfountain

Peat is mentioned thousands of times a day all over social media. Not like he's some kept secret that a few hundred people know about at this point. I mean, his ideas have spread so far that RFK Jr. is taking ideas he popularized and is going to ban seed oils through his role at the Department of Health, among many other things.

I would definitely credit 4chan with being a big key in what helped popularize him and his ideas though. It was the first place I heard about him, and it pissed me off to be honest. It was a discussion on fitness and nutrition and someone said fish oil was bad and cited Peat. I was mad because I was taking tons of fish oil because that's one of the things all the gym bros said to take. Didn't want to admit I had maybe been damaging my health and had wasted money on it.

I eventually came around.

@Mossy

Isn't that the best one though? based on the studies

@BearWithMe the gels on amazon are Diclofenac sodium 1%
