Insulin Issues

[RebelWithACause]

I think Cialis downregulates NO right? Just like minoxidil. A lot of dudes become dependent on it.

BTW are you the xRedStaRx from bodybuilding.com? I think I read your thread back in the day. Was a fulltime MISCER.

I can vouch for the meat only diets, everytime I try this or something close to I have absolutely 0 hair shedding, hair texture is great, mood is better too . when I ( rarely now ) feel down I think its an inflammation-induced depression, and it doesn't happen while on this diet

Helen won't like that but for reasons Im taking popping every 2/3 weeks since this summer, didn't notice much aside from the the effects it's supposed to have, but I didn't know about those discoveries. thanks for sharing

Meat only worked for me except I had zero libido on it. Mood was OK. It is good first 2 weeks then goes down a lot. More people experienced this. Lower libido, high prolactin, etc. but there are also guys with good hormones on it.

I don't think it works as well unless you have carb intolerance.

gazzillion of people on cialis on propeciahelp. Low dose high dose, 100s of people. they all develop tolerance)) And it does shit for their PFS

because Redstar keeps recommending stuff since he thinks people metabolism is the same))

Meat only diet killed my libido to zero also. since dopamine gets converted further down.

Sit on it for a year and your hair will go, since you will overload on iron and biotin will be zero.


Diets and lifestyles are good for short term. and then balanced diet is the best.


like idiots vegans went on super high potassium copper diet and low protein and crashed zinc b1 and sulfur deficiencies . then they all go on meat only diet, on which they will get cancer if they go too long.

IN russia in most places we have meat only diet)) It ends very bad.


Diets are short term to get into the middle and then you need balanced.


Internet is such an idiotic place. especially with these diets.

In 1995- 2003 it was heavy meat diet. people started to get cancer from low potassium. then it was vegan diet from 2003-2015, people overloaded on copper potassium and sugar, now it is back to b1 zinc sulfur LOL

I don't think it does, and yes I am.

Yeah I agree with that too, I never went for more than a few days on it, so I can't speak for it in the long term
I have veggies / meat everyday and do carbs cycling. Perfect compromise for me at the moment

I get zero libido on it too, I can't survive without carbs and sugar every few hours. Meat only diets is close to fasting, and I only recommended it for a week or two to reset his gut microbiome and insulin receptors.

I don't think PFS is an inflammatory disease, which is why I never recommend it long term. That brings me to another question, did anyone have an autoimmune condition improved with PFS?

--PFS was pretty inflammation increasing for me, esp during crash. And I had no need for inhalers for a bit, but I was also dying so... not really on net positive. --now not using them but at 70 80 and 90% + that's fine. AT 0% health... it's really not beneficial.
--actually maybe at times I did need inhalers, I just remember vaping weed and not wheezing so much.. while crashing. So ya asthma wasn't as severe... but what was about to happen, just like pssd and 20 other things, is way way worse than asthma. I'm canadian - from the cold areas, I've ran in minus 20 many times a bit - sprinted (that's a bitch, hurts a lot).
-But indoors, pretty strong, fit, and fast right now, and since March.
-Last year, so out of shape it was crazy, yet you could see a lot of definition that's bc of 2006-2016 training tho. Not bc of 2017 exercise (there was some, but certainly no sports, running, gym, etc - maybe one time. 2 max). Walks ya a lot but it was hard.
-Now I walk 4 mi like it's a joke, and lift 6-7d a week, but slowing down, bc of injuries, and really who needs to train this much.
-I do it for mental health and not losing my temper.

@Niles and many others will agree, @bruschi11 that anti inflammatory diets helped us tremendously.
-I have food sensitivities but literally eating anything made me suicidal and gain like 20lb of water and or fat last year. With zero digestion... so, inflammation was insanely high.

NO, bud, I got psoriasis on PFS and tons of other people also got it.


50 % of PFS have POIS. tell them how it is not inflammatory. they are helped by aspirin by the way. and some with progesterone. same as PFS>

they are at least 2 cases of PFS.

Im not russian but i know what its like to be on a meat diet.
Youll feel good for about a week maybe, and then after that you really slow down and and get heavy.
Try eating bbq and pecenje (whole pig roasted) for a week and you will crave vegetables like crazy.
I guess it can work for some people but i agree. A mixed, balanced diet is the best. For some people more meat less carbs, for other the opposite but never one without the other.

I was referring to A2-synthesized eicosanoids deficiency specifically. I have reason to believe that there is a COX-1/2 downregulation, partially due to chronic glucocorticoid signalling. Cortisol also induces the transcription of the enzyme prostaglandin D₂ synthase through the MR, so does DHT through AR. Some people lose their hair on PFS, which means their cortisol is not low, and their potassium is high. Some other people like me did not lose a hair more than a year after quitting, and these are the people I believe have GR downregulation, and their COX-1/2 is not working normally. You might find lung asthma in these people get better after crashing, but they can develop other allergic symptoms from Th2-mediated mast cell degranulation, and those are the ones who are usually hypersensitive to histamine and serotonin, where even a shower would have them itch like crazy.

Redstar, I have been saying this for year on this forum. with the GR,

YOU need to understand that all you talk about is slow and fast oxidation. low and high histamine. both of these people have allergic reactions but different ones.




You need to understand also that COX 1/2 inhibitors helps POIS and PFS and 50 percent of PFS people to get rid of all symptoms.

With the GR , you are just saying what i have been saying on this forum for a year.

Also as far as 5AR, 5 AR is high and low in PFS. with high and low allopregnenolone and high and low 3 adiol , this is proven with tests.

high and low allo causes same symptoms.


you will lose your hair with high and low cortisol. If adrenaline goes 2 high, hairloss, if cortisol goes 2 high hairloss


Cortisol blocks HDC, histidine to histamine conversion.

I don't really read a lot of the posts here, so I wouldn't know.

High adrenaline may cause shedding, but not hair loss.

Hairloss will be in any oxidation, high or low. cortisol will cause thinning of the hair. adrenaline and aldosterone will cause horse shoe))

Also I'm curious what routines do you recommend here?

LOL, you have been here for ever)) c'mon and ray peat forum. You have heard of ru486 and all that stuff and ella, and progesterone. etc.

We have been doing this here since Ray Peat



Plus I am fixed from PFS myself.


PFS is a problem far beyond finasteride. People were sick before finasteride.

this is why I rec to go on TEI and get all problems fixed, not some finasteride problems.


Plus we are doing anavar. testosterone with progesterone.

There are gazzillion ways to get rid of symptoms.

I remember reading that removing the medulla from adrenals does not affect hair loss, while the cortex or adrenaloctomy does. Aldosterone causes hairloss through the same pathway that cortisol does, but not likely with physiological levels seeing as cortisol has 10 times the affinity for MR vs GR, and around 100x more. Sodium seems important in controlling hair-loss, lowering insulin resistance through sodium-dependant insulin reception, and ultimately improving calcium and vitamin D status.

Oh, you must be Gboldeuv, did you have a sex change?

Hahah, dude, you know I have changed sex) Stop pretending ))

Yeah, salt is good for hairloss.
