Anyone here actually got better from RU?

Great post , have you tried mineral balancing or just CDs protocol. Supposedly the mineral balancing could reset receptors like progesterone. Or maybe put the body in a place to react to your subsequent RU trail

Progesterone crashed me not too long ago

Aflac,

I have not tried mineral balancing. The only mineral I have taken as part of my daily routine consistently is magnesium. What is mineral balancing? I had read a little about it here on hackstasis but I still need to catch up. Getting my body in a place to react to another RU trial is something that's always on my mind. I mean there was something about where the state that my body was in when I ran the RU for my first time that allowed me to react the way that I did. The obvious thing that comes to my mind was that my diet was on 100 percent point for a long time prior to taking the RU for my first time. It's still pretty good now but not as good as it was during that time. I would be interested in hearing more about the mineral balancing as a possible way to achieve the correct environment for a RU trial.

What kind of Progesterone protocol were you running. Were you running it conjunction with some kind of TRT protocol like I think I see other such as joekool doing? Or was it a standalone Progesterone? Why do you think that the Progesterone made you crash?

Good post but read my posts in @jinstewart thread about RU. I posted multiple studies showing very high doses are needed to make a change to get it across the blood brain barrier along with making lasting improvements with PTSD after ceasing RU. So if you were going to try again you would at least need 800mg (instead of 50mg) per day taken in one dose. Maybe you could try that and see if it sticks better next time

Boris,

I reviewed your posts in jinstewart's thread about the studies and the high RU dosages. I am very interested in what's being done here and jinstewart's trial. Has the idea of setting up a "fund" on this website for people to donate to to fund a trial such as the one jinstewart has done. The before, during and after blood work is really what we need to get the most useful info out of it. Obviously the reason why trials are never done like this is because of the cost of the RU combined with the labs. Maybe everyone would be willing to chip into a fund to cover the cost of one person running a REAL trial such as this one. It's really the most scientific way of doing this and I think as a community we get all around better info from one trial being done like this than from a handful of trials not being done like this. For example from jinstweart's pre and during labs we know that the RU significantly raised his Prog and Cortisol levels. We have speculated before that Cortisol levels would raise during RU but this is confirmation of that speculation. I also feel like Prog raising is a development that we are learning about for our first time. Why did jinstweart's prog levels go up significantly when he took RU? RU blocks the progesterone receptors in woman causing the abortion correct? RU is not working on the blood progeserone levels directly in a way that rasies or lowers progesterone in the blood. So I find it interesting that in jinstweart's case that blocking his progesterone receptors that his body responded by producing more progesterone.... The theory's and ideas that we can develop from this one thing that we learned by having these labs I feel like is huge. Off the top of my head where I am going with this, is PFS an issue with a "progesterone imbalance" in which the endocrine system can no longer "judge" how much progesterone it needs to function and signal the progesterone receptors properly. Is something along these lines the reason why we are seeing jinstweart's endocrine system going crazy by producing a lot more progesterone in response to taking a drug that blocks the progesterone receptors. The body producing more Prog in response to having the Prog receptors blocked seems like something that may happen in everyone who takes Mifepriston but it's still suspicious. My gut feeling tells me that it's not necessarily safe to assume that this would be everyone's response. Maybe if we could find a patterns that shows a different between how PFS people's Prog levels are effected while on Mifepriston and how non PFS people's Prog levels are effected while on Mifepriston we could draw some conclusions?

Maybe if everyone donated a small amount of money a Hackstasis study could take place haha....
