I take a quarter of a 1 mg anastrozole once per week. I will probably try to split it next time and do that for a couple of weeks, and then I may eliminate all together And see what happens. Last time I tried this I had tingling breast tissue and became very very warm.
Dbossa, I am a lost cause because my numbers are great? I think you have an incredible amount of experience and information, I just do not agree with all of it.To each his own, live and let live.
Numbers are just a snapshot in time. There are no great numbers. My pre-TRT levels were what some members say they feel good at.
If you’re chasing numbers, buy a calculator.
There is no such thing as great numbers for this.
I agree with you. It is only one data point. But I do feel pretty good man. I’m not some young guy in great shape. I’m 59, smoke just shy of two packs of cigarettes a day which I’m trying to cut down on and quit eventually. I drink 5 to 8 glasses of wine at night. I need to lose about 12 pounds. I think if I cut all that out I’ll feel tremendous. But I haven’t felt this good for 30 years. And I’ll give the no AI one more shot. But the last time I went that way I did not feel as good.
Dbossa, You might be right. It took me a year of playing with things to get to this point. I am starting to think that the body does know how to adjust. I’m just not all the way there yet, and I don’t know if it’ll work for me yet.
@tony6 I deleted that message because I was too harsh. Especially after I read the rest of your replies. So I apologize.
Did you see the video I did with Jordan Grant recently?
Thank you. Not necessary. I grew up in Chicago, the playground was much harsher. Hehe. No issues.
*I think we’re both type A’s And heat up quick. Or at least that’s what my wife and employees tell me. I think they’re right. I called passionate they call it asshole. I totally understand.
Add Italian to that mix and you guys are all fucked lol!
I get it… No worries
I did see the video, and found it very informative, I’m open to the discussion. I know you’re passionate on what you do and I approach my viewpoints with the same conviction.
Did you look at the Google drive with the literature backing up everything we were saying?
I smoked a lot and I can tell you what was the only thing that helped me quit. I bought a very good vape (most are total crap and will leave you saying it doesn’t work). Buy this:
-
Lost Vape Orion DNA Go (it’s very small)
Lost Vape ORION 40W DNA GO -
Then get yourself some 25mg nicotine salt vape juice
The nicotine salt vape juice (vs the normal regular vape juice) hits instantly like a cigarette does and even feels like taking a pull from a cigarette. You can get a flavor that matches your favorite cigarette brand so it’s like you aren’t don’t anything different. Within 2 months you will feel like you haven’t felt in a while and you’ll still have your nicotine fix. Your lungs will feel like you can do cardio again. When you get ready at some point you can ease off the vape and quit nicotine all together. I was married to smoking this was the ONLY thing ever even remotely worked. Otherwise you’ll be like I was and spend the next few years saying you are "cutting back ".
Dexter, no doubt. I did the Vape and went from 12 mg to 9 mg to 6 mg the 3 mg to zero. I did zero for three weeks and was just about ready to stop. And then got into an intense negotiation for a piece of real estate that got extremely tense and send me over the edge of course you’re always looking for reason to grab a cigarette right, and I did it and it got me again. So I’m going to go back on the Vape next week. You are totally right.
Try nicotine salt juice.
Dbossa, I will go back and look at the Google drive. The logic seems to be there, I just need to catch up. And when I start feeling crappy start to doubt. We will see.
I heard that salts had way nic then ciggs, is that wrong? How did you finally cut everything? I need too.
I love this quote: this is how we should look at evidence while trying to uncover the truth. Forget everything you know and read and listen without any preconceived notions. Question your knowledge just as any expert should. We have allot of bias due to our own experiences.
“Therefore, the seeker after the truth is not one who studies the writings of the ancients and, following his natural disposition, puts his trust in them, but rather the one who suspects his faith in them and questions what he gathers from them, the one who submits to argument and demonstration, and not to the sayings of a human being whose nature is fraught with all kinds of imperfection and deficiency. Thus the duty of the man who investigates the writings of scientists, if learning the truth is his goal, is to make himself an enemy of all that he reads, and, applying his mind to the core and margins of its content, attack it from every side. He should also suspect himself as he performs his critical examination of it, so that he may avoid falling into either prejudice or leniency.”[49]
Ibn al-Haytham
The salts are stronger than regular juice but it takes way less to get satisfaction. They act just like cigarettes do.
What the hells that taste like? How’s it dosed ? in a bottle ? I’ll have to google this. I need to quit chewing.
