Thanks for the suggestion!
And wow! Today marks the 30th day of my Dianabol ART program - dosing began on on August 7th, 2013 - the very day my ten grams of 99% pure Dianabol arrived by Express mail directly from the Chinese chemical company that manufactured it. After a month I can report results whose accuracy is far better than after only a few weeks.
It also marks the first week of using dual-mode administration: daily doses of 7mg orally and 7mg intranasally taken about a half-hour after awakening.
If I had thought that the first oral-only regime was solving problems - which it was - I was as wrong as the Sun rising in the West.
Combined administration has produced results for both mind and body which have far exceeded any results obtained in those first three weeks. In the last week both physical and mental productivity are through the roof - the washroom cupboards are now cleaned as of this morning, a chore waiting since April to be done. Lights are changed to a whole new system, etc.
Confidence is through the roof and I’m planning new projects at a dizzying pace and implementing them with a dedication and level of organization which I have not seen since before Summer 2008 when I started on Piracetam.
Now for the differences between my customized Dianabol program compared to Testosterone shots or patches in point form:
Positive: The benefits compared to Testosterone
-
I have kept about 80% of my natural production because - even if Dianabol were as suppressive as Testosterone molecule-for-molecule, both its anabolic and its cognition-restoring effects are many times more potent on a milligram basis. I’ve heard numbers as high as 8x relative to Testosterone. The dose of Testosterone required to provide equal anabolic and I presume cognitive effects would be many times higher and thus far more suppressive of my natural production. Having kept such a high level of my own Testosterone production also means I keep my sperm production in case I want to have a kid. Kids are not for me but for many other guys - especially the ever-younger men falling prey to toxin-induced low-Testosterone - fertility is important.
-
I don’t have painful memories and scars from weekly Testosterone injections.
-
Androgen is loaded during the correct phase of my circadian rhythm so it functions optimally with the least possible suppression of my existing Testosterone production. The HPTA axis has its ‘eyes’ mostly closed during the brief 1-hour window after a man wakes up, so it hardly ‘sees’ the extra androgenicity I’m adding. Males are genetically evolved to have a large spike of Testosterone release in the early morning - not to have a high level throughout the day as a depot injection or patch would produce. If the only option was a needle then injections would have to be daily and taken early each morning.
-
My hair is still as it always was with not a trace of recession or increased fallout.
-
Chest is of course still flat as a board - I can’t imagine why filling unoccupied androgen receptors with just enough Dianabol to make up for my Testosterone deficiency would do anything else. What little I take is just barely enough to fill them with almost nothing left over in circulation to aromatize to methyl-Estradiol, which even though it has higher affinity for activating a man’s breast-cells is still so low that there won’t ever be a problem. My body is naturally thin to begin with and I’ve always been dangerously underweight with my current weight at 138lbs on a 6’2" frame - a BMI of 17.7 (underweight). At such a low BMI I have precious few fat cells - they are much more efficient converters of both Testosterone and Dianabol into their corresponding Estradiolic sister molecules.
-
Muscles are no longer constanty painful from the slightest exercise or even heavy exercise so it’s become a plesure to use them fully each day for more than I would have dared a month ago or five years ago. They’ve bulked up a bit too and at the low 7mg dose with virtually no aromatization to methyl-Estradiol the new growth is tight. I feel the tightness every time I walk because as a lifetime cyclist my main muscle development has always been the in the legs. It’s great feeling that was unexpected - they want to be stretched and exercised. It’s strange, like they have minds of their own.
-
Cognition. The place where as much benefit accrued as the rest of my body combined. Intellectual output has shot through the roof and increases daily without significant symptoms of excess such as restlessness, anger, tension, etc. Rather, mood is consistently upbeat and incredibly positive every day with a trend of daily improvement that has not stopped since starting the intranasal component a week ago with minor improvements seen since the beginning of oral use on August 7th.
Neutral: The effects which would likely be the same with equivalent Testosterone supplementation:
-
Appetite. Before starting the program I had poor appetite and stomach stayed ‘full’ for a long time with no new hunger for the entire day until dinner from a single light breakfast - exercise or not. Now I can’t eat enough - exercise or not. A couple hours after a massive breakfast my stomach is literally hurting - ravenously hungry for more food. My shelves are emptying of food at a frightening pace and I’ve had to increase my food budget for next month.
-
Weight. My DNA programs my body to BURN BABY BURN - literally. I wish I was kidding. Every last calorie that I can absorb is burned away faster than I can eat more. It’s always been this way whether I sit still or cycle miles on hilly roads. Now it’s even ‘worse’ if that could be imagined. The new Dianbol-induced hot metabolic fire which roars from morning until late afternoon is burning away those last fat cells even faster along with every single calorie I can dump in. It’s vicious and unforgiving and I feel like I’m running a race against Death itself to inject enough calories. Yet despite this vastly accelerated metabolism the Dianabol’s anabolic function is just powerful enough to hold my existing muscle mass steady. Just barely.
Negative: Now for what I likely would have experienced if the doctor had been ‘nice’ enough to give me the Testosterone shots I foolishly asked him for:
-
Shutdown of natural Testosterone and sperm production to a high degree - many times more than the current program and possibly complete. By today - a month after beginning - the Testosterone would have devastated my natural production of both.
-
Hair recession. The higher Testosterone dose required to produce equivalent anabolic and cognitive benfits would convert to vastly more DHT which would activate whatever hair-loss genes undoubtedly exist in my DNA.
-
Painful weekly injection experiences and the memories of them in mind and muscle.
-
Total dependency on the medicos for weekly injections - the $200/month patch is not covered under my medical plan and was never a financial option. Due to shutdown production I would be highly dependent on the doctors whose carelessness and frank lack of expertise have already pushed their reputation into the toilet in my eyes.
-
Incorrect circadian timing. The weekly injections would produce a continuous Testosterone release or a single once-a-week spike - not only totally abnormal but maximally suppressive of my own production due to the haywire timing.
-
Excessive androgenicity. Dianabol has an Anabolic:Androgenic ratio of at least 2:1 while Testosterone has a 1:1 ratio. I don’t want more facial hair, deeper voice or prostate growth. It doesn’t suit my personality. This is a personal choice that varies by individual. I do want the anabolic and cognitive benefits which Dianabol provides quite nicely as testing has shown. I have seen some increase in androgenicity of personality and other cognitive functions but little to none in other body systems. The increases so far are at the limit of what I will tolerate but in absolute level would be nearly unnoticeable to more typical men. I’m OK with the changes but no more please.
Overall, after a month it’s been a blazing success. Sex functions work as always if not even better and outputs in quantity and quality have not changed since before starting the program. Careful weekly testing has confirmed this.
The only disadvantage to my Dianabol program is that the Dianabol molecule itself with its bulky added Methyl group - CH3: lightweight at just over 15 Atomic Mass Units compared to Dianabol’s total of 300.441 - prevents enough from passing to the brain from general circulation to treat more than about 10% of the cognitive dysfunctions induced by low Testosterone. A human has a very selective blood-brain-barrier which does not allow most molecules to pass through - including charged species and large species. The charged and the large. Though more complex than the size of its holes - let’s just say that it has small pores. Small enough that Dianabol molecules mostly bounce off of it rather than passing through.
This means direct dosing to the brain in addition to systemic dosing is needed. Within the realm of reasonable things that can be done to accomplish this process - I decided based on the need to emulate my natural morning Testosterone spike that the only method which could deliver the needed dose in both amount and speed was intranasal administration. For some strange reason molecules cross into the brain very efficiently using this route of administration. I don’t know why but I know it works like nothing else with its own unique pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
The consequence of nasal administration is the need for pure Dianabol powder because crushing up pills would mean insufflation of large amounts of cutters, fillers, binders, etc. which would induce too much nasal drip reaction which would result in too little absorption and too much drip into the throat and from there the GI tract - sabotaging the purity and function of separate mind/body dosing.
A nasal patch similar to Trimel Corpration’s would likely work too but might have another problem: blood vessels inside the lower nose are more likely to move molecules into systemic circulation than those higher up in the nasal and sinus cavities - negating the original reason for intranasal administration which is fast, direct and exclusive brain delivery.
I intend this entire thread to be a guide for the coming wave of low-Testosterone victims. If my experiences with the disease process - it’s both a process of degeneration and a state of being - are any guide then they will be very glad to hear the good news and know that at least one safe, effective alternative treatment is available. This alternative to the official, standard Testosterone injection/patch works even better and is far cheaper, far more under the patient’s control and best yet is not subject to the yes-or-no of others - the medicos - who so often have no understanding or empathy for those who suffer by my experience.
That’s the only thing really hurting my heart right now and I think about it every day. I think about all the low-Testosterone victims that don’t have any relief. And I think about the others who have all-too-often partial, failed or otherwise dysoptimal relief using the standard medically-approved Testosterone replacement protocol of injections or patches. During my thousands of hours of online research - including hundreds of forum posts - I’ve seen their sad reports over and over again. Many of them. Too many of them.
Over the last hour today clouds which totally covered the sky in grey completely vanished, leaving a brilliant Sun shining in the vast, wide blue sky of my rural valley. Exactly like my life over the last month - not a trace of the darkness and grey remain.
It all burned away under the hot brilliance of a Dianabol star.[/quote]
80% of your natural production huh. I didn’t see earlier the blood tests you must have had done to let you know this, mind posting your before bloods as well as your most recent?
Placebo effect is stronger than 7mg of dbol btw
