Labs are back

[Guest guest]

After 6 months of treatment my labs are back and the results are as

follows:

Total T: 719.0 (240-950) Up from 221

Free T: 31.6 (9-30) up from 2.1

PSA: 0.7 ( 0-4.0)

Cre .8 (.8-1.2)

Bun/Cre 16.0 (10-20)

Albumin 4.6 (3.0-5.0)

Alb/Glob 1.5 (1.1-1.8)

Doctor is diagnosing slight liver issues and possible polycythemia

because of the increase in HGB and HCT. I understand that this can

be a common issue with some folks, and it is worse on cyp than on

gels. I am a smoker so I smoked my last cig about an hour ago (I've

quit before I'll do it again!) and I also understand that some folks

do what is called theraputic phlebotomy (give blood regularly) in

order to cope with the poly. I've also read that taking a blood

thinner such as naproxet is an additional approach.

My girlfriend is a MAJOR fan of homeopathic medecin, thus a trip to

the natural food and supplement store yesterday had me pick up

several things including DimSum, Gaba, Milk Thistle, Beta-

Sitosterol, " Liver Care " (a collection of herbs??) and Omega 3 fatty

acids.

She has banned me from buying beef unless it is hormone and

antibiotic free, and then only once a month, egg beaters, fat free

half and half, and tons of chicken and turkey... Add a return to the

gym since summer os over (3 days cardio only 3 days resistance

training), and I'm hoping to turn most of this around in 3 months or

so.

From the above, does anyone see anything else I should be paying

attention to?? Is there anything else I should be doing?? I'm

already making some fairly major lifestyle alterations May as well

get them all in at once.

Thanks in advance folks

It doesn't look too bad there. Just a couple of things. When was the blood draw

in relation to your shot? Your E2 is starting to get up there a little. You

might consider talking to your Dr. about that and taking some DIM or an AI. Lean

beef doesn't have that much of an effect on your lipids. Carbs will effect your

lipids(and organs) much more. That doesn't mean you can eat greasy cheeseburgers

all the time and be okay. They are some very lean cuts of beef that are very

good. There are also some very lean pork cuts too. You probably are better off

with fish, chicken, and turkey but lean beef and pork a few times a week aren't

going to hurt. Just my 2 cents.

The grain thing is a surprise to me. I'm not on a low fat diet, but I avoid most

fats by nature although this summer was a fat induced nightmare of constant

grilling.

Part of the plan if much more fish and omega 3 plus possibly cold pressed flax

seed oil. Aside from the fryer everything here is olive oil right down to the

margarine. And as for red meat. I'll still have it once or twice a month but not

4 times a week like now.

I do appreciate the suggestions.

Re: Labs are back

Hi Randy,

Your testosterone is looking good to me. But your lipids are another

matter. Your good protective HDL is extremely low, I would imagine

your most protective marker, your HDL2 subfraction would be

dangerously low. Your triglycerides and LDL are rather high, have you

had your thyroid checked? If not that, are you on a low fat diet or

eat a lot of grains (bread, cookies, crackers, bagels, pretezels,

Raisin Bran, etc? That can really ruin your HDL, you should be

including high dose fish oil, with olive oil on your salad, eat lots

of vegetables and protein, etc. That will bring down your

triglycerides and raise your HDL, so much so you will be stunned.

Be well, Neil

Your numbers look pretty good. You might try a little DIM to reduce

your E2 just a hair. Also giving blood is usually enough to deal with

the Hemoglobin issues that come with TRT.

[Guest guest]

You might try some Carlson cod liver oil instead of the flax. It is a very good

balance for the heart.

Hi Randy,

I believe we are brainwashed into thinking grains are healthy, but

grains are a relatively new thing for mankind. I used to eat a big

bowl of Raisin Bran with skim milk and thought I was doing my body

good. My HDL was 29....fast forward a bit....I had a heart attack at

the age of 46.

Grains=sugar. You can eat a piece of whole grain whatever, wait an

hour and take your blood sugar. It will be through the roof. In many

instances grains raise your blood sugar faster than if you ate right

out of the sugar bowl.

Now my HDL is 71, my HDL2 is way up there too. My views are not

fringe, there is real science to support my position. This

cardiologist, Dr. , has all his patients get off grains and gives

them big doses of fish oil (I take 6,000 DHA+EPA daily, that would be

about 20 regular fish oil capsules, but I use a liquid Carlson's

prep.) and uses olive oil, etc, in his treatment. He sees HUGE

improvements in their CT heart scan scores, yes often actual

regression of plaque.

Hey Randy,

 

First - how do you feel - don't go just by numbers - libido, erections.......

 

Overall things look pretty good - you should quit smoking - you know that but

the issue with donating blood is a win-win - based on your numbers you are

borderline high and should donate every 2 months (whole blood) to keep your

blood thin. If you can tolerate aspirin - take a low dose daily and if you have

high E2 issues, consider arimidex.

 

Just my 2 cents - Arkansas

Neil,

So sounds like atkin had some truth to it! I'm now stuck with the issue of what

to eat. Sounds like I should be living off of muscle milk shakes and bananas and

fish. Not sure what's left any more except pure protein. Are there any sites

that are good with the dietary advice based on this??

Dr. Ron Rosedale has a book to sell but there is some pretty good information

here. Long read.

Re: Labs are back

Hi Randy,

I believe we are brainwashed into thinking grains are healthy, but

grains are a relatively new thing for mankind. I used to eat a big

bowl of Raisin Bran with skim milk and thought I was doing my body

good. My HDL was 29....fast forward a bit....I had a heart attack at

the age of 46.

Grains=sugar. You can eat a piece of whole grain whatever, wait an

hour and take your blood sugar. It will be through the roof. In many

instances grains raise your blood sugar faster than if you ate right

out of the sugar bowl.

Now my HDL is 71, my HDL2 is way up there too. My views are not

fringe, there is real science to support my position. This

cardiologist, Dr. , has all his patients get off grains and gives

them big doses of fish oil (I take 6,000 DHA+EPA daily, that would be

about 20 regular fish oil capsules, but I use a liquid Carlson's

prep.) and uses olive oil, etc, in his treatment. He sees HUGE

improvements in their CT heart scan scores, yes often actual

regression of plaque.

Feel well,
