Up-to-Date Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19) Information Currently, my entire clinical and research team are working on trying to make sense of the SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 pandemic. We’re constantly in contact with leading experts and doctors working on this issue around the world, and our goal...

Is it possible to take a test now to see if we have been previously exposed to the corona virus? I know a finger prick test is coming soon but I would like to see if I could check sooner in case of any delays. 6 weeks ago I had an unknown viral infection that started out like strep. I ran a...

This preprint explores the effects of Covid-19 on sexual hormone levels in men. The study finds that LH levels are elevated, FSH and testosterone levels are the same. And they hypothesize that Covid-19 impairs testosterone production, so the body boosts LH levels to compensate, bringing...

Melatonin Inhibits NLRP3 Inflammasomes Melatonin is well known for its chronobiotic effects, regulating biological functions tied to circadian rhythms. Numerous studies have revealed that melatonin exerts effects beyond the control of circadian oscillators. The NLRP3 inflammasome is now...

Just curious to the group. Anyone stopping TRT out of an abundance of caution? Higher rate of male deaths? Curious as to what others are doing with this protocol?

Well someone had to ask. Seems like woman do better in survival rate. I read that testosterone has an immunosuppressive effect while estrogen has an immunoenhancing effect on the immune system. Estrogen has been shown to regulate immune response. This enhanced immune reactivity in females...

Maybe one more reason to let your Estrogen levels rise when doing TRT. Although men and women have been infected in roughly equal numbers, researchers found, the death rate among men was 2.8 %, compared with 1.7% among women.... could Estrogen levels be the key to the difference? Link To...
