FDA investigating Metformin for Carcinogens
The investigation by the FDA of Metformin (probably the most investigated drug of all time given its long history for use with Type 2 diabetes) for the carcinogen NMDA is of some concern given the plethora of generic manufacturers of this drug, especially from India and China. NDMA or NMN is usually

baking soda for frequent urination after RT
I would like to know opinion of our members regarding use of baking soda for reducing frequent urination and burning feeling.....being well aware of snake oil beliefs. In my small experience, thinking well it may be snake oil, I was having every hour night urination with burning sensation after 20

Can low dose NDT cause high cortisol? Insomnia?
First time taking low dose NDT and I preciously had a “somewhat high” 22 a.m. cortisol reading (I have adrenal PCOS with the Hashi’s). I’m 2.5 weeks into treatment and I’m having even worse problems falling asleep! Last 3 nights I’ve been waking up between 4-5 a.m. Exhausted, moody and sick. Could it

Metformin prescription
My Uro and my general doctors refused to prescribe metformin for me since I am not a diabetic. I was thinking of trying it as a last resort to see if it can stable the psa progression. Has anyone faced the same situation or know how and where I can get a prescription to try it for 3 months. Thank you

Information wanted for blood sugar levels
Hello I am writing this for my husband who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about a year ago. He is 80 and was prescribed Metformin as he did not want to drastically change his diet. The first medication did not suit him so they changed it to slow release and that was better. However over the past

Cycle 2 on metformin
Just wanted to share my progress on metformin. Once again it appears I might ovulate this cycle. I’m trying not to have any expectations this time and I have been less stressed out this cycle, probably because I haven’t been obsessing too much over tracking all my symptoms and temperatures. Hope everyone

It's never too late
Smoking was killing me, and on top of that I was paying a fortune to have a slow suicide, well thank God I was able to stop 12 years ago. Since then my life changed so much, I did put extra weight on but more about that later. Before I stopped smoking I was smoking 180 cigarettes a week, which I couldn't
