LU 177 and ACT 225 - Trip to Germany looking likely
Looking for the latest updates on LU 177, ACT 225, and anything else I should consider. After reviewing numerous posts on this topic, I am leaning toward Dr. Ezziddin in Homburg or Dr. Baum in Bad Berka. My top concerns are: 1) choosing a clinic that provides great treatment and, 2) getting in as soon

Vit D dosage
Hi - I react badly to Adcal so I’m self dosing with vitamin D. I take 1000 iu plus 200 iu in my daily vitamin pill. Is that ok or too much? Advice is so contradictory I thought I’d check this out with people in the same boat! Thanks 👍

Medical Marijuana for anxiety, where to start?
I have major clinical depression and anxiety, so says my medical charts since a very long time ago. Like some here, I've been on just about everything and then some. It works for me which is obviously good but as you know, there are no free lunches, there are side effects. Given the depth and extent

Can a vasectomy fail?
I had a vasectomy in June this year. Thankfully I took plenty of bed rest and made a speedy recovery from the op. The soerm test after 8 or 12 weeks showed it was clear. I had asked the surgeon if the op could fail and my wife could get pregnant again. He said the rate of vasectomy failures is quite
