Doctor unwilling to prescribe combined Pill
Hi, my daughter saw her doctor today to discuss the consultants recommendations and while it was agreed she could now take Metformin and Spironolactone the doctor refused to prescribe the combined pill because of her BMI level. He said that as it was over 30 he was not allowed to give it. He said she

Metformin attacks the optic nerve- what is a good alternative?
Hello everyone, I’ve just stumbled across this forum😊. I have been on Metformin for about fifteen years. It’s been good at controlling my weight. But lately I’ve been getting headaches, I knew my eyesight seemed to be getting worse very quickly. I had my eyes tested today, and was told that my eyesight

Skeletal muscle fatigue and post-exertional malaise are key symptoms of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis ( ME/CFS). We have previously shown that AMPK activation and glucose uptake are impaired in primary human skeletal muscle cell cultures derived from patients with ME/CFS in response to electrical pulse stimulation

Shall I seek advice or wait?
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I have been on a plan to help with portion of food to help me. I’ve been on this plan for almost a week. I’ve cut out all sugary foods and drink and have began snacking in fruit and veg. I’ve also started to walk with my step counter. However I feel as it’s not

Curcumin Full Spectrum Liquid Extract - 185x Greater Bioavailability
In the previous discussion on Zyflamend it was revealed that New Chapter changed the formulation and a lot of reviews on Amazon state it is no longer effective. Solgar claims to have developed a liquid extract where just 1 softgel 40 mg is equal to 75 100 mg capsules of standardized curcumin extract.

HGPIN & Statins.
New study below. In a recent thread on 5alpha-reductase inhibitors (e.g. Avodart/Dutasteride), which can dramatically reduce the incidence of indolent low-grade PCa, I posted a study that showed no benefit for men with high-grade PIN [HGPIN]. HGPIN is generally considered to advance to PCa within 12

Metformin
My HbA1c has gone from 46 to 70. My Dr. says I need to start Metformin, but I am reluctant. I hate taking meds - but I'm not stupid. so I will if I have to. Can you share your experiences of Metformin please? It actually looks like a good medication when I have a wee look around the internet.

Deguelin for PTEN-deficient PCa. & an aside on Metformin.
New study below [1]. Perhaps not an easy read - so, apologies in advance. Deguelin is a "naturally occurring insecticide" [2]. PTEN is a tumor suppressor gene that may be silenced in PCa [3]. "Highly selective killing of Pten-null cells can be achieved by deguelin, a natural insecticide. Deguelin eliminates

Re carcinosarcoma
So sorry for taking so long to thank all of you who replied to my post some time ago. I have been agonising over the decision to have debulking surgery or not. I did eventually decide not to have the surgery as the surgeon thaught I could finish up in a worst position due to previous surgery. As I am
