There was a guy on there...first his name was one thing and then it changed it to Captain Longjack, or something like that, who was doing this stuff. A good, yet long read. Really worth it, I think.

Over time he became a bit disenchanted, due to what linus said, but there is still A LOT of information on that thread. I can't remember what forum it is in, though.

I do remember him being big on ginger chews. He would have one in the morning and one in the afternoon, saying that they lowered his voice. He had to be consistent taking it though, as it was a short-acting fix.

A word on Tribulus... my understanding is that if a female takes too much, it will start to actually causes the body to produce more estrogen. Where is this line? I don't know...I didn't get that far in my research as I came to the conclusion that I didn't want to take the risks associated with going this route. Herbs are just as powerful as western medicine, and people forget that all the time.

Ebon, your list looks like safe stuff to me (well like you said, the DHEA is controversial), but some of the other stuff I have read about, I have wondered about.

I wish you the best of luck, buddy! P.S. What is the name of the guy who was the "guinea pig"? I am assuming that you are following a specific plan?

Never been to the dash site but I keep hearing about it. lol

Yes there is a specific plan designed not to take too much of anything and just enough to see changes over time. I know it's going to take a long time but it's worth the wait. I used to drink heavily so I'm sure my liver would rather have to deal with supplements over alcohol, although I will keep an eye on how it's doing with all of this. I also juice veggies and fruit (almost) everyday to get my correct daily amounts.

Well, if you ever want to check out the thread, send the Gemme!

I wish you the best of luck, my friend. Hears to hoping it keeps working for you!

Linus! Thanks for finding and posting this. I had remembered he had a site, but couldn't find it. I had forgotten about the wayback machine. It is useful to have this site b/c then one doesn't have to wade through that long thread on the dash site to see the shifting reccomendations from this person, plus many people wouldn't consider going back to the dash site for any reason.

I think I will go back to the dash site to see the date of the last post made, as I am curious as to knowing his final, final thoughts on the subject, as they were ever shifting with his meticulous and methodical research.

Thanks again for thinking to seek this out.

P.S. Ebon, if you find you are not getting all you seek with your current regimen, you may want to try some of this.

Just saw this. I might get it just to support and see what it has to say.

I already have it. This is the model that I'm going on.
