Have you experienced any negative side effects from taking beta sitosterol if you have ever taken it? If you do not have personal experience, have you read any comments or studirs that it has similar side effects as finasteride? I am trying to add it to my regimen but am a little bit scared because...

Hey Jacob, I am getting dizzy from the array of products :D. But seriously a lot of potentially good ones here and I haven't even made it through the entire list. I've seen the "The-Ultimate-Life-The-Ultimate-Meal-16th-Evolution" before and was intrigued by the ingredients but never pulled the trigg...

I agree that no supplement will make you less stress in and of itself. However, there are supplements that will help you block the effects of the stress like increased cortisol levels or substance P. Ultimately I agree with you though, that you have to get a hold of your emotions and mentality. Perh...

The "Amazing Meal" looks nice but it is about $2 a serving. Although I guess if you use it as a meal replacement it isn't that bad then. After all I don't think you could ever find a meal that nutritious for $2 on the go.

hapyman

That picture freaks you out if you stare at it too long

The severity and frequency dropped within the first week but there was some lingering bouts that seemed to last a couple months longer.

Are you experiencing any of this cue?

hapyman

I had horrible sides on even Saw Palmetto. My sleep was horrible and I was in the worst depressive moods I could remember. It was like being in a funk and no matter what I tried I could not shake out of it.

hapyman

Nice idea medstudent21... NON PERMANENT GLUE!!! Not to take anything away from you but I am surprised I have not seen that brought up before. But that is a great idea.

hapyman

Stress is definitely a major factor. If you are interested just look into stress mediated inflammation aka "Neurogenic Inflammation" through Substance P. I could post some more info if anyone likes. Also chronic infections and stress causes your body to lose minerals and vitamins. For example people...

You'll want to find a power supply that runs 12+ amps @ 3.3V. Certain converted computer supplies are good or you can go with a Meanwell adapter like this one:

hapyman

Yeah there are plenty of decent goggles out there. There is different ratings for the goggles, which will dictate exactly how much light (& what mW) will be able to penetrate them. JDP posted a bunch of different ones awhile ago so I will see if I can pull them up. Also I am sure you know this but j...

hapyman

NOdak is correct. The amount of amps is split between the different "rails" (12V, 5V, 3.3V etc). With the newer model power supplies there is less emphasis on the 3.3V rail because most of the high end computer components demand higher voltages than most of the older style computer components. My ol...

hapyman

If it is just incidental exposure you probably have nothing to worry about. I have been using my cluster for a year and haven't noticed any adverse side effects on my vision. If your diodes are focused there is more of a danger of incidental eye contact. A focused diode will cause more damage at a g...

Just forewarning that numerous people from this board and another have had horrible sheds from minox foam. OMG is one of them. I used regular minox and the same story. Personally, and this is just my opinion, I would stay away from minox. I would hate to become dependent on that crap.

hapyman

Is it neccesary to glue the diodes into the helmet,Ive just pushed in around 280mat the moment and they seem to be holding OK. Just once i diodes been glued,if it fails its sure gonna make a mess of the foamie. A small dab of glue at the top of the diode may just be enough and may not ruin the foam...

hapyman

Edit... I guess they may have used to perform castrations in mental hospitals as a means to control hostile individuals? Wow. Yeah mental hospitals were very barbaric back then. Just look at electro shock therapy. Also they used to drill holes in peoples skulls and perform lobotomies on people with...

hapyman

Yeah he only does it for those not willing to undergo it themselves. For what he charges it is a steal.

hapyman

Why did you add the minox foam?

Anyways good luck with your regiment. Keep us updated.

hapyman

I'd like to ask your opinion on my planned setup if you don't mind. I picked up a 6' piece of 10 gauge cord which I'm going to run from my PSU to my helmet's 'flux capacitor'. (I don't use zones or disconnects because they, well, tend to get disconnected and are kinda a pain in the ass). For just m...

hapyman

I see that OMG isn't going to do it so let me do it for him. If I had $1000 to invest in a helmet I would have him make it for me. There is no way that the lasermax or lazerfish devices could hold a match to a helmet with 300+ 5mW diodes. OMGs design is also better because it guarantees uniform dist...

hapyman

Props to JDP for finding this info. When this question comes up he usually posts this pic, which shows the optimal bio-stimulation peaks. http://www.photobiology.info/Karu_files/Fig3.gif Figure 3 shows that the generalized action spectrum for cell proliferation in the range of 580-860 nm consists of...

hapyman

That is a fantastic idea OMG. Not to mention it would be pretty entertaining.

Good luck to you as well skittles.

hapyman

I just read that the other day and found it very interesting. JDP has posted about this exact thing in the past over at the other site. The Russian scientists are way ahead of the curve on this.

hapyman

Could be that you are shedding because you are in between things. I know when I stopped minox and fin I continued to shed even with using lasers. Took awhile for everything to even out. Hang in there. Like Jacob said you will want to wait at least 6 months and ideally 12 for lasers.

hapyman

At second glance you have very different diodes than what we typically use. They look like a stronger mW version.

Just curious what type are you using?

hapyman

Nice ShaveTail. Looks pretty decent. I like the added features for reflection and eye protection. Eye protection is always a good thing. Just worried about a few things though. Are your lasers diffused? It looks like the caps are still on. Are you planning on just treating that one area depicted by ...

hapyman

What is the optimal gauge wire I should use when I rewire my time-travel device? (Err.. I mean laser helmet). Depends on a few things. How many diodes per wire and length of the wire. For the main connection, coming off of your PSU, I would go with 12 or 14 to be safe. Especially if you plan on hav...

hapyman

I agree I think some people have not always acted in a manner that befitted who they truly are. But you haven't walked in their shoes so you have no idea what some of these guys have been through. I know them more than just based off of the forums and have talked to some of them in private. But I gu...

hapyman

Isn't this all getting a little silly? I mean really can't we all just agree to disagree at some point and stop arguing for the sake of arguing? There is no way that this is ever going to end well no matter the outcome and when it all comes down to it we are all kind of on the same side. Neither Jac...

hapyman

Cool let me know if you have anymore questions. I'd be glad to help you connect the new one.

hapyman

It's a good possibility. OMG had great results using his helmet with his transplant. It will take some months but I bet you get some good small hairs to help fill that area in and make it look more natural. Keep us posted on your results.

hapyman

The lasers will help with the inflammation and the itch. The itch can take a while to fully heal and disperse. For example it took OMG 3 months to get rid of the itch fully. Unfortunately it took me much longer.

hapyman

Hang in there guys. I have been through the same crap and I know it is disheartening. Sheds are always scary. It seems there is a handful of people who shed after adding lasers but this usually stops and is followed by good things. Not sure why some seem to shed and some others seem to not. Who know...

hapyman

It's pretty easy to see what is going on here to the trained eye. One of you guys definitely seems to have a vendetta against OMG. One who joined for the sole reason for commenting on this thread. One whose all 8 posts are in this same thread for that reason. Hey I understand you are sour about bein...

hapyman

Hey Cue,

Just curious. How are you making your Vitamin C topical. I think this is something easy and cheap that most people should try. Especially since people with MPB tend to have lower amounts of endogenous anti-oxidants.

hapyman

Actually skin topicals should be acidic as that is what our skin is naturally.

For example Vitamin C topicals are more effective i.e. better adsorption at pH level of about 5 or 4.

I like the idea though of many people trying out the same topical pre-LLLT though.

hapyman

Just sent one too $\:D/$

hapyman

No. Increased testosterone is not necessarily a bad thing.

hapyman

Or ebay. If you are just starting off go with a 0.5mm roller. It will increase the absorption of your topicals and not cause too much inflammation.

This is the one I got:

Derma-Q 0.5mm MicroNeedle Derma Roller SkinCare & 0.5mm

It's 39.99 with Free S&H

hapyman

Link? I wouldn't mind trying it out again. Just thought it was too expensive. Thanks Jacob.

hapyman

Yes the thin violet wire will be the sensing line as the violet wires are 3.3V. For my power supply the sensing line is a thin orange one but my orange wires are the 3.3V. So just make sure the thinner violet wire is included in what you use. Attach the violet wires to the red wires from your lasers...

hapyman

On a side note , I am running a few different scans now...I am in network security so this feels twice as bad.. :x Yeah I am pretty good with computers too and as a result I seem to think I am always safe. I don't ever run real-time virus scans as I think for the most part they are worthless and re...

hapyman

Nice it seems you are just at the maintenance stages. It may take awhile to bounce back but I bet you are heading in the right direction.

hapyman

Yeah that Jarrow's supplement is nice. Contains both MCP and MAs. However, I have been concentrating mostly on humifulvate for chelation.

hapyman

Yeah that stinks. I am guessing though that this was a password hijacked from a virus or trojan etc. That is unless all those thousands of dollars were debited towards Scalpure or AG. Otherwise neither of those companies have any access to your account beyond what you approve to send to them. They w...

I have Hashimoto's so this an aspect of my hair loss that's of particular interest to me.

Sorry off topic but...

Joanne are you taking Iodine and Selenium to treat your Hashimoto's?

hapyman

If you can't handle the nose I would try the wrist. I can get the same sensations using a diffused diode on the radial artery. This is the same artery used to detect pulse. It is close enough to the surface to get exposed to LLLT. I have a diffuse diode in a bit of foam attached to my wrist with rub...

hapyman

lol I didn't notice that your color coding is right on the sticker in broad daylight :D So I am guessing either their is no sensing wire or it is just bundled with one of the Violet wires. Just make sure you use all of the Violet wires in this case. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f311/hapyman13/2...

hapyman

My multimeter has just packed up...... Joine dthe black and grey wires together and the fans came on so were getting somewhere but it wouldnt light a few diodes up.Maybe I've broken it.I'm getting a new meter of the net as we speak so I can seee if it's kicking out any amps. That is great. Same thi...

Here this looks like a great recipe for a 15% mixture. Compliments of Kassy_A over at the EDS forums Not one hour ago, I shared this recipe with an "EDS" friend, so I'll copy it here for you guys as well. You'll notice in the ingredients, I've incorporated a teaspoon of Remergent DNA in there. The r...
