Recently, we launched a steroid analysis service in hair/nails. haidut.me/?p=1858 A get a lot of emails asking for a sample report, so here are some screenshots. The layout may change as we continue to add more steroids to the list, but I think it is OK as a first attempt.

Daily dose (administered once daily, orally): ~15mg/kg vitamin B1 (thiamine), ~30mg/kg vitamin B3 (niacinamide), ~1.5mg/kg vitamin B7 (biotin), and ~15mg/kg aspirin. Not high at all. No known human toxicity at those doses for any of the compounds.

Wrong. Cancer cells do not "thrive" on sugar, they thrive on fat. They "waste" sugar due to oxidizing too much fat (Randle cycle) and uptake more glucose due to its perceived lack (due to the wasting). Sugar deprivation has been tried many times for cancer, failed every time.

However, we are working on synthesizing a phyto-androgen, which is naturally occurring. Hopefully, it can replicate most of what androgens like T, DHT and the non-methylated oxandrolone do, and it should be legal as it is not a steroid (structurally). But I am afraid that if it gets popular enough...they would still try to ban it.
