Really good insight as usual. As someone familiar with this space, the American Urological Association (AUA) Testosterone Deficiency Guideline is where every conversation should start. The important pieces are symptoms, deficiency, and medical monitoring for any treatment. But we test people based on symptoms and need, not blanket screening. That’s where the proposed DOD policy goes afoul, through unnecessary (my opinion) population-based screening instead of targeted testing (which we already do) based on symptoms. https://www.auanet.org/guidelines-and-quality/guidelines/testosterone-deficiency-guideline

Proven (moderately) effective and incredibly safe flu vaccine = Bad

BPC-167 and Semax, etc = Good

Zero controlled human trials, but a concerning preclinical safety signal for BPC-167

Yes and now there are flu epidemics at some bases because Hegseth relaxed requirements for flu vaccines.

This is the second report I have seen regarding peptides. This was much more in-depth. Putting Hegseth in charge just gets worse. In too many ways.

“The problems Frueh identified included poor sleep, chronic pain, anger, sexual and intimacy issues, confusion, depression, and suicide.”

I’m glad you mentioned TBIs. That, post-concussion syndrome (which is essentially TBI) and PTSD immediately came to mind as soon as I read that.

Well done, as always!
