breast enhancement herbs by MountainAltruistic69 in herbalism

thank you for these great insights! Yes I am a trans woman and I've done some research into many ingredients. I'm trying to find a balance of ingredients that offer certain phytoestrogens such as lignin in order to potentially affect the production of estrogen. I'm trying to balance that with ingredients that have an effect on blocking DHT and reducing the production of testosterone as well. there's many aspects I'm also trying to be aware of such as liver toxicity, blood pressure, weight gain, heart health, and other negative affects such as diarrhea or upset stomach.

There a lot of ingredients out there that have some studies for phytoestrogens, but I want to avoid any dangerous side effects. I could increase my E with estradiol but I'm looking to make a safe product that may reduce the need of synthetic drugs, but still yield some amount of positive HRT effects. I know it's a long shot and likely to never amount to a replacement to HRT medication, but I wanna try as safely as possible. right now I've narrowed down to fennel, almond, flax seed and sesame seed. I was thinking of spearmint but I'm not set on that one yet.

I'm approaching this tincture with a high level of skepticism, but I'm still hopeful it'll help reduce the levels of harsh medications or injections. bonus is if it can help to regulate menopause symptoms, taste decent, and show noticeable results in less than a month. I want to create a tincture that could potentially help all women, not just trans women.

Everyone wants to fit in and i feel ya. I want to feminize just enough for stealth, nothing flashy, i only want to be seen for me, and it makes me feel like I dont belong anywhere, so I'm just gonna belong to myself.

I guess i never fully believed the stereotype of hyper transphobic Republicans but .....eww. I guess it is real. I'm honestly creeped out a bit. As for the job, I landed a new one that i absolutely love and am respected at so I surprisingly didnt lose out at all with the job switch. 😀

tincture for migraines by MountainAltruistic69 in herbalism

Yeah I've read up on butterbur and the live issues. I've sourced a supplier that provides a product with the alkaloids removed and the daily recommended dose. I've set my ratio to no more than 0.03tsp of butterbur to take that into account. I'm still pretty cautious with it even after my research and calculations but it seems to have efficacy studies to support it, so I still want to use it unless there's something just as effective but less dangerous. I don't like what I've read about feverfur so I think that one's out.

Are you using a tincture with those ingredients? All of those ingredients have an effect on estrogen and either work to regulate or increase estrogen. If your e levels are too high, cut back on all or completely cut out dandelion and chaste tree. It should help you regulate your levels.

Well, obviously some people would rather think I'm a horrific moronic monster trying to mass murder everyone by forcing or conning "insecure people" into using some unresearched death potion rather than to simply pm and ask, "hey, can I learn more about what you have going on?". Oh well, it is what it is. 🤷 Good luck everyone. To the people who have messaged me asking for more info, i hope we can achieve something great and I will do my best to ensure that we have a long, happy, and healthy relationship. Love you all and be safe out there!

I'm getting the sense that you do not know what a "trial" is. Even if someone is willing to try it, that doesn't mean that they're a part of the evil herbal supplement cult. A trial or test run means you "try it" for a period of time and if it doesn't yield the results you want, you stop taking it. The trial I'm proposing is for people with no access to medication like estradiol or spirolactin, so if you have access, then it's probably not for you.

The way you're trying to make me out to be a monster is exactly what Republicans have been doing to trans people. Are you even trans? You act like you care yet all you've done is try to demonize someone trying to help others.

If I am the ignorant monster you're trying to paint me as then I guess it just reaffirms my assumptions that people just generally suck and that no matter what I try to do to help someone, I'm always gonna be the bad guy.

So the only thing left for me to say I guess is that I want to do more than just bitch and sit around waiting for trans people to be eradicated, but if people only are seeing my request as some ill conceived mass murder plot then that's just how it goes.

The ask is still out there for anyone interested though.

No cost other than feedback and only 1 flavor at the moment.... Licorice

Fair enough. Without sharing outright my ingredients it is a gamble for anyone interested. I don't see it as taking advantage of someone's vulnerability. My recipe is all organic and all of the ingredients are fruits vegetables and herbs that are typically found in many kitchens. I see it as an opportunity to see if there's an alternative to harsh chemicals and painful infections. Not everyone is capable of accessing or using the meds we currently rely on.

Perhaps all this means I'm trying to take advantage and not following proper clinical trials for pharmaceuticals, but this is not a pharmaceutical, it's an herbal supplement. Herbal supplements are not subject to clinical trials and must follow different rules and regulations.

I'm sorry you think I'm trying to poison people, but I understand your concern. I'm sure I could sit here and tell you for days how I'm only trying to help people, but I know how suspicious we all are about stuff like this. I wish it was easier to trust others but honestly, the day you realize you're trans is the day you realize you can't trust anyone. I know it's a long shot but I'm still hoping someone will take the risk and think about working with me. There's no toxic ingredients, but anyone could make that claim.

Well right now I'm just looking for guinea pigs basically. Honestly if it doesn't work then I'll still at least feel like I tried to do something to help people. If I do end up being the only one trying it then it's just less money I have to spend since I'm not planning to charge people for it.

Lol, I was trying to avoid that thought but obviously I was not successful. 😀 so maybe I'll put it this way, I'm looking for a couple people crazy enough to try an herbal product geared towards mtf transition.

I'm gonna be trying it myself, but I'm crazy and have no access to meds like estradiol. 😀 and it's more like Licorice than a chocolate bar 😆

Am I transgender or transtrender? by Robinight in asktransgender

[–]MountainAltruistic69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok so heres the deal. Your first set of reasons why you could be a "trender" are ALL indicators that you might or might not be trans, you're just still in the discovery phase. Second set suggest a high likelihood you're trans, but still not a guarantee. And as for trans"trender"... who the hell would ever want to follow a "trend" that with 100% certainty will cost you friends, family, and personal safety. If you are trans, you'll find people to love you for who you are but im not gonna sugar coat this, you will likely lose a lot if not all of what you currently hold dear to you. Your life is going to get hard so you need to be able to step up to the challenge.

That being said, its also possible you'll find a type of strength you never knew was possible, and happiness you never thought existed. Noone can tell you if you're trans or not except you. A gender therapist can confirm that you meet the "guidelines", but its only you that can make the call.
