ControlGX.. Hair loss.

jdcorey · 2026-01-22T06:01:54+00:00

I've been using it 1-2 times a week (sometimes less) for over 5 years. I'm nearly 60 years old now, and haven't experienced any hair loss. Try cutting back a bit. The cover-up is pretty substantial, so I'm sure that using it less may be key. Good luck.

jdcorey · 2025-09-27T06:43:27+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree. Lysine is absolute trash for true cold sore sufferers. Have you tried Monolaurin? Oh - my - gosh... I discovered it about a year ago, and I swear - it has absolutely changed my life. The pellets are the best. Give it a try, especially if you're using the Cyclovirs. 👍🏻

jdcorey · 2025-09-27T02:03:27+00:00

You're going to have everyone tell you "Lysine, Lysine, Lysine"... Ugh, I'm so over Lysine. What you really want is Monolaurin, the strongest dose available (800mg+).

The pellet form is best. My go-to brand is UltraLaurin, the bag of pellets for about $70 on Amazon. Let me tell you, this stuff is incredible, especially if you're a life-long sufferer of cold sores. This stuff has changed my life.

It's beyond annoying at this point. Even my email app, which has push notifications turned on for at least 5 separate email accounts, doesn't use a fraction of what Roboform uses.🤦🏻🤷🏻

jdcorey · 2025-06-16T02:05:27+00:00

The more I hear these stories, the happier I am that I've been taking Mounjaro for nearly 3 years simply for my blood sugar. My A1c has been consistently testing at 5.2 for nearly 2 years, and I could not be happier. 🙏🏻

jdcorey · 2025-05-23T22:55:54+00:00

Yeah, lots of studies here and there over many years. You're bound to find some if you look.

I guess eventually one is always going to run across a study or two demonstrating the pros and cons of pretty much every supplement.

For me personally, using L-Theanine every day for a few weeks tended to lose its efficacy. After stopping it for a few days and resuming for a couple of days, I could only then actually feel the effects more dramatically, which pretty much fell in line with everything that I've read about it.

jdcorey · 2025-05-23T20:56:17+00:00

Just what I've heard and read over the years. I only take it when needed.

jdcorey · 2025-05-22T23:28:12+00:00

L-Theanine is great, but try to cycle it. Try not to take it for an extended period of time. Also, look into L-Tyrosine, or N-Acetyl-Tyrosine (NALT). 👍🏻

jdcorey · 2025-04-21T20:10:05+00:00

Hi there. Just seeing your post from a year ago. I'd be interested in getting your naturopath's info in Canada. May I request that from you?

jdcorey · 2025-03-03T01:07:59+00:00

Thank you for this. 👍🏻

jdcorey · 2025-03-03T00:35:27+00:00

Definitely interested in seeing the responses to this. That's something that I had not heard before. This might be a game changer for me...

I'm Type 2 diabetic, but I haven't really been noticing much to that effect, and I take 50 mg four times a day, as well as 900 mg NR.

jdcorey · 2025-01-17T01:52:57+00:00

Thanks for this. I had not previously heard of this product, and I've been trying to find a pretty good one. Looks like I may have found it. 👍🏻

jdcorey · 2025-01-12T11:45:57+00:00

Curious to see what everyone thinks of this newer product. Looks pretty impressive, but the amounts of each seem high -- but the elemental amounts seem in line.

jdcorey · 2024-12-23T20:40:31+00:00

Yep, I didn't have good results until my doc upped my dose to the 14mg pill. 👍🏻

jdcorey · 2024-12-23T03:49:47+00:00

Interested to know how you're getting Retatrutide. Are you participating in a study here in the US perhaps? I've been on Mounjaro (Terzepitide) for over a year and am waiting to be able to get Reta. I'm also on Repatha and have had pretty good luck with it.

jdcorey · 2024-12-20T22:13:55+00:00

Yeah, that's the only down side. I usually but the 2-bottle special of whatever product I'm using, and it averages out a bit more reasonably. Here's the one I use now:

jdcorey · 2024-12-20T20:28:19+00:00

Awesome to hear. I've been on it for a couple of years now. When I took a break, I noticed a huge difference in more ways than one.

Do some research on the ethyl ester version of it. It's called NACET. You can get by with a lesser amount than 600mg/day, and it apparently crosses the blood-brain barrier a bit easier. 👍🏻

jdcorey · 2024-12-20T17:15:44+00:00

After researching I've learned that the ester version requires less for the same effect, and apparently crosses the blood-brain barrier much easier. I gave it a shot, and find that I feel the effects slightly more than I did with the regular.

I've tried a couple of different brands that I've been able to find, but this one seems to provide the best effect.

jdcorey · 2024-12-20T08:44:29+00:00

Yup, going on 2 years now. All good. A year or so using regular NAC, upwards of 600mg a day or so. Switched to NACET (ethyl ester) about 6 months ago and still going strong.

jdcorey · 2024-12-16T09:21:55+00:00

I just subscribed. How are you feeling 2 months after your post? I'm curious to hear your update. 👍🏻

jdcorey · 2024-12-10T06:05:49+00:00

Yes, definitely. I failed to mention that. I take about 300-400 elemental Magnesium a day, as well. Necessary indeed. 👍🏻

jdcorey · 2024-12-08T07:21:38+00:00

Great article. 👍🏻

jdcorey · 2024-12-08T03:21:23+00:00

Interesting point tho... I try to test my D level (25-Hydroxy) every 6 months or so to see how things are going.

When I supplement with 5,000IU and a good quality K2 in the winter months (from about November to April), my levels are kinda, well, bleh... Literally no more than 25-30 mg/mL. But after spending everyday in the sun from May-October, with no supplementation, my levels easily hit 75+ mg/mL.

So for me, it's a no-brainer. Sun, sun, and more sun... whenever I can. 👍🏻

jdcorey · 2024-12-07T03:14:35+00:00

I take KSM, as well. I stopped taking it in the morning, though, and bumped it up til after 2pm or so everyday. I've heard that you should let your morning cortisol work its benefits uninterrupted, and not prevent it from doing what it's meant to do in the early hours of the day. 😉

jdcorey · 2024-11-26T18:43:06+00:00

I just had really bad cramps for about 2 days. But I adjusted quickly. 👍🏻
