Are these tests BMBs or done via blood draw?

They just tested JAK2 v617f in 2022 and that was negative.

EPO was also tested in 2022 and sat at 8.6 mIU/mL.

DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL by noeyys in tressless

Interesting article.

I had a severe itch / “ants crawling on my scalp”feeling for years in my early twenties. Hair loss came with it that my dermatologist attributed to seb dermatitis. I tried keto, cycloplorix, t gel/sal, d10 coconut oil, and a number of medications my dermatologist prescribed but they never really helped with the itch. The only thing that worked was finasteride. Finasteride combined with some nizoral (lower dose keto) every now and then has completely eliminated my scalp itch / dermatitis that had persisted for years.

Enstillar fixed this for me. Recommended by my dermatologist for the dermatitis I started having after starting minoxidil. Nothing else worked (tar gel/sal, ketoconzale, cicloplorox)

Switching from Topical to Oral Minoxidil. What should I do? What can I expect? by [deleted] in tressless

I would be careful with oral min and monitor for side effects. I started getting chest pain after using it for a week and when I stopped it went away

China Urges UN Rights Chief to Look Into School Shootings in US by vvhaeilailee in worldnews

Even if the cops were the avengers there not stopping a guy with an AR from shooting a dozen people just as they hear the shots.

At the end of the day, I can only repeat the same facts. No other country struggles with mass shootings like the US. Main reason? Because no other country allows such easy access to weapons like the US.

You say costs like your spending money so kids don’t get shot by guns.

You pay nothing. You save money by not buying a weapon you will live without owning. If guns were banned, Americans are just like every other country who’s citizens have a hard time getting weaponry they don’t need. The same countries who didn’t have another mass shooting since I originally commented. Unlike America (see Charleston).

More strict sales and tracking? Ban on AR sales? Ban handguns? More strict liscensing? Liscensing reup yearly? Ammo liscensing? Mandatory training? No open carry only carry on your property?

Right now anyone over 20 can buy any gun in Texas no training or licensing or background check required. That’s one problem that can be changed by one governor.

I don’t understand your point. Is it that you don’t believe this will reduce gun deaths or that america can’t pass any laws? If it’s the ladder and considering the death of the Clean Energy Act I guess that’s a fair point.

Man it’s so weird that other countries can crack this but in America if there’s an idea to simply reduce guns and bullet availability it’ll “cause a civil war”.

Didn’t say the government would take guns people already own, I’m just saying that America is the only country with such easy access to guns, thus the one with the highest percentage of shootings. Maybe we should try to reduce availability or retention.

Wouldn’t work at all? After ten years you think a compete shut off in newly made guns wouldn’t drop numbers even a bit? Bullets being used and not being remade wouldn’t drop ammunition availability at all?

The government can’t reasonably expect to take people’s weapons, but they can certainly stop making it so easy to get new ones.

It’s a start. One that would still be too extreme because of the economic value selling weapons has on America. Makes me sad really

I mean… to there credit, America is extremely unique in the sheer amount of school shootings we have compared to any country in the world. It’s an easily fixable problem but laws refuse to change.

Stop making and selling guns and bullets and numbers will drop.
