Grainger said only about 2,000 people had suffered any adverse reactions to the
immunization program and that these were mostly minor. GlaxoSmithKline said on
Monday it was working with regulators to understand the case better.

"...only about 2,000 people..."

What a bunch of bullshit. Glaxo doesn't really care if anyone dies from
vaccination it makes a billion off of.

HIV VACCINE STUDY NEWS: THE MORNING AFTER  The Reaction: HIV Community at Odds Over Study Results The results of the RV144 "prime-boost" HIV vaccine study made a tremendous splash in mainstream news and social media last week. But do the data really hold up to the hype? Some top HIV/AIDS organizations are urging the world not to jump to conclusions. "[I]t appears that the statistical significance [of the results] hangs on very few cases of HIV infection," said Treatment Action Group, which in a statement urged "caution in interpreting the findings until more detailed information is available." Other organizations and members of the scientific community responded to the study results enthusiastically. However, none suggested that the study results signify that a fully effective HIV vaccine is right around the corner.  The Context: More Information on This Study Still trying to wrap your head around the major findings of this study? Visit TheBody.com's RV144 page for a range of articles and reactions on the RV144 trial and its results, including: An overview of the study findings and reactions that includes some lesser-known details about the trial, such as the fact that most of the volunteers were not at high risk for HIV, and that the strain of HIV most common in Thailand is not the one that's most common in Europe and the U.S. An in-depth examination of the trial results and their significance, courtesy of a special report from the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative. Frequently asked questions about the trial and an outline of basic study information, both from the U.S. Military HIV Research Program, which partly funded the study. Statements from the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition (which reacted very positively to the findings) and Treatment Action Group (which was much more tempered in its response).

Sorry if I came across as if you were promoting it.  I was just adding my
2-cents : )  As you stated, if we can manage our insulin with nutrients (Fish
oil etc) and LOW-glycemic diets we can enhance our "anabolic capabilities" as
well as reduce the diseases that kill us every day.

Thanks for the great info!!


  I'm not promoting using insulin itself. I'm promoting eating right to improve
insulin sensitivity or taking some supplements like fish oil and vitamin D that
improve insulin sensitivity.

Hi guys--

Can anybody recommend a good doctor for Sculptra in Portland, Oregon?  I just
moved here from New Orleans and don't have a clue.  A nurse practitioner in New
Orleans told me that "anybody" can do it, "it's not rocket science", but I feel
that the aesthetics do play a big part in the end results, so I'm looking for a
doc who knows his stuff.  Thanks.....Mike

>Yes, of course you would still qualify : )  In a way APS is offering this deal
to educate patients and physicians regarding the insufficient absorption of
lower-dosed testosterone creams.  In answer to your first question, Androgel is
low-dosed brand while a compounding pharmacy has the capabilities to make a gel
or topical at any strength the doctor prescribes.  Typically Androgel is dosed
at 1%, which means 10mg per ML.  The body, on average, absorbs topical
medication at 10% the dose.  So, in other words, if you take 10mg of
testosterone you will absorb roughly 1mg.  If we want our T levels in the
optimal range (700ng-1200ng) then we require 10mg per day or ~100mg per week
(injection).  Some require more.  This means that if you want to apply T
topically you need roughly 100mg (10%) applied to your skin to absorb the 10mg
needed to keep your levels elevated.  In review of patients bloodwork, I have
seen many patients who even require 200mg of cream to acheive optimal levels.

Forgive my rambling....hope this answers your question!!

Yes, it can cause more fat accrual. Insulin is anabolic to fat, too.

While the numbers are small, the trial was huge and the results were
statistically significant.

At least it wasn't bad news   But, I agree that coverage has been a
bit exaggerated.

I think it important to remember that all vaccine trials and
prevention trials will probably have similarly small of new infections
to compare, because you are testing vaccine against nearly ideal safer
sex practices, which are highly effective, themselves.

I'm hoping that this is the beginning of good news on the HIV vaccine
front

Even a vaccine producing 30% immunity would be useful in some
populations.

Whenever I take GH I just get sinewy and skinny (although I burn fat well on
it).

Studies I have read indicate that HGH has nothing to do with strength gains, and
is not that anabolic/anti-catabolic.  It seems to be an anabolic potentiator for
other steroids, but this increase is so minimal its not worth the side effects
or the money.

If you want the benefit of fat-burning I think Sermorelin or Tesermorelin will
provide the same benefits, at a fraction of the cost and no side-effects.

Just my opinion : )
