CLA, Pyruvate, and Clitosol are all available over the counter, but not cheap. I understand that L-thyroxine is supposed to start at a much lower dosage, ...
The image of experimentation is of a lab filled with unusual-looking apparatus (retorts, bunsen burners, giant static charge generators). Self-experimentation...
I have a Palm Pilot that I can record my data on and then hotsync to my computer in order to analyse or publish my results. I like the Palm because I can take...
I came across a very interesting article on pain in Harvard Magazine. It is well written and non- technical. It features Harvard researchers talking about the...
Thanks for sharing, Dennis. Very interesting, indeed! I'm printing it out so I can read it at the office tomorrow. ... __________________________________ Start...

Cathy: I have been looking at "Migraine and Other Headaches", by Young and Silberstein, published by the American Academy of Neurology in 2004. Although it has...
Thanks, Dennis. Interesting stuff. One difficulty with the meds is that the ones I know about have side-effects and/or counterindications, so I'd really like...
The book that I mentioned looks REALLY good. It has pretty good discussion of a pretty full range of alternative treatments. In the supplement arena, they...
Thanks, Dennis. I might get the headache book the next time I order from Amazon, although, since I already have several headache books, I might look at it at...
What two or three books on headaches did you like the best ? SAM-e IS expensive. I get mine from Costco, but its nearly $1 per day. I know what you mean about...
I'm curious; do you take SAM-e for joint movement stuff or for depression? I have taken it off and on for mild depression, and it seems to help... that might...
In fact, I think I will try to do this-- an experiment to see how effective SAM-e is for my very mild depression... beginning with 400 mg per day of SAM-e... ...
Hi, everyone, All right. For some reason, Dennis really sparked me to begin this :) I have made out a spreadsheet with the factors I will consider in this...
I have 5 reasons: 1.&2. Arthritic knees (2) 3. Why risk depression ? 4. Moderately heavy load on my liver 5. Mild, medicated ADHD More than enough reason, if...
When this kind of thing is done, the effect is sometimes tested by "reversing" the treatment (A = no treatment, B = treatment). The designs are ABA or ABAB....
Good ideas, here! I will add more "mood checks" throughout the day/night. I have read that SAM-e's effects can show up in as little as four days. For many...
I may be a much less sensitive "instrument" than you, especially when it comes to SELF-awareness. I look forward to hearing results, whichever way they go and...
lol... I'm sure there will be many gaps, but as long as I learn more about what helps with my depression, I guess it's worthwhile. :) I'll let you all know...
Dennis - I'll get back to you on the best of the migraine books I have - sometime. My books are not very accessible right now (too many books, not enough ...
Hi, all, This is a amazing; I guess I'd never put 2 and 2 together until today. I had a bit of caffeine both afternoons, and the highest energy/happiness at...
The concern with caffeine is its longer-term effect. Some say that it reduces brain activity long-term. Long-term effects are hard to study. Dennis C. During ...
lol. That's my problem. I only drink the equivalent of 2 cups of coffee or tea each day, and some days I drink none. Though now I'm thinking I will have...
Hi, all. Dennis got me thinking even more about something that had crossed my own mind... What would happen if I were to reduce my "calorie deficit"? Would I...
Nice to hear from you, Jenny. I'm beginning to think that the best thing one can do is be in the habit of measuring whatever is important and problematic in...
I've been looking into the value of statistics for self-experimenters and have concluded that it is fairly low. Data is obviously important. It is the...
Re: Risks to Self-Experimenters I think most of us are interested in whether particular treatments, legal in the marketplace, work FOR US. In the cases of...
