Very good news concerning Pine Pollen & Deer Antler

I made a post some time ago extolling the use of these natural extracts. Well it seemed to fall short as while they do indeed contain an awesome profile of anabolic and health enhancing substances, oral absorbtion falls far short of making them useful. Even making tinctures using alcohol seemed to fall short. The alcohol may well extract many of the compounds but they still only pass minimally into the blood stream.

Well fortuitously I tore my rotator cuff. I developed bursitis and in the process of researching joint pain & inflammation cures I came accross good old DMSO.

DMSO is a chemical we have all heard of but many may have forgotten as I did.

DMSO is an organic solvent, largely non-toxic with many pleasant health side effects. Relevant to Pine Pollen and Antler is the fact that it transports chemicals through the skin and into the blood stream. In the case of testosterone the valid research indicates it is close to 100% absorbtion.

So if one uses DMSO instead of alcohol then you have a tincture that is better than medical hormone replacement – problem solved.

Be aware this will definitely lead to testicular shutdown so its up to you to determine a suitable administration protocol.

Also DMSO is a double edged sword. While it is non toxic it will transport any toxin directly into your blood. So if you are sloppy about how you use it death & organ damage are a definite possibility, or cancer down the track.

You must take meticulous care to use only pure compounds that do not contain any contaminants, all storage vessels and application utensils must be preferably glass.

No messing about with this stuff as the physiological effect is exacly the same as injection. FDA has all but banned it and consider why – every cannabis, meth & heroin addict would be poisoning themselves to death if it caught on.

My last post was about “Pine Pollen” for replacing testosterone. This one is about replacing growth factor hormones which decline with age just as DHEA & Testosterone do. Specifically I mean IGf1 & IGf2 – that’s insulin like growth factor. Both of these are abundant in Deer Antler Velvet and its best consumed in a tincture just as the Pine Pollen is. In fact there’s no reason why you cant combine both into the same elixir.

What Deer Antler Velvet can do is return your IGf levels back to those of a teenager – hence making you grow. It works and is much cheaper and safer that using synthetic growth hormones. What’s more the decline in growth hormones is a major factor in aging just as the decline in sex hormones is.

Here in New Zealand there is Antler Velvet for sale all over the place.

Basically you can buy the tincture pre-made or get some antler slices or powder and make your own.
