Quick question, when would be the best time to take antibiotics on this cycle, during the D-bol phase or during the off time, I have an ear infection that will be cleared up with a short course antibiotic, so if its better in the off period, I can wait another week or so. :confused: :confused:


Trained chest today, was a slight increase on bench press, but had to drop reps. Increased reps on dumbell incline presses. Felt a good chest pump, infact chest back and shoulders all feel a bit tight ;)

I would take some lactobacillus acidophilus with your d-bol.
This will strengthen the immune system and keep your bad bacteria in check.

I was under the impression that ear infections clear up on their own.

But if you have an ear infection that wont go away then you can PM me for the over the counter verson of boosting your own immune system using herbs to aid in fighting the infection.
It is in a book at home and I dont have it with me at the moment.

As promised…

With middle ear infections, the recommendation is to wait a few days before taking an antibiotic, and in many cases to use no antibiotic at all. Scientists have recently established a link between an allergy to dairy products and recurrent ear infections. This possibility should be checked before using an antibiotic.
Others seem to think it is from high protein diet.....Go figure?

Using antibiotics in the treatment of earache can predispose the patient to recurrent ear infections. Especially with multiresistant bacteria. For example, children treated with amoxicillin have been shown to be tow to eight times more likely to develop a recurrent infection.

Supplemental therapy:
Echinacea
Nutribiotic grapefruit extract
Mix one OZ white vinegar with 1 oz isopropyl alcohol and rinse three times a day.
Chew xylitol gum to open swollen ear canals
Mullen oil or Mullen garlic ear drops, or turtle island warm ear oil drops or a St. Johns Wart oil drops.
Other drops can include Hydrogen Pyroxide.
Take garlic tabs 4 times a day.
To enhance immune system take liquid chlorophyll three times a day.
Vitamin C 500 mgs for each year of age.
Acidophilus powder or what ever you can get your hands on.

Homeopathic remedies
Chamomilla for irritability
Pulsatilla for mucous
Belladonna for throbbing
Aconite for sudden onset
For excessive ear wax 3 drops of warm olive oil to soften ear wax, flush with syringe of warm water.
Ear candles are good too

Nutritional allergies include
Ellimanate wheat, MSG, food additives, preservatives like sulfides.
Cut back on dairy foods and sugar.

For pain use ice instead of heat.
Onion poultice for pain relief.
Use the onion juice in a cotton swab and place in ear.
Vitamin E oil is good too in the ear.

Cheers for the info hacks.


Yesterday did squats again and managed a 10 kg increase on last week, felt like i could do more but still dont want to hurt knee or hamstring.

Today (friday 8th), felt like it all kicked in during tricep part od workout, managed some good weight and some intense increases in reps on d-bell extensions.

Feeling lower back pumping up quickly, but will really see how that is tomorrow when deadlifting.

Also getting the compartmental syndrome in the anterior tibialis like last time, it eases when i stop walking fast.

Water consumption is still about 3 litres plus other fluids and fizzy water, which would probably bring things up to 5 or 6 litres

Weight is fluctuating between 91.5 kg and 94kg, but definately look more shaped, which is good.


:lift: :lift:

Deadlifts today, pumped out 20 reps with 80kg then moved up to a 1rm (pb) 225 kg, it came up easier than expected.

Lower back feels tight still, would nolva help with this (anti e and water loss) or should i wait another week and suffer a bit?

ONE SMART COOKIE

I`m suprised your suffering so much with water retention on such a low dose....Try having 5 teaspoons of glycerine in 1/2pint of warm water just before bed and see if this helps shift some water...if not up it a teaspoon a night till you get to 10 teaspoons max in 1 pint warm water...should do the trick...

Here is a natural Diuretic.
Dandelion Root - Herbal Diuretic is helpful for edema - swollen ankles and feet - and high blood pressure.

Dandelion root and leaf are widely used in herbal medicines throughout Europe. The leaves are diuretic but also very high in potassium, so they help to compensate for potassium lost with increased urination. Another of nature’s perfect plans.

The bitter compounds in dandelion root help stimulate digestion and are mildly laxative in activity. The roots have been shown to be moderately anti-inflammatory, which supports their traditional use in the treatment of rheumatism.

For centuries, dandelion root has been regarded as an effective, gentle laxative. The roots and leaves are most often used to treat liver conditions such as jaundice and hepatitis, and to encourage normal digestion. The yellow flower also contains beneficial compounds. In fact, all parts of the plant have high concentrations of vitamin A, as well as choline, a B vitamin that stimulates the liver. Dandelion is even being explored as a treatment for cancer and other conditions.

Not sure its really water retention, no visible sign, just a dull ache in the lower back that flares up quite quickly after walking or exercising for a short time

hackskii

Could be a little kidney infection too.

Is your urine normal or foamy, dark?

I dont think nolva helps water retention but a-dex does.
