Is a baseline blood test really necessary before starting something like this?
How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?
Narrow conclusion.
Underdosing and tolerance are indistinguishable from the inside, and everyone picks the flattering explanation.
Stupid question: how do you know whether what is in the vial matches the label at all?
Narrow conclusion.
A plausible mechanism is not an outcome, and this class is the textbook example.
Baseline first. How long have you been on TB-500?
What is the first thing you would read if you were starting from zero?
Narrow conclusion, briefly right. Broad conclusion, interestingly wrong. I know which I keep choosing.
Cold storage, light protection, date on the vial. Boring, removes half the variables.
What is the first thing you would read if you were starting from zero?
Where does the human data stop and the extrapolation begin? That is the whole thread.
An inconclusive account is useful if it stops the next person mistaking a story for a controlled comparison.
