Title: Does deca really improve immune function?
Post by: theworm on November 10, 2013, 04:06:03 PM
Keep hearing how deca improves the immune system, also by increasing cd8 cells etc, but has anyone ever experienced this?  Ie not ever getting sick while running deca?

My recovery is through the roof when I cruise with deca and blast with sweet potatoes.

Seriously though it's awesome.

I got the worst flu of my life on 750 deca.  A brutal 10-day gastrointestinal thing that had me on the toilet 10-20x a day.

Epic sample size, but that's my anecdotal evidence for ya

Not sure if this related or not but a guy I know very well is taking about 700mg/week of Deca (+ the same amount of test) and had an emergency root canal.  Afterwards, though given prescriptions for vicodin, motrin, and amoxicillin, he was pleased to find out there was virtually no pain so he didn't take any of that stuff.

Good for him and point made. Not sure about pain but He should at least have taken the amoxicillin to prevent potential infections. He did not and came out ok.

For me the difference comes down to whether I wanna look dry or not.

Winter time = deca seasons

Summer time = EQ season.

Right on the money. My experience with Deca is never use it in isolation. Always stack with an androgen. Not the case with EQ.

would be nice if that were the case but I really doubt it. Although it can't negatively affect it much or they wouldn't have given it to AIDS patients for so long.

it kept me strong and relatively pain free on my HRT dose (had a script for 200mg week before they killed the Florida clinics) but it always makes me look especially bloofy even in low doses. Something weird happens with my subQ water an in a couple of weeks I literally lose every vein on my body

Just reading in the clinical trials with deca and HIV patients...   I wouldn't call double blind studies "Kool Aide"... 

Increasing CD8 cells could lead to anti viral effects

Takes more than disrupting CD4/CD8  ratio to alter immune function. Deca does nothing to alter viral load. Additionally there is much less information on exactly if it even alters adaptive vs. innate immunity.

You try the Kool-Aide?

For the average gym rat running moderate doses I don't understand why more wouldn't do the exact opposite. I mean, a lot of guys "bulk" with stuff that increases bloat and end up using ais anyway. For someone eating a lot of carbs/cals when trying to put on weight you'd be able to stay looking better, for much longer with something like eq as opposed to deca.

And if you diet with keto/low carbs/cals the water retaining steroids will help in keeping fullness and training intensity which will come in handy during periods of near starvation...

Eq is the weakest injectable there is lol.  Guys run it because they're usually on 5 other compounds and can't even notice the difference.  If you're gonna use eq prepare to use 900+ mgs for like 30 weeks and get ready to give blood every other month and possibly never want to have sex again along with the possibility of blowing your GABA receptors down the drain lol.  And that's if u actually get real eq.

This is why I'm running this on its own to see if it does anything at all.

bro are you absolutely sure your eq is eq and not test? smell the two, one should smell different than the other. Does the eq smell like leather?

EQ doesn't shut you down like deca dick, it makes you asexual. best eq I ever ran....Eva mendez could of been on my bed and I would rather posted on getbig. fucked me up pretty good.

the guy who mentioned equipoise effecting GABA production in the brain can you go into more detail about this? Curious if van could get some info on the subject. Jizzacked who posts here, also mentioned something about eq killing his sex drive.

This is a very real side effect of EQ by the way, effects alot of people.

I dont have any first hand accounts of eq affecting gaba in the brain but ive heard of guys who megadosed it having issues in that department someone here with more knowledge can elaborate on this.  if you have real eq you dont want to have sex, you can but u dont want to.  eq is not worth it all in my opinion

Dan Duchaine wrote that Deca helped the immune system. I haven't researched this myself, but Dan was usually right.

I think most EQ is either fake or impure. A friend used a low dose of EQ by itself for a few weeks and the change was visible. Dry quality gains. This was a few years back when EQ was probably EQ.

I forgot where i read it it was on the boards somewhere. some guy mega dosed a cpl grams of eq (2 or 3) and could never function the same again his gaba receptors in his brains were permanantely fucked so his dopamine or serotonin was affected.  im not totally sure of the specifics i  really wish someone else could chime in as well.

I've read something along the lines as well, and people blame it's effects on gaba for the anxiety the drug tends to give some users. Makes me wonder why only eq would cause this effect which is why I'd like to see some studies...I'm not seeing anything on pubmed atm.

1350mg EQ turned me into a suicidal, weeping mess.  Happened all three times i tried it, at different doses each time.

 I like what it does for my physique, but it's really only a cosmetic effect.  Deca is far superior for tissue gain
