Therapeutic phlebotomy is really the only way to treat polycythymia, so it could concievably work.  It's tough to be able to donate often enough though.

Grapefruit is shown to lower hematocrit, I'll try to dig the study up.  Seen a couple anecdotal reports with good results from this too

We shall see how bad it is after the BW....hopefully not like my truck oil.

If you cruise or come off steroids, how long does it take for RBC to get back to normal?

Mine would go back to normal after about a month of being off.. Some people struggle with their rbc even on just trt dose of test only

I can see a little delt and maybe some elbow bursitis. And a cute, efficient-looking kitchen.

I think I am going to post a "pic" of my silhouette, a la WITSEC, and see if I can get a nod into the "Arm Don" group...

Some amazing food comes out of that kitchen.....bursitus is the least of my problems.

Mine is really sensitive, I am just scheduled every 6 weeks at the local cancer center, they run my numbers and if they are high they pull a pint, covered by insurance. they call it polycythemia

My hematocrit on TRT doses (true TRT, 100mg a week) is currently 50 (no grapefruit). When I was messing around with 300mg of test and eating half a grapefruit everyday it was 46-47. In my limited experience, it definitely works to some degree.

Why did you stop eating grape fruit ? Do you donate blood ?

Laziness honestly. I hate the taste of grapefruit so once I lowered the dose I just got lazy with keeping up on it everyday. I need to get back on it.

I do not donate blood right now.
