question for the guru's

[jollysnowdevil]

we all

know the amount of our natural mone output varies from person to person based on a number of different factors: age,

metabolism, hormone levels, etc.

i was wondering is it possible for a person's natural none output to

vary drastically throughout the year?

[CptKipling]

Yeah, I think it's very

possible.

Isn't it true that hormone levels fluctuate throughout the year? That would affect your pheromone

output.

Other things like health, diet, stress levels, fitness etc. will all play a part.

[Rbt]

I have a hunch temperature and

humidity may play a part as well. At least in regards to perspiration production which could also affect

bacteria/'mone conversions, and dispersal rates. On the other hand wearing light, short-sleeves vs heavy long

sleeves and cool-weather coats can not only affect 'mone disperal, but perspiration producton as well. I know my

diet has a tendency to change depending on the temperatures as well, which could affect body chemistry.

As I

just started experimenting with these products back in February, I have yet to gather anywhere near enough data to

detect certain seasonal changes. Just speculating at the moment.

i was wondering more

along the lines of something like diabetes. it's amazing the differences it brings vs a normal person i was

wondering if that could contribute to fluctuating mone levels. i'd haveto say it does factor in bigtime especially

when one can consider all the chemical changes it can bring

[Watcher]

DHEA supplements can be good - of

course herbal stuff works wonders - diamantia - tribulus horny goatweed are all good products * better still if u

get a 3 in one just make sure u keep youre water levels up as u can sweat a bit more*

Hmm, that is a though

(diabetes) I hadn't considered. I was diagnosed as a Type 2 a few years ago. It's well under control and the way I

now eat keeps the glucose level fairly level throughout the day/weeks/months etc. Not sure if has had any effect on

the pheromones... Not sure how to evaluate. I only test twice a week now and the glucose level doesn't vary much at

all. In someone where it can swing wildly maybe it could make a dif.

People do have a tendency to eat

differently depending on the seasons (cold vs hot), so diet in the sense of glucose levels, might indeed have a

"seasonal" effect. Also in the sense of fat intake (desire for fatty foods seems to increase in cols weather).



Those of us in "4 season" climates will probably need to take this into consideration. Others, like Gegogi off in

always warm(ish) Hawaii, may not have the problem.

i am abit ashamed for not

knowing at the current moment as my head is a bit fuzzy. type 2 is when you have to take a pill right? i was more

so speaking from an insulin dependant standpoint.

[Watcher]

type 2 is where u need diet etc i

think type 1 is the insulin required one

[belgareth]

In general, people with

diabetes either have a total lack of insulin

(type 1 diabetes (http://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/uq1217abc#)) or they

have too little insulin or cannot use insulin effectively

(type 2

diabetes (http://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/uq1217abc#)).


Type 1 diabetes (formerly called juvenile-onset or insulin-dependent

diabetes), accounts for 5% to 10% of all people with diabetes.

1 (http://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/uq1217abc#uf6319) In type 1 diabetes,

the body's immune system destroys the cells that release

insulin (http://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/uq1217abc#), eventually

eliminating insulin production from the body. Without insulin, cells cannot absorb sugar (glucose), which they need

to produce energy.
Type 2 diabetes (formerly called mature-onset or non–insulin-dependent diabetes) can develop

at any age, but most commonly becomes apparent during adulthood. However, the incidence of type 2 diabetes in

children is rising. Type 2 diabetes accounts for the vast majority of people with diabetes—90% to 95%. In contrast

to type 1 diabetes, insulin resistance is the main characteristic of type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance refers to

the body's inability to respond properly to insulin. Resistance develops because of many factors, including

genetics, obesity, increasing age, and having high blood sugar for a long time.

thanks Bel. i couldn't

remember the numbers as my head was cloudy from the yankee game. you would think after 15 years i would be able to

remember the numbers. lol

I tend to blame the raise on the

"High Fructose corn syrup" that is in everything and the McDiet (high fat) that kids are exposed to!!

[belgareth]

A lot of docs blame those too.

Probably the government's fault.:lol:

or the parents fault for

letting their kids consume so much of it. then again kids will be kids and find their ways to have more candy.

[belgareth]

Depends on how you deal with

it. We didn't have many problems with junk. Simply enforce good dietary habits then allow some junk. One trick that

worked out well was on Halloween we allowed thm all the candy they wanted once we had inspected it. One or two upset

stomaches and unsympathetic parents did a lot of good. They rarely tried it twice.

Sadistic...huh?

Sadistic not really. i like that idea. knowing from my own childhood being

told no just made me want to do it even more. i think the potential headache from having your kids running around

sugared up yelling and screaming would be sadistic.

High fructose corn syrup and

hydrogenated oil are of satan. Products inflested with such have ravaged millions of North Americans, turning them

into virtual blimps.

Maybe we can count on fewer drowning since that much fat must surely

float. :)
