> haven’t noticed anything in myself, other than routine pheromone burnout… if I use them too much I do become indifferent, so there appears to be a self calibration process, have concluded that the best results are from intermittant use… other than that over the last decade I have no overt physiologic symptoms or changes, nothing we can see in blood testing for natural androgen/estrogen production (I get tested for a variety of hormones and by-products, like “upstream” pregnenolone, “midstream” DHEA, “downstream” DHT, testosterone, and estrogen load)… more to the point, my PSA (prostate marker) is remarkably low, in the zero risk category… and one of the big concerns with irresponsible steroid abuse is PSA values spike… at least in my case, pheromones are demonstrating **no** impact on prostate volume or PSA values, even esoteric markers like SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) which respond to excess hormone by the body pumping out more SHBG to control blood hormone levels, show no meaningful activity… No thyroid changes, no inflammation markers like TNF-a, or Interleukins show activity, no C reactive protein… no elevated liver enzymes…

> The key thing that will cause more skin irritation, like acne, is worry itself. Anything can cause a breakout and looking for those things in life, rather than living life, is bad for the Karma and the skin. Just look at all the negative connotations you’ve already associated with mones:

> acne , aggravate , caused , hormonal , imbalance , worried

> The next thing to consider is there are over 13000 members of the forum and MANY more who actively buy pheromones at least once a month. If it really was so bad I am sure the numbers would be declining and not increasing. Everybody is different though, and if you believe what you believe, your best and only option is apply for an immediate return of products and refund and to stop using them.

When something like this afflicts us, we all tend to feel that we are alone and that’s an OK position because we are ultimately different. Just remember though that life throws us all challenges and in order to get ahead in life we must take risks and chances. Those who don’t fail. 😉**

> Steve, I can’t believe your just bashing me when I was asking for friendly advice. The fact that 13k+ people purchase your products doesn’t have anything to do with this. Millions of people purchase and use coke every day as well and still fk up their lives.
> 
> I’m far beyond apple cider vinegar. My life is a big regime. I don’t eat dairy, wheat, gluten, high GL and high carbs foods. I mostly eat green stuff. I haven’t drinked or smoked anything for 7 years. I work out often. I live as healthy as one could live. I’m not even going to talk about the supplements and vitamins I take plus the creams etc. I still have mild acne. You have no idea what I’m doing for my skin and how much I spend to clear it.  
> How about providing some facts? Don’t like your attitude.

It’s mutual.

If you didn’t want advice, you came to the wrong place.

Facts? You’ll have to find your own like everybody else. You have been gifted with first few links. And there are even more on your favorite subject. Volumes of data. You are welcome to take as much or as little of it as you like, as facts.
