January 1st 2013, and the format of this forum is going to change.

There is a growing group dedicated to home remedies and theories which heavily undermine donation progress for TRUE Research.

It seems there are two good options for discussing these home remedies, which historically have lead to very little true progress, either producing
relief for only a few or producing waves of hope in a new and promising direction, that eventually fail, because the cure is not aimed at the cause
but at the relief of symptoms.

We all want relief of symptoms, and many herbal and OTC compounds have proven to be helpful to varying degrees to some, but the intense focus in
finding a remedy based on symptomology such does NOT get to the mechanism that stops POIS forever, nor is consistent for all.

We do not want to sell false hope nor lead users down dead end streets especially at the risk of furthering the damage to their systems just to
increase our member base.

This forum is not a playland. We would like our members to have a place to share their suffering and potential remedies, but not at the expense
of deviating from the main intent of desperately seeking real professional research and resolving the POIS puzzle.

This requires HIGHLY EXPERIENCED MEDICAL RESEARCHERS. It is NOT possible for untrained inexperienced individuals to resolve this
very complicated issue. Attempts at this are irresponsible and dangerous. Real research requires specific specialized and heavily experienced professionals
with decades of experience.

NSF and "Feellalike.com" are open and willing to risk amateur medical research. There are few controls and restrictions, the activity is even encouraged.

If you are willing to take the risks and lose valuable time and have your hopes dashed time and again, these may be ideal locations for you to experiment.

We bowed to the pressure, for a time, trying to maintain a collective in the hopes that we could finally achieve the professional research necessary, but
the risks are too high, so we have made the choice to focus in professional research.

As it is, with such heavy redirection of hope in unsupported theories, we will probably not make the March deadline, and will require at least another year
to raise the rest of the funds. So we feel that a slight interruption at this point in our change of focus will have little negative impact.

Our focus will move primarily to research funding efforts, companionship, sharing of potential useful symptomatic remedies, but there will be NO MORE
DISCUSSION of supposed theories for POIS cures.


We, none of us here are trained for it.

We will moderate this new approach strongly.

Feel free to visit sites who permit uncontrolled research and are willing to flagrantly promote false hopes. And good luck.

If we remain with just three members who are dedicated and intent on rolling up their sleeves to go this last mile, we need nothing more.





This merits re-posting in red.

It is a major POIS Forum Statement.

Please read it carefully.

Best wishes to everyone for a POIS-free future!!

Our POIS Medical Research Funding status:

We only need about $9,000 more.

This is eminently achievable!

We need the 9,000$ before this March, we cannot afford waiting another year! Everyone should do their best to donate - It does not matter how much, every contribution will make the difference - because this will mean that we are investing in our future, and the future of many people around the world who are suffering from POIS. And nothing is more valuable than our future and our health.

I see. [The Forum Statement below] sounds reasonable to me.


Thank you, Vincent M, for your support. You are a valued member.

It's been an honor being part of this forum with you Demo, and with everyone else. Once this research study is done we will have much more recognition in the medical world which will be awesome for our cause.

Thank. God.
POIS since I was about 15. 1.75 years of desens and I'm now about 80% POIS free. Still working through best practices for maintaining my immunity and administering my injections with my doctor. Email me if you have tips or questions!

I once tried to get funding from the pharmaceutical firm who makes my TRT. Uphill climb (to do TRT - POIS clinical trials research)

But maybe now they could put up $9,000?

That's Corporate Peanut$!

Any thoughts?

Thanks LAPOISSE

WITHOUT RESEARCH THERE WILL BE NO CURE!
Sessions 5 to 9 days, mostly Flu-like, joints, digestion problems, light cognitive.
Niacin has changed my lif though, now 1 day MAX.
Somewhere in this interaction with Niacin is the answer!

As per Daveman's recent post, I totally agree that before the end of March deadline the majority of discussion and effort here should be channelled toward getting the NORD grant. If you have time to spend thinking and posting about POIS in the next couple of months, please spend it thinking about fundraising for the grant. If you have an idea, please act on it. Sometimes there is a danger of discussing things too much rather than just carrying out our ideas. Its better to carry out 5 ideas, 4 of which end up failing than to just discuss things and not do any of them. One common characteristic of successful entrepreneurs is that they are not afraid to fail, thus they act on ideas more often than others and ultimately some of them work! And the first step is to just write that email or whatever it is you've been thinking about doing. Just take the first step and the rest follows. Who knows where it might lead. Every breakthrough success we've had here be it the October money bomb or the reddit campaign, getting POIS sufferers on TV (amazing!) and in newspapers, getting more doctors interested in POIS, having POIS officially recognised by the major US and European databases ....all of these have come from a small first step taken by individual forum members here.

Its a new year of opportunity - put aside your excuses (we all have them), be positive, act on your ideas and get your new year off to a flyer. You'll feel great that you did something for everyone (and don't forget that everyone includes you so you really can't lose).
