Partial Castration thru CaCl Injections?
Posted: Sat Oct 07, 2017 4:39 pm
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if it was possible (or if anyone here believed it was possible) to undergo a partial castration thru CaCl injections. I posed this question already on the "Calcium Chloride and Other Salt Injections for Castration". I apologize for my apparent impatience, but I have a limited temporal window in which to decide upon and then perhaps to undergo these injections.
My goal is to reduce T levels so that my libido, hair loss, and acne diminish, but continue to naturally produce enough so that I can avoid some of the negative health benefits commonly associated with a full castration, like osteoporosis, gynecomastia, and mental fog. I'd much rather prefer to continue to produce some T rather than being fully castrated and have to undergo to HRT, but will I accept full castration if it means otherwise being forced to continue to accept the status quo.
I've read thru about the first 50 pages of the aforementioned thread and the only mention of partial castration seems to be made very early on by SplitDik. SplitDik cited a study that seemed to indicate that partial castration was possible with CaCl injections. In this study, cats' testis that were injected with different concentrations of CaCl demonstrated progressively lower T levels when checked at 30, 45, and 60 day intervals. Unfortunately, because observations stopped at 2 months, it's unclear as to whether T levels would have eventually leveled out or if they would have continued to be reduced down to castration levels.
Perhaps injecting a small concentration of CaCl at a low dosage (such as 5% at 0.25mL) would achieve partial castration without any additional intervention? Or, if the production of free radicals caused by the CaCl continues, and therefore the destruction of testicle tissue continues (albeit at a slower rate than would occur if a 20% concentration had been injected as indicated by the study), perhaps an additional compound would have to be injected to counteract the further effects of the CaCl?
If we can figure this out, this would be a huge step for those such as myself who wish to permanently reduce their T levels without needing to compensate for levels that are too low thru HRT. The solution to the problem I've posed would have monumental implications! Your input is much appreciated! Thank you!
