Conclusion: Average blood levels of biologically important trace elements were substantially different in hemodialysis patients, compared with healthy controls. Since both deficiency and excess of trace elements are potentially harmful yet amenable to therapy, the hypothesis that trace element status influences the risk of adverse clinical outcomes is worthy of investigation.

What got worse for some people
In their own words
“I’ve tried LJ100 tongkat ali (recently 200-300mg most days) and boron and neither of them seem to do much. Mild improvement at best.”
“Yes ive tried boron 10 mg a day, and it seemed to make it worse.”
“I've tried to tackle the high SHBG using Boron and Stinging nettle root extract for about a month, but I haven't really felt any difference from it.”
“my energy levels are off the charts, my EQ went from a 6 to 9, my sex drive went from a 4 to an 8 and I have leaned out (probably from 15% body fat to 11-12%)”
“ED is gone. People say my voice is deeper. improved mood. I want sex again. I'm going bald damn fast. i'm losing 100 hairs at a time.”
“Boron destroyed my drive. Got off it immediately when i noticed that.”

Application of Topical Phosphodiesterase 4 Inhibitors in Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysisConclusion: This meta-analysis suggests that topical PDE4 inhibitors are a safe and effective treatment for mild to moderate AD. Current evidence supports the use of crisaborole or AN2898 as the choice of maintenance or sequential therapy for mild to moderate AD.
