Kent Heckenlively’s New Book “Presidential Takedown”

How Anthony Fauci, the CDC, NIH, and the WHO Conspired to Overthrow President Trump

An explosive behind-the-scenes look at Donald Trump’s final months in office and how the COVID crisis response was a carefully crafted plan to ruin him.

Opinion By Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

Buy this book.  It is an insider’s look at what ACTUALLY  happened during the Covid-19 worldwide hoax.  It is a roadmap to solution.

One of the authors, Dr. Paul Elias Alexander, is a world-wide recognized expert in what is called “Evidence Based Medicine.”

Johns Hopkins describes Evidence Based Medicine as:

“Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. Evidence-based medicine is an interdisciplinary approach which uses techniques from science, engineering, biostatistics and epidemiology, such as meta-analysis, decision analysis, risk-benefit analysis, and randomized controlled trials to deliver “ the right care at the right time to the right patient.” (Source : AHRQ)

Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) aims for the ideal that healthcare professionals should make “conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence” in their everyday practice. The practice of evidence-based medicine uses systematic reviews of the medical literature to evaluate the best evidence on specific clinical topics (evidence synthesis). The evidence is then translated into practice by medical practitioners who select treatment options for specific cases based on the best research, patient preferences and individual patient characteristics (knowledge translation). Evidence-based medicine practitioners engage in life-long learning and are committed to the continuing education of professionals and patient communities.”

The book is a blueprint for a Congressional Investigation, More, it’s authors provide a twenty step plan to restore America.

Kent Heckenlively and Dave Rubin Talk “Big Tech Censorship!!”

And, they get right to the point…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Like Tim Bolen, I’ve been trying to figure out the next steps forward after the disaster our country has become since November 3, 2020. The quick answer is I needed to make a lot of new friends.

And quite honestly, it’s been very successful.

It has resulted in the writing of two new books, both being published in August.

The first is Google Leaks: A Whistleblower’s Expose of Big Tech Censorship, (August 3, 2021) cowritten with Zach Vorhies, the actual whistleblower at Google.

And Behind the Mask of Facebook: A Whistleblower’s Shocking Story of Big Tech Bias and Censorship, (August 17, 2021) cowritten with Ryan Hartwig, the actual whistleblower at Facebook.

Along the way, Dennis and Susan Prager have become big fans of my work, and that led me to an interview with Dave Rubin, (the Rubin Report and author of Don’t Burn This Book) who has to be one of the nicest people on the planet. His staff is also extremely courteous and professional, some of the best people with whom I’ve ever interacted.

I believe there’s a convergence between those of us in the health freedom movement and conservatives who are finding their voices censored online. It’s time for all the various tribes to unite and fight the common enemies of freedom.

In that spirit I present my interview with Dave Rubin…

(Humor?) – I’m Announcing MY Campaign For California Governor…

“Planet Earth’s #1 Anti-Vaxxer,” Banned In Australia Author Kent Heckenlively JD, Steps Up to The Plate.,.

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

According to a recent article on Fox News, California governor Gavin Newsom in a recent tweet claimed,

“I am not going to take this recall attempt lying down. And let’s call it what it is: It’s a partisan Republican recall, backed by the RNC, anti-mask and anti-vax extremists, and pro-Trump forces who want to overturn the last election, and have opposed much of what we have done to fight the pandemic.”

I think it’s time I confessed.

“I” am the anti-mask and anti-vax extremist who made all of this happen. Look no further than your humble servant. “I” really am Spartacus, not Cory Booker.

Do you doubt that with the publication of my books, THE CASE AGAINST MASKS (banned by Amazon, but available on Barnes & Noble), PLAGUE OF CORRUPTION, (a New York Times bestseller), and my most recent book, INOCULATED: How Science Lost Its Soul in Autism that I have single-handedly led the resistance like John Connor in the Terminator movies? (Okay, maybe in those Terminator movies a lot of “other people,” died fighting the machines, but we really don’t care about them, do we?)

What people really care about is whether you have a winning smile and good hair. I qualify on both counts.

The question I need all of you to answer, is since I have put EVERYTHING in motion, “should I be the one to stand for governor of California when Newsom inevitably falls?

I believe I’m the inevitable choice, but I’ll leave that up to you decide.

As far as a couple campaign slogans, I was thinking of, “Unlike Newsom, I’ve never slept with my best friend’s wife!” Or maybe, “Since I’ve been married I’ve only slept with my own wife!”

But I know the inevitable scandals will arise, so let me address them right now.  “Yes, it is true that every night I sleep in the same bed as my wife!”

But speaking quite candidly, I think I’d make a fabulous governor.

INOCULATED – The Book That Will Break the Internet…

I’m getting ready to “do it” to the bad guys again…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

What is “it,” you may ask?

I’m about to provoke a full scale media meltdown. Yes, that’s right. I’m not making any plans to speak cautiously and carefully, so that I don’t get attacked.

Let’s be real. The other side isn’t dealing honestly with us.

Why should we be part of the illusion that we’re actually having a discussion? We aren’t. We’re in a full-scale war for the survival of the human species. The only important question is how well I’m provoking the mainstream media and their Big Pharma boobs to viciously attack my book, INOCULATED: How Science Lost Its Soul in Autism, coming out on Tuesday, February 16, 2021.

Because when they attack, we win. People stop to pay attention, then they say, “Let me check this out.”

For starters, there’s the Ben Garrison cartoon at the top of this article, which is being released on the same day as the book. I told Ben, Make it as controversial as you can.” He did.

I am inviting the attack.

Help Me Beat This “Future President…”

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Okay, I know some people think I’m crazy, but it’s wild how my hare-brained ideas keep coming true. Our book, Plague of Corruption, was originally scheduled to appear on November 5, 2019, the same day as the new Scott Adams book and one by Donald Trump, Jr.

In what I thought was a joking fashion, I said my goal was to beat the number of Amazon reviews for Scott Adams and Donald Trump, Jr. Did I expect to do it? Not really.

But even though our book’s publication date got pushed to April 14, 2020, it quickly blew past the Scott Adams book, Loserthink: How Untrained Brains Are Ruining America. That book, as of Friday, January 29, 2021, has 1,155 Amazon reviews.

By comparison, Plague of Corruption, now has 5,805 Amazon reviews.

Let’s talk about how monumental it is to beat Scott Adams. His Dilbert comic strip killed an entire industry of management books promoting dumb ideas. Even Elon Musk is reported at staff meetings to tell his employees, “Don’t do something so stupid it’s going to end up in a Dilbert comic strip.” Add that to the fact that his Dilbert comic strip became a television series for two years on the WB Network and he transitioned into writing best-selling books, so that his net worth is now estimated to be around $75 million dollars.

Scott Adams got his ass handed to him by a middle-school science teacher. (That’s probably why he’s refused to have me on his Coffee with Scott Adams morning podcast, even though I’ve asked several times!)

Now let’s turn to Donald Trump, Jr., President Trump’s son and namesake.

My Goal in 2021 is To Be “the Most Dangerous Man in America…”

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Since the debacle of the election…

… the shame of the courts not looking into claims of election fraud, the false flag of the Capitol riots which were NOT INSTIGATED by Trump supporters, and the embarrassment of an Inauguration of Joe Biden, complete with barbed wire and National Guards troops more akin to a military operation, I’ve been wondering what is the proper response.

12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to ChaosI’ve found myself listening more and more to the podcasts of the Canadian Professor Jordan Peterson, the insanely popular author of the book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos.

In particular, I like this ten minute video of Jordan Peterson in which he argues that in order to be a good man, you must be dangerous, meaning you have the strength to stand up to evil.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSErYhxNLX0

I was intrigued by this video because his description of those who become truly good later in life, are generally those who in their youth rebelled against authority, often quitting high school in his experience, and going to work in some roughneck job, like the oilfields of Alberta, Canada.

That wasn’t me…

The Case for Interferon…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

You might be saying to yourself, where’s Kent been?
 
To be honest, since the runaway success of Plague of Corruption, your humble correspondent has become quite the favorite of his publishing company. I’m on track to publish four, possibly five, books this year.
 
And in an amazing plot twist that nobody saw coming, this renegade writer started the New Year off with a positive Kirkus review for his new book, The Case for Interferon, published on January 5, 2021. Not only is it a positive Kirkus Review, it’s a “preferred” review, meaning it’s going to be featured in their monthly magazine, which come out on January 15, 2021.
 
Don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll go back to being slammed by the mainstream media for my next book, but for now I hope you’ll just savor this moment with me. 
 
Just below is an excerpt from that review:

The Case for Interferon: How a 1980s Cancer Drug Might Be the Wonder Therapy for the Twenty-First Century

Am I 91% as Famous as Donald Trump, Jr.?

The Race Is On…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Maybe you think the title of my article is playful.  But I’m serious about this inequality.

Donald Trump, Jr. is the son of our President and from everything I’ve seen, a really great guy. I’d say the vast majority of people in this country know his name.

Last November 5, 2019, he released a book, TRIGGERED, and and as of October 29, 2020 it had 4,914 Amazon reviews.  Good job for Don, Jr.

But on April 14, 2020 I released a book with Dr. Judy Mikovits, PLAGUE OF CORRUPTION, and as of October 29, 2020, it had 4,474 Amazon reviews.

Despite our book being released five months later, we are currently at 91% of the number of Amazon reviews for Donald Trump, Jr.

Health Freedom Must “Stand Up” for QANON…

Opinion by Kent Heckenlively, JD

If you’re one of my regular readers you know I have a soft spot for stories where different groups unite to fight a common enemy.

Yes, the Lord of the Rings series is my favorite and I try to model my actions after the character Aragorn. (If you hate the Lord of the Rings, please skip this and pick up with my next article.)

I could not believe it when YouTube (owned by Google), brought out the long knives last Friday…

…and went after some of my favorite people like Jordan Sather, Dustin Nemos, Mark Taylor, and the X-22 Report, canceling their channels.

I know there were many more, but let those simply stand in for all the others.

Can I tell you if there’s a Deep State organization, held together by blackmail (often involving sex with children), and seeking a globalist takeover of America?

No, I cannot.

However, I am aware of the tactics of the enemy to discredit the Health Freedom movement and I see the same tactics being applied to the QANON movement.

Let us be like Gandalf and Aragorn freeing Théoden, and hopefully allowing QANON to avoid the mistakes we have made.

I’ve been researching some of the QANON claims and am intrigued…

Election Thoughts…

This last weekend I had some experiences which might provide a window into what will happen in our upcoming Presidential Election…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

I got the chance to have a long talk with a chronic fatigue syndrome patient I’ve known for a while, but we were usually in larger gatherings. “You know, Kent,” she said at one point, “I used to be a big time liberal in 2016. Both me and my husband. But now we’re both voting for Trump.”

I LOVE these types of conversations, because I’m always fascinated about what makes people change their minds. “How did that come about?” I asked.

“Well, I really respected you and Dr. Judy Mikovits. So when you and Judy said you were supporting Trump I was confused. But my father always told me that if you’re going to have a strong opinion about something, you need to research it. So I researched Trump and realized I’d been wrong about him. He’s fighting the corrupt system, and my side wasn’t.”

I thought of my own detours from orthodoxy.

When people accuse me of being set in my ways, I delight in telling them I voted TWICE for Bill Clinton because I’d become concerned about the Republican party becoming a party of the religious right.  In his time, Bill Clinton was the best politician of his day, and I especially enjoyed the balancing of the budget under his administration.

I look for evidence of people changing their minds.

Despite the media talking about Republicans supporting Biden, those Republicans didn’t support Trump anyway in 2016. Maybe I live in a bubble, but it seems I only hear about former anti-Trump people turning pro-Trump. It doesn’t seem to go the other way.

This Sunday morning when I opened my Twitter account I read the following from my favorite political commentator these days, Scott Adams.

Michelle Malkin and Kent Heckenlively to Tour Australia for the “Anti-Mask” Tour

My three-year ban from speaking in Australia has expired, so what’s a trouble-maker like me to do?

I decided to apply again, of course. 

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Only this time, the conservative commentator, Michelle Malkin, has agreed to accompany me to the land Down Under. We’re going to talk about my recent book with Dr. Judy Mikovits, THE CASE AGAINST MASKS: TEN REASONS WHY MASK USE SHOULD BE LIMITED, and whatever else Michelle wants to talk about. She’s rarely at a loss for words.

Dr. Mikovits and I were recently interviewed by Michelle, and after the show wrapped, I popped the question. I told her it will be the best trip she never took. She laughed and said “Twist my arm,” and held her arm behind her back as if it was being twisted.

I know my sense of humor is an acquired taste…

Mikovits/Heckenlively’s Three Books Outline THE COMPLETE FAILURE Of US Public Health…

Three Books – No Prisoners…

Opinion by “Deplorable” Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

Kent Heckenlively and Judy Mikovits’s newest book “The Case Against Masks – Ten Reasons Why Mask Use Should Be Limited” is a third nail in US Public Health’s coffin.

Before you read it, pick up a yellow highlighter.  You are going to want to mark out the sections of text that you can quote to those that think masks are a good idea.  And, there are a lot of those areas to highlight.

Democratic Party Governors, and local Public Health officials, are going to hate you.

Although the book very well questions the so-called science of mask wearing with ten very good points, together, all of it is a strong indictment of US Public Health.

Why?

Because it becomes very clear that US Public Health has NO CLUE what to do with a REAL Pandemic.  They couldn’t even tell if there was one, or how big it would be.  Their predictions of what was to come were ABSURD.  Their whole handling of the problem was a joke.

In the “Mask” book there are ten reasons:

Reason #1 – Oxygen is good for Human Beings and Carbon Dioxide is Not!

Reason #2 – How Does SARS-Cov-2 Spread?

Reason #3 – How Effective is A Mask?

Reason #4 – Six Feet Apart And Wearing A Mask?

Reason #5 – What About Face Seal leakage and the Backward Jet?

Reason #6 – What is the Actual Risk of Airborne Transmission?

Reason #7 – What is a Dangerous Situation for the Vulnerable Exposed to SARS-Cov-2 to Develop COVID-19

Reason #8 – Can A mask Become A Virus Trap?

Reason #9 – The Myth of Asymptomatic Carriers

Reason #10 – Children Do NOT Need to Wear a Mask to Return to School

Americans were gulled into believing that we really did, and do, have a workable US Public Health System.

Going SCORCHED EARTH against Barnes and Noble…

Something unusual happens when you write a New York Times bestselling book like PLAGUE OF CORRUPTION…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

A lot of people come out of the woodwork, wanting to congratulate you, and to your complete surprise, many have been your long-time heroes.

But there’s another group who introduces themselves, the super-predators, the alphas, the warriors, the winter soldiers, the sharks, who come up to you and say, “You know, Kent, I have a very special set of skills.  And you’re probably going to need me at some point in the near future.  Don’t hesitate to call.  We get shit done.”

That’s the background to me receiving this email…

…from a reader who tried to order our new book, THE CASE AGAINST MASKS from Barnes & Noble.

“I actually made a phone call to the local Barnes & Nobles to order the book which is found at their web site.
 
 
I wanted to order the book to ship to the same STORE for pickup, INSTEAD of shipping direct to my home (which is boring in my opinion).
 
I was advised they could not locate the book by looking up the title and authors. It’s not in the database. Then they asked me to provide ISBN number and they found the book as listed, but then advised me they CANNOT order the book to ship to the store (any store). They advised that if it were to be ordered to ship to the store for pickup, the order WILL BE cancelled.
 
I advise the authors to investigate by following the similar steps as mine to document the censorship and suppression tactics by the upper management of Barnes & Nobles which operates on liberal ideology that censors the free flow of information by DENYING the order for pickup unless shipped direct to the home.
 
I have ordered books to be shipped to the same store in the past, but never this ridiculous blockage as suppressive tactic.
 
I wanted to buy the book at pickup for my sister as a belated birthday gift (a few months after her b-day on May 25). She is a protestor of face mask mandate and refuses to wear face covering anywhere. Provo Utah city council just overrode the mayor’s veto to force the face mask mandate until November 15 unless extended. Provo City council face mask mandate as ordinance led by BYU professor of humanities George Handley (leftist).”

I didn’t even have to think about it for a minute.

What is Our Destiny? My Destiny?

Tuesday, August 18, 2020 is likely to be one of the most important days of my life… 

It’s the day so many projects I’ve been working on come to fruition. I feel it is a day of battle for me, and for all of us.

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

I understand one of the unique things about me is I think in movie terms.  It’s an odd habit, but probably pretty common for writers.  As I’ve thought about what’s waiting for me in the near future I was drawn to this scene in The Last Samurai

If you haven’t seen the movie I’ll give you a brief overview.  It’s 1877, and soldier of fortune, Tom Cruise/Nathan Algren, a former Civil War hero and Indian fighter, has been hired by the government of Japan to put down a samurai rebellion. Cruise is captured in battle by the samurai and comes to realize he’s fighting on the wrong side of this war.

The samurai believe Japan is losing its identity by contact with the west, which seeks to exploit it.  The samurai choose not to fight with modern weapons like guns, but with the honorable weapons of the samurai.  This puts strategist Tom Cruise in the position of trying to figure out how the samurai might defeat their enemies.

Cruise/Algren befriends the samurai general, Katsumoto, played by the wonderful actor, Ken Watanabe, and here they plan the first day of the battle.

I love this movie because as much as it’s a thrilling action picture, it’s also deeply philosophical. It asks, “What is the value of our lives? To what principles do we dedicate ourselves?  And how much will we sacrifice?”

The answer from the perspective of the heroic journey, as popularized by Joseph Campbell is clear:

If you seek to be a hero, you must be willing to risk your life, without complaint or anger.  You surrender to whatever destiny awaits you.

Humor – Next Book Target: Donald Trump, Jr…

Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

According to the Greek historian Plutarch (or maybe Hans Gruber, the villain from the original Die Hard movie from the 1980s), “And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.”

While I may not be Alexander the Great, the famed Greek general who conquered all the known world of his time in the third century B.C., one might wonder if I have any more worlds to conquer with my writing.

When I was staring out with our book, PLAGUE OF CORRUPTION, I had a target.  The most popular virus book of the last ten years, Spillover, by David Quammen, (published in 2013) had at the time about 850 Amazon reviews. I remember many a day looking at that book on Amazon, thinking, “If only I could get to 850 Amazon reviews.”  Well, I blew by that within about eight weeks of my release in April.

Then I set my sights on Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone, by Richard Preston, published in 1994.  It is the all-time best-selling virus book of all time.  On Amazon it had about 1,200 Amazon reviews.  Well, I blew past The Hot Zone as well. Another world conquered.

For about two years I’ve been listening to the daily Periscope shows of Scott Adams, learning how to become a master persuader.  By a strange twist of fate, both of our book were originally scheduled to come out on November 5, 2109.  His got published and mine got pushed back to April 14, 2020.  I remember thinking, if only my book could match the success of his new book, Loser-Think.  As of this writing, Loser-Think has 652 Amazon reviews.  Loser-Think soon fell beneath the mighty army of my readers.

Loser-Think was not Scott’s most popular book.  That designation belonged to How to Fail at Nearly Everything & Still Win Big, published in 2014.  How many times have I heard him talk about how he gets emails about that book every day with people thanking him for writing it? Hundreds?

As of today How to Fail at Nearly Everything & Still Win Big has 2,014 Amazon reviews.  Was I bold enough to think I could match that publishing juggernaut?  Last week I realized I was close, and so put out a call for those readers who hadn’t yet posted an Amazon review.

The result? PLAGUE OF CORRUPTION now has 2,112 Amazon reviews.

Scott Adams Creates the “Heckenlively Rule” for Public Debate…

It seems some of the fans of Scott Adams want him to interview me.

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

On his August 3, 2020 Periscope, right near the end, a listener asked why he didn’t interview Kent Heckenlively.

Scott gave his answer, which was essentially a recapitulation of what he’d said previously, roughly translated as, “I can’t figure out if what this guy is saying is true, and therefore I don’t want him on my show.”

I think this should be forever known as the “Heckenlively Rule.”

It’s an internally consistent position with impeccable logic, but unfortunately it flies in the face of five hundred years of western civilization, wiping out in a single stroke the principles of the Enlightenment, the Renaissance, and all scientific progress.

Here’s my philosophical position: I like to listen to the best people on all sides of a debate to figure out whose arguments are best in accord with the facts and my own internal logic.  I do not think this makes me a dangerous person.

Let me tell you all the controversies on which I’m still trying to figure out what I believe:

Dear Scott Adams . . .

Imagine my surprise last Saturday morning…

…when I was listening to the morning Periscope of Scott Adams and heard Adams address me directly by name and decline my request to be interviewed by him.

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Unlike Chuck Todd of Meet the Press, Adams actually said my name, and treated me with great respect.

In return, I wrote a letter to him, and posted a response on YouTube…

  This is my video, and below it is the actual letter.

Kids SHOULD Wear Masks ALL DAY! (Not)…

Let’s Look At REALITY…

By Kent Heckenlively JD

Science is science, humor is humor, and sometimes a good cigar is just a smoke.

You may or may not know it, but Dr. Judy Mikovits and I have a book coming out on August 11, 2020 (already available on Kindle), called THE CASE AGAINST MASKS: Ten Reasons Mask Use Should be Limited.

The last chapter is about kids and masks.  Not surprisingly, your favorite science writer argued that kids SHOULD NOT wear masks to return to school.

But as I am always a fearless questioner of what I believe, I went out and bought a carbon dioxide monitor to determine how high the carbon dioxide levels would go with just ten simple breaths.

Knowing that YouTube might ban the video if I said what I really think, I use an ingenious method to get my point across.  I hope you enjoy!

Here is the video:

As If I Wasn’t Hated Enough Already . . .

Maybe it’s just a defect in my character…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

One would think after publishing PLAGUE OF CORRUPTION, in which I go after vaccines as hard as anybody ever has in history, and enduring an unprecedented media blackout, even though the book is the runaway science bestseller of 2020, I’d sit back a little and take it easy.

Maybe it was the spectacle of Chuck Todd on Meet the Press (May 17, 2020), when he talked all around my book with Dr. Judy Mikovits, without mentioning the book or our names, that I decided I simply don’t care.

With that in mind…

it’s probably not a surprise that in May when our publisher, Tony Lyons called and asked, “Hey, Kent, what do you think about you and Judy putting together a book on masks?” 

Sounds like another New York Times bestseller,” I said.

I got to work on it right away.

Our new book, THE CASE AGAINST MASKS: Ten Reasons Mask Use Should Be Limited,” comes out on August 11, 2020.

Let’s see, how can I be any more hated? 

I’m a lawyer.  I’m against vaccines.  And now I’m against masks.  Maybe next I’ll start selling Amway products and life insurance!

Don’t get me wrong.  I want to be liked.  It’s just that I’m curiously indifferent to being disliked.

When I was a kid my parents taught me to stand up for what you believe in, even if everybody is against you.

The Respect of Those I Admire…

I have a confession to make…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

For about a year I’ve been seeing a wellness doctor for “healthy aging.”  About three years ago when my wife was going through menopause she consulted a similar doctor about her hormones and the difference in her was night and day.  “I don’t feel like I’m going crazy anymore,” she said.

My son is a fitness guy, so when I mentioned to him I was feeling a bit run-down he said, “Dad, you’re a certain age and you’ve probably got low testosterone.”

I asked how I might get it tested by somebody who knew what they were doing and he said, “Those places are all around.  They’re just hidden.  It’s the biggest open secret there is.  Any guy your age who looks great is probably doing it.”

I found the doctor with the best reputation in the area…

…(I’ll call him Dr. X), located right outside the gates of the ritziest country club in our area, and made an appointment.  I liked him from the start.  He had that perfect combination of intelligence (graduating from a top medical school) and confidence.  “How did you get into this?” I asked in our first appointment.

“I got tired of seeing three hundred pound patients with diabetes and telling them again and again they needed to lose weight and stop smoking.  In this practice I’m treating people who want to be pro-active with their health.”

I did the tests, my testosterone was low, and we did some treatments to triple my levels.
