30-40g combined. (Yes, I am aware of the fact that no one here has had
such rapid growth and that some go to extreme dosages, I think I read
somewhere even 6g a day, which seems insane, to be honest.)
Thanks for the clarification. Glad to hear you had such great results on 1 g/D. That is atypical however, and to make a blanket recommendation to never exceed 1 g/D without that additional info is misleading, in my opinion.
The high dosage of 6 g/D you mentioned was determined to be effective for that individual after MUCH trial and error and with the stated purpose of relieving his anxiety/feelings/edginess related to GID, and that any breast growth was considered a side effect for him. based on his posts on this forum, I don't think that individual is reckless or insane.

But just so you know, food "meddles" with your metabolism and endocrine system. Whatever body mechanics has to do with this I certainly don't know, but then we probably mean different things by body mechanics.
1. my experience, though very limited, proved that PM really works and is
a powerful herb; although not everyone will get results as fast as I did,
I think that my experience at least puts a lower bound to how fast one
can expect them
2. one should be careful with anything that meddles with one's
metabolism and endocrine system; that holds true especially for
things that create complex, not yet completely understood,
interactions with the body mechanics (you can find many examples
in the drug industry)

The manufacturer's recommended dosage is for men who do NOT wish to have breast enlargement. PM IS used for other purposes.

discussed or researched so I tend to be on the safe side here as well;
what's the point of taking 6g a day if after a year you'll need a
maintainance dose of 6g?
If you are talking about breast growth and maintenance, the experience of others on this site is that a maintenance dose is considerably lower than the dose required to stimulate growth. The exact dosage will of course be specific to each individual, so why do you assume it will be the same dosage required to stimulate growth?
I have researched PM extensively and have yet to read ANYTHING that even mentions it has any addictive qualities. On the other hand, I have not seen any studies specifically looking into tolerance or habituation to PM. I have seen laboratory research that failed to establish a LD50 for PM which indicates it has extremely low toxicity levels. Additionally, PM has been used in Thailand and Asia for at least several hundred years. Surely if it was addictive, there would be at least anecdotal reports.
However, a lack of reports certainly does NOT constitute an assurance that addiction to PM is not possible. I agree that caution is always a good thing in matters such as this; I appreciate your position.
Again, thanks for the clarification about your experiences; I somehow missed your previous posts.
