  1. muscle repair and DHT

    I really don’t understand your comments about discounting how you feel. The only reason I started this thread is that several of my muscles/tendons are painful. All I care about is making them “feel” better so that I can resume full training. There is no lab test to determine that status of...

  2. muscle repair and DHT

    I really had to hold back on my responses to your original dogmatic postings. I gave you plenty of chances to actually notice what I was saying and respond appropriately. You never answered my questions I specifically asked you. You did not cite studies. You belittled my source as obscure...

  3. My estrogen is out of range, I need your opinion on why

    I absolutely agree that there is more to this than just the hormones. We don't have the full picture. I suspect there are other signaling pathways and receptors involved that could include neurotransmitters and other types of ligands.

  4. My estrogen is out of range, I need your opinion on why

    I've had a slight excess E2 as well - not as much as yours though. I tried to counter it with tiny doses of arimidex and then aromasin. Arimidex made me dizzy right away. Aromasin I could tolerate but its benefits faded after a couple weeks and I did not feel good on the drug. It really...

  5. My estrogen is out of range, I need your opinion on why

    He is on finesteride so high T makes sense. Mine has been in the 900s too while taking dutasteride and I am 50. Off the drug it would probably be around 600.

  6. muscle repair and DHT

    I seen several doctors already. They don't give any answer. They don't have a clue. At that point if I share my ideas they generally think they are reasonable but we still don't know. If you read all my posts then you will have as extensive a history as I can share with my doctors. I did...

  7. muscle repair and DHT

    My problem is rare. I see doctors and they do not know what is going on nor do they have time to research my condition. So they are providing zero help apart from running some lab tests that I ask for. In such a situation the internet provides the advantage of reaching a much broader audience...

  8. muscle repair and DHT

    You are not being consistent Matrix. You have advised against AIs for me. You have stated it is difficult to control E2 with AIs. You have stated that working on the gut is a better way to control E2 but that this is not easy. You have tried to ween yourself off of AIs for these reasons...

  9. muscle repair and DHT

    I post of these boards for 2 reasons: 1) My story might help someone with similar issues. 2) I have not resolved my issues fully and I thought someone might know something useful and post a reply. You have yet to provide your references or even your explanation of what you think is going on...

  10. muscle repair and DHT

    How about posting references for these studies? This sort of comment demonstrates almost a religious-like belief in DHT. The fact that DHT binds the androgen receptor more tightly than testosterone does not make it responsible for all things male. Testosterone is still king in muscle tissue...

  11. muscle repair and DHT

    I appreciate your concern as evidenced by your long posts but between the two of us you are the dogmatic one. People on muscle boards seem to get really sensitive about DHT. I have not seen anything that would lead me to think that you understand the relationship. Please be more specific...

  12. muscle repair and DHT

    I will stick with the mainstream science position that DHT is the culprit until I see better evidence to the contrary. According to many posts on this board and including from the Matrix, controlling E2 is not easy. Controlling DHT, however, is very easy if you want to lower it. For me, AI...

  13. Anti-aging doctors

    I was not addressing the question about whether a doctor should or should not work with the Matrix. The fact he had established such an unusual relationship is either to his credit or to the doctor's discredit. Your position is clear but I'm agnostic on this subject. Either you are assuming...

  14. muscle repair and DHT

    Point by point reply. 1) Large scale studies have shown that dutasteride decreases the incidence of prostate cancer although there is a debate about whether is slightly increases the rate of high grade cancers. My position on this debate is detailed earlier in this thread. These studies do not...

  15. Anti-aging doctors

    It is hard enough for researchers to stay abreast of their specialties let alone doctors that have to spend their time seeing patients. A layperson is someone that is not an expert in a given field of knowledge. Someone that studies a field extensively can become an expert in it regardless of...

  16. muscle repair and DHT

    I went ahead and did some experimentation. Currently, I have 3 separate long term muscle/tendon injuries affecting my lower legs (>4 years), the back of my left knee (> 1year) and my shoulders (>6 months). I got some DHT cream and started to apply it to my lower legs. The recommended dosage...

  17. Anti-aging doctors

    OK, your point about the salesman thing rings true but I have to say some things in defense of the Matrix. We all have to make a living and this is at least part of how he does it. It is obvious that he can't just give away all his advice for free and expect to have any paying customers. You...

  18. Sexual Dysfunction, No Libido, Depression-The Matrix and Others

    Thanks for the updates. I've been away from the boards for a while too. I was looking for a new job. Now that I have a new position I am back poking around. I'm not surprised that you did not solve all your problems already but at least it seems that you made some progress. These are...

  19. Sexual Dysfunction, No Libido, Depression-The Matrix and Others

    I have been checking back to see if the NutraEval test revealed something useful.

  20. Inspiration to others - .never give up

    Great news! I hope it holds up. I'd love to feel normal again some day.
