You may know something that I am after.TripDog said:Just make sure you take Finasteride,or Dutasteride,and you can pretty much keep dht normalized..regardless of what kind of test..I recomend the finasteride systematic,and using duta topical,mixed with minoxidill,and spirolactone.

TripDog said:Dutasteride systematic is imo too strong,unless your on a test cycle.Like I am.I gave the example of what i take and it actully grows hair back on a test e cycle.I would go with the sustanon.Using duta topicly Does help regardless of what some random dude says.....tried and true...If i were you I would switch to finasteride orally...duta is way too strong,and has a half life of 5 weeks....fina is a few days.(unless your on a crazy test cycle) im only doing 250 a week
I beleve if you read my post you will see I am agreeing with you whole heartedly.......................pmgamer18 said:WTF are you guys trying to do this this guy kill his sex life.
Finasteride will do this there is a whole web site of men that are a mess from using that crap.

LOL, low libido, erectile dysfunction, you'll be saying gyno next. I've been on propecia since 2002 and now i've switched to the REALLY STRONG STUFF dutasteride, den den den!!!! Honestly man, these side effects are minimal (thats if you are prone to them) , hell i've probably had them but barley noticed them at all, infact i may up the dosage. If a man can get messed up using finasteride, he must of been very sickly to start with.pmgamer18 said:WTF are you guys trying to do this this guy kill his sex life.

Topical treatments are a nice complementry in conjunction with finasteride or dutasteride, not instead of, that's if you are serious about losing your hair.Dr. John said:Finasteride is, IMPO, nothing short of poison. It should never be taken, nor its competitor, Dutasteride.
There is absolutley no reason whatsoever to worry about maintaining "normal range" for DHT. In fact, serum DHT assays are a very poor biomarker for actual intracellular 5-AR activity.
If you want to protect your hair, use a topical preparation.

So it's a bad idea to take dutagen or propecia (that the doctor probably presribed in the first place) than jabbing yourself with test e and stacking it with other orals and recovering your own hormone levels with more drugs?jcam222 said:First as I said in a previous post SOME people can use this stuff with no apparent problems. Thats GREAT and I am glad for those that can I truly am.
I have never and I mean NEVER flamed anyone on here. This is my favorite board and has been a place I call home for a few years damn near. I gotta call this one like i see it though.
Your attitude SUCKS!! It is obvious from your tone AND level of knowledge that you dont even know what being a "real man" means. The board motto of Learn, Teach , Lead is something that most here follow and its what makes the board special. You are not doing any of those things when you dish out your bs attitude.
Im talking about keeping your barnet. What do people do if they want big muscles, they take steroids and are aware of the side effects. Same goes for your hair, what do you do if you don't want to be a baldie and it REALLY bothers you, you take the hair pills and are aware that you might get a few sides.jcam222 said:Can you elaborate as to why you feel systemic surpression of DHT is necessary as opposed to control at the binding sites on the scalp?
I would think your contention would have to be that the topicals are ineffective at maintaining levels of effectiveness throughout a 24 hour day.
Also out of curiosity are you talking about using the combo of oral/topical during normal hormonal levels (whether self produced or HRT) or are you referring to times when test and DHT are supraphysiological?

yeah but who's gonna wanna s**g a baldie?Hyde12 said:I would personally rather lose some hair than lose my sex drive. Hey my hair is short anyway because im in the military![]()
I hope your not a real doctor, the world would be in trouble, who have I insulted? finasteride and dutasteride are the way forward if you want to keep your mop, either tolerate the sides or go for the gentler topicals and accept the fact that they arn't very good.Dr. John said:If you took one moment and actually learned a little of what you speak, you would know that this Forum is vehemently anti-steroid.
I will let you know that I am already weary of your smart alec, unintelligent, insulting comments. Straighten up and fly right, or go somewhere else.
dobebrief said:yeah but who's gonna wanna s**g a baldie?
I would love to hear the name of topical that work.Dr. John said:You are mistaken here as well. Topicals are profoundly more effective than systemic treatment. And without the sides.
I am sure Dr. J will answer you but if you care to hear it heres my general thought.JanSz said:I would love to hear the name of topical that work.
Rogaine did not, for me at least, but then I do not need it now since I have to fight my v high DHT,
first with Proscar now with Avodart.
As for Avodart,
my suspicion is that the problem is with dose size.
The pill (gel-cap) is too potent, but it is hard to make smaller pieces of it.
Avodart stays in the system for months, so the dose must be at the just right level.
I can go jojo with my DHT, using it daily as prescribed, DHT=29, stopped Avodart for six weeks DHT=226(30-85).
Now I am trying, not sure yet, once a week or once every other week, would like to get my DHT=80.
Any ideas?

I do not want to take my DHT down, when it is at 29 I am having ED problems. I just want to keep it at reasonable level, top of the range but not more than that. At the moment my hair do not fall off.jcam222 said:I am sure Dr. J will answer you but if you care to hear it heres my general thought.
I dont beleive you necessarily want to take your serum DHT levels down. Specific to your hair the key is in preventing binding on the scalps AR receptors. A topical can achieve that while having far less of a chance to negatively impact healthy DHT levels and test levels for that matter.
Beyond hair there is also a good deal of research that suggests that high DHT is not as much a culprit in prostate issues as high estrogen.

SoMdHunter said:Yes he is. And even though I am new to this board, I believe a bit more open mindedness on your part would go a long way to respecting others opinions.
Besides, bald is beautiful! AND it saves on haircuts!![]()

Invalid Link RemovedDr. John said:I use a proprietary blend of Nizoral and spironolactone.
Blast that DHT at the hair follicle. But let it do its good works everywhere else.
You cannot use the 5-AR inhibitors in such an intermittent fashion.
And, as I have said, serum DHT assays are a poor biomarker for intracellular activity.
BTW, what does the word "jojo" mean?
What BID mean?Dr. John said:For you, I would use 150mg BID of DIM, and 500mg BID of TMP per day. Combined with a low glycemic diet (to reduce serum insulin levels), your prostate should shrink--without using the nasty 5-AR Inhibitors.
Thank you doctor.Dr. John said:Twice per day.
Check your snail mail and e-mail.Dr. John said:I was referring to a standard preparation of DIM.
When do I get my $50? lol

If that were the case, they wouldn't have made propecia.
Thank you doctor.
Now $50 question.
Wonder if I could get clarification on DIM.
-------
My dose is:
"For you, I would use 150mg BID of DIM"
I understand that is 2x150=300mg of DIM daily
My source of DIM will be Invalid Link Removed
it content is described as:
..............
Serving Size: 1 Tablet Amount/Serving %DV
Indolplex® Complex 120 mg *
modified food starch, 25% diindolylmethane (DIM), d-alpha tocopheryl succinate, silicon dioxide, and phosphatidylcholine
................
so each tablet contains 0.25x129=40mg of DIM
To get my 300mg/day dose
300/40=7.5 tablets daily
Is that correct?
Lots of DIM isnt it??
Have I missunderstood your directions?
================================================
I am not sure what to make of all the phosphatidylcholine that I will be taking with Indolplex tablets..
With in supplements that I am already taking, there is
Phosphatidylcholine (from soy) 150 mg
---
Alpha-Glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline (A-GPC) 600 mg
---
Phosphatidylserine 100 mg
[SharpPS Gold™ Conjugated Phosphatidylserine-DHA
(std. to 45% PS and 8% DHA) and phosphatidylserine]
---
Phosphatidylcholine-Grape Seed Extract 150 mg
[Contains 50 mg of Leucoselect® Phytosome™ grape
seed extract (95% polyphenols) bound to 100 mg of
phosphatidylcholine from soy]
---
Didn't know that of the Indolplex product.
I use Nick Delgado's Estroblock product. As some of you know, I served as his company's Medical Director for several years.
I still till this day have not seen any clincal studies done on rats or humans to confer this.
Dear Sir,
Clinical studies looking at serum estradiol levels before and after
BioResponse DIM are only now in progress based on the collaboration
between BioResponse LLC and the National Cancer Institute. Earlier
published work looking at DIM in plasma generated from oral I3C showed
no change in serum estradiol levels. What did change was an increase in
the metabolism of Estrone the less active circulating form of estradiol.
Increased metabolism of Estrone to 2-hydroxy Estrone was found.
So, DIM itself is not a inhibitor of aromatase or a means to lower
estradiol which replaces the use of arimidex. DIM can be taken in
conjunction with arimidex. This helps maintain high 2-hydroxy estrogen
levels which may be beneficial for the prostate gland.
Kind regards,
Michael A. Zeligs, M.D.

She turned 3 Feb 5th....(sorry were way off topic)
I just had to show her off..shes my angel.
As a side note while many seem to have a decent experience with finasteride I thought my sex drive might never normalize after I took it for about a year.
Please share your reasoning behind such a statement.
