Estrogen receptor damage from AI

Have you tried essential oils (Rosemary oil, Tea Tree oil, Levander oil). These are highly estrogenic oils. Also Co-enzyme Q10 is estrogenic. It gave me sensitive nipples. These are anti androgens so beware of everything that comes with low androgen systems.

Beware of DHT

This is not frantic or misleading. It is exactly what the study I posted establishes. "These observations suggest that DHT is responsible for the detrimental effects on cardiac function/morphology induced by testosterone. This is in agreement with our previous reports showing DHT as an inductor...

Beware of DHT

Whatever I have been taking in the past doesn't matter. It is what is happening for the last 1 and a half years that all clearly points to DHT being the culprit. Labs are not needed to establish the link in this case because the effects are immediate. They do not happen overtime. If there are...

Initially the regular TRT in 2016 was 35 mg twice a week. Higher doses didn't seem to help. After that HCG 500 iu twice a week for about 2 months. After that there was no fixed dose or frequency though the T dose was almost always very little (10 to 20 mg).

Beware of DHT

I Started low dose TRT in 2016 for mainly libido/erection issues but also had mood and concentration problems. Wasn't much successful and cortisol went too low so quit after 8 or 9 months. Then tried HCG which worked for about 2 months but then E got too high and it stopped working at all. From...
