I'll start off by saying that there are guys with PFS that have had success with herbal antiandrogens. Licorice, ginkgo biloba, and vitex berry. Anywhere from symptom improvement to full recoveries.

One in particular is Vitex. I'll look for his thread, and I know by his prior posts that he had a doctor friend, and was trying every experimental Rx. Finally claimed success with Vitex berry while on T.

I'd like to spread the word, and a discussion if these could be beneficial or work for guys despite the traditional thought of avoiding these tyles of herbs.
