[QUOTE="tropicaldaze1950, post: 192478, member: 13651"] e Danny Bossa says, outright, that he's a biochemical outlier, since he and his doctor find that he needs 250 mg, weekly, to sexually, physically and mentally function. He also acknowledges there are men, outliers too, who do well on 35 to 50 mg, weekly. 'Outliers' is the operative word. Most men do well on 100 mg weekly, divided doses. I believe it's the same with E2. There are men who function and feel better with a high number, even if it's 100 or above, just as there are men who do better with something below 20 pg.
