I found an alternative to AndroHard since it’s no longer available. Alpha Hard http://www.forerunnerlabs.com/
It’s under-dosed compared to AndroHard so take 4 tabs at a time versus 3. I cycled through 2 bottles.
The Doc has two reasons for being conservative:
- He found that his theory of jacking T up to 1300-1400 range did NOT result in bringing DHT back to normal range or ratio.
- Since my T was jacked up to 1,867, the side effects of extremely high T (irritability, anger, aggression) caused my wife to file for divorce. She was aware of PFS and had been supportive and patient, but this TRT experiment was the last straw for her. And I was very angry with the doctor over this.
This is when I stopped taking ALL prescriptions, even anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. I was naive in thinking they would help, but for the most part, the prescriptions made matters much worse due to their own side effects. And being abandoned by my wife sent me into despair and more suicidal thoughts so I checked myself into a hospital. So this is when I actually began to take action on CDNuts plan. It took a while to collect all the details into one document, then order all the things I didn’t have and figure out a schedule for cycling.
Yeah, inconsistently using exogenous T was not a good idea. Suppose I was still afraid of getting it up too high again, but lab results showed my T and DHT dropped WAY back down after being on CDNuts plan. T was 264 and DHT was 177 but Estradiol was still ok at 20.
So this is why I started back on TRT again, and it’s also why I now suspect 3bdiol is responsible for estrogenic effects. Kind of like a stealth estrogen flying under the radar
un-detected, and interfering with TRT. But this is TBD.
I sent all the info to Dr. Goldstein about 3bdiol for our next discussion.
I can’t say for sure, but DHEA could be involved in improved DHT levels. Hard to say because I’ve cycled AlphaHard as well as Andractim (DHT Cream) along with DHEA.
I just got another two tubes of Andractim in the mail yesterday. Dr Goldstein said the dosing is TOO HIGH from the manufacturer, and to only use 2 small amounts about the size of a Peanut M&M, one on each side of rib cage or thighs. This will also make the tubes last MUCH longer. So after I finish up with Andractim in 5 or 6 months, I plan to alternate with AlphaHard again, after getting labs of course.
Lastly, if you or anyone else is interested, I’m willing to share the consolidated and revised CDNuts plan. I included some Prohormones to assist with bodybuilding and fat loss as well as AlphaHard which replaces AndroHard. I can only say that this plan was very helpful in many ways, but did NOT cure my ongoing hormone imbalance. But results may differ depending on age, DNA, how long you took propecia etc, and whether or not you TRULY DO all the things consistently…
