Anyone Tried BAT? Bipolar androgen therapy

Seeing more about this novel approach to castration resistant prostate cancer and according to researchers is similar to what has happened to us in pfs…

Some here have self experimented but apparently this involves rasing testosterone to to super high levels followed by lowering to castration levels up and down…I’ll read more into it later but wondering how exactly and what the intervals are…

Just reading though the link posted this caught my eyes.

But with high levels of AR, the cancer cells are sitting ducks, vulnerable to the shotgun blast of a hefty dose of testosterone. “Flooding the prostate cancer cell with testosterone gums up the works: suddenly, the cancer cells have to deal with too much androgen (male hormone) bound to the receptor. This disrupts their ability to divide. They either stop growing or die.”

Isn’t this basically the main theory behind PFS? Increased AR which then gets overwhelmed when DHT comes back online (“The crash”)? And the study in which they showed AR to testosterone was much higher in PFS patients in foreskin?

Yes…And it sounds like the problem is even if it is corrected the damage is done on a cellular…

Feeling a big despondent recently. This is just horrific.
