Begin reading at top, then you will get sto section ‘Treatment for Finasteride-Induced Impotence’.
This has been linked by a few before, but I didnt see this update. Just wanted to make sure all fellow members have seen this update. The more docs that attempt to shed light on this, the better. Well worth the read!!!
very interesting… thanks
I saw this the other day. It’s interesting that he mentions Dexamethasone as a treatment for PFS, although it seems he has done so based purely on anecdotal evidence from this forum, which is a shame as i got very excited about the possibility that he knew something that we didn’t. It’s pretty clear that he has been browsing here. Anyway, it’s great to see a Biologist with such impressive credentials taking interest in our problems. I am convinced that our symptoms stem from chronic inflammation or autoimmune issues rather than androgen resistance/ hormones so this was very interesting to see.
Overall though - the writer is claiming that through ‘cooling inflammation’ in our bodies we will not only solve our sexual issues but also cure baldness. This unfortunately leaves me very skeptical.
I did’nt find this, but full credit to whoever did.
Leave that aside. Besides were not looking for a cure for baldness.
The guy is giving his own angle. The more docs do this, the better…no?
I know were not, i couldn’t care less about my hair - im just saying. Believe me i was very happy to see this when another member showed me. I have actually been taking pharmaceutical grade fish oil and probiotics for some time now and dexamethasone is next on my treatment plan. So to suddenly see a Biologist that has held posts at Harvard amongst other places advocating the use of all three of those is great.
Quote from Dr Ayres in the comments…
“I would not use a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor unless the alternative was surgery or death.”
I wish he would answer the questions about dexamethasone and others.
I have a joint issues, so I took dexa injections for that in 2001. or 2002. while still on propecia. I noticed great improvement, but it last only couple of days. But I am off propecia for couple of yrs. Maybe it worth to try I again now.
Desperado.
I wonder where benefits of DM come from? Being as anti-inflammatory or being as immunosuppreassant?
To me look like bieing AF since some members report improvements after using NSAIDs.
I think its antiinflamatory, because corticosteroids have very strong antiinflamatoric effect. But corticosteroids are also a hormons. So all comments on this subject are welcome.
Laters, Despo.

Another post by Dr Ayers…
[Size=4]Low Dose Naltrexone
A side effect of high dose Naltrexone (e.g. 50 mg/d) is hair loss. Low dose Naltrexone (e.g. 1 mg/day, taken at night) appears to stimulate hair production and it may reverse the effects of Finasteride, since LDN improves libido.

This guy looks like he’d be great to have on our research team with his all his bio background and the fact that he has theorized a PFS treatment. Not to mention he’s in San Deigo so maybe he could work somehow with Goldstein’s PFS guys if something looked promising.
Any ever have any contact with him? Someone should at least email him about the conference no? Maybe he’d be interested in contributing.
He seems to be more focused on treating ‘baldness’. He didn’t reply to a single comment in relation to finasteride side effects.
After more careful reading looking like he mean reversing the effects of Finasteride while taking the drug and he’s not talking about PFS.
For some reason I couldn’t edit my above post? Maybe that feature has been removed due the recent abuse of it.
It’s a shame you need a compounding pharmacy to sort out a low dose version. Otherwise it’s 50 mg only:
I agree it’s good he’s taken interest, but Naltrexone has bee tried by a few members without real benefit. Plus he’s singling in on the sexual side effects only.
I don’t think the fact he’s been to Harvard or whatever matters much as there, as we all know there have been other highly educated medics like Jacobs who can’t grasp this. He also seems to approach things from a slightly quacky anti-aging angle.
Plus it’s even dafter if he’s talking about reversing side while on the drug, anyone with half a brain stops when the sides become intolerable rather than start taking even more pharmaceuticals to offset them.
Because Jacobs, shippen, and crisler have sooooo much success curing pfs already…
Er, yes that’s kind of my point. 
Well since I cant edit my posts now… because of certain people…I meant too imply that its not quackary…
