Looks like Creatine is a temporary thing at best and something that will interfere with androgen signalling / T to DHT conversion permanently at worst.
It seems that the high that people experience when supplementing creatine is a small temporary boost in DHT which makes them think they are cured. However, this obviously ends when they stop the exogenous supplementation, not to mentioned the increasing creatine dosages they need to feel the same effects as time goes on.
At this point I am going to hold off the creatine. I did take some and feel a bit better but its definitely a slippery slope. I think at this time I am just going to stick with natural methods to increase DHT (food, exercise, cold showers etc.). This should hopefully naturally stimulate whatever is damaged to heal…hopefully.
Having said that, I have no idea what my DHT levels are. If your DHT levels are high, I doubt you would be having any issues and would not be on this forum (thoughts on this assertion @Sibelio?).
The issue at this point is a signalling, receptor and/or 5 Alpha Reductase issue… I think the way forward is only natural means to naturally heal. Supplements would only offer a temporary solution, unless of course they have stimulatory effects that will support long term self sufficiency.
I think at a minimum one should measure his DHT level and 5 Alpha Reductase levels to at least narrow down where the issues are, then go from there.
