Very interesting. So in your case, initially Finesteride works by basically selectively blocking one, several or all 5AR to stop the conversion of T to DHT to prevent hair-loss. This has disrupted/retarded the AR signalling and 5AR activity.
At this point to me it seems there is only one reliable way but to reactivate those two components; the AR in the tissues and thus in turn the 5AR and thus T/DHT conversion… but going through your theory, it seems you think there is a tri-dependent relationship between AR, 5AR and the T to DHT conversion. I wonder if activating one as a tinder can act as a spark to jump start the other two…
I wonder that is probably way people on this site were so drawn to the creatine as it instantly metabolises T to DHT and gives them instant relief. I’m wondering if creatine at low doses (say half a teaspoon every second day for an example) can give a stimulatory effect to activate 5AR and thus the T/DHT conversion which will slowly awaken the down regulated AR in parts of the body over a sustained period of time. Slowly increasing circulating 5AR in the body may stimulate the AR is just my thought. In turn, the AR will be stimulated to produce more DHT, thus stimulating 5AR and thus the tri-dependent relationship starts working again.
This combining with a 5AR supportive diet and resistance exercise which I believe will stress/urge and demand the body to restart this tri-dependent relationship. Exercise is likely to deplete DHT, and thus when depleted will demand the body to produce more through the tri-dependent relationship - this is where the 5AR will need alot of support through 5AR support foods, low dose supplementation (as it has been selectively damaged blocked from Finesteride).
In my case though, I have not selectively blocked 5AR but just damaged the tri-dependent relationship thought exogenous DHT (disrupting the signalling of AR and 5AR). In which case, I believe the same approach as above (for me) is worth a shot.
