I will soon explain the masteron protocol, masteron is not the final drug though
Androstanolone
Stanolone
Those are two different names for dht (that were one commercially available), the reason Pfs has never been properly treated is not because it's difficult to treat, on the contrary. Pfs can be treated with dht replacement, but here is the problem, dht does not exist in the USA or anywhere I know of. All there is is this crappy gel called Andractim, and pills called Proviron, none are strong enough. To make matters worse, it doesn't exist on the black market on steroid sites either. I finally found it, it is in powder form and you can have a compound pharmacy mix it for you into an injectable. It used to be commercially available, but body builders had masteron and never realized the difference between dht and masteron.
They often think it is dht, so the closest thing available is Masteron, and it must be injected with testosterone, in other words, masteron makes testosterone work. It does so by acting as an anti estrogen 24/7 release. Also, it's similarity to dht makes our body recognize it as dht, after a few weeks we get sickly horny and builds get huge from the test and masteron working.
The problem is that real dht kills estrogen by binding to it and irreversibly inhibiting it, masteron blocks it from affecting our muscles, penis, libido. Estrogen recirculates and our dht is suppressed, so there is no dht to kill estrogen, it comes back and gives water retention and that estrogen mood. Ai's help fix this (as well as a food propionate protocol), but while masteron works, the long term solution is actual injectable dht. Injectable dht provides all the same benifits as masteron, only it kills off estrogen, so it solves all our problems.
So while Moonman is going on masteron, the end goal is actual dht. So this is why Pfs has been untreated, not because we have some androgen resistant disorder, but quite simply because we don't produce adequate dht as our 5ar is suppressed and test is aromatized. Guys point to Proviron and Andractim gel, but both of those are extremely weak, it took me 20 Proviron pills spaced out 1 an hour to get test to work. In a normal guy who may show as having high test, with a suppressed 5ar, he really doesn't have high test. Most of the testosterone he produces is being aromatized, so even if you block the estrogen, he is only getting a small dose of his own test being reduced to dht.
Dht levels show up normal to low, but neurosteroidal is where the problems occur (in the brain). If dht injections were readily available in the USA or any country, this condition would immediately be treated. Awor concluded he was androgen resistant and never even tried injectable dht, never even tried injectable masteron. All he tried was Andractim gel, which is so weak that my friend who doesn't have Pfs said he couldn't feel anything from it, I tried it and felt nothing from it. So with guys using their natural test and most if it being aromatized, it doesn't matter if they have good levels really.
This condition usually will have to be treated exogenously, injecting test provides a steady stream of testosterone, but we cannot reduce it to dht and we aromatize it. The estrogen overwhelms our system and starts shutting things down. With one injection of dht, the dht would irreversibly deactivate estrogen and allow our body to reduce test to dht (enough to regulate neurosteroidal activity). The Dht would replace our dht that is low, and we would be normal, actually better than normal.
Masteron is an excuse for dht, but it works, and after Moonman uses it and reverses Pfs after 10 years, it will disprove this theory of androgen resistence. If injectable dht (or even masteron) were prescribable, Dr Goldstein or Dr Jacobs, or any doctor with half a brain would write it, and that would be it. Instead you guys are all helpless as you need body builder knowledge to use it, so guys here have taken it alone incorrectly and shut their systems down. There is DHT powder that can be formulated by a compound pharmacy into dht, that would be it for us, so this is why Pfs has never been properly treated. I have known this for quite some time, but I believe we can recover, so I took the recovery option, as DHT is a lifetime commitment with Pfs I think.
If my doctor could prescribe it, I would just go on it, I would know I could always get more. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know dht replacement fixes non responders, or all of us if we wanted to take the easy way out. Yet no one has tried it correctly except JN who concluded the same things as I have. If you take Proviron it just shuts down your own dht and then you become even more estrogen dominant, it also lowers your testosterone as well. Andractim does the same thing, so dht replacement must be an extended water injection, that way a steady stream is released along side the testosterone injection.
As for masteron doses, about 50mg of masteron propionate about 3 times a week, and then a low dose of testosterone, probably test propionate daily at 10mg to minimize estrogen. It took about 3 weeks for my body to recognize masteron as dht and make me super horny, and my shut down dick became extremely potent and big and active and super sensitive. So masteron must be steady state in your system and then you inject testosterone and you will feel great. However, with pure dht, you could inject it and use any form of testosterone and respond perfectly!
So guys who say they have high testosterone is rather meaningless, what good is high testosterone if you don't have the 5ar activity to reduce it to dht? So you are getting high doses of estrogen, and maybe only getting 1/5th of your actual testosterone (just making a guess as everyone is different). So in finbasteride's case, he took a huge dose of arimidex, too much, felt good for 12 hours and then his estrogen lowered too much. If he had taken a lower dose he would have had that same good feeling he had for 12 hours. The only problem is low 5ar activity means essentially most of his test is not being used.
It can seem like nerve damage as when everything shuts down hormonally, nothing works. You go and inject testosterone and it mostly gets aromatized, makes you feel like shit and you "crash." So this condition has given the "illusion," of androgen non response, but it's simply not true. I'm about to substantiate my claims and theories with a real life experiment. While I believe 5ar can be recovered (as I am recovering mine), some guys may just be too suppressed, or not have the patience to recover it. I will use Moonman as the example and show that there is no nerve damage, can't you guys see how this can easily be mistaken? Then the 5ar enzymes perform actions, 5ar type 1, 2, and 3. If you read the actions of these enzymes they are consistent with the symptoms guys here have. Look at 5ar type 3, it is responsible for occular and neurological function. This would give the "illusion" if neurological damage, but that's all it is.
I believe long term on my protocol (or one similar) guys will recover, but if they don't, or can't, dht replacement. Our neurosteroids are messed up because of the low 5ar activity in our brain, there is a chain of neurosteroids that are being affected by this. I prefer natural recovery, we should try to induce our system back, there are lots of guys who have recovered after 4 years or so. When I called Avodart, the pharmacist working their told me that the 1% of guys who had persistent symptoms recovered after 4 years.
I have noticed a 4 year trend in recovery stories. The problem here in this forum is that when something doesn't work right away, guys give up. This condition obviously takes a while to recover from, but making the conditions right (like I have) allows normal function and recovery. Any exogenous dht will shut down our own dht, so it's a long term option. It could take 6 months on this protocol to induce 5ar recovery for all I know. Doing nothing and hoping you naturally recover is a bad idea, estrogen causes cancer, it's a risky decision unfortunately. If you don't have strong enough testosterone levels to hammer away at your system and induce recovery, there is no way your system will recover on its own.
As dr Jacobs once told me, many guys have high total test, but low bio available test, that is deceptive, as the total test isn't what matters. It's a complicated disorder, but certainly not one without a logical treatment. Soon we will see for ourselves, is there a chance I am wrong? Of course, but I doubt it, based on all my experiences, all the posts I read, and all that I know. Someone not understanding all factors as I have, just came up one day and said this is androgen non response. Then guys started saying we don't respond to testosterone. Gelhead posted it just yesterday, he states clearly we "don't respond to test." Yet I'm responding to a complex protocol, but my responses to normal test were the same as everyone here. It's not as if my observations are crazy, Dr Goldstein seems to follow a similar path, only yet again, he is using very crappy drugs. The only form of DHT he uses is telling guys to buy Andractim off the net. He doesn't even know about Masteron or injectable pure testosterone.
The DHT option should be used as a personal decision of the sufferer, to end it right there. Meanwhile you have guys blowing their brains out before ordering DHT off the net and injecting it and then injecting test. Why? It's complicated to get real DHT, only masteron is easier to acquire. People here think doctors will just prescribe DHT, doctors know nothing about DHT injections, they don't exist in modern medicine. Not understanding what this condition is results in the conclusion that this is non response to testosterone. That was my initial fear, but I disproved it after months of work.
Soon I will demonstrate that either I am right or wrong with MoonMan, the nuclear option will be tested. I hope this clears things up for you guys.
