Kman, Masteron (Trade name) is Drostanolone (chemical name) which is a synthetic DHT. You CANNOT acquire Masteron commercially anymore. You will note that it is illegal in USA. You cannot get it from the pharmacy with a prescription ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
That is my whole point. In order for us to try DHT injections, we have to acquire these injections through ‘other’ means. Again, that’s why bodybuilders are so useful. It’s a whole different world and I’m thankful for everything they’ve done to help me, and everything I’ve learned off them. I will repeat that I think placing ALL one’s faith into their endocrinologist can have limitations. It may be more of a hinderance than a help. Even if they wanted (and had the ability) to help and were looking to prescribe, say, DHT shots, they couldn’t!!
Added to that, most TRT regimens I’ve read on this website are total shit. Creams, no HCG added, no E2 control, T injections monthly blah blah blah…such incompetence. I don’t respect them.
I suggest people venture onto TRT websites and educate themselves.
I don’t want to use creams. For lifestyle reasons, I don’t want to wipe my balls down thoroughly before having sex. (one would have to prevent one’s partner from virilising-seriously).
Creams are such an amateur form of hormone replacement. Needles are quick, easy, more accurate in administering a certain dose etc… BB never use creams, and these guys know what they’re doing (at least the smart ones do).
I had to transport my Adiol G sample from Australia (where I live) to Calafornia, USA. But yes, I did actually think of flying to USA and getting all those tests done. That said, knowing the intimate working of the ratios of 5AR enzyme may not be that useful clinically (in terms of management), although it may be useful in a lawsuit. There is no means of specifically increasing one’s intracellular 5AR2 enzyme (via gene therapy or otherwise), so increasing the Adiol G parameter (assuming it’s low) is the best I can hope for (drugs for life).
Also, my problems are only virilisation/sexual (clinically I feel like Adiol G may be low) and I don’t suffer brainfog (possible allopregnenolone/GABA abnormality) or adrenal fatigue.
So I’m fully prepared to paper over my cracks for the rest of my life.
Good work with arginine drink. Sounds fantastic! A 70% increase in IGF1, indeed. Again, I’d still encourage the most direct and accurate means to paper over one’s cracks. Bear in mind that low IGF1 and very low IGF BP3 was not the cause of my problems.
On Drostanolone, I will recheck my IGF parameters to assess whether the supplemental DHT increases my IGF parameters (IGF 1 and IGFBP3)…(see the paper I posted previously about androgens having their effect on the liver to increase IGF production).
