Im a long time member of this forum who is still trying to find the answer to this problem, and I believe my opinion is an educated one based on the fact that I have lived and breathed this condition for so long and I have talked to many, many doctors, bodybuilders and fellow sufferers of both finasteride issues and that of general endocrine dysfunction. Nothing that ive read here has caught my eye as much as JN’s post on Masteron and supplementing DHT.
The main point of my post is to try and to try and persuade you guys out there to keep it simple. While its good to think outside the box, we cannot deny that the one thing we all have in common is that we took a 5ar inhibitor. Its as simple as that. What does a 5ar inhibitor do? It inhibits 5ar. So then, our problem must be in the area of 5ar.
Why do we not treat or suspect 5ar as the root cause of our problems if it were this easy? Because 5ar is hard to measure accurately in the body and it is also hard find medications to treat it. Treating 5ar deficiency (if this is what it is) is generally outside of normal practice for most doctors and therefore is yet another hurdle and another reason for us to take a short cut by trying to blame these problems on other things.
Ive read all kinds of theorys for the possible cause of this horrid syndrome we are suffereing from. Some good, some bad, some rediculous. After reading them all I have come to the conclusion that yes, I think we are suffering from at least one or a few of these health problems: adrenal issues, dhea issues, possibly thyroid, depression, low testosterone, high estrogen and low DHT to name a few and a some of us took SSRI’s too. I am sure when you almost completely block DHT activity in a mans body all of these things will be affected, that is a no brainer.
But there is one thing that has sparked a response to almost everyone who tried it both directly and indirectly and that is DHT supplementation. This is somthing that simply cannot be ignored IMO. I truely beleive the answer (I have always beleived it IS one main thing we are missing) is some form of DHT supplementation or finding a way or restarting DHT production in the body. Think about it - so many of us have tried all mannor of drugs, herbs tonics, diets etc and none of them even budge our symptoms. But we have a handfull of guys who have had success either via direct DHT supplementation or indirectly via TRT.
Also I refer back to the annymous poster who claimed he was a doctor. He also suggested supplementing with high doses of DHT. Someone on this forum called him out as being a pharmacuticle doctor trying to “give us a hint”. There is a lot of reason to suspect this IMO and even if he isnt, he is still a doctor and one who has added a lot of reasearch to his own knowledge and experience as a doctor.
I put it to you all - why not exhaust the most obvious culprit before we waste valuable time, money and resources on some other theory? I really think JN is a breath of fresh air to these forums and I for one think he is dead right. We must think logically and keep our heads screwed on and work at this together. If we keep focused, im sure a positive outcome will come.
