Thanks for sharing Alex. Are you on carnivoremdiet?
How much forskolin do you take
Yes. I do.
Hi Alex,
I’m so glad you are recovering. Forskolin is strong and is manipulation our cAMP that is otherwise being limited.
Being a teacher I’m on school holidays atm and have been travelling through Bali. Yoga is my only exercise and I’m loving it.
I haven’t touched my post for a few months and have put PFS in the back of my mind…well as much as you can.
I have found a crucial study that I believe is the rot cause and can explain everything. It also connects so many post on this forum.
The study shows that when on Finasteride specific gut biome increase to degrade the drug. once you stop the drug crucial gut biome plummet - these species produce butyrate as their metabolite. Butyrate is the initial mechanism that attaches to receptors in the digestive tract and initiates the pathways leading to DNA regulation. Butyrate regulates HDAC and in turn regulates the 5AR enzyme.
This is what I believe is the root cause!
Fix the gut…fix PFS
This explains the long recovery for some, as the gut recovery is the only thing that would take this long and explains the different recovery times.
Forskolin skips the butyrate step and increases cAMP directly.
Happy for anyone to follow me on instagram and follow me on there as this place is toxic.

The only thing this doesn’t explain is why men feel worse taking TRT

That’s great! Congratulations! That’s the most solid and comprehensive theory posted on the forum in at least a month.
Since you have singlehandedly solved PFS, you will be honored by being removed from this environment of toxicity that has been stifling your scientific genius.
Good day and godspeed professor. We will certainly hear from patients outside of this forum if this cure actually works.

Im and listen… the bactery that creates butyrate is know to work on some sugar that comes from animal meat. Meaning that going carnivore could make the bacteries to increase!

I’ve been following Headsup’s protocol and have seen major improvements with my symptoms.
It’s a shame that he’s been banned. His posts were the one ray of hope on this often very depressing forum.

What are you doing? Did you feel the same as pre pfs with those symptoms relief?
The same diet/supplements as Headsup. The only thing I do different is I have a cup of coffee with ghee every morning. I also try to workout 30 mins/day 6 days a week.
I’m back to 70-80% on my best days. Brain fog, sleep, mood, and ED have all slowly improved. I do have down periods, normally after a stressful situation.
I also so noticing very good symptoms, about the ghee… is normal to be able to buy it in supermarkets? Also I do butter + coffee.
Be carefull as the poster said with exercise, it creates inflamation, this poster must have a good brain, he has connected th dots pretty well, I remember when I could not use my brain for 2 years, I was like a zombie, probably had been eating something that make me bad, well gluten for sure. Im on carnivore diet now, and just that and now added butyrate. butyrate definetly turn on something. I have had some experiences that I only had before finasteride. Probably butyrate is a patch and the final destiny is to have the same bacteria?

Guys, you gotta try this coffee with ghee thing. I’ve been doing it too and have been feeling less depressed.
What exactly are you feeling with the butyrate?
Im feeling things related to libido, less brain fog, better facosu and brain stability, and less anxiety that I have not notice since pre pfs. But the waves are slowly. Also I noticed after coffe that my “adrenals” seems to be working hard. In my opinion the creator of the thread should be allowed to write here, and answer some questions.

Yeah I agree, I feel like he was on to something.

To address the complaints and statements surrounding my permanent banning of @Headsup and reiterate the forum rules:
-
Although we share a common goal of promoting research into PFS, this forum is an entity separate from the PFS Foundation. Emailing the PFSF with grievances about this forum will only waste your time and theirs.
-
This is not a platform for unbridled free speech. The infrastructure of this forum is provided by the admins at a great expense of their time devoted to hosting, keeping the software up-to-date and functioning, and integrating special features into the site. This is done in addition to the time they devote communicating with the scientific and medical communities to further research into PFS and the greater “post-drug syndrome”. They maintain ultimate authority over this site and forum and, in collaboration with several moderators, created the community guidelines and delagated authority to us mods to enforce those guidelines, which comes at a great expense to our free time depending on the activity level and nature of posts on any given day.
-
Under the “Theories” section of the guideline it is stated:
Contributors should refrain from making declarative statements regarding the etiology of PFS without significant and specific evidence.
Rather than the OP immediately being banned for stating the cause of PFS and recommending a solution to other members in his very first post on this site, it appears the contrived Rube Goldberg mechanism of fictitious pathways was removed from the post and his descriptions of improvement and treatment regimen were left intact. He then (at some point in 35+ edits of the topic) surreptitiously added the deleted content back into the original post with a my theories disclaimer and asks you to “do the research” and “connect the dots” among the mutiple unevidenced declarations that follow in his “well researched” theory because he can’t be bothered with providing citations.
-
@Headsup then encouraged members to leave to follow him on instagram (recruiting members off of this site), then calls it “toxic” without explanation (pretty bad mannered considering this site hosted his theory full of unsubstantiated facts for 2 months and allowed him to skirt the rules). This is what ultimately resulted in the ban.
-
Please see the forum guidelines and consider limiting your participation here if you feel they may be too stifling or if you may become bitter about following them in the future.
-
If you have ideas about how the site could be improved, please share them in a post. Badmouthing the site by saying things like “this place sucks”, or “this place is toxic”, are meaningless beyond stating that you’re unhappy and will probably result in your post being deleted. Just be mindful that the current policy was carefully considered over time and included conflicting viewpoints. We can’t, and won’t, cater to everyone. Also be mindful that this is not a democracy, with the admins being the ultimate authority over the site.

Just so I understand, Headup’s well constructed theory is a no no because he didn’t correctly cite his sources, but it’s okay to author a post on the benefits of Methamphetamine.

A “well constructed” theory would cite sources. A “well constructed” theory would require no “connecting of dots” by definition. Let’s not kid anyone.
And yes, you could claim that you fully recovered after eating a diet of all used cat-litter for a week so long as you didn’t try to contrive some nonsense as to why.
There’s a big difference between a member sharing a subjective experience and a member stating a baseless theory objectively.

One of my biggest complaints about this site is the constant bickering and negativity, so I’ll end mine here.
While I don’t agree with the decision you’ve made to ban Headsup, I can say that I appreciate the work the admins do to keep this site running.
