Justquit- don’t even explain of engage with them. They offer nothing. I am so happy I have found this condition to be reversible after 2 years, I wish I never read all this negativity.
Finatruth, if you look at the negativity, it is always from British people, because of their socialized medical system, that they tout as so great, they have a bunch of generic shitty doctors. Their mindset is that hormones are “dangerous,” while our healthcare system may suck for those with no money, we do have better doctors and medicine.
I am no longer responding to anyone who criticizes me or my comments, they will be ignored, it’s this attitude that has kept me from trying masteron for 6 months. I have 100% sexual function and libido back, my dick is hard as long as I want it to be, even if I am not that horny. I wish I had that months ago when I was dating this girl. I was not sure I would ever get back my normal sexual function, I had unreliable sexual function, not is is perfect, and my muscles too.
I plan to stop posting for a while probably, wait till I have some better news to report, the negativity here is really bad for my recovery. Negative energy from the Brits here is horrible.
Disagree with you criticising socialised healthcare:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Heal … ms_in_2000
The World Health Organization ranks UK as 18th and USA as 38th. Also USA spends the most per capita on healthcare.
Socialised healthcare didn’t produce Propecia either, unbridled capitalism did.
As a forewarning, Dr. Jacobs thinks he has treated way more patients than he actually has. He may not have treated any in fact. I have personally consulted with him and after nothing worked I visited other doctors. I got in touch with his assistant after more than a year elapsed (still stuck with this condition) and she told me that she assumed I was cured because I had not spoken with them. You may want to look at his blogs as well where he says a bunch of guys that come in thinking they have PFS end up having something else.
If he is OK with your protocol and other guys are brave enough to try it, then will begin to learn if your process works. Don’t get super excited based on whatever he says/does not say because he’s not completely on the same page as us.
How about Dr Irwin?
You’re joking right? The nhs is bloody awful. Take away the incentive of private treatment (money) and NHS Doctors don’t give a fuck if you live or die as long as it doesn’t reflect on them. Unless you have the skills required to manipulate them, they’re useless and play the referral game. I’ve been bounced around more than a fucking ball at a Globetrotters game. My GP believes me (because I played on his ego) but lacks the education to treat me. If he were to experiment (which I wouldn’t allow anyway) he’d get struck off the medical register like all of our best Doctors are. Google Doctor Sarah Myhill or Doctor Gordon Skinner.
Socialism and communism don’t work, it’s great for the masses, I’m sure the majority of UK people are in better health over all because of free medical. However, the best doctors are in the U.S., why wouldn’t they be? Here they can make more money for their work, you can go to shitty doctors here or the best, it just costs. That’s capitalism, it’s a different philosophy, I debated a Russian about this the other night. Anyway, the UK is def far behind in medical advancements, I’m sorry but whenever the premier of these socialist countries gets cancer or their wife does they immediately fly to the U.S. and abandon their socialist system for the best capitalist doctors who may be motivated by greed, but greed breeds competition and better doctors. The premier of Canada brought his wife to the U.S. when she had cancer, it was a big scandal.
Let’s not get into politics though, I shouldn’t have said anything, but while you guys wait to see doctors in the UK I can see one right away because do have money. It’s not fair, but that’s capitalism and it seems to make the best of everything. I was simply making a point because UK people don’t even know about anti aging medicine because their system is for the masses and this is an elective medicine for people who can afford it. Before I had pfs it was great, my luck I end up with a rare condition that makes it stop working. Make no mistake though, it’s that field of medicine that provided me relief from symptoms.
Frustrated, I have no delusions about him, but my options are limited, I already laid out $650, I hope he does something before asking for more money. I’m trying to be positive, he is a smart guy and I’ll exhaust all avenues with him before I give up. It’s worth noting that most of my improvement was after emailing him and his suggestion about anti estrogen therapy. So he def deserves a chance, at least you guys can sit back and watch and don’t have to dish out the money. I’m willing to try whatever he suggests and even quit my protocol so long as what he suggests isn’t something I already tried and know doesn’t work.
I didn’t choose to be my own doctor, but I have had little choice here, we all deal with this in our own ways, I’m not willing to live with this for years. I have all the ingredients to a treatment, I just need to tweak them all. I hope dr Jacobs will help me, I sm being positive, I’m not going to be negative, he may have new theories and ideas since you guys last heard. We shouldn’t criticise the only doctor even trying to help us, this isn’t easy to treat. Thought I recommend you guys take a look at praying to heal’s protocol, he had s great doctor. I saved his protocol as I was impressed and he recovered with it too.
I just have bigger expectations, I want full restoration, at least I got the dick and libido back to 100% and found another means of making my muscles work like before again. That’s very significant, now I just have to find a practical way to control the estrogen, dr Jacobs is an expert in that, so I’m optimistic. I am a bit discouraged by the idea that this could be an antibody, that makes too much sense and makes us fucked, but it’s just a theory (though a good one).
We need to get someone to test us for it, can someone contact the researchers at Harvard?
If you’re going to spend the money, Dr Goldstein in san diego is your man.
Goldstein does TRT.
He does a lot more than that. He’s towm8ers doctor if I have my facts right.
Well, I already paid dr Jacobs, if he doesn’t do anything then I will go to Goldstein next, is his info on the website?
Fuck it, I’ll sign up with Goldstein too maybe hit this from two different approaches? What do you guys think? I think that’s a good idea, 2 perspectives at the same time, yes it’s expensive but I want to try everything.
If you can afford it why not. LOL I wish we all had money, we could all fight this as hard as you
I'm a fighter, a problem solver, I was asked to be an exec of a company because of my skills, I'll obsess over a problem till its solved. When I'm depressed I don't ever give up, I fight harder, I will exhaust every avenue, every doctor, every drugs and hormone until I solve this. I do have an ego, I know it, but it's why I succeed, because I believe in myself no matter what.
5 alpha, my discovery of the efficacy of synthetic dht is significant, I have not had such strong and consistant erections and sexual function since pre-pfs. I believe the reason why dht hasn't always worked for guys with pfs is because it might take months on hormones to restore sexual function. Androgen deprivation is damaging.
Remember that I always kept the hormones pumping even when I felt like fucking garbage, the crash you all went through I endured every week for the past 6 months till I found ways to control it. Now I know the crash is estrogen dominance, that if we had access to aromasin during the crash it would have stopped it. There still would be low dht and test, but that isn't a painful feeling like estrogen dominance is (pure misery).
I believe this forum has a lot of smart guys with a lot of experience and will, if we pool our resources we can defeat this. So you guys can't afford to see the doctors, I will, and using the knowledge I have gained, I will build upon this protocol or try new ones. However, I have little faith there is some magical way to get my 5ar system to start converting test to dht again.
I didn't think replacing dht would do anything, but that at least should give you hope 5 alpha, I have as bad a case of pfs as anyone, I just have been managing it. I am starting to believe that it's quite possible our bodies have created an antibody to the 5ar enzyme. Our bodies are probably attacking it, the good news is that I know now that replacing test, dht and controlling estrogen could give us normal lives. The irony is that we won't break out or lose hair lol, but I much rather have my system working again. The synthetic 5ar enzyme is my next destination, and I am going to pursue a test for the 5ar antibody to see if that's the problem. I'm sure dr Jacobs will help me, I hope we don't have an antibody to the enzyme, hopefully this is damage that can be repaired.
I want to try the synthetic enzyme, I'm convinced it will work, I lost 6 months to this, I won't lose anymore time. Even though I managed to control the symptoms, I have ptsd, I'm not the same person. Tonight a girl was lecturing me that I'm good looking, successful, smart, why am I depressed, she doesn't understand. Even after this gets fixed, it's like you got out of a war, don't expect to be normal right away. At least we are making progress, almost there, we have options now man. I plan to try Primobolan next, it's a better form of injectable dht than masteron, Eden had great success with it.Justquit, do you have any idea why my DHT came back over double the high end of the range? 5.20 nmol/L (0.90-2.30)
I just contacted Dr Goldstein myself to ask that and other questions.
You don’t have PFS Chris. That’s why!
It could be for the same reason we see testosterone levels rise after are crash. I think the are endocrine systems know something is wrong so thats one thing it’s doing attempting to fix the problem. But as you have seen mentioned in this thread many times The hormones (probable more specifically DHT) is not doing what it’s supposed to be doing, most likely because are 5 alpha reductase enzymes/system is not regulating and using the DHT in places like the prostate.
But I know what ever issue we are having with are 5 alpha reductase enzyme/regulation can be improved. My dhea cycling in high doses combined with some of the best natural test boosters continues to give me more acne. Somthing that simply taking Testosterone never did.
Important to point out I took clomid for 2 years sense my crash which put my total T over the 1000’s never gave me acne. So of course the dhea is doing somthing that raising T never did
Of course. That’s why he spent tonnes of his time making the most comprehensive map I’ve ever seen to give people an idea of how widespread this is, speaks out against propecia when he works for a goddamned transplant doctor and spends so much time here. Being sick doesn’t give you the right to be an ass.
nopecia, actually Dr Jacobs brought that up, it may be because the 5AR was suppressed by a drug and kind of your DHT was being held back by the 5AR inhibitor, then you pull it out and the DHT surges. I don’t believe DHT can be accurately measured by tests based on my experiences with DHT replacement. I have restored sexual function 100%, I think even better than pre-PFS to be honest, it seems my dick is always ready to go if I just touch it, always hard as hell.
I would pay no mind to hormone tests, what matters is how you feel, feeling normal, and the rules of the game seem to have changed in us.
