This website is insane for me to navigate so I hope this post actually appears.

I’m writing this because I was one of the several people who experienced dramatically compromising side effects after taking finasteride in the form of Propecia. Said side effects included an essential collapse of my sexual system (no libido, impotence), brain fog, anxiety issues, depression, ‘emotional blunting,’ and fatigue.

It took me 11 years and several doctors, but I finally got a diagnosis and–lo and behold–I’m cured. I’m cured!

It turns out I had a parasitic protozoa called e. histolytica. It’s been mentioned on this website before and it seems exceedingly common globally. An estimated 10% of the population has it, but apparently it’s asymptomatic in most people.

I welcome responses to this message and will be happy to answer questions. Here are answers to questions I can think of:

  1. I was diagnosed by an actual doctor.

  2. I did eventually come to suspect I had a parasite. The suspicion only aroused once I tried an elimination diet. Wheat was fine, dairy was fine, eggs were fine, but Sugar (sucrose) triggered my symptoms to a terrible degree. The Sugar connection is what eventually led me to question parasites.

  3. I did try a few at-home remedies, and some of them were genuinely effective in abating symptoms but none of them cured the infection. It must be treated with antibiotics.

  4. Alternative treatments that offered release were avoiding sugar, Humaworm, and ParaGone. I’d personally recommend ParaGone over Humaworm, but I think they’re both effective.

  5. I also experienced relief from Lactoferrin (Jarrow’s brand), and found they made the other treatments (including antibiotics) much more effective.

  6. The antibiotics that cured me were metronidazole (500mg 3x a day for 10 days) and paromomycin (1,000mg 3x a day for 5 days). Relief came pretty quickly–I felt 90% on top of the world by day three.

  7. I have no idea where I caught e. histolytica. I assume it was in my body for a while, and then the Propecia made it rage out of control. I wish I had caught this 11 years sooner, but I’m just glad to have it done with.

If you or anyone you know is having problems with Propecia, please see a doctor about e. histolytica! I had a stool test come back negative initially, but it showed up on a retest. I’d recommend finding an infectious/tropical disease specialist in your area, or a gastroenterologist familiar with e.h.

Again, I’ll try and respond to any replies to this. I wish everyone the best of luck, and I really hope this works for all fellow Propecia sufferers, as I finally feel like I have my life back now.

Are there people who were cured 100%

Congratulations Moonman. Really happy for you.

My questions:

  • When was the diagnosis and how long it’s been since your recovery?
  • Are you taking anything at this moment?
#3

GREAT GREAT NEWS! Congratulations :slight_smile:
The first thing i want to ask is how are you so sure that this is the parasite to blame for (your) pfs ? This is the only one that came back positive on your tests ? And more importantly, are you like, 90% pre-pfs or do you feel that your are completely cured ?

#4

He is just copying the post of another person…

#5

Not my recovery guys. Just a copy/paste.

#6

That is a major doubt… Having pfs for 11 years and not posting recovery here …

#7

I agree, if they had PFS for 10 years they would have found this site and posted here. You find strange posts around the net some saying take dutasteride and other strong antibiotics to fix PFS. Could this invalidate ones right to sue Merck?

#8

brongfogboy followed the same steps and claims he’s recovered completely… he seems like he has been 100% for the last month or so now. Alot of people are waiting to see if it holds, and what to understand from this.

He also posted that he was on the way to recovery in July 2015 though … so kind of makes you wonder if he would have been ok either way.

Cool to see that BrongBongBoy did this exact protocol and recovered.

Here is a recovery I just found… guy took doxycylcine for 3 months
hairloss-reversible.com/disc … 1096276177

LISTEN!! I WAS GOING THROUGH INCRADIBLE LONG TERM SIDE EFFECTS OF USING PROPECIA. I WENT TO IMPOTENCE, TESTACULES PAIN, PROSTATE PAIN, BREST PAIN, AMAIZING PUSH AND SPOTS ON MY FACE, OILY SKIN. I EVEN THOUGHT I AM NOT COMPATIBLE OF USING PROPECIA AND WANTED TO QUIT FROM IT.

FIRST, YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT HORMONS ARE VERY, VERY DELICATE. THIS IS THE CRUCIAL THING TO UNDERSTEND HOW, CAN ANYONE MAN GET RID OF THIS.

FIRST REALIZE THAT FINASTERIDE HATES ALKOHOL AND CIGARETS IN LONG TERM. FINASTERID WILL TRY TO KILL YOU, TO SQUEZE YOU, IF YOU WILL NOT DISCONTINUE SMOKING AND DRINKING. IT WILL ONLY TOLERATE 5% OF ALKOHOL BEER OR BACARDI… BUT NOT TO THE LEVEL OF BEING DRUNK. IF YOU WILL GET DRUNK, FORGET ABOUT GOOD SEX FOR 3-4 DAYS (MUCH LOWER SEX DRIVE), AFTER WHICH FINASTERIDE WILL REACT NORMALY. SMOKING IS A PROSTATE KILLER, WHILE TAKING PROPECIA. AFTER 1-2 YEARS OF SMOKING AND TAKING PROPECIA, YOU WILL REALIZE WHAT IS THE TRUE DEFFINITION OF PAIN.

nOW THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!!! IF YOU ALREADY BECOME TO THE LEVEL OF SERIOUS TOXICATION, YOU HAVE TO MOST OF THE SIDE EFFECTS WHICH I WROTE ABOVE, YOU HAVE TO DETOXICATE YOURSELF. I HAD THAT LUCK THAT I HAD RUSH AND SPOTS ON MY FACE. DOCTOR HAD THE NOTICABLE REASON TO GIVE ME ANTYBIOTIC CALLED UNIDOX = DOXYCYCLINIUM 100MG. I TOOK IT FOR 3 MONTHS, AFTER WHICH MY BODY BRECAME DETOXICATED. IF YOU WILL NOT REACH THIS LEVEL OF TOXICATION WITH SKIN RUSH AND SPOTS ON YOUR FACE, YOU MAY FIND DIFICULTIES IN GETING PRESCRIPTION FOR THIS SLIGHT FORM OF DOXYCICLINIUM. THIS IS VERY CRUCIAL IN THE WHOLE PROCESS OF COMMING OUT OF SERIOUS TOXICATION BECAUSE IT IS POISONED AND NEADS TO BE CLEANED WHILE STOPING DRINKING AND SMOKING.

ALSO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT MY SEX DRIVE ON PROPECIA IS JUST AS HIGH AS I IT WAS ALWAYS BEFORE… I NEED IT PERMANENTLY. HORMONS ARE VERY DELICATE REMEMBER!!! BECOUSE YOU DON’T REALIZE IT… GREATINGS.

These recoveries with antibiotics are bullshit, I think. I’m on the 7th day of the same course of antibiotics and feel no different. These people who claim recovery probably didn’t even have PFS in the first place. I tried a hundred different things and only feel worse after 7 years of PFS, while my hormonal profile stayed pretty much the same.

Id say the first one was a merck shill.

Bongfog boy is legit but hes been in the game 7 years and was making alot of progress with diet.

Id say the antibiotics gave him some improvement (many PFS guys feel better on them) and he trusted it would cure him like the other guy and ended up placeboing himself to a full recovery !

Placebo effect is very real. Ever noticed how on these forums its always the OP that recoveries and everyone tries it with no results?

We always have one guy that has this insane thoery with cherry picked studies (spinach, progesterone, methylation) and the guy recovers and nobody else does.

Its placebo and its powerful enough to reverse PFS. Body remembers what its like for androgens to work correctly.

Sadly only a certain percentage of the population are susepectable to the placebo effect.

The worst thing is i have not found one single recovery on these forums from someone that took TRT and it failed to work. Ive had perfect bloodwork for years. Testosterone, DHT, estradiol, prolactin all perfect with zero libido and subclincal hypothyroidism from the hormone imbalance.

So for all we know the people that recovered just had low testosterone and they slowly improved it. Unless someone can find me a natural recovery from soneone with androgen resistance?

The only recoveries ive seen from androgen resistance was lightattheend (he tried TRT didnt work then progesterone shocked his system back) and APR (he took triptorellin had 1000ng/dl test and ZERO LIBIDO, took tribulus in high doses and recovered)

Unless someone can find me a story? it seems like the only way to recver is shock your body with a herb or something else. otherwise this shit is for life it seems.

Thing is, we have no way of actually knowing if they recovered naturally over time or it was due to what they took. It’s hard to believe all these stories when it’s only one or two people who say a certain method worked and others had no success replicating it.

I have low T and tried clomiphene, aromatase inhibitors, proviron, hmg, gonadorelin, and triptorelin. All genuine pharma grade. I never experienced a change in symptoms even when my hormones looked perfect and everything returned to baseline every time after quitting drugs.

#13

i am the same. I can have perfect blood work doesn’t help.

i also beleive alot of people here are not like this. if they fixed blood work they would be cured.

So i domt know. i bet half the people in PFS study would respond tp trt.

this is why its a syndrome not a disease. … no 1 root cause

#14

Can you Please give us some more information about the antibiotics (dosage , how many Times a day are you taking them ) and what is your diet? Did you got them from a doctor?

#15

metronidazole (500mg 3x a day for 10 days) and paromomycin (1,000mg 3x a day for 5 days), started both at the same time. Bought them from a pharmacy. I have many doctor and pharmacist relatives, so getting drugs isn’t a problem. I don’t follow a particular diet, but generally eat healthy. I exercise regularly… I wouldn’t recommend trying it, killing billions of benevolent bacteria is probably the only thing those antibiotics did.

#16

without a very restrictive diet like the one brongfogboy followed, taking those antibiotics is pointless, like at the same time one is killing the pathogens/bad bacteria/whatever with the antibiotics and also feeding them-a standstill. so i dont think it can be called a replication of the protocol, if we just take the antibiotics. brongfogboy has been following a very restricted diet for a long time, and by his words it is a crucial step, which i completely believe since many others like chi, ihp etc have had the same or similar diet when recovering

#17

As far as I know, Brongfogboy used nystatin, which is an antifungal. Antifungals such as nystatin and amphotericin-B raise prostaglandin synthesis. Prostaglandins are responsible for regulating hormones, erection of the penis (injections that cause an erection are synthetic prostaglandin E2), controlling cell growth, regulating inflammation, etc etc. Prostaglandin D2 inhibits Hair Growth and is elevated in bald scalp of men with androgenetic alopecia, which means they are a direct cause of hair loss too.

We can theorize that finasteride inhibits or somehow messes up prostaglandin synthesis, causing all our problems. If that is actually the case, then antifungals did indeed cure brongfogboy, but not for the reasons you believe, i.e. killing pathogens.

#18

Maybe the diet could be important in this . Can you give us the brand names and manufacturers of the antibiotics. 2 Guys recovered by these antibiotics so all information could be of importance in replicating the protocol.

#19

Metronidazole (Flagyl) and paromomycin (Humatin).

#20

Brongfogboy wrote: “I did the exact dosing as above nd didn’t start the paromomycin until the 7th day. So metroni (flagyl) 500 mg 3x a day for 10 days and on the 7th day I started paromomycin for five days straight and ate NO SUGAR .”

I’ve read that the timing of these abxs is pretty important; starting the Paromomycin 7 days later after Metroni seems like something that shouldn’t be ignored?
