Guys, given all the stuff that makes us sick and the all the stuff that makes us better sounds like a liver problem, more specifically with P450 enzyme.
Here’s the evidence
-Finasteride is broken down by the P450 enzyme in the liver, the toxins from the drug can build up over time in the liver and fatty tissue
-Many people who have done fasting; coincidentally fasting cleans the gut (resets the immune system) and facilitates detox of the liver to discharge toxins into the gut.
-"The liver and prostate are sites of significant T metabolism. 5aR1 is abundantly expressed in the liver while 5aR2 is found at considerably lower levels. Also, 5aR1 is not abundant in the prostate, where 5aR2 is."http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3435410/
-Although Propecia works mainly on 5aR2, it also inhibits 5aR1 in the liver
-The liver metabolizes Testosterone and is not regulated much by androgens
Here’s the coincidences
Things that help with PFS:
-Turmeric
-Sorghum
-Vitamin D
-Vitamin B complex
-Glutathione
-Calcium d-glucarate
-L-glutamine
-L-caritine
-Taurine
-Resveratrol (CDNUTs used this)
Things that detox the liver:
-Turmeric (phase 2)
-Vitamin C (reduces oxidative stress from liver detox)
-Vitamin D
-Vitamin B complex
-Glutathione (phase 2)
-Calcium d-glucarate
-L-glutamine
-L-caritine
-Taurine
-Resveratrol
-Milk Thistle (this is estrogenic so avoid)
Things known to harm PFS:
-Alcohol
-Caffeine
-Food additives
-Sugars
-Some oral pharmaceuticals
-Exhaust fumes (douglasamich suffers from this)
-Grapefruit (I’ve completely crashed after eating one grapefruit and had massive diarrhea)
-Artificially high Testosterone
-High estrogen
-High cortisol
Things the liver P450 enzyme must break-down:
-Alcohol
-Caffeine
-Food additives
-Sugars (particularly fructose)
-Some oral pharmaceuticals
-Grapefruit
-Exhaust fumes
-Paint fumes
-Pesticides
-Testosterone (Say, don’t we suffer from high estrogen and crash when trying to increase testosterone?)
-Estradiol
-Cortisone
Hmmm… is this all coincidence?
Look guys, I’m not trying to over simplify things by saying “aha it’s the liver” but I have an idea… how about we detox our livers first and then take tons of Shorgum to reactivate 5aR.
