Simple- propecia is an androgen inhibitor so what it did was screw up your androgen hormone

simple propecia screwed up your androgen hormone and thats why everyones getting these sides…

Thanks for that very insightful theory. :wink:

no problem, know most times the simplest answer is the correct one

I didn’t realize Merck admits it crosses the blood-brain barrier.

If it inhibits an enzyme we need to increase the enzyme. Can’t wait til we figure out how…

After stopping fin, you don’t inhibit it anymore… It should be working like it used to.

“Should be” is the question… do we know for sure if it is, nobody knows 100% yet.

Is it possible that those of use who are affected don’t properly metabolize fin, such that we still have it in our bodies? This is probably a stupid question, but it feels like this stuff never stops working on us, like it’s still doing all the things that were supposed to stop when we stopped the drug.

I wonder this too. At the end of my fin ingestion I wasn’t metabolizing anything properly. I wonder how much of this shit got in my brain and is still there…

I was thinking about this again. It seems that ability to metabolize fin would explain some of our issues. Such as why some people get sides after as few as a couple pills and others can use the drug for years and then develop sides. Possibly the ones who get sides after as few as a couple pills can’t metabolize fin at all and it builds up in their systems, while those who use the drug for years and then develop sides slowly lose their ability to metabolize fin.

One site states (rxlist.com/proscar-drug.htm):

That brings up the question of how are the metabolites further metabolized since they represent 20% of the 5ARII activity.

The above site also states:

But earlier on in the article it states:

This begs the question of how can fin be excreted in urine, when it is insoluble in water? Is there a way to test our blood for the presence of this poison?

Holy S***!

250º C? So, suppose we are a minority who is unable to metabolize Finasteride, to break it down in the liver the way most men are (are they?). If so, this poison is forever in our body, no way out…

finasteride is not in your body anymore!
that is bullshit - finasteride, the pure crystalline substance might not be water soluble - this has nothing to do with what happens in your body.
it is a pure chemical characteristic of the substance.
it is made water soluble throughout the processing in your body. that is why you find its metabolites in your feces and urine!
how many things do you swallow per day which are per se not water soluble?

I swallow things that are digestable… They are not water soluble per se, but they are easily broken down by enzimes and bacteria. This is another reason i chose not to eat processed foods. Do you think it is easier for the body to “break down” an orange or finasteride which is completely strange to our systems? Finsucks, think out of the box… Truth is no one can GUARANTEE we don’t have traces of this drug in our system, because since we reacted differently than the majority, no one knows if our bodies did break down the drug the way it was supposed to do.
The human body is not capable of eliminating everything. And what it can’t eliminate, does accumulate in cells. I will give you one example. If someone ingests mercury. He might live 100 years but if someone tests his organs and some tissues after death, there will be traces of mercury in his body. The question is what substance is accumulating and how this will affect one’s health. Read this about contaminants in newborns:
