Site policy regarding member-generated theories. PLEASE READ!

General Discussion

Due to the large number of member-generated theories circulating as of late, and apparent confusion regarding what is permissible, it has become necessary to emphasize the importance of reading and understanding the community guidelines before posting theories:

Theories

We welcome theoretical discussion or speculation, and simply request that it is clear from your post that you are presenting your opinion and the basis for that opinion. Contributors should refrain from making declarative statements regarding the etiology of PFS without significant and specific evidence. Take care not to present your ideas and experiences as definitive medical advice or diagnosis. Instead, try to provide information of what has worked for you, or others on this site.

As examples, instead of using definitive statements about the condition that can appear as factual claims such as “PFS is this”, “This will work every time” or “Do this and it will cure you”, consider using language such as “I believe…”, “You could try…”, or “This has worked for me”

These two paragraphs shouldn’t need to be reiterated OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER.

If something about this isn’t clear, please refrain from posting theories, medical advice, or factual statements about health and biology.

If you have questions or need further explanation of this guideline, please say so.

Thank you.

So i see the one guy is gone. He had some good points, maybe presented the wrong way. I would also say theoretically it would be a hell of alot easier to Correct PFS if something was recognized to be true and treated promptly, as opposed to 20 years later and a possible progression of symptoms.
I also looked at that nettle root, seemed like a bonafide 5ar inhibitor, at least maybe comparable to something like saw palmetto that is recognized here.

I was thinking of compartmentalizing my thoughts to one thread instead of jumping all over the place.
I’ll call it “a theory for everything” Ill be able to move much faster and get down thoughts before I lose them. Sort of akin to what I was doing on acne.org. If anyone wants to tune in they can, if not thats fine too.
What do you think?

Hmm. Someone said estradiol displaces testosterone from the androgen receptor and induces an estrogenic effect via the androgen receptor, leading to some of the symptoms of this condition, without citing specific evidence of any of this. I personally wouldn’t call that a good point, but it wouldn’t have mattered what my opinion was, or even mattered if that person was flat-out wrong, if they hadn’t presented such theories as factual statements.

Yeah, if you want to start your own theory thread nobody will hassle you about it so long as you follow the site policy.

ha ok I didnt see that one. I was more so talking about some things he touched on earlier.
Like the colonoscopy prep (they use this in fecal transplants) to facilitate change.They sometimes even use triple antibiotic therapy for 5 days before a fecal transplant and then immediately replace this with the right bacteria to start to swing health in the right direction. Thats the thought anyways.

Yea I might start a thread where I just keep going (mostly talking to myself) it will be quicker for me. Like solving a math equation and showing your work. we have already spent so much time with this. More than half my life anyways. I also like the search function you guys got here.

Nowadays I like to stay right on the surface with some of these thoughts and theories, you dig too deep and you might never come back up for air.
Thanks.
