The allopregnanalone theory. This could be it.

Also and i know this a long shot at best one reason doxycycline helps me perhaps is that it increases allopregnanolone or other neurosteroids. There is no direct evidence for this yet but i note :

From wiki:

Several studies using minocycline and doxycycline, in an animal model of Alzheimer’s Disease, have indicated that minocycline[19][20] and doxycycline[21][22] exerts a protective effect in preventing neuron death and slowing the onset of the disease.

Allopregnanolone has been shown to aid the neurogenesis that reverses cognitive deficits in a mouse model of AD.[14]

Whilst it might not be through allopregnanolone it might be through a different mechanism involving neurosteroids. My sleep on doxycycline is better than without it.

Please for the love of god and all those suffering…if there are any scientists out there who are reading this…please please please look at the progesterone receptor issue!! Please look at the possibility that there is an imbalance or synthesis problem in the brain with progesterone to estrogen. Especially since studies have already determined that one dose of finasteride can immediately DEMOLISH the protective affects of progesterone. Furthermore, we are suffering from estrogen dominance / adrenal issues (pseudo cushings) I can’t hear stem cells, androgen deprivation, candida anymore. There are a million signs pointing to ALL symptoms being derived from a neurological root.

Isn’t this like ideal proof that allopregnanolone production in the brain becomes normal again after finasteride like they specially point out and this theory you have here is totally wrong? Scientists have already taken a look into this, so don’t worry!
Back to the penis and prostate theories!

Fanjeera you might want to wait the neurosteroids study to be published to reconsider the overall condition.

Does anybody know if that study will be published soon?

They’re making a study right now?

I hope they are writing it and about to publish the results, if they didn’t propose it for publishing already. But I don’t know honestly. It is possible they wanted to discuss the findings in february before submitting the finished article. Apparently there are significant results on neurosteroids.

Check out a new study I just posted under “other studies” section. This study just came out end of December
