Simply because we don’t know for certain what finesteride had done to our bodies! Finesteride seems to affect us differently and thus different protocols may be needed and this might explain why there’re so many protocols out there but none of them is universal.
Getting all necessary tests is critical to one’s journey toward recovery and would help to avoid shooting in the dark. Treatments that are solely based on anecdotal symptoms can be a hit or miss. Infact, it could make things much worse.
Differents tests have helped me navigate through this nightmare and to treat different abnormalities each at a time. An example was me thinking my symptoms were due to high estrogen & low Testosterone so I took anti-estrogens and ended up feeling 1000X worse. Bloodwork have unveiled that my estrogen was already too low to begin with and there’s no point in lowering it further.
I’ve also done H2/CH4 breathing tests and it was found that I had SIBO (google it) and that caused a slew of gastrointestinal issues. You get the idea, don’t you?
