A Reply to a poster on Finasteride from Dr. .

[Guest guest]

Kissy I hope you don't that this as an attack. But I would believe

A Dr. that treats men that used Propecia over the what the Drug Co.

says that sells it.

2. Several members have emailed me that you wrote somewhere else

there is an appropriate application of topical spironolactone where

it is basically applied to the entire body. If you now wish to deny

you ever made any such ridiculous recomendation, then please just

say so.

3. This concept demonstrates a profound lack of understanding of the

physiological processes involved; plus simply a total lack of

experience with the medication being recommended. It also sheds

light on what you consider a valid thought process. More on that

later.

Let's consider what the hormone DHT does for adult males. Better

yet, let's think about what happens when it is suppressed with

finasteride. In a significant number of men--and those who were not

even suffering elevated levels of same to start with---this very

often results in weakness, fatigue, fat gain, depression, lack of

libido, and frank impotence. Does that sound to anyone like what we

are trying to AVOID with PCT? When you add in the overall effects of

this very problematic list of negative side effects on our training,

and therefore muscle size, we come to the conclusion that you are

recommending a drug during PCT which CAUSES all the negative side

effects of NOT doing PCT.

A good analogy would be for you to recommend unprotected,

promiscious sex to prevent AIDS.

I have several dozen patients who now suffer PERMANENT ill side

effects after taking low-dose finasteride for even a short period of

time. Did it not ever occur to you to actually learn about the drugs

you want people to take?

I see how you have come up with the wacky ideas you write about: you

read somewhere that doing this or that elevates LH, so you, in an

effort to make a name for yourself by coming up with some new idea,

begin writing about using it somewhere in steroid use. Most often

the study you have read, and reference as " proof " of your concept,

either is not an appropriate use of reference, or simply has no

bearing on the topic at all. Simply, you do not understand how to

read a study. You made a comment in this very thread which offers

even more proof of that fact.

You never consider the overall action of the therapy you propose.

This is because you simply cannot, as you have never studied

physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology or endocrinology. Even

moreso, I see constant abandonment of simple common sense:

recommending a drug which causes the symptoms of hypogonadism while

trying to treat same. For these resons, you have shown that you

cannot even begin to fathom the overall results of what following

your advice will bring. This is all just plain lazy.
