I just need to give you a heads up about doing Zinc it will lower your Copper

levels so for every 50 mgs you do of Zinc you should add in at a different time

2 mgs of Copper.

Re: Getting doctors to work with Dr. Crisler et. al.

I don't think its arrogance (At least not in my Doctors case) I think you have

to consider that what he suggests is not the mainstream thinking. *At least not

to many doctors.

There was a time that I wanted my doctor to consult with him and she considered

it but after doing some R & D she declined. I think there is a fear that he

is/was? associated with sports / steroids etc? I'm not sure. Some of the

things he suggests she told me were too far from what she was trained to do.

One example was the use of Arimidex. She said that while doctors often do

prescribe drugs off label that this seemed like a poor idea. *Never tested for

use in men. *Only used by Terminal Female Patients. *Fear that long term use

might screw up the hormone control part of the brain. etc... Anyway, we talked

about what she thought was the mainstream approach to reducing conversion to E2

(Daily Zinc and weight loss) and I opted for that. *And it worked so I'm happy.
