Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 It is best if you go see an andrologist if you can find one, if not the next option is urologist or then an endocrinologist. but try to find a good andrologist 1st, if not then a good urologist. it will take sometime to find a decent one, most doctors are so poorly educated on this. i have been put down by about 5 doctors now, and now i am seeing 2 top doctors who know my case, well i hope. good luck and read the link i gave you, knowledge is power = success --- Myron Casey <myroncasey@...> wrote: > My doc said hey had never treated a man with such a > low T level.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I went to a urologist once and he dismissed me saying he wasn't qualified to treat hypogonadism. He told me he was the wrong kind of specalist.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Everyone's body has an enzyme known as Aromatase. Aromatase can convert Testosterone into Estrogen which later breaks down into Estradiol or E2. The body's cell receptor sites has a difficult time telling the difference between T & E2. This E2 competes for those cell receptor sites and can cause a lot of discomfort. I'm pretty sure bad Estrogens can lead to other disease too. Arimidex is an Aromatase inhibitor or blocker. You can use a 50mg of Zinc daily with a 2 mg Copper to do the same thing naturally although Arimidex is much stronger than the vitamins. Indoplex with DIM is an Estrogen metabolizer, another natural product. All of this to fight E2 or the bad Estrogen. Myron Casey <myroncasey@...> wrote: What is E or E2? Thanks!
