Make sure you get the " sensitive assay " as normal tests are not reliable in the low range men see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 The first thing I need to say is when a Dr. says your PSA should go up on AndroGel you need to run from the dam Dr. Every Dr. I have read about says testing PSA for Prostate cancer. It is not influenced by Testosterone. Back in the day Dr.'s felt going on TRT would cause cancer. They now know it's the lack of Testosterone and higher levels of Estradiol that can cause cancer. Go to Dr. Gorden's site and read and watch the videos. http://www.thehiddendisease.com/ I am not sure if you meant to say Estradiol in stead of Estrone if you tested Estrone this is useless on men you need to test Estradiol E2 Quest #4021 the range is 13 to 54 pg/ml you need to be at about 20 pg/ml. So get your E2 tested before taking anything to bring down your E2 levels. Yes if your high on E2 it can give you man boobs. Taking Arimidex or Indolplex/DIM will get this down if it's not breast tissue. http://www.myvitanet.com/indolplex-with-dim-60-tab-phytopharmica.html http://www.ritecare.com/prodsheets/PHY-15336.html http://www.dimfaq.com/index.htm The following link is full of links about DIM. http://qualitycounts.com/fpdim.html Dr. no has a private practice in Monterey, California. He is the best of the best. He does outpatient Psychiatry but believes that all problems are mostly due to low Hormones. I have been talking to him on the web for yrs he was researching low Testosterone in men for his new book. So we told him our story and he posted tons of info helping us for helping him. This is his web site and he just started a forum. http://definitivepsychiatry.com/services/services.html Go to his forum and join and read to see what I am talking about. http://www.definitivemind.com/forums/index.php Most of the men that see him fly out to see him he only needs to see you once to test and treat you by Email. If you don't get night time and morning wood going on Indolplex/DIM taking one tablet at dinner time in about 2 weeks you will get your wood back so strong it will wake you up. Keep taking the DIM but if your wood stops your going down to low on E2 so stop taking it. When your wood comes back that day go back on it but cut the tablet in half. Also take some TMG with this at bedtime TMG helps your liver wash out the E's that get converted from E2 and helps one sleep some of it turns into SamE. http://www.myvitanet.com/tmgtr75120ca.html Yes you will lose weight if you have high E2 levels and take Arimidex of Indolplex/DIM I tell men to take Indolplex/DIM when they can't get there Dr. to give them arimidex. If you get Arimidex start with .25mgs or 1/4 of a pill every 2 to 3 days gage by your wood. Some men only need .25mgs every 3 days. You need to keep a log on what your taking and how you feel. So you can learn how you feel going to high or falling to low on E2 you need to keep it at about 20 pg/ml of what gives you the best wood. I don't know your age but your workout program is a lot and if your not recovering in an hour or less when you stop your over doing it and you can cause your Adreanls to ware out. You need to test your Cortisol levels do a morning fasting test if your lower then 15 you have back over worked adreanls. So get a 4x's in a day Saliva Cortisol test done you can buy this your self. Read this link. http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/recommended-labwork/ ================================================= 1) LAB WORK packages designed specifically for readers of Stop the Thyroid Madness with good prices–STTM Thyroid and Adrenal Lab Packages You can choose just saliva for cortisol (which is six times in a 24 hour period), or use LabCorp facilities around the US for blood draws. 2) LAB WORK from ZRT LABORATORIES Saliva and a blood prick test…or one or the other. Adrenal Function Test for cortisol. The blood spot test kit uses a finger prick and several tests can be done from a single sample. They state it’s on par with serum needle blood draw tests, though you can do this right in your own home. THIS IS ALSO A PLUS SINCE SALIVA CAN FAIL TO DETECT THYROID ANTIBODIES. One downfall: it’s at least $100 more expensive than saliva. http://www.salivatest.com/ Co-Moderator Phil > From: kkmosco@... <kkmosco@...> > Subject: Help with TRT - need referals for endos in the bay area > > Date: Thursday, July 9, 2009, 10:24 AM > Phil and company, > > I started using androgel after tests that confirmed my > objective symptoms...my initial readings were > > total 398 > free 61.6 > bio 124.0 > > estrone on the high side of 71 > > I then started 5mg and got the following results > > total 494 > free 65.5 > bio 131.8 > > estrone 56 > > I have now increased my dosage to 10mg and will retest in a > month. > > The endo I am using seems competent but his speciality seem > to be diabetes...his is clearly not his speciality or area > of expertise > > I take three ZMA tablets at night...my exercise regimen is > cyling 15-25 hours a week and 4-6 hours in the weight room > > I asked the doctor if increased exercise could impact these > numbers and he said no > > I have some adipose tissue around my chest area and I am > not sure if it is gyno or just a result of aging, gravity, > and a need for more weight loss but I ordered some DIM to > start next week just to be safe...never got any soreness or > tenderness > > A few questions... > > Does anyone have an endo in the bay area - east bay > preferably - that they could recommend?
