Guest guest Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Dr. Ullis, In my particular case, my E2 was always very low (as low as 4)at a TT level of 511. I needed to get my TT above 800 to move the E2 higher. I am now at 917 T and 21 E2. I still have very bad ED problems. I have problems with high Rt3, low Vitamin D levels and most likely adrenal issues. If these levels are optimized, will this help with the ED issue? I was taking 16000iu of vitamin D. I increased it to 22000iu. We tried low dose cytomel for the Rt3, but my system could not take this. I had to stop. I could provide current symptoms if you are gracious enough to respond. Thanks very much. > > > > > > > I've notice comparing labs 4 months apart that Esterdiol has gone from 20 > > to 42, Thyroid T3 has fallen as well as Testosterone levels.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Really, that's interesting! It was suggested by some on here that it does lower estrogen. I have been taking it for about a week and a half, and haven't noticed too much yet, although after taking Viagra last night, there was somewhat more of an effect. I started experiencing low libido and ED about a year ago, after quitting Zoloft which I was on for 7 years. I must point out that I don't have complete dysfunction, just weak erections, and sometimes it takes a while to get up. Thanks goodness for Viagra. But I noticed after a while that it stopped working, but then started working again after a period of time. It was a mystery to me. At first I thought that maybe I built up a tolerance, but then when it started working again, that smashed that theory! Had my T tested 3 weeks ago, it was 382. I am 55, and my doctor said that this was ok. Then I found this forum, and started reading about the testosterone/estrogen relationship. I saw your youtube video. I am convinced that my E is on the high side due to my erratic ED symptoms. I am going to give Chrysin a try. I called three endo doctors yesterday, and all said that I need to be referred by my general practitioner. I have a feeling my doctor doesn't know too much about this topic, because he never mentioned testing my E. I am 5'11 " and 210, and have slowly been losing weight, as I have really got serious about exercising as of late. Maybe after taking the chrysin, and losing weight, I will not have to take Viagra again. Thank goodness for the generic Viagra from Canada. > > > > > > > I've notice comparing labs 4 months apart that Esterdiol has gone from 20 > > to 42, Thyroid T3 has fallen as well as Testosterone levels.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Not to go against the good Dr. Indolplex/DIM does lower E2 levels the way it dose this is it converts it into other E's so your liver can wash it out. I went to low on my E2 levels taking Indolplex/DIM and have talked to many other men that went to low on it. I like using it it comes in a tablet that can be cut in half. I tried chrysin it did nothing for men I hare it can get killed in your stomach. Today I feel if one has a problem keep E2 levels in check to use Arimidex. Here is some info I have in my files about taking it. ==================================================== How To Take Arimdex and not go down on your Estradiol to Low. What I found is if you go to low taking arimidex, it's the length of time your to low, if your too low say for 8 weeks it can take your body a longer time to make more Estradiol. Bottom line is to know how not to go to low. Keep a log on your dose and how you feel men going to low can't get it up taking Viagra. I went to low when I first tried Arimidex and did not know about going to low or how one feels to low, so I was low a good 8 weeks. I did not know I was low until my next labs. The best gage I have found to control your Estradiol levels is to gage your night time and morning wood. At good levels or what I call the sweet spot you get your night time and morning wood back so strong it will wake you up and you can hang a coat on it. Most men do good taking .25 mgs or 1/4 of a 1mg. pill, I use a pill cutter to cut the small pill in half then I stand it on the cut end and use a single edge razor to cut this in half. A good way to take arimidex is by how high your levels are. I tested over 90 pg/ml so we tried doing .5 mgs every other day after 8 weeks my next set of labs showed it did not move below 90, test said >90. So we did .5 mgs. every day in about 2 weeks I got some strong night time and morning wood back after not having them for many yrs. I kept doing this dose and in 8 weeks my next set of labs said <20 back in the day labs were like this they did not have to good labs we have today they could not read lower the 20. My Dr. told me this looks to low to stop taking the Arimidex. The one thing I noticed was my wood stopped and stopping the Arimidex my wood came back in about 7 weeks my next test at 8 weeks was 24 pg/ml. So we went back on the Arimidex but the Dr. told me to take .5 mgs every 3 days I was on this dose not a week and lost wood. This is when I figured out going to low you lose wood. And the longer your too low the longer it takes to get levels back up. I stopped the arimidex right away and got my wood back in 4 days. I then after playing with the dose for a time found the best dose is .25mgs every 2 to 3 days. So lets say your labs are less the 50 pg/ml if your take .5 mgs you can go down so dam fast your miss the sweet spot of your wood and go to low. It's best with lower levels 50 and under to do less Arimidex .25mgs every 2 days if later your lose wood when it comes back go to every 3 days. I have found estradiol is the hardest hormone to control, it goes up or down from month to month some times I need .25mgs every 2 days other times I need ..25mgs everyday most of the time I do well on every 3 days. So between wood and labs I do great and so do most of the men I have told this to. I keep a log on how much I am taking and how I feel. Doing this and reading back in my log I was able to tell when I was going to high or to low my Dr. lets me dose my arimidex by how I feel. Over the yrs. I have posted this story until I am blue in the face. ==================================================== Most compounding pharmacies will require a prescription from a doctor, before they do this. Once your prescription says " 300 caps x 0.1mg " or " 600 caps x 0.05mg " anastrozole " from 1 to 4 daily " , (anastrozole = generic arimidex) then they will compound your arimidex, or generic anastrozole, and they will usually supply the arimidex as compounded into the caps you require. My compounding pharmacist was prepared to allow me to supply the arimidex too. If you have several boxes of arimidex in your cupboard, then you may want to ask your pharmacist to do this for you. If you don't have any arimidex stores, then just let the compounding pharmacy supply the whole lot. ### A pack of 30 tabs of 1.0mg arimidex will give 300 caps at 0.1mg-per-cap, or 600 caps at 0.05mg-per-cap. So if your pharmacy chooses to supply arimidex as opposed to generic anastrozole, then your pharmacy will most likely not agree to only charge you for a half-a-box of arimidex, and most likely they'll charge for a whole box, even if your prescription says 300 caps at 0.05mg-per-cap (total of 15mg). ==================================================== E2 Sweet Spot by Chilln at Dr. ’s forum. continued from post #8 in this thread, ie: http://musclechatroom.com/forum/show...14 & postcount=8 PLAN A: The healthiest method of optimizing E2 levels is to simply minimize your T boost, to the point which is " just above " your minimum acceptable level of damage tolerance. ### * If you exercise very hard, you're going to need a lot more T than if you exercise very little. * Reducing your T boosters will reduce both your maximum T levels, and your minimum T levels. This works if you metabolize T relatively slowly, in which case your minimum T levels will not be too low. * But if you metabolize T very quickly, then you may find that this method lets your minimum T levels drop too low. * As you and your medical professional adviser gradually lower your maximum T levels, your E2 levels will also reduce, and hopefully you will find a balance between T and E2 which suits your sexual performance goals. * If you discover that by using this method, you can occasionally experience optimum sexual performance, then your ability to maintain that for extended periods is dependant on how stable your E2 levels are, and the stability of your E2 levels depends on minimizing your maximum T levels, and ensuring your minimum T levels are still adequate (no sore joints, no sore back, no stiff neck, don't catch flu quickly). * Keep gradually reducing your maximum T levels, looking for your E2 sweet spot, until eventually your minimum T levels are too low during the day / week (ie: sore joints, or sore back, or you catch a flu quickly). ### If you haven't experienced a sweet spot for your E2 usign this method, then you need to consider PLAN B. PLAN B: Always attempt PLAN B if PLAN A fails to deliver the goods. Don't skip PLAN B. For those who supplement using transdermal T, reduce your maximum daily T levels by taking less-than-half-of-your-existing-daily-dosage-of-T, twice per day. For those who supplement using injected T ester (eg: T cypionate), reduce your maximum weekly T levels by either: a) taking less-than-half-of-your-existing-weekly-dosage-of-T, twice-per-week, or taking less-than-3/7-of-your-existing-weekly-dosage-of-T, once-every-3-days. ### * This will definitely reduce your peak T levels, while still ensuring that your minimum T levels do not drop. * The additional reduction in max T levels, without reducing your minimum T levels, will further allow your E2 levels to reduce, and hopefully that's enough to find your E2 sweet spot. * The equivalent mechanism for those who supplement using injected T esters (eg: testosterone cypionate) is to take less-than-half-of-your-existing-weekly-dosage-of-T, twice per week, or less-than-3/7-of-your-existing-weekly-dosage-of-T, every 3 days. * As you and your medical professional adviser gradually lower your maximum T levels, your E2 levels will also reduce, and hopefully you will find a balance between T and E2 which suits your sexual performance goals. * If you discover that by using this method, you can occasionally experience optimum sexual performance, then your ability to maintain that for extended periods is dependant on how stable your E2 levels are, and the stability of your E2 levels depends on your maximum T levels (not your minimum T levels). ### But you may discover that you still cannot find a sweet spot for both T and E2 using just this method. In which case consider PLAN C. PLAN C: ( OPTIONAL) This option is only available if you initially started out on a transdermal formulation of T. Switch from using a transdermal formulation of T to using an injected form of T ester - eg: " T cyp " (testosterone cypionate). Initially try once-per-week dosing, but switch to twice-per-week, or once-every-3-days dosing if you need to lower E2 levels even further. ### * Our body makes E2 out of T, using the " aromatase " enzyme, and we have high concentrations of aromatase enzymes in our subcutaneous body fat. * The transdermal forumations of T convert into more E2 and DHT than the injected T esters, because the transdermal formulations place the T in close proximity to the large concentration of aromatase enzymes in our body fat, while the injected T esters are designed for intra-muscular injection (not subcutanoues) and therefore the T is placed a long long way from those aromate enzymes in our body fat. * After switching from transdermal T to injected T esters, your E2 levels should also reduce, and hopefully you will find a balance between T and E2 which suits your sexual performance goals, but the stability of your E2 levels still depends on your maximum T levels (not your minimum T levels). * Initially try once-per-week dosing as discussed in PLAN B for T cyp users. * If using once-per-week dosing continues to result in too high maximum levels of T, while you are trying to ensure that your minimum T throughout the week is still above your minimum requirements for T, then you will need to add back the PLAN B multiple-times-per-week dosing - even for T cyp. ### But you may discover that you still cannot find a sweet spot for both T and E2 using just this method. In which case consider PLAN D. PLAN D: This alternative is to adjust both your T and HCG dosages, and use arimidex / anastrozole to optimize E2. But you should still be implementing the multiple-times-per-day dosing methodology from PLAN B and the final stage of PLAN C ### * This is not a trivial concept. You will be messing with T and E2 levels for months. * The most important concept with arimidex / anastrozole supplementtion is very reliable and accurate dosing. I very strongly recommend that you and your medical professional adviser adopt a more frequent dosing of arimidex / anastrozole than once-every-two-days, ie: by adopting daily dosing of arimidex / anastrozole, using small-but-reliable doses of compounded arimidex / anastrozole. ....This is detailed here: ....http://musclechatroom.com/forum/show...6 & postcount=31 * You may find that you need 0.1mg per day, or 0.15mg per day, or 0.2mg per day, instead of 0.5mg every second day. * After adjusting arimidex dosages and T dosages, you will definitely discover occasional optimum T versus E2 balance, and with that you will achieve occasional optimum sexual performance. Whether you can maintain that optimum sexual performance for the majority of each week is dependant on how stable your E2 levels are, and the stability of your E2 levels depends on your maximum T levels. ### But you may discover that you still cannot find a sweet spot for both T and E2 using just this method. In which case consider PLAN E. PLAN E: Boost T even less than before, and boost GH to provide the additional damage tolerance lost from the reduction in T levels. But continue to maintain using the multiple-times-per-day dosing methodology used in the final stages of the previous plans. But back off the arimidex / anastrozole completely. ### * Both T and GH trigger many of the same repairs (not 100% overlap) so you can safely reduce T, if you boost GH. * By further reducing your peak T levels, you further reduce the rate of conversion of T into E2. This assumes you reduce your supplemental T dosage when you add in the boost to GH. * By further reducing your peak T levels, your T and E2 levels will be more stable, and you'll find it easier to find your sweet spot for E2. But you may discover that you still cannot find a sweet spot for both T and E2 using just this method. In which case consider PLAN F. PLAN F This is simply the combination of PLAN E (GH boost, multiple times-per-day/week dosing) plus compounded arimidex / anastrozole. ### * This should only be necessary if: ....a) you haven't been able to afford sufficient recombinant GH to allow you to reduce your T levels by an adequate amount. or .... your can only afford GHRP-6, not recombinant GH, and your body's response to the GHRP-6 is inadequate amounts of GH. .. ________________________________________ Last edited by chilln; 16 Hours Ago at 07:12 PM.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I do not have lab levels to report.But before I was taking Indoplex DIM and TMG I would have difficuly maintaing an erection even with levitra.I have been on TRt for around 9 mths taking biweekly injections.Now I can maintain a strong erection without levitra, and have numerous spontaneous erections all thru the day.So I can only assume my estradiol levels are optimal.My body fat stays very low and my test dosage is constant.So for this I must disagree with your assessment.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I apologize if my comment was misread to be directed at Dr. Ulis. I was simply making a general statement (well, more of a vent than a statement, but you get the idea). I have never been seen by Dr. Ulis, so I'm not in a position to form any opinion on his practice.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Your response clearly reveals your limited knowledge on this subject. Good old depo testosterone????  Really, which one???  Cypionate, enthanate or sustanon 250??? I've been prescribed each of them and I can tell you that they all have their benefits. Each has different properties and characteristics and affect people in a different way. Personally, I am glad that the " standard " TRT has worked for you but that application is not effective for everyone as evidenced on this forum.  The information I posted about the Dr. is publically available and was apparently supplied by Dr. Ullis himself. So if there is a problem with it's validity, I am not to blame. In fact if the information is correct, I personally, as I am sure many others would, have a problem with his honesty, neutrality, and lack of disclosure. Simply put, he cannot provide an honest, neutral medical opinion or diagnosis and at the same time participate as an " advisor " with the companies he claims to be associated with. It is a clear conflict of interest. No more, no less. He also fails to disclose that he is not just the Director of the clinic listed in his 'sig' file but is in fact the owner. That non disclosure is intentional, and constitutes a gross misrepresentation to the prospective clientele. Again, I am glad that your TRT worked well for you but due to Dr Ullis's undisclosed " for profit " interests, I will view his words and recommendations with caution.

Personally, I'll take the word of a seasoned lab rat any day over that of a book educated expert. And by the way Dr., maybe you would be kind enough to tell us which one of these organizations you are speaking for today???? Karlis Ullis , M.D.’s Honors: On advisory board for Pfizer on Erectile Dysfunction , Solvay Corp - AndroGel(Tetosterone ) Advisory Board and Auxillium Corp for Tetsim (their Testosterone Product) In my experience, as a patient of Dr. Ullis, you are bashing an honest person. To give an example, my TRT Rx from Dr. Ullis is NOT for AndroGel or for Testim, but for good old fashioned depo-testosterone. He has never attempted to push any particular product on me. If you disagree re:DIM (I don't know exactly what it does), fine, but argue about the subject as opposed to assuming, incorrectly, that there is some nefarious ulterior motive involved...
