Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 We are under attack. Mad Cow disease is just one symptom of the 'supply side anarchy' happening to us here. I was overseas w/ Interpol and the Secret Service behind the iron curtain back then. I see parrallels to us and them back then. Be wary of food and medicine. " workers, are in some cases, slaves from behind the iron curtain here in the US if similar trends can be compared, we are not out of it yet. swrtw <swrtw2001 wrote:Hi Everyone, A few years back a doctor prescribed finasteride for me, for hair loss, althought I told him I was scared of the side effects and didn't want it, he convinced me it was safe. Now after 5 years I still suffer from the side effects. I am currently 27 years old. The side effects include -loss of libido -inability to ejaculate and orgasm -lack of emotions -some errection difficulties (maybe related to stress and low libido) After visiting numerous doctors and not getting the answers I needed. I am currently seeing a TCM practioner. She's trying accupuncture, and prescribing me vitamins and also getting me meds which are suppose to stregthen my liver and kidney. Her diagnosis is that I have a weak left kidney and liver and the medicine might of affected it, but I had no problems with any of the above symptoms prior to taking finasteride. She recommended I take a shot of Chrysocor (suppose to help with erections), but I wanted to see if anyone has knowledge of this first, as Im still very scared of taking medications after what happened. She also wants me to take " Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan " Herbal Extract " Metal Lock Pill to Stablize the Essence " Ingredients are: Sha Yuan Zi (Semen Astragalgi Complanati) Qian Shi (Semen Euryales Feocis) Lian Zi (Duan) (Os Draconis Preparata) 10% Mu Li (Duan) Concha Ostreae Preparata) 10% Suggested Intake 4 capsules 3 times a day Im currently also taking Nu-Life Trace Minerals. Western Ideology: ------------------- In western medicine, my hormones are unbalanced due to use of finasteride, as it supposedly blocks the conversation of Testosterone to DHT, somehow this threw my entire system out of whack and today, I have low DHT, LH (signals the testes to produce testosterone), FSH (signals the testes to produce sperm), low Testosterone, low Free Testosterone and high Estrogen. From my understanding of western medicine testosterone converts to estrogen and estrogen provides one the feedback loop for the pituitary to send LH and FSH hormones to produce more testosterone. If anyone knows what herbs or treatment methods to fix this, please let me know. My hormones DHT: 37 Range 25-75 ng/dl (low for my age) Total T: 462 Range 260-1000 ng/dl (low for my age) Free T: 120.8 Range 50-210 pg/ml (low for my age) FSH: 2.3 Range 1.4-18.1 MIU/ML (low for my age) LH: 3.9 Range 1.5-9.3 MIU/ML (low for my age) Estradiol (the strongest Estrogen): 59 PG/ML Range 10-51 PG/ML (Estradiol levels are high) Thank you!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Well, if your medicine blocked the 5alphareductase pathway that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, and you want to un- block the same pathway, then you simply should eat those co-factors that stimmulate the 5alphareductase pathway which are: B5, B2, Se, NADPH and Zn. And if you by chanse is taking supplements containing Mg, I, Cr or Saw palmetto then you might stop eating it for a while because these guys inhibit the 5alphareductase pathway. A good source of B-vitamins is brewers yest, a good source of zinc is oysters and pumkin seeds. For selenium, buy plant based food grown in selenium rich soil. NADPH is a form of vit B3 hopefully ordinary B3 in brewers yest will do the trick also. For professional help, look up an AK-practitionair. acupuncture , " swrtw " <swrtw2001> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > A few years back a doctor prescribed finasteride for me, for hair > loss, althought I told him I was scared of the side effects and > didn't want it, he convinced me it was safe.
