E2 skyrockets on BAT therapy

[Arthur479]

After about 3 months on BAT therapy and reading Friedman's book, I thought it might be a good idea to ask my onc to check my estradiol (E2) levels. He agreed.

While the PSA continues to drop (roughly 10 to 5), I nearly s*** a gold brick when he casually mentioned my E2 was 170 (normal is about 20-40). This is despite strong doses of DIM and broccoli sprout tablets. (So much for the "natural" approach.)

Anyway he in a calm oncologist voice said, "Your body is a really efficient converter of T to E2." Then he wrote a script for Armidex without hesitation.

Bottom line - Get your E2 levels checked when on BAT!

PS I do recommend "How Your and Your Doctor Can Fight Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer and Alzheimer's" by Dr. Edward Friedman. I suspect many in the SOC camp may not be a fan, but I do think there is merit there in his theory about the role of E2 and PCa.

Can you tell me what the impact is of the fact that your body is a good converter of T to estradiol?

[Arthur479 in reply to Hidden]

Makes me more vulnerable to a strong PCa rebound or as Friedman puts it "disastrous results" (I think (hope) he is being overly dramatic.) For a technical description, the book is the way to go.

What have your T levels been on this BAT protocol, such that E2 was 170?

[Arthur479 in reply to noahware]

That I don't know. I have requested on my next blood draw that T levels be assessed. Don't want that going nuts and getting a damn blood clot. Wouldn't it suck to have a stroke while knocking out prostate cancer?

[Arthur479]

I will have to read it again to find the references to Avodart and DHT conversion. Thanks!

It is like we are our own little beakers in a chem lab.

When T goes up so does E2. But when it goes down so does E2. So at the end of a cycle its back to near normal. But a couple of days after a T shot when T is max, E2 looks pretty scary.

I thought E2 was a good thing, and that by itself it can be used to treat prostate cancer?

Am I mixing it up with something else?

I want to order one of your free gold bricks......(24k)

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
