Finger length ratio.
New study below [1]. The study of finger length ratios may seem as wacky as palmistry & phrenology, and certainly not something that should have survived into the 21st century, but .... The ratio between the lengths of the index finger (2D) & ring finger (4D) is affected by the ratio of testosterone

Lupron + estradiol patch
Just now applied first .1 patch. How often do you check the estrogen level? Do you keep it below 20 or between 20 and 30 as LEF recommends? Our oncologist doesn’t check the T level. Is that important?

Holy Gator Blood
4 months ago I had a shot of Lupron ( 4 month) with a PSA of .29. Just got the LEF blood test reading.....Testosterone 107...Estradiol 58 pg/ml = High and Estradiol Sensitive <2.5 = Low...PSA <0.1....I also take Avodart and Arimidex .5 mg x3 per week...looks like I better drop the Arimidex to .5mg x1

62 years old and have been on estradiol for 5 years. Started with .05 patch and 100 mg. Progesterone. Now I am only using .025 estrogen patch. Is there any health benefits from taking progesterone or dangers of containing estrogen therapy. I know about the NIH study, but so many women still use HRR

Estradiol for the mitigation of adverse effects of ADT.
New Australian paper below. It's not clear to me why this paper wasn't written ten years ago. "Recently it has become apparent that many of the biological actions attributed to androgens in men are in fact not direct, but mediated by estradiol. Available evidence supports a primary role for estradiol

Periprostatic adipose inflammation & PCa.
New study below. It is probably well-known now that obesity is associated with poorer PCa outcome. However, it appears that visceral fat is the culprit. One can be on a 10% fat Dean Ornish type diet & be impressively lean, but high-carb diets are associated with elevated triglycerides & invisible (

Test results and what to ask next
Hi. I finally got ahold of my test results from 4 weeks ago.

When I started asking what could she do for my symptoms now and listed a few of them

Occult cancer in patients with deep-vein thrombosis [DVT].
New study below [1]. It's a reminder that dysfunctional coagulation is an early event in cancer & after a DVT , a man should be screened for cancer - particularly PCa. But for men with PCa who have not suffered a DVT, it is a warning that coagulation factors are nonetheless altered. In PCa, micro-clots

Bloods Advice & GP advice
Hi all, This is a slight deviation from thyroid advice, but when my TSH came back at 3.1 (range up to 4.2), I started to look into what might be causing the thyroid to be suppressed and it was suggested on here that sex hormones might be playing a part in this. This made sense to me as I have recently

Hello, I finally bit the bullet and paid the £££ to get some tests done using Medichecks and Blue Horizon. They are all blood tests apart from the salivary cortisol.

oral vs dermal progesterone?
After receiving my latest lab results, I have a question about the efficacy of oral vs dermal progesterone (all the so called Hertoghe doctors prescribe Estrogel only, as that is said to spare the liver, but some, like my doctor, will put you on progesterone pills Utrogestan). These were my lab results
