Dr. Edward Friedman - The Man Who Claims PCa is Caused by Estradiol
I read his book and he states that the aromatization of testosterone into estradiol causes PCa. He bases some of his conclusions on Lebowitz Triple Androgen Blockade..if you combine the theories of Friedman...Leibowitz...BAT...a protocol to control PCa and prevent CRPC would be: 12 months of Lupron +

New here & newly diagnosed with hypothyroid
Hello everyone, I'm new to this site and am newly diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, even tho my TSH levels were only at a 5.10 (not sure if being a redhead makes me more sensitive to the symptoms, as I've heard it is possible) but my Dr. put me on 25mcg of Levothyroxine. I have also been prescribed 40mg

Hormone blood tests
I am thinking of getting a blood test for hormones but the ones I have found do not include progesterone, would this be an issue or does anyone know of a place offers this, preferably a finger-prick test. Medichecks only seem to test FSH, LS, Oestradiol and Prolactin. My breasts have become swollen

Is there a protective role of testosterone against high-grade prostate cancer?
New paper below. "This study investigated the role of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in prostate safety and cancer progression. A cohort of 553 patients, 42 treated and 162 untreated hypogonadal men, and 349 eugonadal men were included." "The incidence of positive prostate biopsies was lowest

Latest results. High cholesterol at 25 and possible PCOS? Help please :)
Hi I've had some results recently and was just hoping for some advice on a few things that are concerning me. After the first 2 test results my gp said once my b12, folate and vit d had been treated we could trial levo if still symptomatic. In all honesty I don't really feel much different. However

Hi does anyone mind having a quick look over my latest results please? Particularly anyone with knowledge of PCOS which they've flagged up as a possibility due to a raised hormone. However they've assumed I have a 28 day cycle which I never have. It's normally around 34 days I think but it's been really

How my RESTLESS LEGS were CURED!
Are you taking any form of estrogen? I ran out of my Estradiol 1mg. From Barr Labs & while waiting to see an M.D. for a new lower-dose Rx & I found, to my great surprise, that by 2-3 weeks OFF of this Privider's brand if Estradiol, that my restless legs disappeared.
