As my post said he put me on that 2 years ago. Yes he retired in August and my last visit with him was this past June.

Thanks for your reply. Dr. Shippen put me on a protocol 2 years ago that looks very much like what this forum is about. He put me on: 30mg. T. Cyp. E3D HCG 100mg. Daily 1-Click T. Cream on Scrotum daily. (100mg/ml) each click = .25mg. for the DHT benefit. 25mg. DHEA We always try to keep E2...

I understand, but all of his posts mentioned it. I just wanted to get His opinion.

"You State: Give DHT equal importance to E2. (At least Consider that the DHT:E2 ratio, at adequate levels, is what counts)." Will you explain and give example of what is considered a Good DHT:E2 ratio. thanks

Gene Why do you use Doxazosin in your stack? thanks

So would it be better for me to have a higher E2 and higher Free E2 as related to health and libido?

Will someone please explain in detail what knowing your Free E2 can do for you and how it relates to SHBG and E2 Sensitive. Example here are my recent labs. please comment. Free Serum Estradiol, Serum, MS 16 pg/mL 01 Reference Range: Adult Males: 8.0 - 35 Percent 2.2 % 01 Reference Range: Adult...

I have been taking Metformin 750mg. E.R. in the am. Is there no benefit at that dosage? I take for Anti-Aging only.

I take DHEA daily 25mg.

In the article linked above, it states: Similarly, the laboratory findings for patients treated with testosterone replacement may show a false low or normal PSA levels in the presence of excess biotin supplementation. Anyway I will wait 7-10 days after stopping and retest.

My B-Complex does have 400mcg. Biotin in it which I take 4 times a week. How long do you need to be off biotin before labs?

No Orgasm within 48 hrs. Not Fasting Do not bicycle, only Treadmill. Finger test every 6 months. Should I have been fasting? I read this: Dairy products seem to trigger higher levels of an insulin-like growth factor, which has been connected to high PSA levels and poor prostate health.

I have been taking L-Ornithine/L-Arginine at night to raise my IGF-1, well I succeeded but the problem is my PSA also raised a half point. Before taking my IGF-1 was 131 now 220 Before taking my PSA was 2.1 now 2.7 Has anyone else noticed this, I keep daily log of what I take and lab results.

Thanks for the Link. I always thought it might.

Does being Dehydrated when you get you PSA tested affect the Results?

SHGB was 26 before going on T/3 SHGB was 26 before going on T/3 and at that level I had great Libido. I feel good but I need the T/3 because I get cold at night without it. At SHGB of 26 and other #'s where they are now I would spontaneous get that tight Horny feeling in groin and feel...

I believe ALL are age adjusted, but I am 68 and who wants to be like the average person at that age. That is why I go by what Life Extensions says are optimal levels not average.
