Couple of reasons., firstly there is that accurate study that showed that taking SAMe alongside isotretinoin seemed to mitigate the side effects, and may help with the side effects once you've got them. Also Helen found a number of PFS bloods that showed people who had SAM levels tested were all...

It's not though is it, it's their job to analyse what is wrong with the patient, and then take the best action to make them well again. That doesn't have to involve prescribing drugs. I think drugs are prescribed way too often, and many of them have serious side effects (as everyone on this...

It's unbelievable how easily doctors will just hand out drugs which clear mess with neurotransmitters. When I went through a brief phase when I was having super bad anxiety, verging on panic feeling, I found watching stuff that you really have to focus on helped a lot at calming me down. Sounds...

I'm thinking what might be best on here is to get some sort of 'master spreadsheet' put together with all the key test results in for each person, like DHT, test, E, maybe even a few key things from the hair analysis like high/low copper, maybe include some key genetic traits even, and then look...

Still can't make my mind up with this nutritional balancing stuff. I think the actual analysis is good, and provides some useful information, but as for the supplement regimes, I'm not totally convinced to be honest. For example, you could have something wrong that means your body is wasting...

My DHT is really high and I have none of the things detailed above. Maybe in a healthy 'normal' person it would stand true, but with someone who has PAS/PFS/PSSD it's a different ball game

Just heard back from the guy whose recovery is quoted on the first page of this thread. Unfortunately he crashed, and is now back into PAS state (although sounds like not as bad as he was). He thinks it could be down to drinking alcohol Obviously sad to hear the recovery didn't last, but also...

Looking back, it seems like you improved a lot from taking reservation? Do you think that's what helped you the most? Maybe due to anti-inflammatory effects?

No harm in getting doctors recommendations, I'm not aware of it being a procedure that carries much risk. Funnily enough I've had similar pains in the right hand side for at least as long. Got tested for crohns and UC last year but both came back negative, but it's not getting any better so I'm...

I'm still taking SAMe in a low dose (suggested co-factors are active B6, B12 and methyfolate - I'm taking an active B-complex which has all these and choline too). I've read it takes a month or two for SAMe levels to build up if you're low, so presumably it's stored in the body somewhere? Do...

What regime are you currently following? Are you doing ARL/TEI or CDnuts or anything?

Bit an update, I’ve been taking TUDCA which always helps when I get liver/bile issues really bad, and these things have got a lot worse over the last couple of years. I’m pretty sure these drugs (tane, fin etc) cause ‘drug induced cholestasis’ Drug-Induced Cholestatic Liver Disease - Madame...

I think TEI can be hard on the liver, and obviously the liver is compromised in this condition anyway. I had to stop my TEI cycle for this reason. I got tested a couple of days after stopping and my liver enzymes were fine, but ferritin was really high and this can be an indicator of liver...

Anyone else have any experience with Berberine? I know it's supposed to have mild anti-androgen effects, but there seem to be a lot of potential benefits. Gut health and fatty liver seem to be conditions that probably affect most people with PAS/PFS etc, and Berberine seems quite powerful at...

Could've been Roundworm or Tapeworm from looking at the pics on this link? 4 Ways Pumpkin Seeds Cleanse Your Body Pumpkin seeds are supposed to be very effective at killing parasites. They're also an absolute powerhouse of nutrients. Magnesium, zinc, vitamins, ALA. I'm never sure whether to...

I get better clarity from eating cashews. I assumed it was something to do with the fat content stimulating the bile, but that could be down to copper as I notice they are very high in copper? Cashews Looking at what foods contain serine, it doesn't look like I get any. I'm also taking...

Currently been taking SAMe (along with co-factors B6, B12 and methylfolate in the form of an active b-complex). I'm just building up the dosage, but even at small doses I've noticed I'm starting to sweat a bit again (usually takes TUDCA or UDCA to get me sweating again), and I've noticed...

- FSH = 2.1 iu/L (1.0 - 9.0) - LH = 2.6 iu/L (1.0 - 9.0) - Prolactin = 147mu/L ( < 550) - Testosterone = 13.1 nmol/L (8.0 - 30.0) - SHBG = 36 nmol/L (13.0 - 71.0) - Cortisol = 563 nmol/L (150-600) - DHT = 4.1 nmol/L (0.9 - 2.90) - ferrin = 499 (? - 300) (above from a few years ago - only set I...

So making taking along with magnesium and b6? I'm a bit confused by the SAH-SAM cycle, this seems to suggest that enough SAMe would actually result in the homocysteine being converted (ie reduced) if there is enough SAMe? The Liver Super-Nutrient | Life Extension

Thanks @Helen Decided I'm actually going to start on SAMe tomorrow instead of carnitine, and I'll report back if I notice anything after a couple of weeks. Reading some more on SAM-e and a few more things that tie in here. Apparently SAM-e is converted into glutathione in the liver, and as...
