Brainstorming & Ideas (PFS - Gbol)

- Start date
Hi guys. I have been a lurker on both ray peat forums and then here.
I'm in the same seat as you guys regarding what I think is PFS due to finasterid usage.
I used it 5 years ago only for couple of weeks until my gut said this is wrong.
Have been different since then didn't understand it until I found gbolduevs thread.
I m using lecithin and salt scrubs for hairloss and its the first thing that I actually think will help. Been using it for 2 weeks only. I'm also trying out Thorne extra nutrients, but getting headaches from the back of the neck couple of hours after 2-4 pills and feel kinda nauseous. took 500mg aspirin and feely great it was like it was super potent.
Anybody else feel the same way?

Seems resveratrol is not going to rise your estro. If it does, it will drop them since it can act as an anti aromatase, but from what gbolduev says, it seems to make estrogens receptors more sensitive.. I did not find this anywhere around the internet, but gbolduev says it.

First result when I used google scholar and the search terms "resveratrol estrogen receptor". Google scholar is amazing. Never use anything else, other than textbooks, if you want to study/understand physiology. Just using a generic search engine is a waste of time.

No problem! Happy to help. Learning good search strategies is probably the most important thing to develop if you're into research nowadays.
Yes, that is no surprise. The body would downregulate estrogen synthesis because resveratrol increases sensitivity to estrogen. The body always wants to keep balance.

Yea I've been crazy busy been planning to start one recently. I'll get it up there by the end of the night. All I can say is that 8 hours in on a 75mg RU dose I am feeling a legitimate libido surge. Can't make this up, I fapped earlier today as well because it had been a few days and I didn't want to see a libido surge from "non-fapping". I wanted to see a libido surge to be from the RU and I'm seeing it. Obviously a lot ahead but this is exciting so far.

Is there any resveratrol protocol? It seems to be a safe and easy try, so I would like to commit myself to it. I used the search but coudn't find specific information. How much should I take? How often? How long? Has anyone got cured or at least saw great improvements on it? I want to follow a protocol, so I think it would me more complex than just buying a bottle of wine and taking aleatory doses.

I'm not sure on the dosages, I don't know if gbold has really ever specified and I wouldn't expect him to. Resveratrol + DHT has been the combo he's thrown around. So something like knotweed and r-andro cycled together might be worth trying for some people. I'm not sure though. I am really not an expert on PFS.
