The ruling of the European Supreme Court was rather groundbreaking if you think about it.
It practically turned the burden of proof around for the benefit of the patient.

It is now enough of a patient gets severe side effects that can be traced back to the time when he used a new medication. If hints and evidence is there that with the time of taking a certain medication the patient experiences severe health-developments, the burden of proof turns to the industry to proof their medication is not causative.

Think about it in terms of finasteride. Thousands and thousands of reports from users.

And think about what a community like the ray peat -Forum could provide in such cases: Dozens of pub-med published publications to consistently and logically proof numerous mechanisms of actions how finasteride causes illness.

pls open a counselling-Agency in Europe that specialists in providing law-firms that sue big Pharma with scientific articles and interpretations.
The lawyers of the industry would not stand a chance

Finasteride, Isotretinoin, synthetic estrogens in cancer treatment, statins.... what a Field day that would be

A TSH of 1 is not "hyperthyroid." That is a normal value. In fact even less than 1 is not necessarily hyperthyroidism. Normal TSH range is .4 to 4. You would need high T4 and T3 levels as well to have hyperthyroidism. Typically you would have symptoms to go along with it like excess sweating, unanticipated weight loss, tachycardia, etc... Usually when people are hyperthyroid there are distinct characteristics that are easily identifiable. Yes gyno is strongly correlated with excess prolactin.

Fasting BG levels of 90 to 100 is not prediabetic. Only if your fasting levels are >100 should you worry. IMO your protein intake is too high in relation to your carb intake. Studies have shown that an optimal carb to protein ratio is at least 2:1, and higher than that is not detrimental. I've seen guys have success on 4:1 carb to protein ratio where other ratios have failed. When your carb intake is high protein needs are lower. For active individuals, studies have shown that protein needs are at most .8g/lb or about 1.75g/kg, not 2-3g/kg. This is for athletes that exercise 4+ hours per day. So if .8g is enough for them, it's definitely enough for you.

If your testosterone is high then your estrogen will typically also be high. A good ratio of T:E for fertility purposes is around 18 to 20.

I don't know much about the bugs you are referring to but you should probably see a specialist that handles that sort of thing.

So what do you think the lower range of estrogen levels should be for young men? I am concerned that suppressing aromatase lowers estrogen a bit too much and can cause complications such as nerve pain, fatigue, and low libido.

Here’s my attempt at a solution. Epitestosterone is the ultimate steroidogenesis regulator. According to a study I came across on selfhacked, 7 keto dhea in topical form rubbed on the belly for 8 days resulted in a huge increase in epitestosterone after a 30-90 days delay after the eight day dosing period
8 Benefits of 7-Keto DHEA + Side Effects, Dosage, Reviews - Selfhacked

Vasoseven sems to be the best brand on the market

What is the benefit of the "7 keto" dhea variety? I have used dhea on and off, but eventually stopped because it would have me feeling irritable and tired a few hours after dosing (although libido and energy did improve)

That is indeed amazing! Let's see what happens to drug market in the next few years. Whatever drugs get suddenly pulled from the EU market (after being already approved) you can imagine how "good" and "safe" for you they are...

Rosemary extract with rosmarinic acid is very good for gaba.
bear in mind rosemary is also supposedly a 5-ar inhibitor.......if thats true, it might be the last thing someone with PFS needs

saying that im not 100% convinced it is a 5-ar blocker
