tamoxifen vs Arimidex (Anastrozole); E in general (Propecia, Avodart, Spiro, DHT & hormones ...)

posted by gc1961, 18.06.2007, 11:49

Here is the skinny on Estrogen.

1. Blocking DHT does increase Estrogen (and the bad Estrogens at that)
2. Blocking Testosterone production using Spiro/Flut has a similar effect on Estrogen.
3. You can tackle E via diet and vitamins (aspirin, zinc, etc)
4. Powerful natural (test tube) products often don't work in the human body due to poor bioavailability or systemic interference, e.g. chrysin
5. Anastrozole is very powerful and completely blocks the Aromatization of androgens; 1/4 tab every other day will work well.
6. Buy generic Anastrozole; it is cheaper and less likely to be counterfeit than the Astra Zeneca branded product.
7. Anastrozole is much safer (and more effective) than Tamoxifen
8. As noted Tamoxifen is an early SERM; SERMs are an area of intense research as system-wide blockade of Estrogen is likely to be VERY unhealthy over a long period of time. In the short-term Anastrozole appears far less toxic than Tamoxifen.

Now a few notes on E in general.

1. Estrogen plays a critical role in Prostate cancer and male pattern baldness
2. It is now generally accepted that it is the T/E ratio that is critical in cancer (breast & prostate) and MPB, i.e. too much E. It is also this ratio that leads to Gyno.
3. Estrogen is a complex and mis-understood subject with many recent advances, e.g. the identification of 2 Estrogen Receptors in hair; one acts like the Androgen Receptor and one acts in an opposite manner.
4. Aromatase is identified late in the Anagen phase. The most likely primary impact of E in the hair cycle is the inhibition of transition to the Anagen phase.

My experience.

I took Arimidex with Proscar in Jan 2003 and shocked some regrowth of long sleeping follicles. I stopped Arimidex after 4 months and have retained my hair regrowth to this day.

Oh, I used to post here as BingBang and many will remember me and my pictures.
