I found The living legend CDnuts l

[5 alpha victim]

I recently stumbled upon this forum and I had to join because I would have been stupid not to. I have been reading through all of the threads and it's obvious that there is some awsome people here who give great advice and info.

Hopefully everyone will be ok with this, but I am another 5 alpha reductase inhibiter victim, except that I took Avodart and not propecia.

It's clear that the people here already know who cdnuts is and what he has acomplished so it does not seen like I'm "letting be cat out of the bag" but seriously you can't read more than ten threads on the thousands of threads propecia help has without hearing cdnuts name mentioned. This guy has been able to do what lots (and I mean lots) of guys have failed to do. Your recovery thread from PH has inspired me so much. I was one of those guys that probable contributed to why cdnuts left. I just did not get what he was saying at the time I first found his thread a year and a half ago. I was not mentally tough enough to get it.

But after reading it again recently I get what he is saying. Their is no magic bult with curing PFS. You need to make drastic life style changes that will allow you OVERTIME to constantly nudge your body and endicrine system back in the right direction.

I seen cdnuts's post about how he's done with that dark time of his life and therefor he does not want to turn this into a propecia help forum. I completly understand that and respect it, he has already done more for a bunch of complete strangers than anyone else would by posting his recovery methods.

With that said I would like to mention to anyone who cares what I have been able to accomplish so far on my own:

4 and a half years ago I crashed from taking a DHT inhibiter. I lost ten pounds of muscel and put on belly fat over night, I had no labido, had complete Ed and depression, had low total T, free T, high SHBG and estrogen all of which came over night with my crash.

First thing I did was waited 8 months doing nothing other than eating better and working out.

Second thing I did was I went on a two year clomid restart program. Luckily I found a real good endo who was willing to do this for me. It
Restored my hormone levels, they are all perfect for a 30 year old.

Time, restoring my levels and working out has got me where I am at today which is 50 percent recovered. I still have moderate to severe ED, senstivity issues. It' now time to finish recovering and i plan on doing this by following everything cdnuts did. I am now mentally tuff enough to even begin to be on this guys level.

Today I have finished my first ever fast. I made it 7 days. It's been crazy hard, I can not fucking wait to eat whole food tonight (yes I know I'm taking refeeding very slow). after today I am following (as outlined by cdnuts) a strict gluten free diet that consists of a paleo diet with carbbackloading (only clean carbs). I will eat this wAy for a few months, no cheat days, no beer no nothing. I will do high intensity training with weight lifting through out the week. This 7 day fast Is a great start for this new life.

In the near future I will do another fast but 14 days. I will than go into my first "cdnuts" cycle. It will consist of the following:

4-6 weeks of alpha hard.

One month of pct using the same compounds from the testosterone recovery stack cdnuts used. Its toco 8, RES and the D-acid stuff. During this time I will cycle several diff T boosters. A diff one for every day.

One-two additional months of cycling the Natural T boostets. That is one complete cycle and 4 over the course of 1-2 years needs to be completed.

I'm looking forward to fighting this thing now, it's just a part of life now. It's not dark it's just a part of life. This fast has provided me with the mental toughness I need to see this through.

Cdnuts, sorry if this is reminding you of all this crap, but it's true your posts have reached many and you are the man.
