Hemochromatosis Support Group
Hemochromatosis is a hereditary disease characterized by improper processing by the body of dietary iron which causes iron to accumulate in a number of body tissues, eventually causing organ dysfunction. It is the main iron overload disorder. Hemochromatosis is notorious for having symptoms that are often initially misattributed to other diseases.
Several months ago, someone gave me information regarding Androgel and it converting to be estrogen dominant. They said there was something that could be added to it to make it work as the testosterone it iis intended to be. I can't find that discussion anywhere and I can't remember what it was. We were talking about "man boobs", belly fat and other side effects of androgel. If this is something any of you know about, please respond. Thank you!!
I went on testosterone supplementation via injection of testosterone cypionate adn my doctor told me to take 60 Mg of Zinc Citrate twice a day as Zinc inhibits the aramatose activity. Later I tried a cream and the doctor had them add Chrysin to the cream as it is a natural aramtose inhibitor also. In the end the cream did not boost my testosterone sufficiently and I am back to weekly injections I do myself at home.
Be sure the doctor measures your PSA before and during your treatment as testosterone supplemnetation will not give you prostrate cancer but will spur any growth thas is going on already. My doctor measures testosterone and estrogen every few months to monitor my levels and adjust my dosage as required.
I have found I feel decades youinger and the more I read about the subject the more I am convinced that low testosterone and/or high estrogen causes premature aging in a lot of men.
Good Luck
