Is this statement true about finasteride and DHT?

[Chris Johnson]

"Without sufficient DHT, you lose libido, your penis shrinks, your semen becomes watery, your muscles/bone/joints will shrink, and your bone won't retain calcium and magnesium."

Anything else?

I think those people are just trying to sell their own products and they are taking advantage of fear of finasteride.

how much DHT is sufficient DHT ?

DHT production is necessary for the development of secondary sexual characteristics in males at puberty. Males who have a low level of the enzyme 5- reductase cannot convert enough testosterone to DHT during fetal development or during pre-pubertal growth and have secondary sexual characteristics more like those of females.

In puberty, there is a significant increase in the amount of testosterone produced which allows for the production of enough DHT to produce the male characters even with a low level of 5- reductase.


I think it is fine to use DHT blockers as long as you have been through puberty.

That's our favorite Dr. Lin again and his "Orgasm & BrainWash Engineering Center, where 'BrainWash' is defined as an alternation of gene and enzyme expression in your 3 brains -- the head, gut and pelvic cavity". He is what you call a fruit, and his advice is something one simply does not take.

Is ANY of that true.... Geez!!!

I have bad joints, and am always in pain. Some people say I don't have enough Calcium. Does Propecia really do any of it?

I think you need that if your DHT levels drop too low then you lose the hair on your scalp. However if the level of DHT is too high then you get a chronic inflammation which will make you lose your hair. It´s about moderation.

If you eliminate DHT from your body (e.g., DHT level = 0), the chance of baldness is astronomically low. Refer to the many, many studies on the hermaphrodites from the Dominican Republic, etc., Nesta.

Here is the link Bryan posted to pictures of pseudohermaphrodites who genetically have NO DHT.

They do have some DHT (from the Type I isozyme). They lack the Type II isozyme (the one that finasteride inhibits) and show scant beard growth, full head of hair, small prostate, etc.
