I've read your article on using Aromasin as part of PCT plan but I still have some questions.

I've contacted Dr. Colker on this subject an he seems to think this combo is a bad idea because in his mind nolva w/Aromasin is too much of a harsh run, giving your body more toxic metabolites to get rid of. He states further "So don't overdo it here because negative feedback also governs the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and not just the pituitary-gonadal axis. Backlash here could result in a worse physiologic shut-down and an even longer recovery...or perhaps none!"

He also states that Aromasin is the "black sheep" of AI's and in reference to you he says you have typically felt the same way...is he wrong about this?

Finally, he believes that the only use for Aromasin is "In clinical practice we tend to only use Aromasin in post-menopausal women that have estrogen receptor positive breast cancer with metasteses that has been unresponsive to Tamoxifan therapy. We use it to augment because, even though it is an irreversible aromatase inhibitor, it tends to be a lousy stand-alone therapy for these types of women."

…any thoughts on all of this?

I don't know the dude....I know of him, but don't know him....

I'd prefer not to comment on stuff from people I haven't spoken to personally...

That's fine...

Without commenting on his thoughts do you still feel that this is the best approach to PCT? If I run HCG on cycle would a nolva/aromasin plan still be what you'd recomend? I ask this because in your outline you have hcg as part of the PCT, so I am assuming it would be unecisary as part of PCT.

I'm still a little unclear on the aromasin as part of PCT because I don't fully understand how running any AI including a-dex or letrozol would be any difrant then aromasin.

Please clarify

The Aromasin is a nice addition because of the aromatization possible with HCG. Also, Aromasin raises testosterone in men.

It is a type-I AI, unlike Letro and Arim, which are Type-II. Very different.

So without HCG as part of PCT you would recommend Aromasin? The reason I ask is because I use HCG during my cycle at 500iu e5d, wouldn't using it as part of PCT as well be unnecessary? If this is the case would you just say stick with the standard Clomid/Nolva PCT? Or would you still go with the Nolva/HCG/Aromasin combo?

Sorry if I'm being an annoying ass on this topic, I'm just looking for some more clarification on this.
