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."
β¦any thoughts on all of this?
