Do what the Doctors in India say. If it hasnt got better after 4 months - the will likely extend the course.

You should have stuck with accutane. It makes it worse before it gets better.

@Devolution Here is a link to chemo regimen for APML which includes Tretinoin (ATRA). In Britain, isotretinoin is not used in chemo - so I took Tretinoin as the closest comparison. [Edited image out...

Yes reading that page, I think he knows more biochemistry than me. But I’ve been thinking about this 5-AR theory. It should be testable. If 5-AR has been downregulated as they are suggesting, it shou...

@Devolution Did you take Finasteride? CRISPR-Cas9 was only discovered in 2013 and i doubt it will have clinical applications for many years yet. It also is a way of altering genetics not epigenetics. ...

@DevolutionI’m sorry that I’ve upset you. It wasn’t my intention. The problem with the internet is that it can only communicate words, rather than delivery and manner. I am not a massive fan of psych...
