I'm sympathetic to people willing to do research with their own endocrine systems -- after all if doctors refuse to research or support you then what can you do

I'm sympathetic to people willing to do research with their own endocrine systems -- after all if doctors refuse to research or support you then what can you do? But agreed, there's a lot of FUD and tribal knowledge out there, for example, PCT as you've said. There are folks who have had good experiences post-PCT but it is difficult to distinguish what happened naturally vs. any effect PCT would've had.
