So, even tho' there is no connection of tea tree oil causing breast growth in adult males, I am wondering if there is some connection with the relatively swift (3 weeks) results I have had since starting my 1000 - 2500mg PM ramp up? Does anyone know if the Tea Tree Oil used topically facilitates E reception or something similar? I have researched some this morning, but haven't found anything.

Lisa,
Think in terms of recreating puberty as in breast growth, it's been mentioned before that our breasts are going through the growth stages, reference the Tanner Stages of growth. Sometimes we loose site of how the stages are progressed, maybe because it sounds creepy, idk. But tee tree oil does cause Gynecomastia in young boys as you researched, in terms of breast growth!

that study wasn't accurate to begin with.  The essential oils weren't tested alone, but rater combined with another carrier oil to dilute them.  That substance was dimethylsulfoxide, which is an estrogen receptor agonist.  The carrier oil they combined the tea tree and lavender with for the study was a xenoestrogen. 

here is a link to the published article regarding that study (look under the subtitle Methods: Mamalian cell culture for the bit about dimethylsulfoxide)

and a quick google search of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) will reveal it's estrogenic effects

Doll try combining it woth lavender!! Apparently the two oils have strong estrogenic properties when used together!!

it's also been mentioned to stay away from PABA while using tee tree and lavender oil.
