I have been using PM for years now, and in pretty high dosage (2500-4000 daily). And I have had pretty decent luck with my growth over that time, but I have always suspected that the potency of the PM has been inconsistent. After all, what do we really know about the companies that produce this substance and their methods. Oh sure, Ainterol comes with tamper resistant packaging which is a good sign I suppose, but as they are an unregulated supplier of a substance never truly tested by the FDA or any other reliable and trustworthy agency I can find record of (not that the FDA is necessarily trustworthy... anyone seen Dallas Buyers Club? If not, do so, it is a great film!), how do we know that one batch is the same as another? How do we know, for that matter, that Ainterol even tries to be sure that the quality is consistent? Oh, that's right, they tell us it is.

And , of course, the same can be said for every other company producing PM.
Don't get me wrong, I continue to take this lovely stuff. What choice is there really?
When people get different results I think we all need to realize that there is precious little here (or anywhere) in the way of real, hard, factually verifiable science. We get bits and pieces of various studies from various sources each having looked at some vaguely relevant and connected area of research, but none specifically combining all the needed factors to determine proper procedures for engineering breast growth in males by using PM. No one has done that. Not that I have ever seen.
I have been reading these boards for a long time and I have seen a lot of members come and go. I have also seen many different pieces of research posted and found that much of it is contradictory. Some research shows SP as an anti-androgen ( and I use it myself, hoping for that result) but other research seems to say SP can actually increase testosterone (so sometimes I top using it, afraid of that result). Some articles (and members) promote progesterone cream (I've tried that, too!) while others claim it kills breast growth (so I don't use it with any consistency). Seriously, I have seen all these articles over the years. It is confusing. What's a girl to do? :-)
Add to that the fact that the effect of these substances has to be altered by our personal situations (age, height,weight, genetics, metabolism etc), and the whole thing, it seems, goes out the window in terms of real, verifiable science.
I think, dear ones, that we are all a little like the alchemists of old, operating in the dark with little real knowledge, guessing our way along on faith, bravery, and imagination (with a little gullibility thrown in) and relying upon a kind of spoken word (alright... typed word) oral history of the very unscientific experiments each of us is performing upon our decidedly non-medically trained selves as our guide.
Sheesh! No wonder we get different results.
Sigh...
What's a girl to do? Really?
I think I will take some more PM, and then I think I will go shopping.
Merry Christmas everyone! (Unless you don't celebrate Christmas... in which case, Happy Winter Solstice! or Happy Saturnalia! or Happy whatever you celebrate at this time of year to chase away the winter blues!
