... I guess, I take that back. I only meant that the way in which you are and have been analyzing the effect herbs has on both growth and hormones provides more insight (relative to other users of this forum) into the logic behind NBE programming

I had no intention of recreating your program, but instead using your logic to understand one way of doing NBE.

Ah. I guess I can see that. Yeah... I do believe that the key really is to understand completely our own bodies and to manipulate things towards a certain balance.

It is my personal pet belief that a more "extreme" female cycle is the key. Bring your peaks as high as you possibly can and get your lows as low as you possibly can while trying to get your cycle to follow as close to a 28 day cycle as possible.

How you get there has to be based on your own personal starting point. And shouldn't require nearly so extreme of doses as what I am using. With my starting point I have a LOT of testosterone to suppress and need to replace a nearly non-existent supply of estrogen in comparison to what a genetic female would need.

It is also important in my mind to keep in mind the other effects of herbs you might use other than intended effects and to make sure you aren't unbalancing something else. Which is why I feel the need to warn people away from licorice. The only licorice that'll have any hormonal effect at all will literally take a sledgehammer to your hormones. Not good. Not at all good.

Thanks for your compliment of my approach... Though I'm really not sure if my stated belief has any real merit. There's nothing to back me up, it's just a feeling I have and am running with.
