Yeah Loths, that thread has been around the traps a while & is the proper proceedure to running letro. It does not always work for gyno that has been present for some time. Letro is still a bitch of a drug to use either on cycle or off & it does have a negative effect on the bodies immune system & ya feel like shit on it. I guess its worth a try for those with estrogen lump issues.Loths said:

Noted Bro, I dig around before buying the Letro... my anabolic 6th ed. 2007 does not mention letro to reverse gyno and nothing on the inume system side effect.... I was unaware of this possibility... I better be carefull... Is like the moonsoon season where I am, definetely dont want a pneunmonia... I notced my gyno two weeks ago..so I am hoping it works for me... I already have the novaldex on the side once I am done with the Letro treatment.
Will search for more info on the net. Will keep all posted!

I personally know people that have taken letro for existing gyno and it worked. Doesnt work for everyone but there are studies to back this. You need to expand your reasearch outside of this site bro. You might learn something.
Letrozole-Femara
Letrozole
Chemical Name: Femara
Drug Class: Type-II Aromatase Inhibitor
Letrozole is Novartis’ entry into the breast cancer treatment world. It’s a Type-II Aromatase Inhibitor (AI), which means that it competitively binds to the aromatase enzyme and inhibits the enzyme’s ability to metabolize testosterone into estrogen. This drug was developed to fight breast cancer by inhibiting the aromatization.
Letrozole is probably the most powerful Aromatase Inhibitor used by athletes today. It has been shown to reduce estrogen levels in women with breast cancer by 98% or more (1). SO clearly, it’s useful for administration to male steroid using athletes who are eager to prevent some of estrogen’s nastier effects on their bodies- development of breast tissue, water retention, etc…
When we take a look at its effects in men, Letrozole actually reduced estrogen in one test subject to undetectable levels (2). In another clinical study, intravenous administration of Letrozole (2.5mcg for 28 days), Letrozole lowered Estrogen by 46% in the young men tested, and 62% in the elderly subjects. In addition, Letrozole also significantly increased LH levels to a whopping 339 and 323% in the young and the elderly, respectively and Testosterone by 146 and 99%, respectively. (3) Letrozole was also able to produce a peak LH response to Gonadatropin Releasing Hormone equal to a 152 and 52% increase from baseline in either young or older men, respectively.
As you can see, Letrozole is a very powerful drug, and as a result, only very tiny doses are necessary. An effective daily dose of Letrozole for most people is usually about .25-.5mg/day, even though clinically, it is typically used at 2.5mgs/day. Twenty micrograms of Letro was enough, in one study done on men, to reduce estrogen levels by almost a third. (4)
Letrozole’s effects on cholesterol are, really difficult to pin down precisely. They are, in the words of one researcher: "inconsistent.” I can tell you that in my opinion, reducing your bodies estrogen to virtually nothing, will eventually take its toll on your cholesterol profile, and will kill your sex drive and your joints- all of which require estrogen to function safely and effectively.
Even if you take very low doses of Letrozole, it will build up to reasonable blood plasma levels, as it has a 2-4 day half-life, and this long half life also means you need to take Letrozole for 60 days to get a steady blood plasma level (5), and that it will take a very long time to clear out of your system.
Letrozole is the only pharmacological “cure” for gyno that I know of to have ever worked in bodybuilders. In a study conducted on rodents, Letrozole was able to effectively destroy breast tissue tumors (6), and it’s also been effective on many bodybuilders who have used it to eliminate an existing case of gynocomastia. In my case, I used Letro to get rid of my own gyno, by starting with a dose of 2.5mgs/day and then lowering it by .25mcgs per week once my symptoms abated.
With regards to using this stuff on a cycle, unless you are extremely gyno prone, or need to reduce estrogen levels to virtually nothing (for a bodybuilding contest or whatever), it’s going to be too powerful for most people. Male and female competitors typically use it to get the last bits of estrogen related water retention out of them during the final weeks of contest preparation. But when used on a typical cycle, Letro is generally overkill unless a ripped look with zero water and estrogen is desired or if the user is prone to gyno.

Bro I have been in the game for few years & there is not much that I have not tried myself. Letro does have its uses, there is no doubt about that but it is a very powerful drug & needs to be used sparingly by the average Joe BBer. The method of administration you initially posted is correct admin of femera & then PCT using nolva or another lesser AI like adex or Asan is correct & kills many lump issues with users. Just be aware that the drug is invasive & has side issues.Loths said:

nzrodney, thanks... I have one question... How long should I give Letro to tell if is working... I know we all have different Bio-chemistries, but there is an average?
One final note on the hydro Cortizone, it ease the pain, but did not stop the gyno.... i tried if for a week before letro...From the posts in this thread, I dont thinking is worth messing around with.
Thanks to all for contributing to this thread!
