These are tough questions. I wouldn't make tea from horse tail, because orthosilicic acid is the one you want, and it's not thermally stable.

Sorry Isabelle, now you know what my man goes through when I think about normal things in life and anaylze them..kind of like why is the sky blue..Oh wow..I thought eating it was toxic but read that link I posted and decided to put it in my shake..not sure if it is the horsetail or what but this time my shake made me tired not sure if putting the horsetail or not did it ..or I maybe getting not enough or too much carbs, I put alfalfa in too but dont think it was tha..anyway ok will eat it instead, fine with me cause teas are a pain sometimes..rather put in shake and down it all at once..
Strange that you need to get up often at night. I used to have the same problem, but it was caused by the pressure from gas. I don't remember everything I changed, but moving fenugreek to noon helped.
Yeah I know, I will try not to drink to much before bed then and see what happens.. moving FG what is the purpose for that ..haha I did have it last night in tea form maybe that was a mistake, hence more peeing.. and I think horsetail same thing cause after my shake an hour ago I had to pee alot..so experimenting more I will have to say the gas department pretty good and in the morning (not to sound gross) how can I put this I am really regular 2 and as for the whole day maybe total of 3x's, thats a good sign I am not holding toxins for acne and joint pain..etc.. And go figure this I weighed myself this morning and I weigh 4 lbs less from about 2 weeks ago, but the girls are the same size, stomach pretty flat..but feeling fuller..oh I stopped my homemade lotions..I bought a lotion yesterday and it smells sooooo yummy it is by organix "ever slim coconut milk and white chocolate (body shaping souffle) it has this in it:
water, stearic acid, glycerin, cetyl alcohol, dimethicone, glycine soja (soybean) oil, caprylic capric triglyceride, isopropyl mystirate, hydroxyethyl cellulose, fragance, cocoa nucifera(coconut) extract, theobroma cacao (cocoa bean) extract, Theobroma caca seed butter (cocoa butter) pheoxyethanol, ethylhexyglycerin.
It goes on nice and absorbs nice too..smell sooooo awesome and feels great..
SP blocks DHT no better or no worse than hops. But a friend recently showed me this:
http://www.jbc.org/content/265/11/6048.full.pdf
This sentence struck me:
"125I-SHBG could be prevented
from binding to its receptor by a variety of steroids
whose relative inhibitory activity (dihydrotestosterone
>> 2-methoxyestradiol > testosterone > estradiol >>>
methyltrienolone > cortisol) was almost identical to
their relative ability to bind to SHBG."
So DHT binds to SHBG stronger than testosterone. That's no surprise, but somehow I never thought about that. That means if hops or SP won't completely block testosterone becoming DHT, SHBG will pick up the DHT that does get made. So SHBG is a kind of safety net, picking up the last DHT the anti-androgens don't stop.
Taking large amounts of flax for weeks or months increases SHBG. So now I understand why flax is in NBE programs, and why it worked well in my experiments. It's a different kind of anti-androgen.
Wow great info ...wooo you did so much work ..thank you very much.. now flaxseed oil doesnt count ..huh.. now I thought flaxs wasnt good...man confusing but I understand...maybe that is why the recommend flaxseed oil though for pcos people which I think is me too.. now in your opinion do I need soy with the herbs I am using?
Again thank you Isabelle..they may have been hard questions but you answered them and gained good info for yourself ..huh..
