Dr Will Powers’ own statements and theorizing
Summary (paraphrased)
Follow-up in the same labs/genome/DUTCH thread. Powers states the T → DHT → 3A-ADG → urinary androgen metabolites pathway is a near-guaranteed anomaly in every PFS patient in his practice on whom he has these tests — zero exceptions. His practical conclusion: if that pathway is disrupted at baseline, 5ARI drugs should be avoided.
Key points (paraphrased)
- T→DHT→3A-ADG→urinary-metabolite axis claimed anomalous in 100% of tested PFS patients.
- Clinical rule proposed: baseline disruption of this axis = avoid 5ARIs.
Why it’s in the corpus
The strongest quantitative claim Powers makes about his biomarker panel (universal anomaly rate) plus a concrete screening recommendation — important for the corpus's diagnostics section, with the caveat that it reflects his uncontrolled clinical sample.

Powers lists his diagnostic array for PFS: blood testosterone, blood DHT, blood DHEAS, blood 3α-androstanediol glucuronide, a urinary DUTCH complete panel, and whole-genome sequencing reviewed against the gene list from his posts. He claims he has yet to find…

Brief reply in the glucuronidation-theory thread. Powers proposes a selection bias: men who seek out finasteride do so because DHT is their predominant — possibly their only — metabolism pathway. High baseline DHT may therefore indicate underlying…
