Dr Will Powers’ own statements and theorizing
Mentions treatments or doses — not guidance
Summary (paraphrased)
In the same CDG thread, Powers condenses the dose argument: he does not say CDG cannot do anything — he says it cannot do anything at 250 mg taken 25 days ago, because a single apple delivers more D-glucaric acid than that dose.
Key points (paraphrased)
- Single-apple dose comparison for D-glucaric acid intake.
- Narrow scope of denial: this dose, this interval — not the mechanism itself.
- 9 upvotes.
Why it’s in the corpus
Pairs with PRH-1536; merge candidate at intake.
Context — the post Powers was replying toVerbatim third-party text, shown for context only — not Powers’ statement. Usernames removed.ShowHide
Replies to a commenter noting PFS patients report crashing off mild triggers (ginger cited) and arguing that disrupting the gut in a sensitized state can cause a crash without deepening the syndrome in the typical anti-androgen pattern — expecting the OP to return to baseline in weeks.

Powers quantifies the dose argument against the CDG crash claim: broccoli contains roughly 3.5 g of glucaric acid per kilogram — the precursor to the commercial calcium-D-glucarate salt and the natural beta-glucuronidase inhibitor — so one dinner's broccoli…

Powers reduced calcium D-glucarate's (CDG) action to a single mechanism — inhibition of bacterial beta-glucuronidase — arguing it only matters for patients who actually have substantial beta-glucuronidase activity, using a house-fire/shed-fire analogy. He…

Re: CDG Theory

Powers gave a deliberately simple account of calcium D-glucarate: as a beta-glucuronidase inhibitor it causes glucuronidated compounds and catechols to be dumped into the gut and lost rather than reabsorbed, leaving COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase) with…
