I'm growing a quarter inch per month. Not that this is not sufficient. It's even faster than what Eve M got on average. But she used flax and soy and hops, and I only use hops as a phyto-estrogen.
I have been thinking about a second phyto-estrogen for a while, and I have flax, milk thistle, and panax ginseng here. I even see some logic in using oats to lower SHBG, because that goes up naturally with age, and binds the free testosterone, so aromatase can't make estrogens out of it. Flax, on the other hand, increases SHBG, so it could be counterproductive to use flax without adding oats. Both flax and oats are in Eve M's program.
Hanah.k and Dargona are now on both hops and PM:

I will check their updates to see if there's something in it for me.

Mostly male habits coming back, by lack of the estrogens and anti-androgens in PM. Not much different from what I would get if I stopped hops.
Chrishoney did a great search on PM cancer research. Finally some convincing results:

My arguments for not using PM are becoming weaker. So who knows, one day?
The only thing that still worries me is that PM increases dopamine directly:

Might be great for Parkinson's patients, but it also means PM can turn some people into junkies overnight. But even that can be managed: try it for a week, stop it, and see what happens.
