    scary indeed.

    it also references[20] a double blind crossover study on treating gyno with tamoxifen - which had a 70% success rate.

    XLNT paper -one brings up indirectly is the need for antiestrogens when you use HCG .

    The placental hormone human chori-onic
    gonadotropin (hCG) is similar to LH in
    both its structure and its action on the testis.
    Thus, elevated serum levels of hCG dispro-portionately
    stimulate normal Leydig cells of
    the testis to secrete increased amounts of
    estradiol. In addition, many hCG-secreting
    tumors can take up estrogen precursors from
    the circulation and aromatize them into
    active estrogens.

    Also that you can get it from some kind of hair lotion!!

    And here's an abstract about tamoxifen (Nolva) treatment for gyno that's footnoted in the study:

    Interestingly, the treatment was for only a month and only 10mg were used.
