I didn't say all free advice is bad. I just said consider the source. Your parents, friends, and family have a vested interest in the advice they give you (they dont want to support you for the rest of their lives) but advice on an open forum should always be researched before believing it at face value. There is a lot of very good info on here and some very intelligent people, you yourself included from what I've read that you have posted prior. There's also alot of let's say not quite as sharp folks that put out info that is out of their level of knowledge. And that can be damaging! Telling someone they don't need an ai at a certain dose, or any medical dosing, protocol, technique whatever should come from a professional person trained in hrt/trt procedures. Sure I got a lot of friends on hrt and you bet since I turned them on to the doctor and since I'm friends with the doctor they always are asking me questions and you know I tell them what I think. But I always tell them Check with ( dr. Name) he's cool he's the doc.
