Re: Correcting low/normal testosterone? T 12, FSH 2.2, LH 3.7- Xian's Rant

[Guest guest]

Because the ones who know the most about T generally aren't MDs (with a few

noteworthy exceptions), and most MDs refuse to listen.

And it starts at the top, with testosterone's classification as a controlled

substance. The misinformation that led to testosterone being viewed as

" addictive " and " harmful " is compounded by ignorant politicians and sports

lobbyists advocating medical policy rather than a sober evaluation of the data.

These measures have limited the number, scope, and type of studies about T

(despite the fact that there are numerous ones), restricting clinical trials

almost exclusively to men with below reference range T. Further, they often

pass sub-optimal results (a bump into the low or middle of the " normal "

reference range, rather than the upper 1/3) as satisfactory, causing some

doctors to interpret 800 or 900 ng/dL as almost excessive. Meanwhile, women can

access estrogen and progesterone at any time in their life without demonstrating

below reference range levels of their hormones.

Sorry that you've experienced the aftermath of politics, Wilfred. The ignorance

& misinformation circulated by doctors about T is a direct result of the

political demonization of anabolic steroids.

Well, I think it would behoove us to become advocates. 1) Educate MEN 2) Educate

DOCS 3) Spread modern accurate information on the web.

This forum is great, but its like the church choir. Convinced, involved, and

singing the songs to a captive believing audience.

We need evangelists! Can I get an Amen?
