Your thoughts on this? For the knowledgeable among us.

[Guest guest]

I am a participant in an online forum that has nothing to do with hypogonadism

except as an ancillary issue that guys sometimes mention. However, I ran across

some statements by one of the participants that really have me kinda floored

because I have never run across anything like this. Now, granted, I'm a novice

to the world of TRT, but what this guy is saying flies in the face of everything

I've learned about the subject thus far. If anyone is willing to comment, may I

have your thoughts on the following quote? Who knows, I may learn something new!

Always a plus!
