interesting topic. I would say there are people have died from steroid abuse over time... being 5 5 and 250 pounds of mass is gonna wear down your organs.. also the pounding your liver and kidney's take. or there is the arguement about cell growth improving your chances of cancer. this is why its important to be patient and cycle properly. people who run ridiculous doses and stay on long periods of time are gonna strain their body one way or another, the heart can only take so much pounding.
the notion though that if you do steroids you are gonna drop dead the next day is downright silly. there are a lot of myths out there from people who think they know but don't know sh
t.
these corticosteroids that docs hand out like candy for allergies or breathing problems are more dangerous and have more side effects then AAS. birth control is also a hormone, i've seen girls go nuts after going off or on. or get majorly ill.
corticosteroids are tough to go off of once you are on, birth control usually is taken for long periods of time. AAS meanwhile you need to be smart and patient.

^^^exactly. if you really de-hydrate yourself you can kill yourself that way. running tren I wake up with yellow pee every morning.. i am tempted to hook up an IV to myself from waking up every morning so de-hydrated.
now say I was to drink alcohol, drink not very much water, run an AI, and eat a lot of processed salty foods. then i could easily get so de-hydrated that i would need an IV immediately or face death.

I'd have to agree with what other folks have said above. Have people died "because of" steroid use before? Sure. Just like people have died from alcohol, other illicit substances, commonly prescribed medications, OTC medications, and all kinds of foods or herbs. Plenty of people die every year from taking acetaminophen (tylenol) which in higher dosages is liver toxic. Just like anything else, taking too much or going overboard can have adverse effects or kill you, or getting gear from a bad source, just like you hear about product recalls for OTC medications because impurities are killing people. Steroids are just very demonized and really played up in the media for some odd reason. If someone who takes aas does anything wrong, no matter any other factors like mental illness or other substances or other issues, it's always the aas that caused the problem. Meanwhile things like antidepressants can actually make people worse if not dosed correctly and can lead to horrific behavior and suicidal tendencies but they are passed out like candy while the media regales us with tales of "roid rage". They have drugs for everything that are just peachy keen to give out like crazy to help solve any perceived problem, except for something as horrific as wanting to help give your hard work in the gym a boost to look and feel good.
By the same logic people use against aas they should outlaw ding dongs because the more you eat the bigger you get and large amounts of ding dongs can cause all kinds of medical problems that can kill you. It's the responsible people that moderate and properly cycle their ding dong intake that will suffer because of the few who engage in out of control ding dong abuse.

absolutely, makes it hard to say though, because heart disease and strokes are common ways of dying. Lower your HDL to near zero for 15-20 years straight and elevate your BP for the same time and you have a 35-50 year old bodybuilder with the insides of a 70-85 year old.
So far, I only see one as having been stated to have died from aas use. Most likely though it was extreme dehydration. Lasix was big back then. Paul Dillet almost met the same fate. If I remember, the cause of death for Munzer was never definitively stated. I could be wrong though.
I agree, from what I read and know, I think HDL, BP, Liver and kidney is the most common health problems caused by long term steroid use/abuse..
If you ask our govt, they will most likely say there's a pile of bodies somewhere....but I've yet to see it.
My personal opinion is test replacement or use in moderation is just like a woman's need for hormone replacement. Why we demonize the hormone that makes a man a man is beyond me-
I think the actual ingredient wouldn't have the ability to kill, but maybe the method of administering...say a moron shot an air bubble into a vein. something stupid like that. No, testosterone does not kill.

When my husband got congestive heart failure, and then a heart transplant, the cardiologists and transplant team all said it was not from his fairly heavy steroid use, and it was probably from a virus. We debated about whether they were just saying that to make him feel better, but I don't think they would lie about that. They did try to discourage him from further use though.
However. there are some medical research studies done about how testosterone can actually be really beneficial for (male) patients with heart failure. We were considering that route if he hadn't had to have the heart transplant.

no one knows whats a normal range for testosterone.. its too individually based. if you are too low or too high you will have problems either way.
high testosterone will raise your bp, I don't think anyone can debate that fact. high bp overtime will wear down your heart. but lets remember the OP did not say testosterone, he said steroid. I guarantee you if you run tren for long periods of time it will bite you in the ass eventually. there is no way it cannot screw up your liver.. i've been on for 2 weeks and wake up every morning de-hydrated, sweaty and with yellow pee. cant imagine someone running it for 2 months or 2 years and not seriously screwing themselves up
