how come doctors dont like to prescribe testosterone?

[jagerbombme]

they'll be happy to give you a corticosteroid shot or prescribe you prednisone. Those are the GOOD steroids, not the ones that make you kill your wife.

the only doc I saw here was more than happy to shoot me up weekly.. but we agreed that on a cost basis it would make morse sense to take care of it myself & he would do bloodwork.

what does that mean? does it still build muscle?

Yep… Most docs are very uneducated on the practical and beneficial application of AAS in the “Mature” male. In the US we have “Anti Ageing Clinics” with docs who have no issue prescribing what ever is needed.. Anything of that sort in Canada??

propaganda. a lot of time and money has been put into creating the image that steroids are evil. Doctors are just as swayed by such propaganda.

That's not the whole story. They are afraid of prostate cancer. If a person has undiagnosed prostate cancer testosterone supplementation will cause a slow growing undetectable cancer to be a fast growing metastasizing cancer.

The first rule of medicine, Do no harm.

Exactly.

They are also concerned about losing their license, being prosecuted with the possibility of jail and fines, and being sued.

If you are thinking about HRT and want to be more well read, search through the Longevity forum. You can easily create your own program if you want.

wtf is the point of becoming and endocrinologist if you're still going to be uneducated.

I like what this guy says:

The essential full work-up before any man starts on testosterone treatment is designed specifically to exclude prostate problems. This on-going screening means that the patient on testosterone knows that he does not have prostate cancer.

i am on the verge of 30 and my doc wanted to do the full body scan for gh and bloodwork for test now. he said whenever i am ready he will work with me but will not do anything if the body scan shows any "hot spots" and if my bloodwork is ok. the minute those things show i can use assistance he is on board.

i think some of you guys need to look for better doctors who have open minds and are educated on the hrt topic.
