i think they are definitely dangerous if you overuse. i am a perfectly healthy guy who has always had outstanding vitals. i am on a relatively minor (for EF standards) cycle of test/var/eq.

i recently had bloodwork done for a routine checkup where my liver enzymes were above normal, my blood pressure was up, and my cholesterol was up. none of these readings were horrible but enough that the doc said something and recommended doing in three months again to make sure this is an abnormality.

i will be off then so expect normal blood work again. how many guys run outrageous cycles and don't come off though? as satch said, moderation. AAS use definitely has the potential for more serious sides than growing hair on your back. don't kid yourself.

High blood pressure, liver changes, cholesterol changes, heart changes seem to be the most important issues. MPB, gyno, acne, irritability not as big a deal. Stay away from megadoses, unless you want to sell bras with Bonds and Giambi.

i am afraid of increased chance of breast cancer, as it is something both my grandmonthers and my grandfather has had, or have if still alive

Ya know, its been said that millions of high-school age kids had reported using steroids in surveys. Triple that percentage by the time those kids finish college and start into their thirties. Basically, millions and millions have used before. Does the medical establishment see a flux of people suffering these "side effects" of steriods .....no! Serious medical problems are very rare! I don't see the huge number of case reports I would expect if steroids were so horrible.

To say they are without risk is ignorant. There is risk with any drug. In my opinion the risks are greater because you cannot tell your doc and be monitored and you have to buy black market gear.

I'm going to specialize in endocrinology and, depending on the legal aspects, I intend on helping out those who intend to improve their physique with help from anabolics/androgens and also to help combat the negative stereotypes held by the medical community. I mean, what is the difference between a man taking 8 wks of primo/deca and a women getting breast implants? Only public perception and acceptance!

You wouldn't believe how uneducated medical professionals are about anabolics. My endocrinology attending was just telling me the other day that anabolics DO NOT cause an increase in muscle size/strength. He attributes the "minor" gains from the increased aggresiveness and effort in training.

Love your no BS attitude man...god I wish I had a doc with this kind of understanding. It's all good!

Good post mate.. you will make a good Endo! Its amazing how many specialists that have such a bad understanding of steriod use and correct methods of HRT therapy... I belong to a group of guys with hypogonadism on yahoo... and the stories i hear about bad medical advice from Endos is scary... these boys have to do so much research themselves in order to resolve thier problems.... some doctors being unaware of estrogen management and the use of such valuable medications as HCG alongside T therapy etc etc.
Best of luck.

what is "ischemic tolerance?" does that mean ability to sustain work/muscle strength in the absence of sufficient blood/oxygen flow?

Lol at "male pattern boldness"
