alphatest said:I mean no disrespect but there is a good reason medical studies don't rely on anecdotal evidence. Don't you think it is just a little silly to claim that user feed back on message boards trumps everything else. Especially when the studies in question on are done on real live users.
..........................................
AND THE PEOPLE MENTIONED AREN'T REAL AND LIVING? LOTS OF THINGS WRONG WITH THAT STUDY .
...................................................................
I never claimed it was the greatest. This board seems to hold PP's products in high regard and I am in no way insinuating that clomid is superior. Nelson completely misrepresented the study (HIV status, Duration of treatment) and I just wanted to set the record straight.
..........................................................
GRANTED, I SKIMMED SOME DETAILS AND THAT'S MY ERROR, BUT THE CONCLUSION IS THE SAME. THE TESTS WERE FLAWED FOR THE REASONS MENTIONED. YOU DON'T SEEM TO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.
............................................
Let me ask you this. Why do you think there is such a difference in the experiences of users on this message board, vs those who take clomid in a clinical setting. Remember a drug company is banking 100's of millions of dollars on the idea that clomid can both effectively raise test with minimal negative sides.

YOU JUST ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION. THIS IS A DRUG THAT ISN'T EVEN DESIGNED FOR THIS PURPOSE BUT IF THEY CAN SELL IT AS SUCH, THEY'LL FIND A STUDY THAT SAYS RHOADE ISLAND IS BIGGER THAN ALASKA TO PROVE IT. THERE IS ZERO INVESTMENT IN CLOMID FOR THE PURPOSE OF RESTORING HPTA AND THIS STUDY IS HARDLY A BIG EXPENSE.
.....................................................................
I would not be so quick to discount it, when TAKEN at the proper DOSAGE.
..............................................
THERE IS NONE. ODDLY ENOUGH, AT A LOW DOSAGE CLOMID CAN WORK WORSE, SINCE IT'LL ADD ESTROGEN BUT NOT ENOUGH TO COMPETE FOR RECEPTOR ACCEPTANCE. THE POINT IS, THERE ARE BETTER WAYS. AND CLOMID IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY MISUNDERSTOOD. IF YOU WANT TO GO WITH THE ACCEPTED THINKING YOU SHOULDN'T USE STEROIDS BECAUSE PEOPLE IN THE THE MEDICAL PROFESSION SAY THEY'LL KILL YOU.
