Steroids are just like HEROIN........

[GymIntensity]

Listen to this bullshit. Tonight I go over to my girl's house, and after the Orange bowl, I am flipping through the channels on tv. Well I put it on "True Life: I'm on Steroids" just to see what kind of bullshit they can come up with. Well my girl's dad is laid up on the couch and starts in this bullshit about how steroids can kill you, and they are just like putting heroin in your body. At this point I began to get thoroughly pissed off but tried to keep my temper down and kept telling myself "ok dont do it, its not even worth it, hes just uneducated like the rest of the people". He follows up with telling me he's done research, and steroids can cause impotence and risk having deformed children. This is where I really started getting angry and had to defend it by saying there is absolutely no scientific proof that babies can be deformed from the use of steroids (use by males anyways). he also said he knows a guy whos lungs were being destroyed and filling up with blood, and the doctors gave him steroids that settled in his hips that caused him to have to get hip replacements. He said once a steroid gets in your body,it never leaves and settles in different parts of your body such as bones, organs, and what not. Man this shit fuckin pisses me off so much. Not really a point to this thread but I had to put this out. It's sickening how MTV and other media bullshit puts out AAS use and people that are uneducated think they fuckin know everything.

Damn boy...you shoulda pimp slapped his ass across the face. You know...back handed style cuz his bullshit isn't worthy of your meaty palms. I know I always feel better after honoring stupid ass bullshit with a pimp slap to finish it all off. Just my 2 cents.

Steroids can give rise to impotence and oligozoospermia, which can increase the likelyhood of a deformed foetus. If you hit a vein, your body will try to eject the gear via the lungs. Gear does settle in the body: Deca, for example is still detectable 18 months after a cycle and likely persists for years afterwards at sub-detectable levels, especially in a user carrying a higher BF.

A lot of the media anti-gear hype is based on fact. It's just that, as usual, it's blown up to become sensational to make either a point or a story. As users, we do take a risk every time we run a cycle and we research to try to minimize the risk but let's never get blazé about using gear. Just look at the number of threads we get on here every month with the title "Help!" or "Urgent Advice Needed" or similar.

That said, most here know pretty much what they're doing to keep risks to a minimum and the general public knows only what the current crop of politicians cares to tell them for their own agenda.

.

the theory is that oligozoospermia (low sperm count) can lead to the possibility of birth defects because there are fewer sperm competing to fertilize the egg, and thus an increased chance of a sperm carrying a genetic mutation to reach the egg.

There is no AAS related mutation of sperm cells.

So if you think about it, the theory makes no sense except at the extreme lower limit. the percentage of normal vs abnormal sperm should remain the same. the natural selection process wherby healthy sperm will reach the egg first should still function unless the count is so low as to introduce chance vs selection.

and in any event, oligozoospermia is reversable in almost all cases with proper PCT (clomid/hcg/etc) even after long term use.

its a non-issue for the most part imo.

Agreed on all points. Still, with poor information and a lack of research into ancillaries, the issue is large enough to be added to the list of media hype.

I am impressed with Blut Wump and Mavafanculo

You'd be surprised at how receptive the media is to hearing an educated view on steroids. I've consulted with HBO as well as GQ, been on the radio, etc...all talking about anabolic steroids, and giving a pretty accurate assessment about them, and most of the time the people who I've been in contact with have been extremely receptive to what I've had to say.

and the doctors gave him steroids that settled in his hips that caused him to have to get hip replacements. .

Awsome Anthony

I think it is great your being proactive about Steroid Education.....

Hopefully in the future your contributions will undo the fear mongering that has been woven

the HRT arguement seems to reach people easily

I love how all we have to do for social acceptance is to give it a different name. Add the fact you have a valid Rx and all seems to be forgiven.
