MALE HORMONES

OVER-THE-COUNTER-SOLUTION

Enter subhead content here

WHAT I CONSIDER THE OPTIMAL SOLUTION—8/04

1). Purchase bulk proto hormones over the web.

2). 1-Testosterone appears based on claims to be the best.

3). Mix two others in (for they claim that a mixture is best). I use 50% 1-testosterone, 25% 4-androstenediol, & 25% 19-nor-androstenedione.

4). Mix the combination into a hand lotion, Revlon Aquamarine.

WHAT I CONSIDER DON’T WORK

1). Don’t purchase DHEA or androstenedione. (Medical research indicates that it doesn’t get converted to TTT, but unfortunately there is no information on the several available related configurations). If you know the answers, email me at *@skeptical.org.

2). Taking the preparations orally.

3). Using a spray where the vehicle is isopropyl alcohol—or other light alcohol such as ethyl alcohol. I have tested my combination preparation and found that there is little (taste test 6 hours later) absorption.

4). Doesn’t dissolve preparation in Mineral oil or Noxema skin cream.

EXPENSES

1). Scale accurate to 1/10th of a gram, $100

2). Bulk protohormones ($3-4/gm.), $150

3). Revlon Aquamarine $2

OBSERVATIONS

1). Dramatically increased libido.

2). Dramatically increased pleasurable tactile stimulation of penis.

3). Frequent erections while sleeping.

4). Increased physical stamina. After 10 days on supplement, for example a 40-mile vigorous bike ride didn’t exhaust me. After about 2 hours of eating and resting after ride, I was again energetic. Moreover, I hadn’t rode with such intensity in 5 years.

OTC VS MED ESTABLISHMENT

IF YOU WONDER WHY THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY IS SLOW TO EMBRASE TESTOSTERONE THERAPY FOR MEN ABOVE THE AGE OF 50, THE ANSWER IS ESSENTIALLY FINANCIAL. HEALTH INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER THE COSTS UNLESS THE LEVEL IS WELL BELOW THE NORM FOR THE AGE GROUP—WHICH IS QUITE INFREQUENT. SUCH THERAPY WITH ITS TESTOSTERONE MONITORING, DOCTORS VISITS, AND OVERPRICED PRESCRIPTION DRUGS WOULD RUN AROUND $5,000 PER YEAR. THIS IS MORE THAN THE MONTHLY PAYMENT. IF HRT BECAME AS POPULAR FOR MEN AS WOMEN, THEN PREMIUMS FOR THE 50-YEAR PLUS GROUP WOULD GO THROUGH THE CEILING.

THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT DISSERVICE FOR MEN. THE BENEFITS ARE AS DRAMATIC FOR MEN AS WOMEN—HEALTH AND LIBDO. FORTUNATELY THERE IS AN ECONOMIC SOLUTION. ANALOGUES OF TTT ARE SOLD OVER THE COUNTER IF THEY ARE FOUND IN TRACE AMOUNTS NATURALLY IN THE BODY—AND A LARGE NUMBER ARE. (UNFORTUNATELY TESTOSTERONE IS A PRESCRIPTION DRUG—THUS PERMITING PRICE GOUGING). THESE ANALOGUES ARE CONVERTED TO TESTOSTERONE IN THE BODY—SOME EFFICIENT, OTHER NOT SO. THESE ANALOGUES MAY BE PURCHASED IN BULK FOR UNDER $4/GRAM, OR ABOUT 3 TIMES THAT PRICE IN PREPARATIONS.

BEING SOLD OVER THE COUNTER CREATES ITS OWN PROBLEMS:

1). The major drug companies (and as a consequence also the NIH) are not interested in researching those OTC drugs. Thus there is a dearth of reliable studies.

2). There is minimal regulations on the market and thus claims made for these TTT analogues (called proto-hormones by the purveyors of them).

3). An information problem: claims concerning these proto-hormones are often unreliable--and how is one to know which are reliable?

4). Sorting out what one should do--if one is by temperament and background capable--should take about 40 hours. Few people make this effort.

5). The common solution is to follow the herd; namely, talk to those who have used the OTC products or ask a clerk.

6). The result is that very few come close to the optimal solution.

7). Obvious some of the things work, there are muscle-bound proofs in the local gym.
