Just a little observation on other groups.

[Guest guest]

Believe me that I would want to be the very last person to create any

animosity at all in our group or in any other group on the internet

but I've begun to notice what I consider a very problematic issue with

HRT for men groups. There are many men who come to these forums who

are new to TRT/HRT and have many questions and we, to the best of our

ability, help them with very troubling issues that men face.

I was reading a post yesterday on another forum where a man, new to

TRT, had asked a very simple question about what was better, shots or

gels. The topic got out of hand and the next thing you knew this poor

guy was being told to go to a doc and get GHRH and Sermorelin and some

other IGF-1 enhancer and a whole bunch of arimidex, etc. It was pretty

crazy in my opinion because this man left much more confused than he

already was. I felt sorry for him.

For the record, in my opinion, HRT for men consists of the following:

Optimize T levels

Optimize DHT levels

Control E2 levels and maintain a youthful T to E2 ratio

And to be able to do all the above with the least side effects at all

and ideally no side effects. All returning the man his sex drive and

ability to achieve and maintain erections, stregth, muscle mass and to

stave off diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.

Testosterone IS an anti-aging hormone and it's cheap! The ideas that

some men are getting would cost thousands of dollars a year and are

unproven in the long term. I just think sticking to the basics is best

especially with guys who don't understand and likely don't need any of

the rest.

After reading stuff like I read yesterday it's no wonder some docs

don't even want to prescribe TRT when they know that it can lead right

down the road to rabid anti-aging philosophies that can be dangerous,

expensive, and experimental for the most part.

I'm terribly sorry if I've offended anyone with this post but I'm

tired of everything except Testosterone being part of TRT/HRT!
