I like the simple reading of the article but I do have a couple of issues such as.
First I am not a doctor nor do I hold any degrees that would suggest I am right over the author, so here goes.

First he seems so cautious as to his approach and this kind of troubles me for one reason. Many men are very unhappy in life in general and feel lethargic when they have low test levels, they tend to get flabby, don’t feel good, bad cholesterol (from low levels of testosterone and usually low HDL which is the good cholesterol), loss of libido and possible non erections even with Viagra, bad skin, lower bone density, and a host of other problems.
Generally a man with low test levels and has erectile dysfunction usually has a life expectance of about 20 years.
Women have been prescribed hormone replacement therapy for many years, but with men many take the cautious approach.
This bothers me as men are looking to look and feel better and the endocrinologists drags his feel due to lack of enthusiasm he has for providing a man a prescription for testosterone.
The testosterone he receives is identical to his own; in contrast the progesterone frequently given to menopausal women is derived from equa source of from mare horse’s urine called prempro.
Snip
Premarin (Prempro) received FDA (Federal Drug Administration) approval as a HRT in 1995. However it’s been found that Prempro has dangerous side effects with long term use. Breast cancer and ovarian cancer lawsuits filed across the US are based on the side effects of Prempro.
Hmmmm, kind of crazy when it is a progestin and not even progesterone which would help to keep cancer in check.

Note: there are thousands of women with complications from this product but yet women are prescribed this daily.
Sad how come men are treated so cautious with the very identical hormone that is and has declined.
For a man looking to feel better this is criminal.

Next, his suggestion of testosterone causing prostate cancer is a bit amiss.
First testosterone is very high among you young men, yet prostate cancer is almost never heard of.
Is this an argument no, but the prostate comes from the same embryonic tissue as the uterus.
Uterine cancer has two causes, one is estrogen and the other is tamoxifen.
Another thing, when men age their testosterone declines and their estrogen inclines, would this not sound like something estrogen is responsible for?
I do, and to back this Dr. John Chrisler (Swale on the boards) said in all his years he never saw cancer from giving and prescribing testosterone.

When Dr. Sahelian suggested that the mortality rate of guys that have lower testosterone than base levels have a lower mortality rate he wasn’t convinced that giving a man TRT would increase mortality.
I have a few questions for him.
How about the quality of life?
How about healthy sex that happens to be a need of men?
If testosterone is needed for muscle mass is not the heart a muscle and a rather large one at that?


I will finish this after I go to break.
