It's not so much a difference in methodology as it is that some of these doctors diverge in principle. One doc keeps estradiol within a certain range, regardless of symptoms; another doc doesn't even check it without symptoms. One doc says AIs can be taken on just a temporary basis; another...

Does Morganthaler keep your estradiol within a set range? Is he opposed to using AIs?

By "expert", I am referring to the docs on the Roundtable as well as others like Saya, Morganthaler, Rouzier... It seems like a bit of a crapshoot, really. There are several treatment issues, like the management of hematocrit, and estradiol, etc, on which some of these docs are opposed. They...

How does one define "excess FT levels"?

There are 12 videos. I don't have prostate cancer, but I'm going to watch them all. Really fascinating info, even in the first video. At the end of the article there is this: I cannot overemphasize that this paper should not be brought to your doctor along with a request for a testosterone...

Except for possible weight loss, how would TRT cause one to look older? In what way?

When a man gets prostate cancer, his testosterone is usually brought down to zero before radiation and/or chemo are implemented. Are there any prostate cancer treatments that don't include dropping testosterone levels to zero?

You should bring this up tomorrow on the Roundtable.

Nelson, I don't know exactly what your position is on estradiol management. Can I correctly assume your position is similar to Dr. Ramasamy's? Dr. Nichols? Crisler…? Thanks.

And what does your TRT doctor have to say about this?

What does the doctor say about all of this?

Not sure. Been awhile since I did them. During curls, pain begins when forearm is about 45-degrees from the floor, but goes away by the time they reach 90-degrees.

What's the difference in cost?

I definitely need to incorporate pronated curls, since I don't do any! Thanks for the help everyone.

So, one avoids the offending exercise until the tendon heals. Then, one returns to the same exercises only to have the same problem recur later? How the hell do guys weight train for years, especially when they get older?

I think I'm just in the early stages. Dumbbell curls are the cause, which I have already stopped doing. Any experience with successful treatment?

You'll have to do further research, but there is this: Too Much Sugar Turns Off Gene That Controls Effects Of Sex Steroids

I came across a T-Nation article with Dr. Eric Serrano claiming you could spot reduce fat with licorice cream. So, I did a quick Google search and found this: Glycyrrhetinic acid, the active principle of licorice, can reduce the thickness of subcutaneous thigh fat through topical application. -...

My doctor recommended tactic is to take Vicodin for the first 2-3 days of the initial onslaught, when the body-headache, and respiratory problems are so severe. It will knock out the achiness and allow you to SLEEP well. I've only tried this one time, and it worked better than I would have...

Anyone had either of these two procedures done for degenerative disc pain in the lower back?

Thanks, Vince Carter, for your comment on this. Speaks volumes, I think. So, how does anastrozole work as a temporary fix, does it? Estradiol doesn't creep back up quickly after one goes off the A.I.?

If that really is an "irresponsible dose", that speaks badly of Defy, doesn't it? So many people speak of being in good hands with Defy, then invariably, something crazy like this comes up. Not knocking the clinic, but this isn't the first time I've seen a nutty protocol posted here from them...

I see that most guys new to trt seem to start out on the trifecta of test-hcg-anastrozole, at least the guys starting their protocol with Defy. It strikes me as strange, since several of the more reputable trt docs like Crisler, Kominiarek, Matschke, et al, are pretty much down on A.I.s except...

Where do you apply the cream? Scrotally has a higher rate of absorption.

From the clinic concerning which labs are covered: Hi Jim, The Just Right 4 You program is focused primarily on hormones. Here is a list of the labs: DHEA-Sulfate Progesterone FSH & LH Estradiol (E2) Testosterone, Bioavailable 00160 Testosterone, Total 00169 Testosterone, Free 00168 Sex...

I just sent them an email concerning the labs. Also, I want to know how my local Labcorp draws my lab work, and then bills the clinic. Maybe I'm just not understanding something here.

Yeah, it's not very clear. It does state that hormones are an "additional cost". And then, "ongoing management of three hormones prescriptions". Could mean anything. It sounds like they will write up to three hormone prescriptions without charging you for the actual prescription, which some...

I've been contacting a few TRT clinics, and am learning that some charge either a monthly or annual fee just to be their patient. Do these fees seem reasonable? Just Right 4 You Hormone Optimization Program Includes: Physician consultation with initial blood draw, DXA Scan with first...

Gene Devine referred to these "dangers" in another post, but I can't find a link. A search turned up nothing. Any help?

I'm not finding the link for The Dangers of Cialis. Help?
