[QUOTE="onetwonine, post: 271766, member: 46169"] It's up to him. I'm just offering my opinion. He could try lower SHBG naturally. It's what I would do if i had a 900 TT. I don't think 63% positive is a glowing endorsement for TRT. I don't have access to the full text of that study. But from the bits and pieces that are available: I would point to the fact it seems to be limited to patients of a clinic that are currently recieving treatment, I can't see any mentions of treatment drop outs. (surely this skews the results positive - why would you be on treatment if you didnt see some sort of benefit) It makes no mention of pre treatment levels (how many started with a TT of 900) It is of limited scope in terms of time (6 months - I have had had many months where i felt incredible that were not sustainable) Whatever the case. I'm just pointing out to OP that trt is not always the fix and that there are risks. Especially to EQ and libido - and that he has to go no further than read these forums which are inundated with people are dealing with negative outcomes for both. Its not that easy to stop once you've been on for a while (the 37% who are unhappy with trt but still at the clinic being case in point). I'm in the middle of trying and its tough. Took me years to even start getting off. Spent a lot of time trying to nail down the perfect protocol that was the answer to all my issues. Many gurus online and off gave me one thing to change or another saying that it would work. It never happened. My experience has lead me to have a negative bias on TRT. Maybe it is his silver bullet idk. There were certainly moments of sunshine for me. End of the day- Not a desicion I can make for him. Just urging caution. [/QUOTE]
