[QUOTE="DS3, post: 242486, member: 18514"] What you are seeking is a precise and predictable answer, for which there is none. Genetic variations is a catch all phrase for responses to medications because it aptly explains at a high level why people respond differently; there is no alternative explanation that is more encompassing and valid. Longitudinal research can show us, on average, how people respond to a medication, but it will not necessarily show us a comprehensive list of underlying genetic variables at play producing the outcome, nor will it tell us how we will individually respond. When considering mass data (enough people tested over long periods of time), this statement is true because results are averaged over and again until individual variation is essentially rooted out. This allows us, in research, to create normalized outcomes that we leverage to predict future outcomes. In medicine, mass data gives us the false impression that we will all respond within the norms of research findings. Individual variation is not the focus of most research, but rather the average response across groups of people. This is an interesting point of view. Point me to 5 individuals who take the exact same TRT dose and experience the exact same subjective and objective responses. I’ll wait. There’s also 42,000 members of this forum, most of whom do not fall into the normal response group. [/QUOTE]
