[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 276719, member: 38109"] Glad you mentioned this example. I would bet money that raising fT3 over the long haul reduces life expectancy. Maybe it's worth it, but don't you think informed consent is essential? I don't see enough of this latter, which applies to high testosterone too. The doctors promoting excess blithely claim no risk when they actually do not know. How do you know life expectancy is not reduced? Without a careful accounting who is going to notice a few years reduction in average longevity of the cohort? Nobody, which leads to empty assertions that there is none. That's what studies are about. It's hardly an obsession to demand rigorous scientific support for such hypotheses. You seem to be calling studies flawed without even reading them. Why not get specific and identify the studies and flaws so we can discuss them? There are some TRT-related hypotheses for the "something else" that are mentioned above: unnatural variation in serum testosterone or disruption of other hormones. In any case, yours is a typical misrepresentation of my position. The vehemence is directed against starting new patients at high levels and then mishandling the symptoms of excess that often result. By the way, define "moderately higher". Is 50% above top-end natural production moderate? 100%? [/QUOTE]
