[QUOTE="ratbag, post: 63294, member: 972"] That video is somewhat misleading because he states that people who train or live in high altitude create more red blood cells and it's useful for training and aerobic status. But what he didn't say is that is the definition of [I]erythrocytosis. Where as polycemia is about too many platelets and the blood gets thick and clots too easily. I've learned that donating blood doesn't really solve the problem because your HCT goes right back to where it was very quickly. Unless of course you lower the amount of testosterone you take. I now look at my platelets and I don't concern myself with my HCT being too high. My platelets are low and my blood is thin so my MD says I'm fine and not to worry over it. BTW. my HCT is 53. I have no shortness of breath and I feel well. However what [/I][COLOR=#333333]Dr. Rouzier states is consistent with my health. His claim is that TRT causes [/COLOR][I]erythrocytosis and NOT polycemia and this poses no problem for TRT users. You have polycemia when your platelets count is too high. Rouzier simply claims that TRT does not induce polycemia (too many platelets). TRT only causes [I]erythrocytosis. In my case this is true. I sense that most TRT users believe that high HCT means that your blood is too thick and that it is polycemia and therefore you must donate blood to fix it. [/I][/I] [/QUOTE]
