[QUOTE="granger, post: 277380, member: 45577"] Can you share the data that "ALMOST ALL" is guys over 40+? esp over past 10 years would be great to see. THANKS! Thanks big tex I think everyone is on the same page and we all should be concerned about the rise of such bad clinics/pill mills.. found a paper that those nurse PE clinics have seen the largest rise in RX for testosterone (up until 2019 anyway and im sure only exploded 2021 on). lets just say my point is TRT pill mills are far less than 0, and are growing at fairly obviously at a decent clip. yes houston is where all the compounding conferences are as bleeding edge of healthcare, no doubt! One thing, that really raised my eyebrows is the owner of the inflamous "ways to well" now i know they arent a TRT clinic specifically, but the guy who owns it, "as we age we need to supplement peptides as they are just aminos".. wooooh now buddy. now i get he is not a DR. but he basically was saying he overcharged insurance companies to get "what he deserved" and wonders why they sue him... and also about peptides thats a pretty blanketed statement that everyone needs to inject peptides as deficient. not every old person needs insulin peptide, or ozempic, or HGH... just too much a slick talker and that type of "clinic" all though im sure many people feel better which is wondereful, may not have health at top of there list, rather hauk gear to anyone who will buy into the sales pitch. but again, he was not a DR, but generally when the owner has a philosophy a good # of the Drs tend to lean in a direction to do what makes the clinic the most money. Some of the best most ethical Drs will do nothing, took me a long time to learn that. I remember one time i was 20 something in UNI, ive always had bad sleep and often will become a cycle that gets worse.. I went to the DR was like man i cant sleep i cant function I do cardio 3 times a week and walk like over an hour each day, so he said do more... never gave me anything, but looking back, i prob was hung over, drank basically every other day so no wonder i couldn't sleep and he had no way to know if i REALLY had sleep issues or was just stressed from school and partying or if I was just drug seaking 20yo. Its not like i was doing shift work at the mine and my schedule is mor likely to be messed up. anyway, I dont lump him as a bad dr as i used to. also in my 20s i was having arythmias presenting as a heart attack severe chest pain left arm pain, waking me up, went to ER they said no will take too long here go to walk in, went to walk in took an XRay, said no ur chest is clear (Which i knew as didnt have a cough etc) BUT i was on antibiotics, that just happen to give arrhythmias also possible it was a carditis from a viral infection they gave me antibiotics for who knows. anyway, i stopped antibiotics after i read about rare side effect of arrhythmia and like magic the pain went away in 8-12 hours... was pretty annoyed the DR wouldnt of thought of this as he knew i was on antibiotics.. how much damage was done? i don't know. but from then on i knew you have to self advocate spend the time learning, and really press Drs iwth questions [/QUOTE]
