[QUOTE="Wilson7, post: 226946, member: 39729"] I posted the following reply to a researcher from one of the academic groups I belong to. She asked why monitor an AAS user. "The importance is knowledge. What we know with some degree of certainty is that bodybuilders that polypharmacy (including rec drugs, stimulants, alcohol, etc.) who want to take their level of muscularity to that of a Belgian Blue with very high and prolonged doses of AAS will likely have multi organ issues sooner than later and suffer premature death, most likely from cardiovascular disease (CAD or heart failure). What we don’t know is where and when, and in whom the process begins, and if caught early enough, is it reversible? Moreover, what is the individual total threshold dose that brings about pathologic changes, what drugs and other variables add to the various pathologies, can some of these changes be mitigated with for example and ARB or ACE and avoidance of stimulants and rec drugs or specific AAS. The use of AAS is not going away and for many that want to increase their lean mass beyond their genetic limits, abstinence from AAS is not an option regardless of what the government does or medical community says.
