The Wild West of Online Testosterone Prescribing

Online 'low T' clinics thrived during the pandemic, but changing rules could bring them down

Great article, with one exception, they are still fixated on the Total T which doesn’t defined testosterone deficiency. That Urologist had low normal Free T at 10 pg/mL (8.7 - 25 pg/mL) not to mention the Direct Free T method was clearly used.

All of this weakens this particular case.

These medical societies are years behind the medical science.

Oh well another article that will confuse men about the units, ref range, and measurement of FT. Note the assay used for FT measurement in this article (hint you can tell by absolute values and ratio of FT/TT from values cited).

At least the FEDs are now apparently paralyzed with the rise of trans movement. That is pretty satisfying after everything that has transpired.

Following the prevailing logic nowadays, anyone can identify as "having low testosterone" and demand TRT, regardless of their test results. Also, demand to be called "macho man" LOL

Enjoy Joe. What poetic justice.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals."
