Testing labs have no credibility with me. I have no idea who they are using for their sample population and the state of health of same. Those so-called healthy subjects may well be declared healthy, yet they have the same issues we discuss here. For example, I have yet to see that perfectly vital and virile man with the total T of 190ng/dl. | I agree. Jefferies' book is the bible for the use of Cortisol.
