It's unclear to me if the comments made about the Recipe are warranted relative to context the the Recipe was written. The comments are prefaced on observation of hypogonadal male post
AAS. The Recipe refers to post 50 year old males who are showing declines. If FSH is very high, could it not be an indicator of pituitary tumor? Would a damaged pituitary not reflect impaired functionality? There is concurrance between Mike's comments and the Recipe relative to fertility. Are males who are aging and experiencing hypogonadism the same biologically as those coming off
AAS?
Concerning cortisol assay, does it not make sense to get some initial look at the adrenals---and the thyroid for that matter on initial evaluation? We haven't, yet, heard much from Mike on adrenal or thyroid assays of post
AAS males. However, for 50 year-old guys, who have never been on
AAS the tests would seem appropriate. Many of the guys seeking such complain of fatique, interrupted sleep, sometimes labile moods, erratic eating, and sexual dysfunction or libido problems.
So is the conclusion of causing ......harm overstated?
