Testosterone / Estrogen in men.

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

This is only worth while watching if you are really interested in HRT . This guy knows his stuff and goes to prove that most doctors know diddly shit about
hormones and HRT.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I'll place my bets that you did not watch the whole 49 minuets of that video. Anyone that does will know he is right.

The truth is, drug companies, and people employed by drug companies, promote whatever makes money for drug companies.

Good health comes from natural things, such as a good diet and exercise.

While there are some people with medical conditions which require treatment, healthy people are better off not taking any drugs.

It is a money making tactic, when drug companies suggest people without medical conditions should take drugs for prevention. They can make a lot of money by getting people to believe they need their product.

I’m not saying he’s a wu peddler but his education is in family practice and emergency medical treatment where he worked in those areas for 30 years.

When all of a sudden he jump on this bandwagon in the early 90s.

andriol testocaps or testogel at pharmacie de la gare
you really need to see an endocrinologist for a full blood workup and get a brain mri to be sure you do not have any tumors on or near your pituitary.
if you have prostate trouble you cant take it.
you should only take it if truly hypogonadic.
many men are after age 55 esp if sedentary/obese
it is the cause of belly fat and man boobs
often starts at age 45 for desk and cubicle dwellers
dont play around with it unless you do the above, also it causes your testicles to atrophy if not careful and may shrink your dick too.
once you start supplementing your system stops making it.
LOL

mostly exercise will fix these problems for most ppl

if you are in fact hypogonadic- it makes you feel like age 30 again.

I do know someone who used to do this and steroid injections 9illegal at the time) for gym freaks in europe. Apparently there are many different types of testosterone and if you use the wrong one it wount work, but when it does work you get old men running around like spring chickens, stress out their heart and drop dead. What a way to go!
