You obviously didn't read either link or any references from med journals, doctors, autopsies and the FDA and even the actual drug makers warnings issues to doctors about these drugs.....all of which is in both the links i gave you.
Yeah I do know more than many doctors when it comes to testosterone.
Lets take this very small example of why the system and doctors current methods are flawed.
1. You walk into your doctors you say I think I have low testosterone, you do a blood test you come back low, the doctor then says no problem here is a steroid "injectable testosterone" you are now on HRT.
This is completely flawed and happens in 95% of cases, what should be done and is being done by a very small majority of doctors is a comprehensive blood test looking at all the parameters associated to testosterone production and then rectifying those issues. Here is 1 doctors example of treating people and not having them need to go on HRT:
Reversing HRT or avoiding HRT
-- I am sure you have seen this scattered on the forums many times, guys saying that they had low testosterone and then were put straight on to HRT....even some with levels close to within range and no other methods were tried first.....HRT should be a final option if all else fails.
2. Nolva and Clomid are SERMS they block estrogen in some receptor sites and increase estrogen binding in others.....ever heard that a male can act like a pregnant female when on clomid?? this is the perfect example of over sensitive estrogen receptor sites within the brain. So anyway these drugs block it and increase it in certain sites.....THEY DO NOT REMOVE ESTROGEN FROM THE BODY! the way in which they increase testosterone is by blocking estrogen at the hypothalamus level telling the brain that your body lacks estrogen.....in doing so the brain determines that you require more estrogen since estrogen is needed for all different aspects within the body so it goes about making more estrogen by creating more testosterone which will then convert into estrogen and then you take another pill and the process repeats itself.
ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE because you never removed estrogen from the body you have now gone and created more estrogen in your efforts to make more testosterone, this is why these drugs are linked to liver cancer, fatty liver disease, uterine cancer, ocular problems, testicular cancer and prostate cancer. We all know the damaging effects estrogen has on the body and you just went and made more of it!
The method these SERM's use to increase testosterone is simple, they tricked the brain into thinking it lacked estrogen so it did what any good brain does replaces the lost hormone......and this is exactly why these drugs fall short. There is no need to trick the brain at all.....all you have to do is actually remove a small amount of estrogen and the brain will see this and then it will increase testosterone production....this is basically the same but without tricking it so now you have normal estrogen levels and high testosterone...you take another dose and the process repeats over and over.
So yes SERMS are dangerous they are intended for breast cancer treatment since they block estrogen within the breast receptor site...however even in these cases they have been linked to causing other cancers or diseases....you have to remember this treatment is life extension not a cure when it comes to cancer.
Lastly if doctors are prescribing clomid instead of HRT god help us all these drugs have some many health problems....you would be healthier with low testosterone.
