Wow, that had to be a scare. That probably led to a change in your LH maybe?

Thank goodness it was benign.

That half a pill - is that LH or what? or it controlled tumor growth?

Or FSH?

.....

Here we go:


I might've seen this guy at the Hulk last year, lol!

HFCS...it is a low dose of a drug called cabergoline...it just shrinks the tumor. .5mg...twice a week. The tumor produces a chemical they can pick up in blood tests if they are looking for that. They know it is working because the good levels that we want increase and the bad sh#t decreases. The tumor will never go away so I am on this stuff for ever. I understand this is a common problem that is often missed.

edit...having fun now HFCS...you meant "Thank God it was Benign"

Watch more p0rn, brah. It's like a feedback loop. More p0rn, more jackin, body makes more T, which leads to even more p0rn, more T, more jackin' and so on and so forth.

Royal Jelly, Pleurotus eyngii (King Oyster mushroom), and others have shown increased T production in animal populations. The King oyster study was pretty interesting:

"Each gram of spent mushroom substrate contained 199.2 mg beta-glucans. The researchers gave their wapitis food containing 0, 15 or 20 percent spent mushroom substrate for a period of 80 days.

The wapitis that had received 15 percent mushroom substrate had a sixty percent higher monocyte concentration [MO] than the 0 percent group. Monocytes are white blood cells. They are the immune cells in the innate immune system, the ones that provide the first line of defence to infections or when healthy cells mutate into cancer cells.

In the same group the concentration of haemoglobin [Hb] was 13 percent higher than in the 0 percent group.

The researchers were particularly surprised by the changes in levels of a number of anabolic hormones in the animals used in the experiment. In the 15 percent group the levels of growth hormone, IGF-1 and testosterone were respectively 28, 30 and 400 percent higher than the levels in the 0 percent group.

Testosterone replacement therapy does have its share of side effects, so if you wish to have it done, talk to your doc about its benefits and risks. Your diet can play an important role in increasing those declining testosterone levels. Eat a high-protein diet, and make sure you include foods fortified with zinc and vitamins, especially vitamin D. Keep your weight in check. Weight gain leads to dwindling levels of testosterone! Have you heard of Ageless Male? It's a safe and natural testosterone boosting supplement that enhances libido and energy metabolism. Don’t take my word for it though – do your own research and read up on Ageless Male reviews to see if it's the right product for you! Keep away the stress, fill up on the right kinds of fat and protein, and work out – all healthy and natural ways to boost those falling T levels!

you mean the guy who is in almost perfect physical condition, who is a monster athlete at an age when only a few hundred years ago was the oldest you would normally live to see?

A note of caution: An outstanding review of OTC nutritional supplements found that around 20% sold in the US contained Anabolic Steroids.

OMG! That's so horrifying!

Do you know which ones it was? So, um, I can avoid them?

Be careful where you get your blood work done. It could cost you $15 or $1000 depending on what lab you go to. Know the system, including the ins and outs of your insurance and who they contract with. It's crazy out there and the devil might be lurking in the details!

Yes, I learned this the hard way a couple of months ago. Then again, I'd rather miss the devil in a detail in this venue than while rapping or such.

It is the scourge of many a middle-aged climber...

he starts getting soft, seeking out lower grades both in the gym and in the mountains and somehow just doesn’t have the sending desire of his younger years. :(

The culprit is testosterone. Right? Or is it?

When was the last time you had your, uh, blood estrogens checked?
