What's your interpretation of the flaws from what you gleaned in the studies? Maybe you see something I fail to.

How am I making an error?

Bottom line is that TRT at any level a risk to men with clotting issues, period. Instead of wasting time discrediting the research, why not find focus on finding a SOLUTION for us. No one with any sense should be doing T without a doc's advice to start with.

In looking again at Glueck's papers, I need to clarify the following since it appears you have misinterpreted the results: Read the chart on p3 of the "Testosterone, Thrombophilia, and Thrombosis" paper. The IM doses were: 150mg/every 2 weeks 200mg/week 250mg/every 2 weeks These are TRT...

Yeah, I do see your point - why aren't the thousands of men that have been on TRT for what, at least a year, dropping dead from DVT-PEs? It makes the results as suspect as the now-debunked research that claims TRT induces MIs and strokes. Dose dependency. Regular E2 management. And perhaps, like...

Sorry, I couldn't understand why the links didn't automatically hyperlink like they usually do. I tried again and they won't hyperlink. Believe me, I've been wanting to find a way to use TRT safely for the last year, and because of my pre-ex history and elevated clot risk factors, this research...

Not to be an ass, but if you read the links in my post, you would find your answers.

That's what I'd like to know!

There are those of us that cannot function without TRT and that have familial (genetic) and/or acquired thrombophilia (risk of clotting). I'm in this boat - had two idiopathic (unknown origin) thrombotic events but need to start TRT. I was not on TRT at the time. Currently not on any...

Speaking of food that increases fat storage, as I sit beside my glucose meter, lol, I can say with confidence that I have no problem keeping my carbs low. I am gluten and grain-free with the very occasional bite of wild rice or quinoa. Today I had some rolled oats, a no-no on the paleo diet, but...

Berberine is probably more effective than niacin anyway. But if I was going to use a med, it would be metformin (glucophage). It's getting a lot of attention these days for many metabolic problems other that diabetes. I am one of the few that have had the discipline to stick to a VLC paleo diet...

My last prolactin level was 12.3. If it increases from deca, we can look at some cabergoline. Yes, I know the warning about deca dick, but doesn't that only occur when using deca alone without test?

That is the last drug I would ever take. They are the worst over-prescribed meds on the market. There's no reason to be on statins. I even took my parents off them because they cause more problems than they help. Can all be controlled via diet. The only candidates to consider statins are those...

Yes, have had this test many times. I have been trying to lower mine forever. Last level was 1.51. Another good thing about T is that it lowers inflammation.

Not only want to feel better, but to lose this excess bf! I need to drop it by more than half and like I said, nothing diet or training-wise has worked that I've attempted. I don't want to reduce cals too much more nor protein intake. I already eat very low carb and train fasted. Do you...
