Hormone deficiency symptoms include a reduced vitality and sex drive, poor general health, memory loss, impaired psychological well-being (anxiety and depression), graying and brittle hair and a loss of skin thickness and tone. - (1*, 2*)

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is necessary only if Testosterone levels are below normal. There are two forms of Testosterone in the human body: The Total (or bound) Testosterone level (TT) and the Free Testosterone (FT). Free Testosterone levels can be detected by simple, painless saliva testing. Over 75% of the Testosterone in saliva is in the FT form. FT drives the normal sex drive in both men and women.

Natural Testosterone can be used safely in large doses by men who are deficient. Normal healthy doses present no health risks to men. Only if the levels of Testosterone metabolites, such as DHT or E2, rise above ideal physiologic range, can problems occur. These include baldness, prostate enlargement, shrinking of testicles, increased acne, and loss of sex drive with moodiness and emotionality. Testosterone USP is a white odorless powder which dissolves in alcohol or organic solvents.

Good question, especially with all the press lately regarding steroids in professional sports. Doing steroids means taking testosterone waaaaay above the top of normal range. This is VERY bad for your health. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), on the other hand, is merely restoring, or optimizing, testosterone levels to healthy range. S tudies have shown that men get healthier (and happier) as they approach the top of normal range. And they tend to stay that way much longer.

Over use, without cycling the supplement can result in an adverse reaction. As extra testosterone will more likely convert to estrogen and unwanted side effects which are associated with gynecomastia {bitch tits} and cardiovascular disease.

Hormone replacement therapy, commonly known as HRT, is the standard pharmaceutical treatment for menopausal symptoms. It is usually made up of two kinds of hormones — oestrogens and progestin (a synthetic form of progesterone). Levels of these hormones fall after menopause, and hormone replacement therapy helps relieve symptoms and has some long-term health benefits, such as osteoporosis prevention.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is replacing hormones–usually estrogen and progesterone–which a woman’s body once made in sufficient amounts, but because of age or medical reasons, is no longer able to produce. Replacing these hormones back to physiological levels can restore normal hormonal cycles. By doing this, women will not only begin to feel younger and more vivacious, but will also reduce their risks of cardiovascular problems and osteroporosis.

Many women now taking estrogen or estrogen combined with progestins are able to discontinue their HRT. Please consult with a medical professional before doing so. It is possible that if adequate natural progesterone levels were present, any needed estrogen could be made from it. Because progesterone sensitizes estrogen receptors, it makes sense to supplement with progesterone rather than estrogen.

About 5% of the time, neural therapy injections may provoke an increase in pain for a day or so. This usually means that the injection was not in the correct spot; however, a painful reaction typically indicates that the interference field is nearby.

Skin Burning. Serious burns from either UVA or sunlight (even through a window glass) can result if the recommended dosage of the drug and/or exposure schedules are exceeded.3,9 Nausea. Nausea may occur after taking the Oxsoralen-Ultra® (Methoxsalen Capsules, USP, 10mg) capsules. This may be avoided or lessened by taking the medication with milk or low-fat food.3,9 Itching. Itching commonly occurs as a result of light treatment. Numerous ointments are available to soothe mild itching.

Interestingly, the negative effects of too much Testosterone include increased snoring, baldness and loss of sex drive, all symptoms similar to those which occur when there is too little Testosterone. Additional negative effects of supranormal Testosterone include acne, increased aggression and risk-taking behaviors, rapid weight gain, and thickening of the blood due to too much iron pigment or hemoglobin (Hgb).

Some forms of testosterone replacement such as injections of long acting synthetic testosterone derivatives will virtually stop an individual's own testosterone production at the same time causing severe testicular atrophy that, after as short a time as six months, is only partially reversible. However, daily cream administration of testosterone will cause only partial suppression of the testicular production, which is reversible on cessation of treatment.

Estrogen and progesterone (two of the hormones used in some forms of HRT) may increase a woman's risk for developing breast cancer. Patients should be aware that these hormones affect many tissues in the body and therefore before a patient considers HRT, it is prudent to discuss all the risks, benefits, and limitations of pursuing HRT with a medical doctor.

Answer:Yes, in most cases. Of course, Dr. Hanson will have to evaluate the individual to determine whether Decompression Therapy is right for them.

Hormone Replacement Therapy can be a lifetime commitment. Most studies have been done involving a minimum of six months therapy. Many have been and are conducted over longer periods of time. Benefits gained from HRT will gradually diminish if the therapy program is not continued. Many individuals on HRT obtain excellent results with a rotating or cyclical protocol of six months on HRT and four to eight weeks off. - (1*, 2*)

The type of radiation used in eye-plaque therapy should not cause hair loss, nausea, brain damage, or affect your other eye. Once the radiation plaque is removed, there will be no radiation left in your body, on your clothing, or on any of your personal belongings. The effects of the radiation delivered to your tumor and eye will continue to be observed for months and years after treatment.

Doctors who have treated patients have not reported any side effects other than pain at the injection site. There could be other theoretical side effects from your treatment. Your physician will go over any potential side effects with you.

In my experience, the number one side effect of VNS Therapy is voice change, usually mild hoarseness every several minutes when the device turns on. During these 30-second on-periods, the left half of the voice box may not work well due to the small electrical pulses going up the vagus nerve. This side effect usually diminishes over the first year of treatment, though it continues in a minority of patients.
