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.

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*) See similar questions...

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.

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. See similar questions...

The Women's Health Initiative study show that traditional HRT with Premarin (made form pregnant mares urine) and Provera a chemically synthesized artificial progesterone) is not safe. Bio-Identical hormone therapy with natural Estrogens and Progesterone is safe and does not have to adverse side effects of Premarin and Provera. Provera can increase the rate of breast cancer but natural Progesterone can decrease the rate 10% Fournier A et al. See similar questions...

We believe that it can be as dangerous, if not more so, than the cigarettes. We have seen clients who are using patches and chewing nicotine gum, and we've seen quite a few who are also smoking at the same time. Nicotine, although not an addictive substance, is a very powerful poison. Some say that 1 drop of pure nicotine, if it were injected directly into the blood stream, would be enough to kill a person.

No medication can be said to be 100% safe and effective. However, provided certain precautions are taken, like checking that your Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is normal then Testosterone Replacement Therapy is very safe and well tolerated. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Recently, studies have strongly suggested that Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) actually increase the risk of breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, heart disease, strokes and blood clots. Particularly striking is a study that links HRT to increased risk of ovarian cancer. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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

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*) See similar questions...

No. The results of conclusive research prove that hormone replacement therapy is not safe. The use of synthetic estrogen and progestin is linked to increased risks of heart disease, breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer, strokes and blood clots. Women should thoroughly investigate these risks and discuss all concerns with her physician before deciding to use a synthetic hormone replacement therapy. See similar questions...

Yes. It has been extensively studied and tested to meet the strictest of consumer safety standards. It has also been approved by the FDA since 2000. See similar questions...

Yes! Laser hair therapy has been proven safe in over 2,500 scientific and medical papers over thirty years of research. Low level laser devices as tested by an FDA approved testing center has been proven 100% safer and meeting or exceeding all standards for this type of laser. The energy produced by the photons does not have the thermal component to cause thermal injury to either the user or operator. See similar questions...
