[QUOTE=Scorchin;1472441]No disrespect but I prefer to read extracts from medical journals and the writings of experts in any medical subjects rather than get the information from non-medical people who may or may not pass on the information accurately. I also have an innate suspicion of people working in the pharmaceutical industry and prefer that provided by pharmacists who have no commercial interests.[/QUOTE]Very good points.
In fact I have an extensive background in math and science and took the time to become pretty knowledgeable for a layperson on synthetic testosterone. You're suspicions of people with a horse in the race is very wise. I deliberately talked to two friends, one working for a pharmaceutical company that did not manufacture a synthetic testosterone product, the other a biologist who does basic research on the endocrine system. I got blood tests and had consultations with two different doctors who used two different testing labs. In the end I decided to take a pass.
This all started when some guy asked about the difference between sildenafil citrate (Viagra) and testosterone products. I thought this was a topic that may be of interest to some of the guys who read the form so I gave a very brief, factually correct but somewhat flip answer. I appreciate that guys who read this thread are looking for information about gogos, beer bars, night clubs etc. I should have put my reply in the General Reports thread. I take responsibility for this and apologize.
My post stimulated a more extensive discussion than I anticipated, but I think everyone knew what he was talking about, was very good to not expand beyond the limits of his knowledge and repeatedly urged guys to talk to a physician. It is wise to take everything with a grain of salt. However, I think we provided enough specific information so anyone who was interested could do his own research.
One of the things I like about this forum is while I have learned a lot about getting laid in Bangkok, I run across other interesting information, some amusing post and some incredibly stupid posts that give me a good laugh. There are enough opinionated guys on the forum that one will general encounter several conflicting points of view. I think this is very good!
My last post in this topic. Done! Finished!
