My Cool Doctor and Liver Toxic Orals!!!!!
I went to my doctor today for colonoscopy results (and anyone that sais they dont hurt is lying). So I asked, off the record how bad are oral steroids on the liver. His name is Dr. Barbell by the way, that is the God to honest truth, anyway, he said you would have to take them non-stop for about 5 years to really do significant damage to your liver, or over a period of 10-20 years depending on the frequency.
He explained the reason they elevate liver values is they are designed to survive the first pass through the liver, therefore they are toxic to it.
On the downside he said your liver goes back to normal after you stop the orals, however when you begin taking them again it almost immediately goes back to the level it was when you stopped the last cycle.
He recommended I stay away from HGH and IGF-1, not because of the drugs themself but because he knows I suffer from tendonitis and had carpel tunnel about 4 years ago.
