Testosterone and the FDA *****

No bueno. They are only stating their "expert" opinion and possibly changing the verbiage regarding T. With all the variables in the "need for T" equation, I don't think they would be able to restrict testosterone use for certain individuals not meeting their new criteria, whatever that might be.

also, could you change your avatar kel...your making me look bad lol

More proof that the weak-suits in Washington just view us as a threat. Testimonials on this forum alone make their findings simply laughable...

I doubt much will happen. The people that wield the real power, pharmaceutical companies, stand too lose way to much money if things change so I seriously doubt they will.

Very good point. Also, there is a powerful lobby on the other side of the equation - medical experts worldwide who have already risen up to debunk the horse shite and certainly will do so this time.

Well it's like everything else these officials do, THEY will never have to abide by the laws they impose on us. To them we are just sheep that are too stupid to go through life without their guidance.

The movie "Dallas Buyers Club" in many ways this is the same type of thing. Obviously that was a much worse situation but the same mindset by the same FDA and medical community still exists.

The problem, things like the FDA should be done away with - it's a corrupt part of a corrupt we know better than you government. But then there's another problem - people want things like the FDA because they feel like it protects them, they feel that they need someone to tell them what's safe, what's allowed...they may not admit it but it's been ingrained into their consciousness. Then they'll cry and moan when it affects them but the idea of really changing it, actually changing it, even though people have the power to do so, don't. It's sad and more than frustrating.

I feel that the FDA has far more important things on their plate than testosterone possible effects which they have not even studied. There are just as many Drs out there to rebut all the ones that say it's causing harm. Yet things like Autism and the more possible link to immunization aren't being addressed. Autism is reaching epidemic numbers and these morans are worried about possible side effects they aren't even sure about or have studies to back it up. So they are approving other meds things like rheumatoid arthritis that have worse side effects possibly than the RA itself.

The government sucks plain and simple. It's not about what keeps us safe or what's good for us it's about whatever stupid agenda they want to follow.
