FFM and BP....come on guys. You can do better than this.

The OP is asking a very interesting question. If we could stimulate the Hypothalamus or Pituitary in a safe way to increase Testosterone, it sounds to me like the way to go. So let´s discuss it.

Why is it retarded?

Does HRT clinics use this approach?
I have no idea. But I know that HRT clinics is not in the business of helping people, they are in the business of making money. And if restoring testosterone could be as easy as admin Toremifene, I am sure they would like to look the other way, and continue to admin their elaborate cocktail of meds.

I can google side effects of any over-the-counter med. and come up with a pretty scary list, so that means nothing.

BP, your list of side effects are true, but at what doses and length?
Did 1 out of 500 patients in a test study end up with vision damage (Using 100mg Clomid for 6 months), causing this listed side effect? In that case I´ll take my chances.

Nolva can cause ED due to a reduction of Estradiol. That one I have first hand experience of, so I will avoid Nolva in the future.
