great debate - intelligent and mature.

just want to add that there have been studies that do show that prolonged use of HCG results in testicular desensitization. however, dosage levels are in the range of 5000iu per wk or more. this have been documented in the Dr. Shippen HCG protocol and is available on the net.

here's an excerpt..

"Unfortunately, the vast majority of doctors are woefully ignorant about
the proper dosage for HCG. In fact, the AACE clinical guidelines call
for HCG dosages of 1000 to 2000 IU, two or three times a week.
Scientific studies have demonstrated that HCG dosage levels of about
5,000 IU per week or more administered long-term cause permanent damage
to the testicles (see Medline articles 6210708 and 3583230). These
studies have shown that such excessive HCG dosages taken long-term
result in testicular desensitization (to future stimulation by LH or
HCG). In other words, long-term, such excessive dosages of HCG will
result in primary hypogonadism!"
