Ah, I see your point there.
Though, what I am thinking is, he may be able to restart his HPTA by visiting a specialist, but he more than likely has head issues from being out of commission for four years.
It's more likely that he does, than doesnt. From an overall health standpoint, HPTA restart is more important. But the mental aspect is not to put off as secondary and ignored.
I agree, though...adding more testosterone in order to restart the hpta makes no sense.
"If he's low in test, a test cycle could heal him temporary. then start a proper PCT and maybe he'll be fine."
This is not saying adding test will fix his hpta. this is saying it could cure his symptoms of low T for a while, and then afterwards possibly fix the issue with PCT.
"I'd do a test only cycle, 500mg /EW for 8 weeks + proviron and some AI. you should get your libido back if its test you're missing.
When your libido is through the roof, you'll be psycologically healed, I'd take HCG during cycle, and then after cycle another week HCG, then standard PCT only nolva, without clomid.
Many will tell you to do PCT only, but many guys,even if they get their test back to normal, they're psycologically down, and erecction problems are caused by your head."
This doesn't say or imply that using test will fix his hpta.
I don't get where you got the idea that he's claiming that adding exogenous test will fix his hpta. He's not saying that at all.
He's offering an approach that covers both HPTA recovery AND mental recovery.
The OP is the one who was making the connection between hcg / igf-1 restarting HPTA.
|Fix mental issues|--->|Fix HPTA|----> =Possible Full recovery.
|Fix HPTA only|-----> Possible recovery, probable partial-recovery.
