Guest guest Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Hi Jack, Thanks for your testimony. Where do you inject the T and does it hurt? What do I tell my doctor inorder for him to prescribe this Natural T. Thanks, Pamela --- On Thu, 9/24/09, Jack Milliorn <jack.mill wrote: Jack Milliorn <jack.mill << >> Re: Testosterone Replacement Therapy Thursday, September 24, 2009, 4:04 PM I have used testosterone cream for a number of years. I get it from Women's International Pharmacy and it costs about $40 for a two month supply. But it worked for awhile then my T numbers dropped back into the low zone. Now I'm giving myself testosterone shots Three times a week. It's a little more expensive but I can tell it's effective. This is Natural T no something some Big Pharma mixed up in a lab. It's compounded locally. I'm 78 years old. I'll be doing a blood collection within the next 6 weeks so I'll actually be able to quantify that the shots can and do raise my T level. Personally I would like to see some numbers that support use of herbs and what have you thinking that it raises the testosterone level, needless to say I'm skeptical and that comes from a person that has taken handfuls of supplements on a daily basis for the past 30 years.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Jack you are certainly fortunate to patronize such a splendid physician. Many do not have such good fortune. It appears the best therapy is the one you are receiving but it is not always offered. Thanks for you reply. dave - jackmill Friday, September 25, 2009 12:24 AM << >> Re: Testosterone Replacement Therapy The testosterone (T) is carried in a oil base carrier, it's true T not the lab kind. Also, to my dismay there's a preservative the pharmacist said it had to be in there otherwise the T would crystallize. Dr. does not like this either but he said after discussin with the pharmacist agreed on maximum minimization. Initially I had a rash in the area of the injection (the hip) and became concerned that's when I questioned it with doctor and then the pharm. Decided to continue and see if the reaction would abate and apparently it has because I detect no more rash. Other patients have reported similar experiences. If I could truly zero in on some herbs that would raise the T to the required level (1200) I would certainly go in that direction. With that said someone is probably certain to question the 1200 figure because most lab sheets say 700-800 is normal but Dr. says that's incorrect. The present level used as " normal " are based on the average of a large data base using todays averages. The average has been going down for years due to the amount of estrogen in our environment. Doctor uses a figure that was valid 30 years ago which makes a lot of sense to me. I have experienced the 1200 level for a period of time and I'll tell you it's profound. It would be nice if we could zero in on some herbs that do the job. Jack , " Jack Milliorn " <jack.mill wrote: > > I have used testosterone cream for a number of years.
