I will expand on a couple of your points now.
2). I am the physician in residence on this Board, and part of my responsibilities here is to make sure that only the best advice is put out. Granted, this is limited by it being the best advice I can give TODAY--meaning as my experience and expertise grows, so will the value of my advice. What i have to fighrt against are all the so-called "experts" out there who either have no idea what they are talking about (and I do not know you, so certainly am not putting you in that group) or are simply trying to sell drugs (like the infamous Nelson Montana does). I have had several experiences where guys say, for instance, "the usual strating dose for TRT should never be less than 300mg per wek". Not onlky is this three times what it should be, but it also causes all kinds of trouble for anyone who may foillow that lame advice. That is why i must remain the authority here, and Moderate what is posted--in order to protect the health and well-being of the members, which is what this Forum is about.
There are other issues, i.e. the best time of the day to administer GH, where opinions vary considerably. In that case, we just do not really know yet for sure, so there is valid ongoing debate. In such a circumstance, I can only tell what I do, but readily admit there are other ways, as well.
3). When I wrote that, I had just finished responding to a guy who had contacted me thorugh my practice's addy. He felt that since I publish medical advice here and my other HRT Forums to try to help everyone, that I somehow owed him a free personalized medical evaluation. When I told him I could not do that, and if I did I would be doing it all day, every day for others, he got really crappy and insulting to me. This happens about once every other week. You can see how this guy here sounded like that. As I was sitting there on my Saturday night, falling down tired, squinting at the screen through blood-shot eyes (which were partly induced by the Valentine's Day festivities earlier, LOL) still trying to answer a few questions here, harleyman's response really rubbed me the wrong way. I do think sometimes people forget that even though I am hanging out with the Bro's, I am still a practicing Attending Physican, with all the stresses and responsibilities of same. Fortunately, situations like this are the vast exception, so I do not have to show my ass too often. By and large, my work across the four HRT Forums I Moderate are a valued source of relaxation for me, and I always look forward to getting online and hanging out when I can.
4). Yes, I can be a feisty one. If you think that was bad, you would not want to be around when I find out some other doctor has told one of my patients "If you take testosteorne, you will get cancer"! The carnage can be horrific.
