Book Reviews of The Testosterone Syndrome: The Critical Factor for Energy, Health, and Sexuality--Reversing the Male Menopause
Book Review: Published in 1998, still my best reference
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read a few books on testosterone replacement and listened to few "experts". But till date (May 2009), this book remains my primary reference. Let me explain:
* As men grow older, their testosterone level drops down (as sure as their hair would turn grey)
* When testosterone level drops, body muscles start atrophying (that includes the heart muscle, which happens to have the largest density of testosterone receptors)
* Other side effects may include loss of libido, loss of mood, insulin resistance (relationship is yet to be established), etc.
* But supplementing testosterone has always been very tricky. Some programs are toxic to liver. There is a lingering fear that THRT can make BHP worse. Larger dosage can make one very irritable. THRT in general can make the testicles shrink and reduce the ejaculatory volume.
When dealing with a subject that is delicate as testosterone replacement is, you will be very surprised to know how many physicians know very little on the subject; and, this is a terrifying thought, how many of them have got it the exact wrong way.
To start testosterone replacement therapy, I think it is absolutely important that (a) you have a knowledgeable doctor and (b) you have a way to verify that he is not doing the wrong thing.
This book will help you to make sure that the treatment you are getting is in line (and please remember not to become a pain in your doctor's butt). I am yet to find one instance where this book had been off the mark.
