Prescribing levels of Testosterone is lower in the UK versus US.

There is just no reason to take SSRIs during pregnancy.  SSRIs increase risk of miscarriage, birth defects, preterm birth, newborn behavior problems, pulmonary hypertension...All women considering pregnancy should removed, yet SSRIs are prescribed as if they are candy.

Systematic review finds very little clinical benefit from Testosterone therapy.  The problem here is one typically made by allopathic medicine.  They look for a benefit in a box.  They look for one therapy to cure all.  Testosterone therapy should be the last thing you prescribe as usually low Testosterone is the effect and early is not the cause.  Clearly, in the right individual, Testosterone therapy can have tremendous positive effects; however, it must accompany nutrition, exercise, inflammation control...  Testosterone is just one piece of a very complex male physiologic puzzle.

men with Testosterone <300 ng/dl with levels after 8 months of therapy achieving +680 ng/dl.

This article tells it all in the conclusion: "Changing our current practice pattern could take many years, but we may one day prescribe cholesterol-raising medications to certain patients". The long term effect of lowering cholesterol MAY stabilize plaques (not reduce), but at the expense of the brain. So, we may all have stable plaques, but we just won't know it because our brains will be fried.

Awesome article discusses the different balance of ER alpha and ER beta and the effects on tissue as it relates to proliferation versus differentiation.  This has clear implications in disease.  Physicians prescribing hormones without a knowledge and understanding of this are only causing potential harm to their clients.

startling statistics on the damage done by prescribed medicine and medical therapies.

So this is what passes as science these days.  The study looked at whether pre-therapy Testosterone evaluation was beneficial in men prescribed Testosterone therapy.  What?!

Mobility is an important part of human life. When an affordable wheelchair becomes necessary, for whatever reason, the circumstances are often not ideal. Purchasing an affordable wheelchair starts with knowing the patient and researching the types of wheelchairs available. It is a great resource on many different types of medical wheelchairs. Bariatric wheelchair, designed for users between 18 and 26 stone. It has a padded sling and backrest to ensure the comfort of the user, and the armrests can be removed to allow easy transfer into and out of the wheelchair. The Heavy User Wheelchair is self-propelled, giving the option to either push it, or have the user move themselves. The large rear wheels make the wheelchair well-suited to outdoor use, and allow the user to change the direction they face when in social situations. It has folding frame, so it is easy for storage and transport. Interchangeable frame components allow to grow and change the chairs width and depth. There are custom frame specifications available. Maximum option choices allow chair to be built to the individual's specifications. It has folding "lockout" cross-brace. Cross-brace locks to limit flex in the frame for more efficient propelling. Double cross-brace. Allows more strength and enables greater weight capacity. Wheelchair Bariatric has Adjustable back height. Ensures optimal positioning of backrest for stability and scapular movement. Stabilizer bar to minimize flex and provides a more efficient ride. Multiple footplate options ensure optimal positioning of lower extremities. Quick-release axle allows quick removal of rear wheels for easy transport. Adjustable Axle Plate Adjustments help to maximize stability and propulsion of the chair. Allows center of gravity adjustment for more efficient ride. Also makes it possible to adjust the rear frame height when it's necessary to change the caster wheels. Description: Attendant cable brake. 14" rear wheels. Detachable and washable cu

Neuroleptics significantly increase risk of Tardive Dyskinesias: we should think before we prescribe

we need to think twice before prescribing minocycline for dermatologic conditions

Homeopathy shown to reduce infection rate of cold/flu viruses by 20-40%.  The control was acyclovir, ribavirin, and amantadine, all commonly prescribed anti-virals

This study shows that induced hyperandrogenism in women causes insulin resistance.  This should be taken well note of by many physicians and patient.  Many women are prescribed massive amounts of testosterone through pills or injections, which is likely contributing to weight increase.  

24 week study of 71 women post-hysterectomy finds no increase in cardiovascular biomarkers.  Several problems with this study.  First, there was a large drop out--24%.  Second and most important, the women were pretreated with estrogen prior to Testosterone therapies were initiated.  Other studies have proposed that this protects cardiovascular risk in women on Testosterone.  Previous studies show increasing endogenous Testosterone is associated with increasing cardiovascular disease in women.   This study would be much better if no estradiol was prescribed.  That would give an unbiased view of Testosterone in post-hysterectomy women.  Not much can be taken from this study. If you doctor doesn't know this, find another doctor.  Inherent bias in this study as ties to the manufacturer of the Testosterone was disclosed. This study point to the inherent flaws in so much of the medical literature today.  Most would read the headlines and read no further, but the "further" dispels the headline as flawed.

Opioid use, despite type (including methadone), is associated with lower Testosterone in men.  This is not new information, but this meta-analysis reconfirms this relationship, particularly that methadone has the same effect.  This relationship was not found in women.  These physicians that regularly prescribe opiates  to men are doing them an incredible disservice.  A lower T in men is a significant negative health biomarker.
