Amazing you just said that. I accept a doctor who practices TRT and a researcher who has spent so much time studying ananolics over some Internet forum user who simply references studies all the time.
The amount of men who have been helped on this forum and others because of Nihcols / Rouziers experience and knowledge is huge. Same with Jay cambell. So many men today are much better off because they stop being scared of estrogen and a higher dose of T.
Nichols, and his wife are both trained by Dr. Rouzier. So many hormone doctors were trained by him. Hes the most intelligent mind in the hormone world today. Everything doctor Nichols says is with Rouziers blessing. They speak often. They are close and trade notes all the time.
You are comparing apples to oranges. You literally just boggled my mind with that comment.
Instead you’ll believe some stranger who has never created a video, never worked in the field of TRT, has not been trained for TRT over a doctor who has tons of experience and was trained by the best of the best.
Sorry dude but thats a horrible way to go about this.
The endocrine is aware that EDC’s can block hormone actions on receptors, but is not included in the guidelines for diagnosing a testosterone deficiency for which Dr. Abraham Morgentaler is trying to change.
EDC’s attach to the androgen receptor, an EDC’s can act as an inhibitor (competitive inhibitor) by blocking androgens receptors. In some cases an EDC can work as an antagonist and in some cases is an irreversible antagonist because it can’t be washed out and competes with androgen receptor signaling.
Doctors and scientists have already mapped/measured a 40% difference from one man to the next in androgen insensitivity due to these EDC’s blocking hormones actions and are pushing for a new diagnosis of Type 3 hypogonadism is men with normal testosterone levels who are resistant to androgens.
No they have not. There is not a single high quality study that showed this. None. If you have one please share it.
There is considerable difference between subjects due to genetic variability when it comes serum T concentrations and/or the action T mediates in tissue, but not due to EDCs. There is some evidence that EDCs do in fact interfere with the endocrine system but the impact it has in terms of quantity remains to be clarified.
@systemlord How many times did I tell you on the basis of my education and the input from my physician colleagues that you need injectable insulin to improve healthwise? And for how long did you dismiss this? And kept rumbling about EDCs. And how are you doing now using Insulin?
I stop it right here as it’s pointless.
Apologies to @jas0917 for this mess in your thread, I hope you are doing better soon.
Doing very well, use Lantus 1x daily and Humalog 3x daily and fasting glucose as of yesterday was 97. I had to push my doctor in this direction and he seemed hesitant to include the Humalog because the Lantus would kick-in towards the end of the day and the benefit was short lived.
For the record I never doubted you, my doc wanted to try medicine first before insulin and I had no choice but to oblige.
Long post lost my attention span. I’m just going to assume more words means you didn’t have any actual evidence to post to dispute what Johann posted.
Scott Howell Ph.D. showed references to the variation in those affected by EDC’s about how EDC’s can act as antagonists competing and blocking hormones actions and that there are men out there with normal testosterone levels and symptomatic.
I cant help but comment again. Sorry.
He showed in vitro (ie in the test tube) binding studies of EDCs to the androgen receptor. No one in the scientific community is disputing that EDCs are capable to bind to the AR or the estrogen receptors. What is simply unknown is the impact EDCs have on our endocrine system. We simply dont know whether these chemicals do ‘only’ impact the most vulnerable among us like fetuses within their first weeks of development as suggested by the slightly increased incidence of male sexual organ malformation (hypospadius) or whether they also impact an adult mans system. And if they do whats the extent of the impact.
But what I really dislike and thats why i keep responding, is the sales pitch that the T ref ranges are intentionally falsified or that the ‘lowering’ of the ranges is an indication that T levels have declined over the last decades because of the presence of EDCs. Thats simply not correct and everybody who has a basic education in chemistry knows and understands this.
I am thinking about making a video about this topic or even writing a paper because its such a topic of misunderstanding and misinformation. If I only had the time to do so.
@enackers
I started a conversation with Scott Howell in the comments section of the video you linked. You can follow there if you like. Name is Jon Tal.
So far I got the response that ‘he will castrate me like a little bitch’. Certainly thats the language you would hope to get from a PhD when challenged about a scientific topic.
My 2 last comments are unfortunatly not displayed (moderated to keep unliked replies from the comments). I asked him about some analytical questions and whether he would be willing to have a skype conversation about some topics which could be released on youtube. Lets see.

I meant to be responding to the other guy in this thread, FYI. For once I wasn’t giving you a hard time 
I don’t blame him. You think you are so smart on this subject . Answer his questions. He’s speaking in terms of educationally get your ass handed to you. It’s obvious .
It’s not like you cared to give his experience any serious consideration. You go into everything as though you are the expert and he’s the rookie. It’s the other way around. You are the teacher and already know it all.
Ever heard the story of the teacher and the student with a full cup!
