I'm an old male (66) and might like a boost?

It's amazing what you can do. If...
    you put your mind to it.

A shot of testosterone is not going to help you any more than a shot
of brain cells.
Odds are that at your age you have a lower testosterone level than
when younger.
However, if you try to boost testosterone up, you may be accelerating
the growth of testosterone fueled prostate cancer.
So you might not like a boost for very long.

T is a scheduled drug meaning that if you find a source it might be
delivered by the DEA. (Some states (e.g. NY) a schedule 2; Federal, a
schedule 3). If you get a prescription (not too difficult for old
duffers), of course it's perfectly permissible.


So. That's what he's trying to correct.


No. The current wisdom is that T does not increase the likelihood nor
increase the aggressiveness of PCa. If it did those high T teenagers
would all have PCa.

BTW but beyond the scope of this posting: Teenagers do not necessarily
have higher T than old duffers; while T influences other things it's
primary sexual use is libido; there's a lot more to T than meets the
eye. Oh yeah and you can't just "boost" it up. Because of the way T is
made inside the body any extra T from outside reduces the amount you
have until you pass the zero point when you'll start to climb again.
Thus it's "replacement T" not "supplemental T".


If you want to discuss this further ask in an appropriate NG such as
alt.support.impotence.

 Research shows that you are right and I am wrong. In the general
population, men given hormone replacement don't have more prostate
cancer. It sounded like the poster may have been seeking a non
prescribed source without medical testing. There are prostate cancers
that feed on testosterone so if he already had early cancer, he might
soon have late cancer. I just don't trust messing with my hormones
unless I know something is needed.
