Androgel

   I have blogged and posted about testosterone therapy countless times. See archived blogs if you want more detail on the risks, the marketing ploy, or th cholesterol connection. Today I just wanted to point out an article that I posted all over social media last week on Androgel. You can read that article here...  http://bigstory.ap.org/article/group-wants-heart-attack-warning-testosterone. In case you missed it during the article let me copy and paste this excerpt... "The researchers found that while 13 studies funded by drug companies did not show an increase in heart problems, 14 non-industry funded trials showed a two-fold increase in risk in heart problems." The first time I read this I literally laughed out loud. I know drug companies lie, cheat, and steal in the name of profit, but this is so blatant it's hysterical. But you know what's not funny? The number of men who have already taken this or are currently taking this that are unaware that by taking Androgel they are increasing their risk of stroke, heart attack, and death by 30 percent. Have you watched much TV lately? If you have you have probably already noticed the lawyers running commercials in regards to Androgel. "Have you or a family member suffered a heart attack or stroke or even died while taking Androgel....?" One a drug hits the market place, it's just a matter of time before it's pulled off, and you know what is the measure that gets it pulled off? The number of bodies piling up.
