Blood tests and doctors

[Bob Smith]

Swale, I checked out your site last night and am impressed with how you are going about protecting the health of AAS users. How does your service work for people that cannot get into your office? I mean, if I want one of the blood tests done, how would I go about that? I dont mind injecting myself, but drawing blood is another issue! Are there clinics that would do it anonymously or "off the books?"

Also, is there some way to find a doctor locally that would be willing to work with an AAS user and keep those records separate from normal med records? As Im sure youve heard the story many, many times, Ive gone to the doc and basically been berated for my choice to use test. I dont feel like wasting my time with someone like that or with someone who really has no clue about AAS and associated health issues.

I would like to feel comfortable talking with someone about the health issues and be able to get regular checkups by someone locally, and also use your services, so that you and local doc work together.

Good questions.

I have moved this thread to the AAS Forum, where I think it is more applicable.

I am willing to treat AAS athletes remotely via the Internet. My reasoning is that they are going to use AAS anyway, so it does no good to beat them up for it. Doing so only damages doctor/patient relationship, to the detriment of the patient. It is better to try to get them to do some health monitoring along the way, and also to protect their cardiovascular health and hormonal systems than not to. As far as the ancillaries I provide, my goal there is to get them to use FDA-approved ancillaries, prescribed by a physician expert in HPTA protection and recovery.

I guess this is as good a time as any, and as good a Message Board as any, to make the following announcement:

In the very near future, I will no longer be accepting any more AAS athlete-patients.

The heat I get from my colleagues has become more than I can bear. There are several physicians in my own community, including a few of my own mentors AND EVEN MY OWN PERSONAL PHYSICIAN who refuse to even talk to me. For some reason, they have gotten the notion that I prescribe steroids. Even though I never have, nor will. Even though my website clearly states the Upjohn test cyp and Androgel are "for TRT patients only", and Deca, Anadrol, Winnie, Eq, Var, etc. do not appear on my list of provided medications. It seems that once these doctors hear the word "steroids", their minds automatically snap shut. And it does no good to tell them that I am merely protecting the health of these AAS athletes, so that they are in the very best state of health possible on the day they finally decide to quit using. Perhaps they would be more accepting if I were treating heroin addicts? LOL.

I am now making somewhat of a name for myself as a lecturer on TRT for men. As I engage in the war to educate doctors on the health consequences of low, and even low-normal, levels of testosterone, and the well-proven benefits of TRT, the association with AAS is hurting my efforts within the conventional medical community. Therefore I can do better for mens' health in general by walking away from this segment of the patient population. My hopes are that the work I have already provided on how to best protect the health of steroid users, and how to recover the HPTA, will endure. As I come up with new stuff, I will be happy to provide same for all--openly and free, as I have in the past.

We are now making moves to dismantle the website of all mention of AAS. Once that is done, I will no longer be doing any more AAS Consults. The AAS patients I have at that time I will continue to care for, of course, because I wouldn't just throw them out on their ear, and many will need TRT from me once they have finally quit. I find it better to smoothly transition them into TRT than to allow them to suffer needlessly.

Maybe some of the Bro's would be kind enough to help spread the word for me. Thank you.
