Report Slow Down Stop Reverse Aging

"Testosterone
decline
is
at
the
core
of
that
male
menopause
(and
a
key
element
in
the
female
menopause
as
well).
Naturally,
the
two
sexes
have
a
different
experience
of
midlife
menopausal
change.
In
women,
there
is
an
explosion
of
in-your-face
symptoms,
while
men's
very
similar
symptoms
sneak
in
the
back
door
unexpectedly
life
a
thief
in
the
night.
Too
often,
loss
of
energy,
ambition,
sexual
drive,
and
a
host
of
minor
symptoms
are
written
off
as
'burnout'
or
depression.

"Women,
meanwhile,
have
already
learned
that
hormone
replacement
therapy
results
in
reversal
of
the
physical
changes
of
menopause.
Men,
confronted
by
an
information
vacuum,
still
need
to
make
the
same
discovery.

"There
are,
of
course,
scientists
on
both
sides
of
the
fence.
Even
after
forty
years
of
experience,
few
subjects
engender
more
emotion
and
controversy
than
estrogen
replacement
for
women.
Yet
the
vast
majority
of
studies
show
a
risk-benefit
ratio
that
emphatically
favors
the
camp
of
hormonal
replacement.
The
considerable
literature
on
testosterone
replacement
shows
a
very
similar
balance
of
benefit
over
risk.
Keep
that
in
mind
and
remember
that
quality
of
life
is
clearly
the
cornerstone
of
all
treatment
decisions.

"Why
have
the
subject
of
male
menopause
and
the
advantages
of
testosterone
therapy
taken
so
long
to
surface?
One
can
only
speculate.
Perhaps
the
unspeakable
spectre
of
impotence
is
at
the
root
of
silence.
Perhaps
it
simply
takes
time
for
new
ideas
to
rise
into
the
medical
mainstream.
Old
dogmas
and
clinical
habits
die
hard.
It
is
well
for
us
not
to
rashly
assume
that
every
new
nostrum
has
value,
but
resistance
in
the
face
of
overwhelming
science
has
no
excuse.
To
prevent
the
suffering
of
many
is,
for
me,
a
powerful
motivator.
That
is
why
I
wrote
this
book.

"Resistance
will
fade.
Testosterone
therapy
has
every
prospect
of
becoming
for
men
what
estrogen
therapy
is
now
for
millions
of
women.
The
male
menopause,
a
real
tragedy
in
the
middle
of
the
average
man,
has
had
its
day.
I
am
going
to
put
a
stake
through
its
ugly
little
heart.
I
promise."
