Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I keep hearing commercials on the radio and tv about a testosterone enhancement pill that us guys need! The reason we need it is because according to the ad we have less than our fathers and even less than our grandfathers! It doesn't say why we have less but it makes that statement! Question: How the %^$# do they know how much my grandfathers had or my father or for that matter how much I have?? How can they make that claim?

Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Rye: They didn't test your parents or grandparents specifically , but a study of men the same age in subsequent years apparently has shown a decrease in the testosterone levels.

It only goes back to 1987! I still don't how how they know what my grandfathers level was! One died in 1956 the other died in 1964!!! Neither had diabetes, one died from black lung the other a heart attack! My dad died in 1994 at 83, heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I think it is the attack on male image! Remember when father knew best? Nowadays, father is stupid and mother will make sure he is reminded of it, daily if not hourly! Not saying that women should be relegated to the roles shown on "Leave it to Beaver"! There are plenty of smart woemen out there, and they are capable of great things. Look at some of our astronauts, and the history of the new junior senator from Arizona. But the image that is mostly portrayed for males has been diminished over the last few decades. Of course, as posted, medications available today to treat conditions/diseases can have an effect of actual testosterone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 The stuff on the radio isn't testosterone. Actual testosterone requires a doctor's prescription. This is "testosterone enhancement" and is made by the vitamin/supplement industries. This is largely unregulated so they make all sorts of unsubstantiated claims/lies. Remember these marketing "facts"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Redd Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Those hormone shots (Eligard) ain’t for everybody , took my first one 1/8/18 and just now getting over the side effects , was supposed to take one every six months for two years , I declined after the first one . Did the radiation for twenty five days and right now my numbers are good , my point is you can’t treat us all like an assembly line every patient is different.
