Google on testosterone...or testosterone on google
I just got an email telling me that according to Bloomberg Business week 14-20 May 2012 p 27-28 testosterone drugs for men are rapidly becoming lifestyle drugs in a similar way to Viagra. It said that prescriptions more than doubled since 2006 and that the market is expected to triple to $5bn by 2017.
This interests me not because I need Viagra...yet...unless of course that is this evening my wife tells me otherwise ...but because before discovering that Ashtanga yoga gave me a better workout I used to go to the gym. One of the things you learn when going to the gym is that some men try to enhance their muscular development with products we use in the veterinary world for other purposes which increase the production of testosterone.
I thought "...I'll try to verfiy these figures before posting them" and came across something much more interesting. Here from a sponsored link on Google I found a site for a UK based clinic where I can 'enhance my virility'. There's a picture of a bloke with a decent set of pecs, a six-pack and a big grin. The site offers me "penile elongation and enlargement" and other delights for the ladies such as "genitalia rejuvenation"; I guess that would be for for when you've been really busy and need a make-over.
It does tell me why I might wish to consider hormone replacement without mentioning the name of the product used. The curious thing is that I was only able to find it via a sponsored link on Google with nothing relating to the content of this site other than the word "testosterone".Tags: None

A quick google search of Nebido takes me to http://www.nebido.com/ where it tells me the latest research: 21st August 2012 "Study finds that low testosterone levels are common in men with sexual problems and may be related to chronic illnesses". There are two buttons I can click, one for patients, one for "healthcare professionals". When I click the one for "healthcare professionals" it says, "...This area of the website is intended for healthcare professionals outside the USA and the UK only." I can continue to this section by clicking something confirming that I am a "healthcare professional" but I don't have to register or log in.
Quite an interesting site and I suspect this drug is therepeutically useful in the hands of a specialist endocrinologist but I can't see much on here about what abusing this drug would do to your heart, liver or accessory sex organs.
I wonder where all the abusers go for their information? Down the gym I guess.
