could be abstracted as follows..
About This Book
Testosterone is not a Magic Hormone
Chapter 1: What Is Testosterone?
Men produce about 6 to 8 milligrams per day in their youth, while women produce about
one twentieth of that- approximately 300 micrograms.
You are better off testing your own hormone levels with a
saliva testing kit.
Chapter 2: Testosterone Precursors
There are a variety of over the counter testosterone precursors available, including muira puama, homeopathic testosterone, Lepidium root, Tribulus terrestis, zinc formulations, tongkat ali
(Longifolium), chrysin, apigenin, various herbal combinations, and other such concoctions. Science has shown all of them to be useless.
The best way to raise testosterone is to use real prescription
unsalted testosterone transdermally, or a salt such as enanthate sublingually
Chapter 3: What Is Your Level?
Ideally, you want to know the levels of your fourteen (14) basic hormones. You will never enjoy the best of health until all your basic hormones are at youthful levels.
These saliva kits are readily available on the Internet, and should be in the chain drug stores
and pharmacies one day. You can pay as little as $25 per hormone to test your testosterone, D
HEA, melatonin, estradiol, estrone, or estriol.
Chapter 4: How Do I Use It?
Basically, the only safe, inexpensive, and effective ways to use testosterone are sublingual (under the tongue) tablets or drops, or transdermal creams or gels. DMSO transdermal solutions are not approved by the FDA, but you can easily make your own.
never use oral or injected testosterone
Only a total program of diet and lifestyle will lower hyper levels of hormones.
If you are over the age of 50, you might just assume you are low in testosterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, melatonin, GH, and other such hormones.
Chapter 5: The Current Evidence
This is going to be a very well cited scientific chapter.
Chapter 6: General Benefits
Any side effects are always due to using the wrong doses in the wrong ways.
Chapter 7: Cardiovascular Health
The biggest killer of people worldwide, by far, is cardiovascular disease (CHD).
Men with higher testosterone levels have much healthier hearts and circulatory systems,
Hypertension is the most common medical condition on earth.
Cholesterol is the best CHD indicator of all
Chapter 8: Various Diseases and Testosterone
The proper way to cure any disease, illness, or condition is with natural diet, proven supplements, natural hormone balance, fasting, exercise, no prescription drugs, and dropping bad habits (coffee, alcohol, tobacco, etc.).
all our hormones work together in harmoniously as a team in symphony.
Cardiovascular illness (CHD) of all kinds is the most common of all medical conditions and the biggest killer by far.
Cancer is the second biggest killer
Obesity is an epidemic
Alzheimer’s is an epidemic
All of the above illnesses have shown testosterone and other hormone imbalance as a cause

Chapter 10: Testosterone and Your Prostate

testosterone is necessary for good prostate health.
Chapter 11: Female Sexuality
The great majority of women around the world have sexual problems with arousal, desire, and fulfillment.

Hormones affect women much more than men
Chapter 12: Male Sexuality

A vital part of psychological and psychiatric treatment should be natural hormone balance.

hormones do play an important part in this in addition to diet and exercise.
Chapter 16: Exercise and Strength
there is a large body of research regarding the effect of exercise on male testosterone levels, but very little on females.
The bottom line is that exercise helps normalize hormone levels.
Exercise helps normalize your hormones.
If you exercise regularly you will make permanent changes.

This review I wrote for a company could also be found here: http://www.testosterone-for-men.com/T...
This book I would hesitate to recommend to anyone!
The book starts well. The author mentions testosterone as one of a number of important hormones that are necessary to maintain health. He goes on to say, quite correctly, that it is hormonal balance that's the real issue for most of us.
He also states, again correctly, that exercise is important to hormonal production and health as is diet and lifestyle. But then he loses me...
He suggests we pray and meditate and he defines healthy diet as macrobiotics (read about it on Wikipedia here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrobio...). I do agree that there is some value in parts of having a macrobiotic diet but like anything it should be used in moderation and is not the whole answer to hormonal issues by any means.
In fact if you are looking for a detailed review you cannot do better than reading the review here: http://ezinearticles.com/?Testosteron...
My score: 2 out of 5.
