An interesting albeit brief introduction to TRT. The author seems to have simplified a paper he has written about TRT and published what is really a very short article that gives his view on TRT.
It seems a controversial subject, especially in the UK, and much like female HRT 30+ years ago is not yet part of mainstream medical treatment.

There is good information in this book, but it is technical and not always clearly stated. Fact is, nobody really has the answers. More research is needed. Results so far have been inconclusive, even contradictory.
Meanwhile, Testosterone Replacement Therapy is complicated and can cause permanent changes in endocrine function, so don’t try this at home! Don’t do it unless it is clearly necessary, and then only with competent professional supervision. This book points out symptoms that might indicate a need for TRT, but laboratory tests are imprecise and unreliable. So don’t chase numbers on lab printouts, says the author. Don’t treat in the absence of real symptoms. If a man has a healthy libido and erectile function he does not need this therapy, which can upset delicate hormonal balances. “Adding, or changing the dose of, a medication is likened to dropping a pebble into a pond.” That said, “low normal” is not good enough because “a man’s body runs on testosterone.”
This book discusses blood and urine tests, but makes no mention of saliva testing. Men who don’t like needles should be advised that this program involves frequent blood testing, and its delivery systems include injections. TRT can cause thickening of blood, which may require therapeutic blood draws. Each blood draw changes the nutritional and immune statuses of the patient.
The book has little to say about prostate cancer, except that it does not contraindicate TRT. Consideration of this book is recommended to men who clearly need the therapy. Illustrated, but no index or bibliography.
