Testosterone For Life
Bob Livingston | Jul 19, 2012 | Comments 9 |
Conventional medicine has turned the world upside down on the matter of testosterone.
According to conventional medicine, testosterone levels are directly related to prostate cancer. The first thing doctors want to do if a male tests positive for prostate cancer is to effect androgen blockage — that is block any production of testosterone. Few men object or even question this voodoo nonsense.
The truth is that testosterone is the essence of male life. Low male testosterone is the beginning of sorrows. It is almost synonymous with aging. This in no way means that this is a good thing. In fact, unknown to most doctors, the beginning of low testosterone signals the beginning of deterioration of male health.
Beginning at about age 35, testosterone levels begin to decline. By the time a man is 70 years old, most of his testosterone is gone. For men who have diabetes, obesity, hypertension or lung disease, the risk of low testosterone is much greater.
The symptoms of low testosterone are low energy, chronic fatigue, low sex drive, poor-quality erections, loss of muscle bulk and strength. Low testosterone is proved to be associated with increased risk of diabetes, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries including heart attacks or strokes) and weak bones.
The classic symptom of low testosterone is low libido or low sex drive. In fact, any male above age 40 should suspect low testosterone first if he is beginning to lose his sex drive. Even if men around the age of 40 have no symptoms of low testosterone at all, they need to be aware that this is the age at which testosterone levels decline in most men and negative health begins.
Men, no matter what happens to your health or mood, suspect low testosterone. Your greatest risk is not the fact that you probably have low testosterone beginning at about age 40. Your greatest risk is the ignorance of your establishment medicine-trained doctor who has been trained to equate testosterone (in any amount low or high) with prostate cancer.
Why in the world is this? Well, establishment medicine is not about health. It is about money!
The medical system requires sick people to feed its money machine. Promoting the blockade of testosterone when prostate cancer is suspected is, in my opinion, an attack upon male health. Just you try to convince your doctor of this!
The very first thing every living male should do is learn about male testosterone and consult an alternative doctor.

Ashwagandha: An Anti-Aging Tonic That Boosts Testosterone And Relieves Anxiety
Every now and then in life we run across a gold mine if we are aware and looking. Of course, you are not likely to find things if you are not a reader.
Reading uncovers a lot of diamonds and gold. Well, in this case, it’s an herb extract called Ashwagandha, an Indian herb also known as withania somnifera. It has been written up by Kerry Bone, a very knowledgeable herbologist who heads up MediHerb for the Standard Process Company.
I wouldn’t believe these fantastic claims if made by anyone else. See what you think.
Ashwagandha has an important role to play in modern healthcare. Read this and be reminded that several clinical trials have shown the results below:
- Cut anxiety and extend your years in just 60 days. Using just 250 milligrams twice daily, there were significant improvements in reduction of anxiety in a treated group in only 60 days. Seventy percent showed improvement along with very beneficial changes in blood biochemistry. Additionally, this group experienced a significant reduction in serum cortisol of 30.5 percent. High cortisol is very detrimental to health over time, causing the body to maintain a high level of inflammation, which is a killer of health and youth. There was also an increase in DHEA of 32.5 percent. And a very significant reduction for C-reactive protein (35.2 percent), which is another measure of inflammation. Most health students know the seriousness of high inflammation in the body. Here we have a big reduction after taking Ashwagandha. And look at this: Fasting blood glucose down 6.1 percent, total cholesterol down 13.1 percent, triglycerides down 11.7 percent, LDL cholesterol down 17.4 percent, HDL (good) cholesterol up 17.3 percent and hemoglobin up by 9.1 percent. These results suggest that the regular intake of Ashwagandha will make you feel better and suffer from less stress. It will also increase your life expectancy by reducing those risk factors associated with chronic disease, such as heart disease and diabetes.
- Significant improvements in fertility. Two clinical trials suggest that Ashwagandha is useful as a male tonic. Well, it’s quite a bit more than a tonic. It boosts testosterone levels. Ashwagandha significantly raised testosterone levels and hammers down C-reactive protein and cortisol levels.
This writer is more than excited about the vast unbelievable health benefits of Ashwagandha. I have been on it for three months and can tell a great difference in the way I feel.
The extract in liquid form by Standard Process is available from many chiropractors.
The capsule form is available at good health food stores.

In my late 30′s I would get sick with colds and sinus infections all the time in the winter one after another and also began to suffer from horrible chronic prostititus which is enlargement or inflammation of the prostate. I had to see a urologist who put me on anti-inflammatory antibiotics and had scheduled prostate massages which were quite uncomfortable. The antibiotics and massages worked but the antibiotics made my joints sore many times. At about 40 I started testosterone therapy and can say that it is a miracle what raising your testosterone to healthy 20 year old levels does for you. Ever since I hardly ever get sick with colds and if I do they are very short lasting. I haven’t had any bouts with prostititus anymore either. Testosterone is amazing. I hope more doctors will realize the incredible benefits of normal/ideal testosterone levels. Indeed I think it can eliminate many chronic diseases men suffer from.
How does a woman who has low hormones get more when I had blood clots from premerine? I want my sex life back!
Contact an alterative physician( try ANCAM, or http://www.a4m.com, or lifeextension.com) to find one. Then use ONLY natural BIO-IDENTICAL hormones COMPOUNDED specifically for you to your NEW doctor’s prescription by a COMPOUNDING PHARMACY. (incidentally, Life Extension is probably the cheapest source— that is where I get mine. They are generally compounded from “wild Yams”
See a naturopathic physician and ask for bio identical hormones. Do your home work about bio identical hormones. They come in cream form and capsules. They are made by a compounding pharmacist. I use and have used for 7 years bioidentical estrogen ( Tri est), progesteron, and testosterone. I am a 65 year old female having had a hysterectomy at 42. Lost my sex life even on Primerin. Got it back when I started the bioidentical hormones. Husband will be 70 this year he uses bioidentical testosterone. We still practice 2 – 3 times a wk.yes they work.
My husband is approaching 70 and has all the symptoms of low testosterone for years. His family doctor has run a blood test and says he is fine. I think this is ridiculous what are the best tests to confirm low testosterone?
I found out something when I had an eye exam. The doctor said “your eyes are fine”. Then as an after thought he added “For your age”. What?? Any way he did see plaque normally in older peoples eyes. I find this to be also true when my other doc said my “T’” were OK “they are awhole lot better than some patients 1/2 your age. Fast forward to now . For 75 I have some JUST WHAT is considered above the low threshhold but my bedroom performance was none existant for15 years. Right now I’mb using “T” improving herbs and acetyl -l-arginine &orthinine for blood flow. Also people loose energy and are tired all the time – because almost all people are very short of iodine for thyroid even though tests seem to be ok. I’m using 1mg of iodine and I add about 1500 B12 sub lingual. Presto, my whole persona and energy is improving… PS: eliminate as much sugar out of your diet as you can if you have heart, circulation, diabetes, arthritis, mental slowdown or probably anything else that is destroying you. Don’t eat soy, don’t use pesticides for roaches but use Dr Harris Roach pills made from boron powder. All this stuff makes your body react as though its getting a dose of estrogen – thats why women are growing bigger breast and little boys are growing swellings instead of being flat chested. And of course sperm counts are going down. In England they are down as 50% in some areas. “Chemicals!!!” Treat your ody to neutrition rather than replacement harmones if you can. If replacements are needed try to do Identical harmones. Artificial ones cause side effects.
In addition to my first reply, I left out that with a little exercise with 10 lbs barbel weights I added 1 inch to my arm bicept measurement in about 8 months. With the B12 and the overall improvements in neutrition I feel a whole better mentally, no blue/cranky days. I also take a bunch of other stuff to try to nurish and stay healthy until my heavenly Father calls me home. Another thing that is the very basis of good health is to have a body that is slightly alkaline which is required for good health. If your body is acidic then a persons health goes down hill to cancer an death accorinding to one book that I have. Testing is not hard with litmus paper. Your body runs on voltage and good voltage is with the alkaline body. Acidic boldy means your voltage is low. Check your vegs/fruits with a digital volt meter and your can see that. The old saying that an “apple a day” was good, but now I think that in my case a grapefruit or 1/2 a day may be better because a grapfruit causes your body to become alkaline even though the grapfruit is acidic. Check it out. I have the IBS problem and I am on a quest to cure it. Relationship with God (of Christians and Jews) is very important. To sum it all up, as a person gets older some exercise, better neutrition, minimizing sugar, and neutritional supplements are needed. Maybe a liver cleanse, or cleanse of digestive sys for parasites because of all the chemicals and parasites that are in food and carried by pets. You clean your house so what makes a person think that his body does’t.
Per Dr. Anthony Komaroff, Universal Uclick, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106:
Testosterone spurs the growth of many prostate cancer cells. Therefore, treatments that
LOWER testosterone levels are often given to men with prostate cancer. Myself, Ronald Rinker, I don’t think we should mess with the testosterone God gave us. If we are 70 years old or older such as myself (73) I don’t worry about having sex anymore. I had a good life and good sex for most of it!!! My older brother had prostate cancer and had it cut out. I don’t have the cancer yet, but I am certainly not going to mess with my testosterone. The only supplement I take to help my general health is a good “senior” multiple and L-Arginine (500 mg.) a day.
Also Dr. Komaroff says messing with your testosterone may also increase risk of heart disease per UC Berkeley Wellness Report School of Public Health 2011.
If that were true all young men with high T would have heart “disease” which is really “arterial disease” caused by Vit C deficiency. See ” The Truth About Vit C” by two doctors.
I’ve taken bio indentical T ( 60 yrs. old male) for over a year now and lost 80 lbs. of fat, gained 20 lbs. of muscle and am tearing it up in the bedroom ( and everywhere else). Your loss my friend.
Only negative side effect is testicular atrophy ( shrinking balls) which is corrected with two weekly injections of HCG just prior to my 1 cc T shot.
