No reason really. Just to stop people from having any alternatives to Big Pharma. 
For instance Andro. It was sold at GNC and other vitamin stores.
It actually and really did help your body produce a small amount of extra testosterone.
The FDA moved in after the Mark McGuire baseball "scandal" and pulled it.
So now, IF you want to do it legally...you have to go to a doctor and pay him to prescribe you a hormone (testosterone) that is THE hormone that makes you a man to begin with. Then you have to go to a pharmacy and pay 10 times what the testosterone actually costs.
And then you have to go back to the doctor every couple of months for "blood work" (recurring billing).
All because we live longer than we did in ancient times and our bodies slow down producing testosterone naturally as we get into the late 30's and 40's.
It's amazing to me that people fall for this whole scam.
I bet women would go apeshit if the govt. made Estrogen (the hormone that makes them women) illegal like they did testosterone.
In my humble opinion...we as a society have allowed our govt. to have far more CONTROL over us than they ever should have had.
To the point now where the GOVT. gets to decide how much of your manhood you can keep as you grow older.  |
I was prescribed Androgel because I had a varicose vein in my nutsack, so it knocked my testosterone down to 150 -- and brother I sure felt it. I had wondered why I was progressively feeling like shit all the time, almost like I perpetually had the flu.
I go to a specialty doc, and I'm pretty sure he loves having me come back every 3 months for bloodwork and other tests. I look at the bill my insurance is paying and I can tell you it's not cheap.
But I feel fucking great, my body looks better than ever, and I fuck like a werewolf on crack. So while the docs are probably all over-prescribing the testosterone medications to people who might not really need it, for those who legitimately have issues it's like a magic drug. I can't go back to living the way I was before.
