http://www.DocBlock.com, Dr. Jerome Block, MD has an Integrative and Internal Medicine practice in Tulsa, OK that caters to patients who have seen many doctors in the past, but who have not seen any results or improvement in their health! Dr. Jerome Block, MD is the real ife "House". He achieves results when others have failed. Here are some passages from Dr. Block's website: "Testosterone replacement is not exactly the same as T treatment that a physician may do for HIV, refractory anemia, or muscle wasting disease. Replacement is giving the very sub-stance of which the patient is deficient. The best replacement is with Bioidentical T. T has been used in human beings for over sixty years. The Nobel Prize for its discovery and characterization was awarded to a Swiss chemist, Leopold Ruzicka, and a German doctor, Adolf Butenandt, in 1939. T has been approved for treatment for over fifty years. Because of the pos­sible abuse by athletes and others as "steroids," it is controlled almost as much as class A narcotic by the FDA. There are vari­ous ways to replace this hormone. Each has its advantage and disadvantage. The easiest way is with a prescription gel, either Androgel or Testim. These cost over $200 a month, although they are covered by many insurance drug programs. Testim has a fragrance that is adored by some women and abhorred by others. Much less expensive is T gel or cream from compounding pharmacies. The cost of this is between $28 and $55 a month. Despite the drug companies telling men to use the substance on their arms and the front part of their shoulders, I recommend that it be applied to the non-fatty part of the groin. In that way, the T is absorbed through the same blood vessels to which it was naturally transmitted from the testicle. Care should be taken not to put the T on the scrotum since the subcutaneous tissue would metabolize that to the harmful DHT, causing prostate enlargement and baldness. To take advantage of the natural diurnal variation of T, because it gives more vigor then, the morning after bathing would seem best. However, it can be used anytime of the day. It takes several weeks before a good blood level can be obtained and maybe as long as a month before the desired results are realized. The dose of T is as low as 25 mg to as much as 300 mg daily. Another way of delivering T is by intramuscular injection, giving 100 mg on average weekly. The longer lasting T-cyprionate enathnate, or propionate, is being used now, but in the future the longer acting Nebido will be available. This will last ten weeks. Usually my nurse teaches the man or his significant other how to inject this fluid deep into the muscle. This preparation is cost effective. It takes four days to peak, lasts ten days, then drops off. Some men feel the peaks and valleys of this method. It also takes several blood tests at peak and drop-off (trough)levels along with the history of symptom relief to determine the correct dose and cycle of administration."
