Steroids Will Kill You
TweetSteroids will kill you! by Cy Willson
If you get this sort of response from your doctor or well-meaning buttinsky, you should first inform them that there is no conclusive evidence that anabolic steroids, in a direct manner, will indeed lead to a premature death.
Granted, if you use high doses of anabolic steroids constantly for years upon years, you do increase the risk for atherosclerosis due to alterations in blood lipids and possibly heart failure if your blood pressure is constantly elevated over the years. However, with judicious use over short periods of time (i.e. cycling), there is no reason to believe that anabolic steroids will shorten your life span. In fact, replacement doses of Testosterone often improve blood lipid profiles.
Oh, and just a quick side note, I honestly can't tell you how many times that doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and other health professionals that I've talked to don't know that Testosterone is a steroid, or worse yet, confuse anabolic steroids with corticosteroids. This happens very often.
Furthermore, there's no evidence that anabolic steroids cause cancer in any tissue and in fact, they've been used successfully to treat cachexia associated with human immunodeficiency virus, cancer, burns, renal and hepatic failure, and anemia associated with leukemia or kidney failure. Now, most people will be quick to point out the relationship of Testosterone and prostate cancer, but you should be quick to point out that this is done in an indirect manner since it's estrogen and DHT which contribute to BPH and prostate cancer and not Testosterone itself.
Essentially, those anabolic steroids that don't aromatize or reduce won't affect the prostate, and if you use an aromatase inhibitor along with a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, you can essentially take care of this indirect problem with Testosterone. Aside from that, steroid-induced prostate hypertrophy is usually caused from high dosages of exogenous Testosterone, not from replacement dosages.
Lastly, they should be sure to differentiate those androgens that are 17-alpha alkylated from those that aren't since only those that are 17-AA have been shown to cause liver dysfunction. Even so, when using those 17-AA, liver dysfunction generally occurs with prolonged usage, which isn't encountered when following the usual cycling plans.
Oh, and be sure to inform them that the more lean body mass you have, the longer you'll live, at least by correlation

Tweetnice read.. but what i have gathered is that testosterone isnt a steroid because its natural in your body. Grant that BB that use test are obviously using it way over what the HRT dosage is. But isnt test a lot better/safer than actual anabolic steroids because anabolic steroids are derivatives of testosterone and therefor are have a modification of the testosterone structure so that it is not natural in your body. but your body recongnizes test and test does a lot of good things for your body which is why when people that are older and have less of it, when they get the HRT then they feel somewhat better feeling and thier bodies are heathier? If i am wrong please correct me, but from a lot of bros that seem like they know their stuff have told me this and i have read it in a couple of articles and also my dad is a pharmacist (actually has a PH.D, not jsut a perscription filler at the stores). but anyway please enliten me if i am wrong.

Your reasoning is not bad in theory; however, it is unfortunately wrong. The body makes a specific amount of test to support specific functions. It a normal person, it makes all that it needs.
High (extrogenous) test levels increase increase androgens and aromatazation of test into estrogen and DHT. High levels of all three of things things are unhealthy can can lead to hairloss, prostate problems, acne (DHT+androgens). ALso, it can lead to gyno (estrogen) and cholesterol and lipid problems. The body,in a natural state, is in homestasis, if you mess one thing up, many other bodyily systems go as well.
BTW-test is a steroid beause of its 4 carbon rings, just like estrogen and corisol are steroids. 4 carbon ring-nothing else.
