Testosterone Revealed

How to Boost Testosterone Levels, Sex Drive, Muscle Mass and the Truth about Hormone Therapy

Low testosterone or hypogonadism (the condition where levels of testosterone in the body is lower than normal), is a common disease in most parts of the world. For instance, in the USA alone almost

10% men over 30,

15% men over 40,

25% men over 50,

35% men over 65 and

40% men over 75

face issues related to low levels of testosterone. The level of awareness about hypogonadism also leaves a lot to be desired.

A few hundred years ago, degenerative mental conditions like Alzheimers and Dementia were thought of as age induced senility and loss of memory and other cognitive abilities and were considered normal as one aged. It is only recently that these were identified as bona fide diseases and the since then, the number of people found to suffer from these diseases has reached epidemic proportions.

Similarly, people have started paying due attention to hypogonadism only recently. Symptoms of hypogonadism are still considered a part of normal aging by a vast majority of people on earth, and it will take some time before it is treated as a disease and given due attention. This has also resulted in less research being done on the subject so far than what it deserves. Let us take a look at the history of testosterone treatment.

On June 1, 1889, Charles douard Brown-Squard, a French physiologist over 70 years old, reported having injected himself with a substance extracted from the testicles of guinea pigs and dogs. The injections, in his own words, ''had increased his physical strength and intellectual energy, relieved his constipation and even lengthened the arc of his urine''

In 1918, in San Quentin, a prison doctor called Dr. Leo L. Stanley, consistently reported restored health and potency after transplanting testicles of executed prisoners to those with depleted vitality. Dr Stanley eventually started substituting testicles from rams and goat and deer in less than vital prisoners and even that was a huge success. So much so that people from all walks of society actively sought him out. The prestigious Journal of Endocrinology also published his papers.

By 1935, researchers had identified testosterone as the essence of manhood.

The Journal of the American Medical Association published a paper on low testosterone level called ''The Male Climacteric'' on April 15, 1939. In it, testosterone therapy was recommended for the first time.

Back then, pushing testosterone via painful injections was the only delivery method. A patch was introduced in the 1990s but it met with limited success. In June 2000, Unimed Pharmaceuticals began selling Androgel a gel that just had to be rubbed into the skin. Gradually, many more delivery methods have come into existence and we shall find more about all that later in this eBook.
