Let’s be honest, most of us have uttered that question at least once in our lives from 8 -80 years of age. It seems that as we approach 50 years old that questions is uttered more often. Fatigue, reduced sexual desire or performance, low energy, reduced strength and muscle loss, increased weight, poor quality skin and hair, and emotional ups and downs seem to be more common and noticeable than in the past.

There are many methods to deliver testosterone. One of the oldest and most well studied methods is the ‘implantation of subcutaneous testosterone pellets’. This method of delivery is also the most convenient, most reliable, and possibly the most cost effective way to deliver testosterone.

Hello All.
Clarification on Brazilian Hydroxychloroquine study. The study was NOT stopped as some writers have erroneously reported, They were looking at two strengths of dose. The arm of the study of VERY high dose of 1200 mg per day was stopped due to issues of arrhythmia. The normal and usual dose part of the study was continued and the high dose patients were moved into the normal dose study. Normal dose is 400mg per day and can be used up typically up to 800 mgs per day. The low arm of this study is at 900 mg per day. The 1200 mg dose is what the Chinese are saying they used. Therefore the Brazilian study is not contrary to the USA typical recommendation by your doctor.

BTW: I'm not taking a position on this, I just wish to share with you the actual fact of the study and not the misrepresented writings that the entire study was scrapped.

You need to find health care professionals that you can rely on to separate truth from fiction.

Time for a Harvard minute. Problems with medicines blocking B12 as well as other nutrients. Stomach acid is required to bind your B12 to Intrinsic Factor, made in the stomach, to carry the B12 into your body. Intrinsic factor can reduce as we age. However, even more common is taking stomach acid inhibitors, like Tagamet, Zantac, Prilosec, and even Tums that reduce your acid causing low B12. Fatigue, nerve and memory issues, burning and numbness in feet toes and fingers to name a few symptoms. Diuretics for blood pressure can deplete Magnesium as well as potassium with leg cramping, cardiac arrhythmias, and fatigue may be the result. BTW, too much bromine from hot tubs or in yellow soda pop (brominated oil) can compete for the iodine in your body and thyroid function. For you or your parents or family or friends, make sure they check things out and then take steps to stay balanced and healthy.

Stress, Anger, Anxiety. Who's got it? Who wants it? Who's gotta have it? Deep inside one's inner soul and mind, you really know that staying angry, or stressed is not really good for you. It could be about a job, relationship, finances, politics, political correctness, victimization, poverty, your side vs my side. Whatever. The point is that staying in that mindset is counterproductive to a meaningful, happy and healthy life. Of course there will be normal and natural things which will upset us all. But the key is to find direction, and not hostility in dealing with the issue at hand. Hostility hurts your immune system and data shows those individuals have many more health problems in addition the the anger in which they simmer. Check out this article and live a better life. : www.spahrcenter.com
