"Now, any man with a testosterone level of less than 200ng/dl can walk into a doctors [sic] office and get a life long prescription for these steroids as a form of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). (at a much inflated cost from pharmaceutical companies)"
The reason a male patient with a TT of <200ng/dl may see a qualified physician and receive a legal prescription for testosterone is because he has a proven medical morbidity. The risks of hypogonadism, and even low-normal T levels, are well documented, as well as TRT's profound ability to treat same.
VERY few anabolic/androgenic compounds are FDA approved, and the ones which are were so approved in order to treat known medical conditions. There are no medical indications for the attainment of muscle mass in absence of legitimate wasting disease, or recovery during the hyper-metabolic phase of burn treatment. Those promoting the use of steroids for performance enhancing purposes do great disservice to those suffering the recognized hypogonadic state (roughly half the men over the age of fifty) by employing purely proprietary comments such as these.
