[quote=“triceratopses”][quote=“triceratopses”][quote=“headhonchoII”][He’s talking rubbish, take it from somebody who is actually involved in the clinical side of this. Hormones and testing of such is a very finicky and little understood area of medicine. You need to relate ratios of hormones ,check for cross reactivity, check against age, sex and myriad other things…and even then there is not consensus on some basic matters such as testosterone replacement therapy (which has a huge marketing push behind it in the US to get aging males to test testo levels and buy the stuff $$$). Now it probably is useful for some, but jumping to broad conclusions when it’s clearly a cultural thing in Taiwan…don’t do it

No, you are. Unless you’re an actual endocrinologist your knowledge is insignificant compared to mine. Also what you have written about ratios etc is offtopic since not only is it completely basic and common knowledge but also taken into consideration in all studies.
The hair and/or lack of it as well as mental states is directly linked to their hormones. It is not a coincidence that low dht always results in certain mental dispositions, lack of hair, and child appearance. As well as other things. Read studies which show what happens when you administer DHT compounds. Then read the studies in people with naturally low DHT.[/quote]
Also its not a coincidence that it is very difficult for them to build muscle yet much easier in general for black people who in general have higher DHT levels. Do me a favor, inject DHT for a while and observe your transformation into a man with very very different mental states ie. masculine mental states, very different body full of hair that resembles a man, transformation into a male voice, widening of the jaw, and so on. Then come back and state that “very little is understood”. The specifics of most things in the body is little understood. But we are not speaking about them. We are talking about very well known things which millions of people on DHT compounds have directly observed.
DHT is THE sex hormone. Low levels will result in corresponding sexual behavior, sexual function, sexual traits.[/quote]
I’m already a man, I don’t need to inject myself to be more a man, lol.
There is no one sex hormone, it’s a complex mixture of molecules called the steroid hormones that share precursors and they link into all types of processes in the body. DHT is only one metabolite of dozens. Historically it was almost impossible to measure hormone levels accurately or specifically, it’s getting better now, but we still find it very challenging to measure the hormones at low levels even though they could be doing things that are clinically significant. Certainly if you take testosterone you might get bigger muscles or grow more hair (no thanks), but what other impact may this have? It’s a risk.
Take vitamin D as an example of the supplementation industry. It has been linked to hundreds of chronic diseases, but there is no consensus as to what is the right dosage! Also all the supplements for vitamin D are D2, made from yeast and synthetically, while it is D3 which is the one that is actually useful for us and that is made from sunlight exposure on our skin. People have been throwing billions of dollars down the drain because yes, this is tricky and hard to measure stuff and there is a lot of money to be made by pushing pills at people!
Don’t even get me started on pain management and anti anxiety medication.
