Sorry.
I was just trying to offer some objective advice for someone who asked an honest question, I did not want to start a war here.
You know the one thing that separates me from most of you on this board (the ladies are excluded here of course)?
The fact that even though a lot of the members know who I am in real life, I still step up and speak my mind. So you can hide behind your screen names, and name call all you like, but in the end, at least I am man enough to step up and offer some advice to someone.
Since you all seem so curious about my background on WHY I know as much as I do about steroids I will give you the back story.
I acquired a lung infection while on a business trip to Winnipeg, that infection turned into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis which led to me being bed ridden and almost dying. ALL of my muscle atrophied and I was unable to carry on basic daily tasks let alone "hit the gym" to feel "better about myself". My doctor told me he wanted to put me on a combination of Concerta and a cycle of Dianabol.
I am very Zen in my approach to life, I do not drink, I do not smoke, and I do not engage in ANY recreational drugs. I eat relatively healthy, and I regularly exercise.
So when I was told I was going to have to use steroids I was just like a few of you on here, I thought my hair was going to fall out, my penis was going to stop working, and every possible side effect I had ever heard ran through my head.
So before I agreed to the Steroids I learned everything I could about them. I read hundreds of studies, and also read the complete drug profile on every steroid there was. In the end I read about 20 different books, every medical study I could get my hands on, every message board I could find, until I realized that steroids were not as bad as people made them out to be when used properly. All the horror stories you hear are people abusing steroids, or using them improperly.
So I did a couple cycles of Dbol using the doctor prescribed methods, and it worked like you would not believe. Within 4 months the muscle atrophy had been reversed. I am happy and healthy today because I did it.
Do I do it now? No.
Would I do it again? Yes.
I personally know about 23 people that use steroids and of that 23 I would honestly say that about 6 abuse them. It all depends of what kind of personality you have, and what you are seeing steroids as. If you see it as a short cut that you can use INSTEAD of hard work, then that can be where the problems come in. If you use it in a proper program WITH hard work it can be a tool that allows you to reach your goals.
Everything is dangerous if it is abused. How many people drink until their liver fails?
how many people abuse pain killers or sleeping pills?
So before you condemn everyone who uses steroids, take the time to realize that there ARE people who use them safely without side effects. I have read over 60 published medical studies from doctors that show that steroids when used as directed have no irreversible long term side effects.
Feel free to bash me now and try to show everyone how much smarter you are than me, a dumb steroid user, but I am done with this topic.
I offered my advice, you can take it or leave it. That's the great thing about free will. But I don't see the need to bash someone for doing their homework on a topic, and offering their advice based on medical research and personal experience.
