I’ve been asking myself the six questions, you know: Who, what when where how and why. I read that doctors in Italy are studying the pathophysiological mechanism of synthetic testosterone.

This week, President Obama signed into law the 21st Century Cures Act. Congress has approved the $6 billion public health initiative, which specifically dedicates $1 billion over the next two years to providing treatment to people suffering from heroin, prescription, or illicit opioid addiction.

Charlie Sheen “More Than Two and A Half Men”
You probably have your opinions about Charlie Sheen and his behavior that’s okay; hang with me on this one.

It was a lot ofRead More

One said, “My husband started taking testosterone and he became an angry, aggressive sex driven person,”Read More

Look at that Face
Look at that face! That’s what Donald Trump said about his rival Carly Fiorina in his campaign for President. While he uses his mouth like boxing gloves and his speech is generally aggressive, Carly Fiorina remains calm in the wake of insults and criticism. Is their behavior a difference in gender? Martian men, Venusian women. No. It’s their personalities. But I want to warn what happens when personalities change and those changes are caused by overdosing on testosterone replacement therapy. And you can see it their faces. Today’s buzzword forRead More
