Milestones Publishing Testosterone Replacement Therapy: A Recipe for Success

I was wanting a book that covers treatment protocols and pathways for men who have been diagnosed as secondary hypogonadism. The whole book is a great read for guys who are primary hypogonadism or secondary hypogonadism. I am planning to go on HCG Monotherapy trial and the chapter on that and SERMs such as clomid is excellent and was my reason for making the purchase. It has given me invaluable knowledge to help aid my doctor to treat me. Best book I have bought and I have bought many TRT books. Nice coverage of information in a single book which also alleviate any fears of TRT treatment. Fantastic

Some valuable information which for me was a game changer. The author is a proponent for a transdermal delivery and the application tips alone are well worth the book.

Doctor's in Canada have zero clue about Testosterone and how to administer it. Even Endocrinologists are ignorant. All doctor's should buy and read this for their patients sake. Testosterone is NOT dangerous... your ignorance is. Great book Dr. Crisler!!!!

As someone who has been familiar with Dr Crisler's work for more than a decade, I was excited to purchase Recipe for Success. Knowing he was likely updating his opinions (based on his most recent clinical experiences), his viewpoints and new data did not disappoint. It is absolutely loaded with highly relevant and recent information on optimizing the hormonal profiles of hypogonadal men. It is written so any MAN can understand and utilize the practical tips in their pursuit of health and happiness.I am writing a forthcoming book on TRT and there were some nuggets of wisdom I was able to glean and incorporate into my own research. John is a pioneer in the world of TRT and endocrinology and all of us who live and breathe in this realm owe him a sincere debt of gratitude. I can't recommend this book more stridently if you are a man looking to live a longer and stronger life.Thank you Dr Crisler!

There is good information in this book, but it is technical and not always clear. Fact is, nobody really has the answers. More research is needed. Results so far have been inconclusive, even contradictory.Meanwhile, Testosterone Replacement Therapy is complicated and can cause permanent changes in endocrine function, so don’t try this at home! Don’t do it unless it is clearly necessary, and then only with competent professional supervision. This book points out symptoms that might indicate a need for TRT, but laboratory tests are imprecise and unreliable. So don’t chase numbers on lab printouts, says the author. Don’t treat in the absence of real symptoms. If a man has a healthy libido and erectile function he does not need this therapy, which can upset delicate hormonal balances. “Adding, or changing the dose of, a medication is likened to dropping a pebble into a pond.” That said, “low normal” is not good enough because “a man’s body runs on testosterone.”This book discusses blood and urine tests, but makes no mention of saliva testing. Men who don’t like needles should be advised that this program involves frequent blood testing, and its delivery systems include injections. TRT can cause thickening of blood, which may require therapeutic blood draws. Each blood draw changes the nutritional and immune statuses of the patient.The book has little to say about prostate cancer, except that it does not contraindicate TRT. Consideration of this book is recommended to men who clearly need the therapy. Illustrated, but no index or bibliography.
