Acknowledge the Risks and Limitations
The need for an answer now has a way of bringing people to willfully blind themselves to the realities of uncertainty and risk. This is a familiar sight in that part of the "anti-aging" marketplace that attempts to manipulate common physiological aspects of health by the brute-force application of hormones - pouring fuel on the fire and praying it burns the way you want, in other words. "Roughly 2.4 million prescriptions for testosterone were filled in the U.S. in 2004 -- more than twice the number filled just four years earlier ... the benefits of boosting testosterone levels in otherwise healthy aging men experiencing natural declines in hormone levels are not as well understood. ... Patients and their physicians should be able to make therapeutic decisions with a clear idea of what the risks and benefits are, but in this case that isn't possible. There is still a lot of uncertainty about this treatment ... We have a situation where physicians and patients are essentially in the same boat. Neither is fully informed about testosterone therapy, because the long-term research just hasn't been done."

So what, some people care about the quality of their lives as well.
