<PALIGN=left>I have a client that's also a physician. Here's what he says about "Androgel"- another type of topical androgen:

>Hey Sean,
>I use Tribulus terrestris every other day (along with Siberian and Korean
>Ginseng), in the AM before eating, it encourages the pituitary ("master
>gland" in the brain) to release LH (Luteinizing Hormone) that causes the
>testes to release testosterone - by cycling it every other day you don't
>develop a "shut down" of your own pituitary drive or axis.
>When you take Androgens by mouth - absorbed via the gut (like
>androstendione - a la Mark Maguire's claim to muscle development - esp.
>forearms) you can get aromatization (conversion of androgen to estrogen)
>and subsequent BREAST development (AKA gynecomastia). This doesn't happen
>with transdermal absorption of testosterone. You can also block some of
>this potential with some phytoestrogens (like SoyProtein). Phyto-estrogens
>are VERY weak compared to the estradiol even NORMal guys make in the
>adrenal gland (and FAT guys make even more in the FAT cells).
>Another trick is to get PROSCAR or Propecia (RX from the doctor). This
>will insure your prostate doesn't grow and protect you from FRONTAL
>baldness. Just complain to the doctor that your urinary stream is
>narrowing and it takes a long time to empty.
>Finally, just want to pass on another TIP, the best thing for Penis Enlargement along with
>Big Al's routines is to apply ANDROGEL 1% 5grams per packet (RX gel) every
>other day. You enhance circulation in the penis (testosterone is a
>vasodilator) and the penis will respond with growth above and beyond the
>physical "exercises". There are medical references to back this up in
>MICROMEDEX. A cream was used in young men with small penises. Both direct
>application and axillary application was used. The majority of growth was
>evidenced with direct application and no ill effects! You need a
>prescription. Go to

>RELATIVE Hypogonadism is the DX-Diagnosis. The "normal range" for males is
>listed at 300-1000 but you and I know, I'd rather be at the high range than
>the low range.
>Hope this helps.
>Big Al is a genius and his routines are well proven.
>The penis is a special body part and SIZE really does matter.
>Don't go TOO far, some of the adult entertainment stars have used topical androgens to get
>more than a foot long.
