Law2Doc said:There are plenty of endocrinologists who make careers out of studying the ins and outs of HCG. I would be inclined to heed their warnings over some body builder. Note that a disproportionate number of body builders, pro wrestlers and pro athletes seem to be having health issues later in life, which may be related to substances they dabbled in during their careers. Even Gov. Arnold had heart issues.
I'll reiterate. Very few endocrinologists are aware of HCG and it's off label uses in male bodybuilders. Very few.
I never endorsed the use of HCG and other post cycle therapies that bodybuilders use. Nor would I suggest that they would be free from longer term side effects. Again, my philosophy is that unless there is an innate deficiency, it's best to allow your body to continue on auto-pilot (don't mess with Mother Nature).
But, it's a fact that there have been many (far too many) dudes out there that have taken things to the ultimate extreme. And some of these guys have diligently documented their short term effects. There are elements in the bodybuilding community (not all) that are obsessed with this stuff. They do their homework using the minimal published research available with respect to performance enhancement. They perform mini-clinical trials that would otherwise never occur due to ethical concerns.
