Increasing Testosterone Levels
Modern Medicine vs. Natural

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Modern medicine and pharmaceutical companies have found solutions for many human ailments. Fortunately for men, low testosterone does have a number modern medicine treatments; however, at Elevate-T we believe that men should use these as a last resort only after attempting to increase testosterone levels naturally. In this blog, we will discuss some of modern medicine’s solutions so you can understand the benefits and complications of those treatments.

Inject Testosterone Directly into Muscle

We start with the obvious solution and the one associated with illegal sports medicine. But it is also used in normal treatment. The testosterone injection goes directly into muscle tissue enabling absorbtion into the blood stream. Body Builders like this option due to its low costs and immediate, “boosting” effect. In addition, dosing is infrequent, maybe once every two to four months. However, this pharmaceutical solution has side effects such as the “roller coaster” effect where a man will experience sexual and emotional highs and lows as the injection gives an initial boost, then wears off until the next injection. Also, some injections cause the testosterone levels of a man to be higher than that of most untreated men, which can be dangerous.

The Patch

Another possible solution is a patch for testosterone therapy such as Testoderm TTS TD. These patches are applied to the scrotum or to an arm, back or the buttocks. This may be a solution for those who do not want to visit the doctor often, or those who despise needles. However, the list of side effects is long with effects such as: sever bladder contractions that cause frequent urination, urinary tract infection, painful erection, liver problems, enlarged prostate, various types of nausea or Diarrhea, and even depression. The site also lists a possibility of being unable to get an erection or having altered ideas about sex.  Some of these side effects are the exact opposite of the desired outcome.

The Pill

Finally, oral treatments are sometimes prescribed. However, these treatments may not help with the low testosterone levels, as the absorption of the drug can be limited. In addition, the pharmaceutical oral solution can sometimes be very hard on the liver.

Modern Medicine vs. Natural Methods

While many pharmaceutical solutions for low testosterone exist, men should note that none of these solutions address the root cause of low testosterone which is low production. In each case, the answer is to give the man the ‘missing’ testosterone which will, in fact, further lower the man’s own internal production as the man’s body will wrongly think it is producing enough. At Elevate-T, we believe that simply replacing ‘missing’ testosterone should be the used only as a last resort. We have developed a simple but effective top 10 natural ways to increase your testosterone production. For most men, we belive if you follow that list you will have more energy, more libido and feel like an elevated man without paying us or any doctor a single penny.

Additionally, if you seeking to kick start your testosterone production through natural means than Elevate-T also offers a supplement containing both natural libido increasing herbs and testosterone boosting minerals. This all natural supplement for men helps your own body increase its testosterone levels. Our committment to helping men increase their natural testosterone production includes a guarantee that will refund your money if the supplement doesn’t work for you.
