play00:36

balance my hormones we're here with a

play00:37

special question time with nelson Virgil

play00:40

he's the author of several books and has

play00:42

a very big background in the TRT

play00:44

community so we're very honored to have

play00:46

Nelson with us today

play00:47

I know Stan how are you hey hey guys how

play00:50

you they I know Cynthia thanks I guess

play00:54

whilst we're talking about the

play00:55

nandrolone maybe we can talk about you

play00:57

know your experiences in the TRT world

play00:59

with nandrolone being used

play01:01

IATI and some of the of the effects that

play01:05

iran has a very special place in my

play01:09

heart

play01:09

okay no he's for obvious reasons I was

play01:12

when I started testosterone I really did

play01:15

not start the starter alone I start to

play01:17

start from with not alone and alone the

play01:21

brand name is is they can travel in and

play01:24

the bodybuilding world they call it

play01:25

theta okay we don't call the deck

play01:28

anymore because there is nandrolone

play01:30

and to be honest with you there the term

play01:32

deca kind of a controlling kind of turns

play01:35

me off because I'm trying to shift the

play01:38

clinical world to the clinical use of

play01:41

the Underland or the bodybuilding and

play01:43

there's nothing wrong with very building

play01:44

my way I'm I'm kind of a hobby of the

play01:46

bodybuilder but I want to shift the

play01:49

stigma of not only nandrolone but other

play01:53

other compounds that are FDA approved

play01:55

the FDA in United States approved

play01:58

nandrolone

play01:58

in 1962 most of you guys you definitely

play02:02

I'm too young I was I was probably three

play02:05

four years old and 1962 for the

play02:10

treatment of anemia and

play02:12

it has been used since then of label and

play02:16

off-label means doctors can prescribe it

play02:19

legally in the United States if there is

play02:21

some evidence some studies that show

play02:24

benefits or something else that was not

play02:26

approved for and so we started getting

play02:30

obviously in the in the early 1990s HIV

play02:35

data with wasting disease in my country

play02:38

I'm from Venezuela I remember when I

play02:40

used to when I was growing up you would

play02:43

give their two old men that had you know

play02:46

frailty that were very frail you were

play02:48

given back up that's that's what he was

play02:50

prescribed back then at least in in

play02:52

South America so here obviously the

play02:56

anabolic steroid control at in the 90s

play02:59

made all this crazy stuff you know

play03:03

nandrolone illegal for non clinical use

play03:06

so obviously we know what happened then

play03:09

it was kind of crazy and still but we're

play03:11

going through all that

play03:11

yes but nandrolone is opening up united

play03:15

states they use of nano known as a

play03:16

prescription as a as a legally

play03:18

prescribed product and I'll show some

play03:21

data real quick because I it really is

play03:24

is growing here in United States I never

play03:26

thought I would see the day so I did

play03:29

we're not alone was gonna be used beyond

play03:32

HIV wasting I wanted to push it for

play03:36

cancer wasting oncologists who haven't

play03:39

been really open-minded some of them

play03:41

have and we have very little some later

play03:44

but it is opening up from one big reason

play03:47

and it's it's basically show the

play03:53

nandrolone basically we started to see

play03:56

data from Houston I mean Houston has

play03:58

become kind of a mecca for research to

play04:01

from with the folks from from Baylor

play04:05

College of Medicine dr. relief showed so

play04:07

it's a friend of mine call back and some

play04:09

others so I'm very also very lucky to be

play04:12

Houston because I talk to them directly

play04:15

we share a lot of information but

play04:17

they've done a Studies on that alone

play04:19

they can wait for a joint pain in men

play04:22

with low testosterone these are men that

play04:25

we're taking testosterone

play04:26

they're complaining about a lot of

play04:28

showing pains a lot of these guys are

play04:29

going to the gym obviously some of us

play04:32

you know tend to have issues with even

play04:34

with shoulders or you know hips whatever

play04:39

so they actually found really and this

play04:41

is a very recent I think it was 99 2019

play04:46

trying to get the date - yes 2019

play04:51

published and they saw a dramatic

play04:54

decrease in pain and joint pain this is

play04:59

actually a measure of pain aroma chroma

play05:02

toid arthritis pain scale and this is

play05:04

the this axis and here so different

play05:07

degrees of that but here in the total

play05:08

you can see before treatment and after

play05:10

treatment pain was dramatically reduced

play05:12

and that's something that the

play05:14

bodybuilding community has known for a

play05:15

long time that Becca

play05:17

not alone has been always known to

play05:20

improve you know joint aches and even

play05:23

flexibility sometimes for those that are

play05:25

having issues so I'm glad to see they

play05:29

folks at Baylor being unafraid about

play05:31

this and actually really trying it out

play05:33

on min so we're starting to see a lot

play05:37

more data on this and a lot of a few

play05:39

doctors I will say a lot prescribing it

play05:42

legally not alone in the United States

play05:44

is available through compounding

play05:46

pharmacies

play05:47

why because what son back in the days it

play05:52

was he was played like so welcome first

play05:55

they may take a drug Lin and they

play05:59

eventually faced it out it was I think

play06:01

they they probably got scared with

play06:03

anabolic steroid control at etc etc and

play06:06

other more expensive treatments for

play06:09

anemia like Ipoh came out and obviously

play06:12

Pharma always wants to the more

play06:14

expensive option for profits so and I

play06:17

don't know what's dropped in the middle

play06:19

of our HIV crisis it was dropped meaning

play06:24

no more another known even brand name or

play06:26

company so I rushed to compound in

play06:28

Foreman since I say listen you have to

play06:30

save us we need our neither look for way

play06:32

see and they started making it so that

play06:34

was my first contact with compounding

play06:37

now I'm very good relationships with

play06:39

compounding pharmacies and the

play06:40

compounding industry right so anyways it

play06:43

is not available to like a brand-name

play06:45

Pharma but it is available by

play06:47

prescription through compounding here in

play06:49

the United States so many doctors are

play06:51

already prescribing it with testosterone

play06:52

because not alone like any anabolic

play06:55

shuts down your own testosterone

play06:56

production your own endogenous

play06:58

production so you don't want to

play07:00

obviously have erectile dysfunction and

play07:02

sexual dysfunction after a few weeks of

play07:04

three days and then some people say well

play07:07

there's a number long is known for

play07:08

having nandrolone big or you know where

play07:11

yeah yeah yeah and you know I really I'm

play07:17

not one of those that believes that I

play07:19

you know they may be some truth and

play07:21

somehow but if you don't do it with the

play07:23

proper dose of testosterone you may have

play07:26

very tell this function like anything

play07:28

else on a bar which is auction alone is

play07:30

another legally prescribed anabolic for

play07:34

clinical use we used to read or in HIV

play07:36

and some cancer and some pediatrics and

play07:38

burn patients it's also being described

play07:41

there's a brand name their source of

play07:43

compounding so in the States we believe

play07:46

it or not things are moving forward when

play07:49

it comes to getting this stigma out of

play07:51

the clinical use of these compounds I

play07:54

don't know whether this is a trend that

play07:57

we're seeing worldwide because the data

play08:01

is actually being presented by good

play08:03

respected medical schools so I think it

play08:07

is gonna get better when it comes to

play08:09

less stigma more access I lived in the

play08:12

States and and I don't know hopefully

play08:15

maybe my next book should be about

play08:17

nandrolone in you know clinical use of

play08:19

nandrolone instead of hiv-related

play08:23

I seen I don't know expanding at least

play08:26

the United States because it's also good

play08:29

for building muscle as we all know it

play08:32

increases it like any anabolic any it

play08:36

decreases sex hormone-binding globulin

play08:39

and increases obviously free

play08:40

testosterone which you know we know free

play08:42

testosterone tends to be the most you

play08:45

know important or active metabolite of

play08:48

testosterone or portion of testosterone

play08:51

and

play08:53

the benefits I'm biased I use another

play08:56

loan for I don't know 20 years weekly my

play09:02

cardiovascular system is good my

play09:04

prostate is good in HIV you used it for

play09:09

a long time many people higher doses

play09:11

then I prescribe now 200 milligrams a

play09:13

week is the dose I used to use 400 and

play09:18

you know I don't know anybody had died

play09:20

of a heart attack hey I'm not getting

play09:22

coffee I think all anabolics even

play09:25

testosterone a higher doses tends to

play09:27

have a negative effect not only on

play09:30

hematocrit which is the portion of blood

play09:33

the regular cells percent or portion of

play09:37

your blood that makes your blood thicker

play09:39

either higher doses of testosterone or

play09:43

nandrolone or any anabolic decreases HDL

play09:46

which is a good cholesterol and increase

play09:50

blood pressure what a retention which is

play09:54

not good for the kidneys

play09:56

there's no liver toxicity thank God on

play09:59

injectables except winstrol but we don't

play10:01

have that legal here in the United

play10:03

States so there are ways to do to use

play10:06

these compounds I had lower dose maybe

play10:08

100 milligrams see each other and 50

play10:11

million on testosterone and alone a week

play10:12

and I don't know obviously not for a

play10:15

long term even though I did use it for a

play10:17

long term and back then I was really

play10:20

terrified about loosing weight more than

play10:23

now so I see I see a trend and the trend

play10:27

is positive here in the states the

play10:30

government has in the DEA hasn't gotten

play10:32

involved in this kind of use and

play10:34

hopefully they want I think what we have

play10:39

lacked in the United States and around

play10:41

the world this activism for men's health

play10:45

in HIV we were active we were tearing

play10:49

things down we were tying ourselves to

play10:51

you know to two fences we were blocking

play10:55

traffic we were dying obviously that

play10:57

degree of of desperation will probably

play11:02

never be present in Miss health activism

play11:05

but I really dream

play11:07

before I die I'm a 61 year old man that

play11:09

we will reach a day where we're gonna

play11:11

have activism around men's health about

play11:14

around access to hormones that we need

play11:17

about you know other things that but

play11:21

obviously we are we are experiencing

play11:24

right now but we don't speak up because

play11:26

nobody has taught us how to do so I see

play11:30

it a lot in the states I see it in other

play11:32

countries where men are very frustrated

play11:34

and and doctors don't seem to be

play11:39

changing their mind so I think in a way

play11:42

I'm not saying that we need something

play11:45

desperate to be activists but there's no

play11:48

reason by men's health and women's

play11:51

health obviously year so that's a

play11:53

separate issue that and you don't know

play11:55

there a lot of we're really good women's

play11:57

activist for women's health activist so

play11:59

anyways I'm getting and getting off so

play12:02

it's a good point is because I even in

play12:05

the UK like you we talk about it this

play12:06

study comes out let's just say they do a

play12:08

few on Europe as well they do a few good

play12:10

studies on the benefits of something

play12:12

like nandrolone or or you know even just

play12:14

testosterone and things like that and

play12:16

then a patient maybe presents with said

play12:19

evidence you know the doctor the the

play12:22

even of a doctor is is really open to

play12:25

like changing their practice through

play12:27

evidence and things like that the

play12:29

scrutiny of like the bureaucracy that

play12:31

covers the gmz for example covering

play12:34

doctors as an example and things like

play12:37

that if if they if doctors and

play12:39

particularly with that NHS which is

play12:41

massively overpowering further practice

play12:43

in the UK and Europe anyway but if they

play12:45

if they're they not are they're not

play12:47

following guidelines so guidelines have

play12:50

now become rules so even in America

play12:53

where you're pushing forwards is much

play12:54

easier for a doctor to go hey great new

play12:56

study by this person you know really

play12:59

good outcomes I could justify this you

play13:01

know against the board if I was

play13:03

questioned because of the new evidences

play13:05

come out that takes years I mean look

play13:08

how far we know just getting CRT in

play13:10

hormone therapies in the UK you know

play13:13

it's way behind the US and even if a

play13:16

doctors like the best doctor that's so

play13:18

so minimal to it they you know they

play13:20

got this restriction abate they'll be no

play13:23

sword of Damocles about their hair just

play13:25

waiting to be caught up on it so it's

play13:28

really difficult even in that in the

play13:29

actual field of medicine just to get the

play13:32

basics of things so I think even if

play13:35

nandrolone for example is one of those

play13:37

things where maybe it becomes you know

play13:40

more mainstream I think it's gonna be

play13:41

even more delayed can't be positive I

play13:44

think it even be more delayed coming to

play13:46

the UK what do you think Mike do you

play13:47

think yeah I think part of it is the

play13:50

cost as well I mean we were told even

play13:52

about two RT being available in the UK

play13:54

to most men on the NHS was they they saw

play13:57

the mistake they made with HRT for women

play13:59

and they didn't want to go down that

play14:00

huge potential cost so they've actually

play14:02

lowered to very low standards you know

play14:05

even giving trt so I much doubt they

play14:07

would prescribe nan alone for really

play14:09

anything other than what's on the

play14:11

package insert the package leaflet so

play14:14

that which is usually I think bone

play14:15

fracture or osteopenia or osteoporosis

play14:18

but um you know you need to talk about

play14:21

the mail there the access from male

play14:22

health mean even mental health if you

play14:24

look at suicide rate for men you know I

play14:26

think it's worldwide they even in the UK

play14:28

and Europe it's it's really like mental

play14:30

health has been cut in the NHS which is

play14:32

our main supply of you know sort of

play14:35

medical care it's just massively cut so

play14:38

you're missing out on all of these

play14:39

things and you know I think you're right

play14:41

there is something missing but

play14:43

fortunately we you know we've got the

play14:44

ability in the UK and like I think other

play14:47

healthcare systems in Canada where we

play14:49

can offer private health care to it to

play14:51

our patients but unfortunately the the

play14:54

regulator's also on to what's good for

play14:56

the NHS make big try to make it the same

play14:58

for the private sector yeah what has

play15:01

really changed things here in the states

play15:04

and he's fortunate is an unfortunate

play15:07

thing is that all of this progress most

play15:11

of our progress in the hormone field has

play15:13

happened because we have a dual system

play15:15

we have the insurance system which as

play15:18

you well know in the UK here in the

play15:20

states is very complicated because

play15:24

discussion political discussion for many

play15:26

years and we also have the bit self paid

play15:30

or were a field this has the self paleo

play15:32

or the cash basis field which is is

play15:36

where all the progress is happening so

play15:38

unfortunately for you to have access you

play15:41

definitely have to have the cash is not

play15:43

super expensive but it's it's there and

play15:46

also the fact that we have a very strong

play15:48

and they're trying to dismantle and I'm

play15:51

go against them a compounding industry

play15:53

that the FDA and the DEA unfortunately

play15:57

all of them mostly the FDA and trying to

play16:01

put more and more restrictions and you

play16:03

know there's some issues there anyways

play16:05

I'm gonna get into that but we do have a

play16:07

strong compounding industry where things

play16:11

can be sold lower prices and obviously

play16:14

and on a cash basis on our self pay

play16:17

basis and that has made a humongous

play16:19

difference when it comes to off-label

play16:21

prescriptions meaning prescriptions

play16:25

where dr. Shah prescribing legally but

play16:27

it wasn't approved for that purpose but

play16:29

there's some data behind it

play16:30

so without the compounding industry this

play16:33

would not have happened without axis

play16:36

because nan-oh long as I said was

play16:37

abandoned even in the middle of the HIV

play16:40

crisis that we had abandoned by Pharma

play16:42

and then compounding picked it up the

play16:46

same thing with HCG ACG has is a brand

play16:49

name also in the states like it is

play16:52

everywhere else but compounding makes it

play16:55

all cheaper they're trying they're now

play16:58

basically is successfully trying to shut

play17:01

down that part of the compounding

play17:02

industry and we're obviously fighting

play17:05

here and that's why it means health

play17:07

activist items that I have to do this

play17:10

year and so an testosterone also

play17:13

testosterone

play17:15

we have many brand names many Pharma me

play17:17

testosterone products and they're

play17:19

covered in my book but the main ones

play17:22

they're sauce or injections and creams

play17:24

are made by compounding out a lot

play17:26

cheaper price so what's happening here

play17:28

in the states as the insurance companies

play17:29

are denying prescription or coverage

play17:32

payment for prescriptions of

play17:34

testosterone for men that do not qualify

play17:37

meaning if you have 350 nanograms who

play17:41

you guys use that no mores there I think

play17:42

it's probably a

play17:44

I don't know so here they they just

play17:53

don't want to cover so doctors can or

play17:56

and patients can reach with the same

play17:58

prescription a compounding pharmacy and

play18:00

they will get it they will get the

play18:02

product so if it wasn't for that

play18:04

flexibility we would be in a really

play18:07

different shape in the United States so

play18:09

that has been something that most men in

play18:12

the states don't know how lucky we are

play18:15

and I need to educate men that hey we

play18:18

cannot lose that option so we need to

play18:20

actively protect the company Pharmacy as

play18:23

long as a compounding pharmacy is

play18:25

following the rules safety and sterility

play18:27

rules one compounding pharmacy was

play18:30

responsible for the death of many many

play18:32

people with meningitis because they

play18:35

didn't have to reality this is a chorus

play18:37

coracoid steroid for in fact for

play18:40

Hospital use then meningitis in in in

play18:43

people died so honestly oh this FDA

play18:46

changed the regulations but without the

play18:49

compounding industry I would not be able

play18:51

to talk about nandrolone HCG and that's

play18:54

for so or whatever it is else that we

play18:56

talk about so hopefully in the UK it

play19:00

could be a movement where you guys have

play19:01

a parallel system of a strong

play19:04

compounding industry and in a mimic what

play19:08

we're doing here you guys have something

play19:10

we do not have is the national health

play19:12

care system which obviously the states

play19:14

is trying to get to I don't know what

play19:17

anything it's a plus you have to go

play19:20

broke you guys don't go broke like we do

play19:23

here when we get sick but at the same

play19:25

time if you want to get anything that

play19:28

off-label for that system I'm sure you

play19:31

get shut down and you said and for

play19:34

obvious reasons but having a parallel to

play19:37

systems where people can move to if they

play19:39

the system is not working for them is

play19:41

the way to go but hey we're talking

play19:43

about politics

play19:45

move on to the next question

play19:48

do you just quickly last bill matter do

play19:50

you think there's a place for long term

play19:52

low-dose nandrolone with CRT I know

play19:54

somebody's gonna ask I really believe

play19:56

you know they

play19:57

tl I don't do not alone anymore there's

play20:00

a good reason why I mean I am really

play20:02

concerned about the HDL drop in

play20:05

cholesterol high density yeah I am so

play20:10

and I do my blood pressure goes up I'm

play20:13

borderline or with some blood pressure

play20:14

and I've tried many blood pressure

play20:16

medications they all give me fatigue or

play20:18

IDI or something so I'm right now on

play20:21

nervous but they blood pressure I think

play20:24

everybody reaches I believe I should

play20:27

have a graph on that a barrier at wall

play20:30

every man has a wall when they come TRT

play20:35

or nitrile or anything when it comes to

play20:39

dough see you can they hire the doors it

play20:43

doesn't really mean you feel better and

play20:45

people are finding that out yes higher

play20:47

the dose more hematocrit more blood

play20:50

pressure problems more more as I said

play20:53

the HDL issue so when you had another

play20:56

loan to testosterone you're also adding

play20:58

an androgen that would cause more of

play21:00

that even the same thing with HCG when

play21:03

you add HCG to testosterone you can even

play21:06

you know you can add on to those typical

play21:09

androgenic side effects so the dose and

play21:13

the duration has to you guys that's what

play21:16

you guys do obviously you have known in

play21:18

clinic you are the duration of 19 or so

play21:22

men long some people are really good at

play21:25

a hundred milligrams a week with an HDL

play21:27

of 35 to 40 here which is not bad and a

play21:32

blood pressure is normal and as a matter

play21:34

of grid that that's a requirement to go

play21:36

to block the nation every three months

play21:39

and then you know you could to go so

play21:41

there are many variables as you well

play21:43

know that's what you

play21:45

ok so ok thanks for watching mr.

play21:49
