> [TESTOSTERONE SUPPLEMENTATION] Yes, pure testosterone on the [[skin]] is safe if the diet and [[thyroid]] function are good, but it's better to try [[supplements]] of [[pregnenolone]] first, and then [[DHEA]], to normalize the testosterone production. > [LOW TESTOSTERONE: Would the addition of topical testosterone supplement work in the same direction as the diet and [[thyroid]] supplement?] Yes, I think a small supplement of testosterone will work in the same direction. > [shrunken testes from use of high doses exogenous testosterone/[[DHT]]] Testosterone and [[DHT]] aren’t toxic, so the testes probably haven’t been damaged, and would resume functioning with good nutritional support. 100 mg of [[pregnenolone]] and 5 mg of [[DHEA]] would probably help their recovery, but I think it would be good to have your LH and estrogen checked. If the LH is very high, using a little [[DHT]] for a while might be protective until it’s more normal. Coffee, [[aspirin]], [[vitamin D]], [[milk]] and cheese would also protect against high LH. > [TESTOSTERONE INJECTION] I think an oil or cream with real testosterone (and [[DHEA]]) is much better than the injections, which are usually an ester of testosterone in a toxic solvent.
