Those of you that know my work, understand that I have dedicated my life to educating the public about the benefits of responsible anabolic steroid use. And, I\'m proud to have built the world\'s largest community of bodybuilders and athletes who share an interest in anabolic steroid education.
Just when I feel like I have achieved some positive results in my campaign to educate the public about responsible anabolic steroid use, along comes a TV show or article so completely devoid of fact that it baffles the mind. The Fox News Special: "Truth About Steroids" was one such program, but as ignorant as that one was, the Florida State University newspaper The FSU View, publishes an article that makes the Fox News special on anabolic steroids look like it was created by Albert Einstein.
In his article, Looking good: Now or later?, Brendan Murphy has created the most uneducated, ignorant, fact-less, article, completely devoid of journalistic integrity, that I have ever read - and FSU published it! In the article, supposedly supported by Dan Moore, FSU health educator at the Thagard Student Health Center, Murphy claims that Anabolic Steroids can cause among other things cancer, limb loss, heart disease, heart attack, and even HIV/AIDS. It\'s propaganda and hysteria like this that has led to Congress\'s recent banning of designer steroid precursors (for more on the ban, see the gray side-bar below).
| He further writes: "The facts are there. Steroids cause men to go limp and grow boobs and they cause women to go bald and grow an unnecessarily large clitoris." When quoting Dan Moore, Murphy writes "steroids also provide a rush, which becomes addictive. You crave the rush, physically and psychologically. This is why most people take steroids intravenously, because it hits them quicker, right before they go to the gym." "Intravenously injecting steroids is primarily the reason for HIV/Aids being a side effect of usage, as many steroid users share needles" |

The entire article makes my blood boil. I hope by now, all of our readers know that injectable AAS are for intramuscular, not intravenous use.
| And what bodybuilder who spend over a grand planning and assembling the perfect cycle would find it necessary to save a few bucks by using dirty needles. It just does not make sense and is not backed up by any facts. You can read the entire article here on the FSView website. And be sure to take a look at what our members had to say in the feedback section at the end of the article. |

Here\'s a link where you can discuss this article on the Elite Fitness Discussion Forums. And, here you can find more wisdom from Dan Moore, this time on cannabis here at the site cannabisnews.com.
Finally, we\'ve got Mr. Author L. Rea\'s reaction to the article. As many of you know, my friend Mr. Author L. Rea, author of Chemical Muscle Enhancement - a quantum leap forward in the study and real world application of anabolic pharmacology for transforming your body into a muscular freak of nature - and Building the Perfect Beast - the first and only guide for the advanced steroid user.
Steroid Wars!

The Value of Education is Priceless - The Value of an Educator Without Knowledge Is That of Tuition Fees minus meals?
Ah, the days of empty-minded pursuit of knowledge and women in short dresses! You just have to love the times when each of us aspired to exceed that of our teachers and professors during collegiate years due to the simple lust for a more profound understanding of a subject. Did I mention women in short dresses?
Once again I find myself in awe of the media and political driven education standards that are accepted as lofty by the uneducated, and idiocy by those of us with too many pieces of academia lettered toilet paper.
| Enter The Research Journalist... A recent editorial by Brendan Murphy on 9/9/04 shared the combined knowledge of Florida State University (FSU) educators and health care professionals as well as the research talents of so-called media experts in relation to steroid use. (One can only assume that the credentialed et. al. was referring to Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids rather than hormonal birth control, corticoid glucocorticoid or mineralcorticoid steroids, but after reviewing the piece I doubt they would know either). Brendan (hopefully wearing a short dress?... I can only hope this is a woman as I am not sure of the spelling) opened her piece in the FSU Student Newspaper sharing her in depth research with... "Steroids -- also known as gym candy, pumpers, stackers, A\'s, anabolics, roids, balls, bulls and juice -- have many known side effects, including cancer, liver damage, limb loss, heart disease/heart attack, baldness, HIV/AIDS, pain/difficulty urinating, and stunted growth in adolescents." Gym candy, pumpers and balls? I am still working on the limb-loss and HIV/AIDS from androgens! *In all fairness we have to remember that women have been attempting to destroy anything that makes a man a man for centuries. This is why wives ask their husbands to hold their purses in public. (Okay, think I am just having fun at women’s expense? Then explain why they use the word "penis" and any man would never consider referring to his phallus in such emasculating terms) Let\'s see what a health care professional and educator or our future can add... Return Of The Educator... The guidance of a professional and educator shapes each life he or she may touch. As such the factual content of the knowledge provided should be better suited for academia than for Comedy Central... "I think it\'s a problem across the board, not just at FSU," said Dan Moore, health educator at Thagard Student Health Center. "They\'re being taken much more than we could ever imagine, but there are not many stats to back this up. People who do steroids will never admit to it. Steroids are hush-hush, undercover, like a secret society." (Then he quotes stats to back this up that include androstenedione as an anabolic steroid... post baseball player Mark Maguire stating that he used it to aid his then league home run record) "Since 1991, steroid use has risen 50 percent among eighth and 10th grade students," Moore said. "(Steroid) use has also risen 38 percent among 12th graders. This is scary; that\'s young." "Steroids are related to the sex hormone," Moore said. "For guys, they de-masculinize, for women, they de-feminize." This would explain the increase in transvestites in clubs and large breasted pro-bodybuilders in the mags... Side effects particular to women include the development of male attributes -- deep voice and facial hair -- as well as infertility, smaller breasts, a stopped menstrual cycle, and clitoral enlargement. For men, side effects include shrunken testes, reduced sperm count, an enlarged prostate, impotence, and irreversible breast enlargements, also known as "man boobs." The medical term for man boobs is gynecomastia. As males age they commonly realize a decrease in testosterone. This allows for an increase in favor of estrogens in the testosterone-to-estrogen ration. As a result feminizing can occur that includes additional adipose tissue storage around hips, glutes and pectoral areas. This is sometimes referred to as "man boobs" by Seinfeld watchers. Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia can appear in two forms, genuine or \'real\' and similar or \'pseudo.\' In real Gynecomastia there is actual breast tissue present. In pseudo Gynecomastia there is no such breast tissue and the appearance is due to an accumulation of fat, part of a general overweight tendency. In this condition weight control and exercise reduce the problem. In real Gynecomastia such efforts are fruitless. Causes of Gynecomastia (Bitch Tits... No short dresses allowed) 1. Hormone changes during puberty. These are common and often disappear after a few years. |
|
Gynecomastia: or Gynecomastia (British spelling) is an embarrassing condition that is said to occur in as many as thirty per cent of young males. In it, there is development of breast tissues, often to the extent that they resemble female breasts, hence the name of the condition, Gynecomastia or \'woman-like breasts\'. Or of course "man boobs".
2. Home changes due to middle age years. These are often treated with testosterone and other HRT meds.
3. Medication. Several prescription-only drugs can, in some way, simulate the effects of female hormones and cause real Gynecomastia. These include heart medication such as Digoxin and some blood pressure and anti-ulcer drugs like Zantac and Tagamet. Another offender is the anti-AIDS drugs known as Retroviral Therapies. Yet another is the familiar Proscar used for non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland, - a very common problem in older men.
4. Diseases. Other conditions like tumors of the testicle and pituitary glands can produce Gynecomastia. It is also a known complication of serious liver disease especially when this is due to alcohol intake. Less common congenital syndromes can also be associated.
5. Aromatization of susceptible androgens (like testosterone) to estrogens. This is a concern as a rule only when an individual is near obese of if administered dosages are at a level in which the physiology attempts to decrease testosterone levels by conversion.
"I would think that \'man boobs\' would make some people think twice about steroids," Moore said. "This is not the case."
"For others, steroids simply make you look good," Moore said. "They make you lose weight, look strong and give you that desired six-pack. In today\'s society these things have become real important. But steroids also provide a rush, which becomes addictive. You crave the rush, physically and psychologically. This is why most people take steroids intravenously, because it hits them quicker, right before they go to the gym."
Intravenous AAS use? Okay, way too stupid to even discuss...

Demand that Tax Dollars Are Spent in Responsible Manner
While FSView & Florida Flambeau is an independent student newspaper for Florida State University, the FSU Student Health Center is funded at the taxpayers\' expense. Feel free to contact the director and health educator(s) of the Thagard Student Health Center to express your disapproval at the inaccurate, irresponsible and potentially harmful information disseminated by the health educators employed by the University. Demand accountability in that state funds are used in a responsible and ethical manner.
IMO, some effort should be made to retract statements issued by the University suggesting that intravenous steroid use is the normal route of administration as this could provide unintentional instruction for unknowledgeable users and abusers. Again, please be courteous and professional should you decide to inform misstatements via email or phone communications.
