Just my opinion-Im afraid to even say...
Id heard (cant produce proof) much about CERTAIN steroids promoting immune function improvment. If I can remember DECA and others did that. On the other hand, some types of steroids did not. Even if it improves quality of remaining life thats a positive, for sure.
Xcel said as soon as steroids are mentioned in the same breath as a person who is deceased-boom! its the cause. What Med Examiner/Autopsy records show doesnt even matter! Alzados records show the specific brain tumor (a condition caused, again, by AIDS) was the cause of death. But does it matter? Hell no as soon as the media gets ahold of the info and speculates, falsly, that steroids contributed or caused the death-that becomes fact in the eyes of the public. So the problem is the perception, usually created by the media hype, not the actual facts. This is what scares me, as laws and discrimination against athletes/BBers are based upon these perceptions.
In the end we may end up in JAIL because of the penalties and laws based partly upon these myths. A bit of a stretch, but still partly true.
I feel, we here (most of us!) try to promote education and sensible use
of these drugs. Which can cause problems, which are safer. Doseages
of different drugs vary and I think we cover that as best we can here.
Rec drugs, health hazzardous lifestyles are something we cannot control. Thats in the mind of the individual. Gear use does not make one a gay porn actor or rec drug user. That person may have a risk-taking type of personality and its he as an individual who makes these choices-they may escilate in risk as the person looks for a new thrill. I hate to even mention rec drugs-but in a similar way smoking pot does not directly cause Heroin addiction and its posible demise of the person-its the personality type of the person using/abusing this stuff as they continue their risk-taking behavior.
You see the deaths of alot of guys - I think alarmingly pro wrestling athletes
may be the most prevelant. Almost always rec drugs (often to help with injuries) are mainly responsible. Also the liftstyle and beating taken in the career hurts the body, not to mention the extra mass the person carries.
Its proven smaller people live longer. There is a difference between fat and muscle, fat causes many more health issues especially typical male pattern
excess ab fat. Steroids may play a role, but if you line all this stuff up-it may be down toward the bottom of the list. How much? Who the hell knows!
Steroids are one thing-the ancillaries are worse! Many times (Benaziza/Muntzer) they are the main cause. Although not the only-we have seen Muntzers cycle and no wonder its called the death stack!
I dont think I took a specific side as much as just explained my personal opinion, for what bullshit thats worth!
