New Job!!!
Newxt Weds I am going to be taping some video with a local doctor who specializes in steroid abuse. Its a relatively new field, but the concept is similar to a clean needle program for street drugs. That if you are going to use……..don’t kill yourself sort of approach. He does NOT administer any steroids to people and in no way condones their use, but you cannot just tell people to stop using something and have them listen. People will continue to use and not know exactly what they are doing to their bodies. Issues such as severe high blood pressure and kidney and liver problems are common in users. I know of a 26 year old who nearly had a stroke from shooting up untold amounts which raised his blood pressure so bad he had to go to the hospital. So, being a fitness person.I was asked questions by him I couldnt really answer because I too, lack the knowledge in steroid use. I have studied the basics of course, but specifics……..I havent any idea. So my issue was where to send him for proper medical information. I couldnt make him stop using, but maybe I could help him not die at the age of 26.
So my part in this is as his nurse. I will be The ANABOLIC nurse. The videos are to be informative, yet with a little fun in them. The doctor is known as the ANABOLICDOC and can be found at www.anabolicdoc.com. He also have a Q&A in Muscular Development. Check him out. He is a real MD, had a real practice and knows his stuff in and out. The “users” are people…they are fathers, brothers, sons, boyfriends and husbands……not bad people in any way.
So, if you know anyone who suffers from steroid abuse…..give him the website, though its still in the early stages of course. There will be different ways to get help. Thats all the doctor needed to say to me to get me interested……..its to HELP people.
I know how it may sound to some…but the steroid use is out there, its not going to stop just because anyone says it should. But wont it be nice to have someone with seriosu medical knowledge should you find out your 17 or 18 year old son is using them? Where else can you go?
Anyway, got to run. I got a day job

In professional bodybuilding it seems to be talked about openly,but I guess someone would have to use it to get that big. And also,I think the cash prizes are bigger that they are in fitness,Idk.

I had a guy come to me at the gym yesterday saying someone had given him some steroids free to try. This guy is 53, has had kidney and liver surgeries and strokes!! I told him to take that crap and chuck in the garbage immediately. The fact that he’s IN the gym is all he needs, not more liver damage and stroke inducing high blood pressure!!! Sheesh!
