"Ground Zero Mosque" Imam: Controversy Is a "Sign of Success"
The imam leading the construction of the so-called "ground zero mosque" said Sunday that the controversy surrounding the planned cultural center is a "sign of success," the Associated Press reports.
A heated debate continued Sunday over whether the proposed Islamic cultural center should be built a few blocks away from the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in New York City, both for and against the project.
"The fact we are getting this kind of attention is a sign of success," Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf reportedly said Sunday with respect to the project, addressing a gathering at the U.S. ambassador's residence in the Persian Gulf state of Bahrain.
"It is my hope that people will understand more," Rauf said without elaborating, according to the AP.
Rauf, who is leading the project with his wife Daisy Khan, made the remarks in Bahrain as part of a trip sponsored by the U.S. State Department. The trip is part of a State Department program that sends rabbis, imams, Protestants and other religious representatives around the world to promote religious tolerance and religious freedom. Rauf made similar trips with the State Department during the Bush administration.
Rauf also gave an interview to Bahrain's Al Wasat newspaper while on the trip, saying that America's Constitution is in line with Islamic principles, the AP reports.
"I see the article of independence as more compliant with the principles of Islam than what is available in many of the current Muslim countries," he said.
Khan said on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday that the mosque organizers have started meeting with the families of 9/11 victims and other groups that have shown concern about the project.
"We've been bridge builders since 9/11, and that's what we do best, and that's what we've decided to do at this very moment," she said.
Khan added that she was concerned about Islamophobia in America.
"I think we are deeply concerned, because this is like a metastasized anti-Semitism," she said. "That's what we feel right now. It's not even Islamophobia, it's beyond Islamophobia. It's hate of Muslims. And we are deeply concerned."

The total value of oil exports was $664m during the first half of 2009, down 75 per cent on $2.7bn between January and June 2008, according to figures published by the Central Bank of Yemen on 10 August.
Oil revenues account for about 75 per cent of the government's budget.
The Yemeni government exported a total of 12.8 million barrels of oil during the first half of 2009, while domestic consumption topped 12.6 million barrels.
The government's share of all the oil produced in Yemen in the first six months of the year – 25.4 million barrels – was 9.3 million barrels or 27 per cent down on the same period of 2008 when Sanaa's share of domestic production was 34.7 million barrels.
Yemen has several exploration and production-sharing agreements with international oil companies (IOCs).
According to UK oil major BP, Yemen's total output was 305,000 barrels a day (b/d) in 2008, down from a peak of 457,000 b/d in 2002.
Sanaa currently faces a cash crisis and has asked Riyadh for a $2bn bailout (MEED 7:9:09).

Close, and It Is a Cigar
Tobacco Manufacturers Are Accused of Exploiting a Tax Loophole to Boost Sales
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. But sometimes, according to critics of the tobacco industry, it may be little more than a cigarette.
Last year, Congress sharply increased the federal excise tax on "little" cigars—filtered, often sweetly favored products that are similar in size and shape to cigarettes. Some manufacturers responded by increasing the weight of their little cigars so they qualified as conventional, "large" cigars, which are taxed at lower rates....

New Eastside doorperson of the month, Gail Rogers
By Jesse Wright, Staff Writer
Gail Rogers is the doorperson at the Park Millennium building at 222 N. Columbus Drive in the New Eastside.
But she's more than a doorperson.
When she is not helping residents, Rogers said she enjoys bowling. "I'm a bowler and I've been doing it for years," she said.
Rogers said on a good night she can get to 150 or 165, but no matter what her score, she said just being on the lanes is stress free. "I started bowling when I was 17," Rogers said. "I liked it because I was able to do it. I could actually bowl. I had never did it before and my family said, 'well, come on try it.'"
She's also an avid pool player.
"I love it," she said. "My two favorite sports are bowling and shooting pool."
When she's not bowling or shooting pool though, Rogers is at work. She has been at her current residency since 2005. The Park Millennium building is a high-traffic area, so much so that Rogers said it's probably one of the busiest condos in the downtown area.
Besides liking people, Rogers said a good door person has to be patient because all those people have individual personalities and needs. "You definitely have got to be patient, and you got to like what you do," she said. Rogers said doorpeople who don't love the job typically leave the work because dealing with people can be tough. "You got to love people and constant interaction," she said. "You really do. And then everyone is happy and they smile a lot."
Not every interaction begins with a smile. Rogers said sometimes people can be in a bad mood or they can be frustrated, and those moods aren't overcome with a smile. For that, she said, a good doorperson should use their ear. "I listen a lot. I am a very good listener," Rogers said. "A lot of people come at you and they're very angry and a lot of times you just have to listen. If they vent, you're able to help them even more, but just be patient with them. Let them vent."
Rogers is a born-and-raised Chicagoan and, while she currently lives in the suburbs, she said she has an affinity for working in the downtown area.
"This area here is so convenient," she said. "I take the Metra (to work). And we have a pedway system, so I can go to the pedway system and get on the Metra and I don't have to go outside. I think that's great this time of year."
To nominate your favorite doorperson, email firstname.lastname@example.com with the door person's name and why you think they should be the doorperson of the month. Each winner will receive a $25 gift card to Mariano's.

A study out of the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, Texas, examined the effects of fenugreek supplementation on strength and body composition in resistance-trained men. Researchers found that while both the placebo and fenugreek groups significantly increased their strength during the first four weeks, only the fenugreek group saw significant increases in strength after eight weeks of training and supplementation.[5]
But when a premenopausal woman's testosterone levels are too high, it can lead to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that increases the risk of irregular or absent menstrual cycles, infertility, excess hair growth, skin problems, and miscarriage. High levels of testosterone in women, whether caused by PCOS or by another condition, can cause serious health conditions such as insulin resistance, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart disease. (12)
Testosterone may fight depression. If you've been battling the black dog of depression, it may be because of low testosterone levels. Researchers have found that men suffering from depression typically have deficient testosterone levels. While scientists haven't been able to figure out whether it's low testosterone that causes depression or if depression causes low T levels, preliminary research has shown that some men suffering depression report improvement in mood and other factors of depression after undergoing doctor-directed testosterone treatments.

Started HRT in my early 50's as I had all the low-T symptoms and Type 2 Diabetes, which was hammering my body. My total T was about 100 (not sure about Free at that point). First started with Androgel, and was getting decent symptomatic improvement, but didn't like the residue from the cream, and traveling with the creams was a problem. I've gone to pellet implants for the past 7 years. Every 4-5 months, very happy with results to date.
Some studies have looked at testosterone therapy and cognition. Although the findings weren't definitive, there was some evidence of cognitive improvement. Other studies have shown that it improves mood. Testosterone therapy has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of osteoporosis and in increasing muscle bulk and strength. [See "Testosterone's impact on brain, bone, and muscle," above.]
Get out of here with your quackery nonsense. No one likes trolls that want to push diet and weight loss pills as a serious solution to low t and ED. Anyone who reads your comment will waste at least 20 seconds of their life. What's worse, they might listen to you instead of getting real medical advice that might actually help with an issue that is devastating to their lifestyle. And btw, before you decide to respond to this with more quackery, testimonials or fake research, know that I am a pharmaceutical scientist and won't fall for your bogus statements
There are two keys to incorporating fat in your diet: getting enough fat, and getting the right kinds of it. A study from 1984 (done, no doubt, with Big Brother watching) looked at 30 healthy men who switched from eating 40% fat (much of it saturated) to 25% fat (much of it unsaturated), with more protein and carbs to make up the difference in calories. After 6 weeks, their average serum testosterone, free testosterone, and 4-androstenedione (an important hormone for testosterone synthesis) all dropped significantly [6]. I think getting 40% of your calories from fat is too little – I recommend 50-70% of calories from fat, or even more in some cases.
"I did a lot of research on Andro400 before I ordered it because I've tried other products in the past and they haven't worked. But with this I could not believe the difference within, literally within a month. I'm 62 years old and since I started taking it I have lost 37 lbs. And I have more energy than I've had in 20 years. It's still coming off, but it's coming off slower now. It was the belly fat. I could get weight off but I could never get the tummy off, and now the tummy's coming off. Libido -- everything's better all the way around."
Believe it or not, free testosterone makes up only about 2% of all the testosterone in your body. This rest is bound to globulin and albumin. There are ways to increase your free testosterone though and one of them is through strenuous exercises. Strenuous exercise like lifting heavy weights and sprints will cause the body to release some of that bound testosterone making it free and it aids the body with the heavy workload.
I have been searching quite a while for a testosterone booster that could help me in a few different ways yet not to be too expensive. Over the years, I have experienced a low irritability tolerance(meaning it doesn't take much to send me "over the top") and have moods swings due to negative situations. I would like to be more at peace with myself & around others(without trying to fake it).I don't usually have a lot of energy at work & rely on energy drinks. I also have a lower sex drive due to what I believe is low blood flow. I am 43 years old and am not over weight, but could stand to tone up and lose a little around the waist. If this site is legit, I would like to know your opinion on what I have disclosed & what you recommend.
• In a trial of men with anemia, 58% percent were no longer anemic after a year of therapy, compared to 22% who received a placebo. In addition, testosterone therapy was associated with higher hemoglobin levels. Hemoglobin is a protein in the blood that carries oxygen from the lungs to other areas of the body. It also brings carbon dioxide back to the lungs.
Let me start out by saying that I didn't notice anything for about the first 10 days. After week 2, I had moderate energy increases buy by far the most noticeable difference for me was in the bedroom. After using this product for over a moth now, I normally run out of energy before I run out of "stamina". This will be a permanent regimen for my daily supplements from now on. I take 4 a day. 2 in the morning and 2 about 5pm. I thought about lowering the dosage to see if it had the same effect, but for the price, why? LOL.
More specifically, saw palmetto is frequently used to suppress prostate growth and combat abnormal urine flow that results from an enlarged prostate. The reason it is believed that saw palmetto can combat prostate hyperplasia is based on some research indicating it may block an enzyme (5-alpha-reductase) that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).[21]
Japanese Knotweed (a.k.a Hu Zhang or Polygonum cuspidatum) is highlighted by WebMD as needing more evidence to rate its effectiveness in a number of different areas: like treating constipation and liver or heart disease. They also warn that it can interact poorly with medications that are changed and broken down by the liver, and those that slow blood clotting (anticoagulants and antiplatelets).
One thing that is often overlooked when it comes to testosterone boosters is the dosing. Test boosters aren't like other supplements where you can just take the one dosing per day and forget about until the next day. As with any supplement, it only stays in your system for 4-8 hours. This means you need to be taking more than one dose per day. 2 doses are better but it still is not enough. If you want to keep your test levels up all day you will need to be taking at least 3 and preferably 4 doses per day to keep your testosterone levels high throughout the day and to keep them from dropping between doses. You should also be sure to take them every day and try to not miss any doses to get the most out of them.
Since 2004, Andro400 has been the leader among natural testosterone boosters with a proven track record of successfully helping tens of thousands of customers increase their testosterone safely without side effects. Andro400 contains only the most highly researched and time-tested ingredients proven to naturally increase T levels. Enjoyed by men (and women) of all ages and results are backed by the industry's leading Satisfaction Guarantee.
Xenoestrogen is a chemical that imitates estrogen in the human body. When men are exposed to too much of this estrogen-imitating chemical, T levels drop significantly. The problem is xenoestrogen is freaking everywhere — plastics, shampoos, gasoline, cows, toothpaste. You name it and chances are there are xenoestrogen in it. The ubiquitous nature of this chemical in our modern world is one reason some endocrinologists believe that testosterone levels are lower in men today than in decades past. It's also a reason doctors say the number of boys born with hypospadias — a birth defect in which the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis and not at the tip — has doubled. Note to expecting parents: make sure mom stays away from xenoestrogens during the pregnancy.
Testosterone is responsible for increased muscle mass. Leaner body mass helps control weight and increases energy. For men with low testosterone, studies that treatment can decrease fat mass and increase muscle size and strength. Some men reported a change in lean body mass but no increase in strength. It's likely you'll see the most benefits when you combine testosterone therapy with strength training and exercise.
Like other steroid hormones, testosterone is derived from cholesterol (see figure).[128] The first step in the biosynthesis involves the oxidative cleavage of the side-chain of cholesterol by cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc, CYP11A1), a mitochondrial cytochrome P450 oxidase with the loss of six carbon atoms to give pregnenolone. In the next step, two additional carbon atoms are removed by the CYP17A1 (17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase) enzyme in the endoplasmic reticulum to yield a variety of C19 steroids.[129] In addition, the 3β-hydroxyl group is oxidized by 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase to produce androstenedione. In the final and rate limiting step, the C17 keto group androstenedione is reduced by 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase to yield testosterone.
I have a large potion of my bowel removed resilting in me not digesting properly and shitting uncontrollably and an immovable staphs infection in my nose (due to pharmaceuticals) to deal with now, which as you can imagine inhibits me. Its these two last problems I'm looking to over come. I think this info in this article will help me a lot and so i want to say thanks to you (long winded i know) and see if you have ny other ideas for me to try.
We also have epidemiologic studies, like the Physicians' Health Study, the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, and the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, that include tens of thousands of men who are followed for 5, 10, 15, or even 20 years. At the end of the study period, the researchers see who developed prostate cancer and who didn't. They can then look at blood samples taken at the start of the study to see if, for example, the group that got prostate cancer had a higher level of testosterone over all. About 500,000 men have been entered in some 20 trials of this type around the world. Not one of those studies has shown a definitive correlation between prostate cancer and total testosterone. Three or four have shown weak associations, but none of those have been confirmed in subsequent studies.
Consuming high amounts of sugary foods raises your blood glucose levels, which causes your body to release insulin as a response to the raised blood glucose levels. If not managed correctly, the body begins to develop a tolerance to insulin and cannot absorb the sugars in the blood stream as it used to, causing you to become insulin resistant. Being insulin resistant releases cortisol, and as you know, cortisol has extremely negative effects, lowering testosterone by quite a bit.
What makes TestoFuel different from other testosterone boosters on the market is that the company is constantly researching and updating the ingredients. So, you know you are getting a product that has been formulated using the latest clinical studies. Unlike most other companies that formulate a product and update it every 3 – 5 years or never at all.
"Before taking Andro400, my husband weighed 290 lbs. He's a diabetic and his blood pressure was through the roof. I purchased Andro based on the reviews, and he's lost 60 - 70 lbs! It's enhanced him health-wise in a lot of aspects too. He used to be depressed because of his weight. The fact that he was losing weight like crazy gave him a lot of relief. He's not depressed now, he's really happy. He's more loving. And it's so exciting for me as a wife to see him happier -- it made me happier! So I'm really grateful. Andro400 gave him a lot of energy too because of the testosterone boost. The 3 main things everybody's noticing are: no more depression, a lot more energy and the huge weight loss. He went from size 42 to 38, so it's like, oh my God it's WORKING!! Trust me, we've tried a lot of other things that didn't work. And that's why I'm so excited because it's actually, literally changing our lives!"
It could be said that testosterone is what makes men, men. It gives them their characteristic deep voices, large muscles, and facial and body hair, distinguishing them from women. It stimulates the growth of the genitals at puberty, plays a role in sperm production, fuels libido, and contributes to normal erections. It also fosters the production of red blood cells, boosts mood, and aids cognition.
How alpha are you? Well, how many shakes of hot sauce can you handle? A recent study from France found men who have a taste for spicy foods tend to have higher testosterone levels than those who can't handle the heat. Of the 114 male participants surveyed, researchers saw a clear correlation between frequent hot-sauce usage and higher T-levels. Study authors suggest the findings may be due in part to capsaicin—the fiery compound in chili pepper that previous studies have associated with increased testosterone levels. In animal studies, capsaicin has also shown to increase the size of sex organs, while simultaneously decreasing belly fatbelly fat. Yowza!
Shilajit in its natural state has no chemical definition. In order to yield a consistent and efficacious form of shilajit, the shilajit is obtained from carefully selected rocks and is put through a patented technology where it is purified and standardized. This form of shilajit is now assured of optimal levels of bioactive components such as fulvic acid and dibenzo-pyrones, and is known as the patented PrimaVie.
The general recommendation is that men 50 and older who are candidates for testosterone therapy should have a DRE and a PSA test. If either is abnormal, the man should be evaluated further for prostate cancer, which is what we do with everybody whether they have low testosterone or not. That means a biopsy. But if all of those results are normal, then we can initiate testosterone therapy. The monitoring that needs to happen for men who begin testosterone therapy is really very simple: DRE, PSA, and a blood test for hematocrit or hemoglobin, once or twice in the first year and then yearly after that, which is pretty much what we recommend for most men over age 50 anyway.
I am 35 and had the non sexual symptoms for awhile now( weight gain/muscle loss, extreme fatigue, lack of clarity/concentration) I got my testosterone levels checked last week and it was 35.4 ng. Not a typo, 35.4. I was told by my dr. That I needed to start TRT right away as low t can effect a lot different things in your body. I did my first injection last night (200mg/ml every 2 weeks) about 8 pm and td now 3:30 am and I'm wide awake and feel extremely motivated to go to the gym and work out. I know each person is different but should I feel like this already, or is it a placebo effect at this point?
Vitamin D3 has the ability to naturally boost testosterone levels. Increasing serum vitamin D levels in the body can help increase testosterone production, allowing you to potentially build muscle at a faster rate. If you don't live in an area of the world that allows for a good amount of sunlight, you could become deficient and could benefit from a vitamin D supplement.
In this article, testosterone-replacement therapy refers to the treatment of hypogonadism with exogenous testosterone — testosterone that is manufactured outside the body. Depending on the formulation, treatment can cause skin irritation, breast enlargement and tenderness, sleep apnea, acne, reduced sperm count, increased red blood cell count, and other side effects.
There is a large body of evidence linking the onset and/or progression of cardiovascular disease to low testosterone levels in men. It is now apparent that an increased cardiovascular risk and accelerated development of atherosclerosis occurs not only in elderly men or men with obesity or type 2 diabetes mellitus, but also in non-obese men with hypogonadism.14 Current best evidence from systematic review of randomized controlled trials suggests that testosterone use in hypogonadal men is relatively safe in terms of cardiovascular health and do not produce unfavorable elevations in blood pressure or glycemic control, and does not adversely effect lipid profiles.4,15
Testosterone is included in the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines, which are the most important medications needed in a basic health system.[111] It is available as a generic medication.[10] The price depends on the form of testosterone used.[112] It can be administered as a cream or transdermal patch that is applied to the skin, by injection into a muscle, as a tablet that is placed in the cheek, or by ingestion.[10]
I have tried pellets, I went from 5 grams/day gel, to 10 grams, had little change due to work schedule and no energy made it difficult to manage daily. Levels got down to 78 at one point. Testo pellets worked great but it took 10 to make a difference and it brought me up to the 300-400 range. My body rejected 3 pellets and expelled them. Tried axiron, didn't work, natesto, which the doc never heard off next, a Nasal spray which helped but the bottle ran out 5 days early either by my mistake or dosage problems. Back to 10 grams Testim AG ($360 after deductible) which helps if i could stay consistent but I'm 28. With a job, and health insurance, deductible issues I can not afford 800 dollars a month, 360 after deductible. Recent levels of FSH/LH are .7 and 1.2 (low). Total testosterone 114, free 18.9, and bioavalability at 39.6 (low). I had a MRI of my pituitary gland today, and get results next week. Hoping to start depo T next week as I return to work. If I can recommend anything to anyone, is make sure it's affordable, you have the time or energy to apply/administer, and understand most people will not understand what you are going through. 2 killers of testosterone are chronic stress and lack of sleep. In 3 years of treatment I wish I came to this man's article and others and read up prior because I'm on the brink of losing everything I've worked for due to hypogonadism. Wish you all results and good health, and thank you for a great article!
A large number of side-effects have been attributed to testosterone. In our clinical experience, the incidence of significant adverse effects with treatment producing physiological testosterone levels is low, and many side effects attributed to testosterone are mainly relevant to supraphysiological replacement. Some adverse effects are specific to a given mode of delivery and have already been described. Potential adverse effects concerning the prostate have also been discussed and require appropriate monitoring of symptoms, PSA and digital rectal examination. Other tumors which may be androgen responsive include cancer of the breast and primary liver tumors, and these are both contraindications to testosterone treatment
It's important to understand that your body requires saturated fats from animal and vegetable sources (such as meat, dairy, certain oils, and tropical plants like coconut) for optimal functioning, and if you neglect this important food group in favor of sugar, grains and other starchy carbs, your health and weight are almost guaranteed to suffer. Examples of healthy fats you can eat more of to give your testosterone levels a boost include:
Andy – If you take testosterone, your hypothalamus will notice an abundance of testosterone in your system and will instruct your pituitary gland not to send LH and FSH to your testicles. If you're testicles are not receiving these two hormones, they will stop making testosterone. If you quit testosterone call turkey, you will likely fall back to your baseline level fairly quickly. There is a protocol however to get back to your normal production much quicker should you choose to quit therapy.
In accordance with sperm competition theory, testosterone levels are shown to increase as a response to previously neutral stimuli when conditioned to become sexual in male rats.[40] This reaction engages penile reflexes (such as erection and ejaculation) that aid in sperm competition when more than one male is present in mating encounters, allowing for more production of successful sperm and a higher chance of reproduction.
The changes in average serum testosterone levels with aging mean that the proportion of men fulfilling a biochemically defined diagnosis of hypogonadism increases with aging. Twenty percent of men aged over 60 have total testosterone levels below the normal range and the figure rises to 50% in those aged over 80. The figures concerning free testosterone are even higher as would be expected in view of the concurrent decrease in SHBG levels (Harman et al 2001).

Testosterone increases the tolerance for risk-taking. Testosterone has a strong link with one's willingness to take risks. Studies show that men with low levels of power and status, but high levels of T, are motivated to take risks in order to gain status and power. On the other hand, men with high T, who already have power and status, are more risk-averse, because they want to hold on to what they have.
6) Take Cold Showers: Cold showers have been known to stimulate and boost testosterone production and improve metabolism, detoxification and brain function. Start your shower with warm/hot water and turn it to cold for the last 30-60 seconds while pumping your muscles and creating a big shiver as your muscles contract. That will help to boost internal heat and boost testosterone production. This article will help you.
Alphamax XT's testosterone boosting formula is so potent that they had to include an estrogen blocker in the formula. User's have reported that the product's effects rivals a hardcore pre-workout in terms of aggression and intensity. When the workout is done user's have also been reporting accelerated muscle recovery, fat loss, and increased muscle definition.
12) Use Aswaghanda and Collagen Protein: This adaptogenic herb has been shown to reduce stress hormone, increase DHEA and boost testosterone levels. You can take the Cortisol Defense to help you get restorative sleep at night which will support your testosterone. In addition, I personally enjoy using the Organic Bone Broth Collagen in addition to the Amino Strong for a post weight training shake. This protein powder has all the benefits of collagen protein and it has 500 mg of high potency ashwagandha in each serving!
Meat. Meat, particularly beef, provides our bodies with the protein it needs to create muscle (more muscle = more T) and the fats and cholesterol to make testosterone. My meat topping of choice was sliced up chuck steak. I grilled two of them on Monday and it lasted me until the next Monday. Every now and then I'd slow-cook some ribs or brisket to use as my meat topping. My philosophy was the fattier, the better.
If you haven't hit your twenties yet then you probably can't imagine losing your interest in sex. I feel you, Holmes. At 26, I have a healthy appetite now (partially because I consciously work on elevating my T) but it's nowhere near where it was when I was 17. I imagine that things will only get worse by the time I'm 35 which is why it's important to learn what gets your motor firing now.
There are studies that show Soy consumption in humans leads to lower sperm count, but unfortunately they did not look at testosterone levels in the study (40). This (41) particular study compared the estrogen production of men drinking soy protein to those drinking whey. After two weeks they found the estradiol levels were equal, however soy drinkers had LOWER Testosterone levels and HIGHER cortisol levels (both bad).
Bisphenol-A also known under the name of BPA is a chemical compound which is very widespread for manufacturing a wide spectrum of plastic items and aluminum cans. Many studies have already proven the fact that even the smallest amount of BPA is very harmful to the human health. This compound causes hormonal imbalance and even may lead to prostate cancer.

Thanks for reaching out, looks like you're in a difficult situation here, but don't worry, you can turn it around. For starters I would focus on getting your stress under control, this has a direct impact on your T-levels. Then look at your diet. Try to eat healthy fats, along with good carbs, and proteins. I'd recommend cutting down on anything containing sugar – again it's testosterone worst nightmare. If you really want to kick it up a gear, and it sounds as if you do, we recommend using testofuel.com – its' by far the best natural testosterone booster on the market – you won't be disappointed! Good luck my friend.
Oral ginger was reported to accelerate gastric emptying and stimulate gastric motility (spontaneous movements of the stomach that aid in digestion). Most studies report some beneficial effect on gastric emptying time but mostly during some sort of disease state [10,11]. In healthy individuals ginger also seems to increase gastric emptying via antral contraction stimulation [12]. However, Phillips and colleagues [13] reported that ginger is not associated with an effect on gastric emptying. In animals, ginger and its active constituent [6]-Gingerol were reported to enhance gastrointestinal tract transit [14].
Tongkat ali (a.k.a. Longjack, a.k.a. Eurycoma Longifolia) is a foundational compound of Ayurveda, commonly used as an aphrodisiac. Similar to DHEA, longjack has been found to be effective in both men and women for improving libido, total and free testosterone concentrations as well as muscle mass and strength in men and women! And, unlike many of the other old world herbs commonly touted as natural testosterone boosters, longjack actually has a fair amount of human research denoting its benefits.
Zinc deficiency also negatively affects testosterone levels, according a 2014 article in the Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Physiology. The authors of this review note that zinc supplementation can increase circulating testosterone in some populations. In fact, daily supplementation with typical doses may double testosterone within a few months.
Alcohol has constantly been shown to lower testosterone levels. It's even worse if you're a heavy beer drinker. Wanna know why? Because beer raises your estrogen levels due to the phytoestrogens that are produced from the hops used to make beer. If that's not enough, studies have shown that alcoholics have lower levels of testosterone than non-alcoholics.
More recently, a study from 2015 noted that consuming 600mg daily of standardized fenugreek extract for eight weeks increased free testosterone levels compared to placebo. The test group also experience an increase the the number of repetitions the could perform in the leg press before reaching failure. And, to top it off, subjects receiving the fenugreek supplement dropped body fat without losing strength.
I see this is an older thread, but still very appropriate. After feeling lethargic, gaining weight, and generally having a declining sexual appetite I took some advice from a friend and got the Test check done. Turns out I was around 189, and it explained a lot. Now, I am a bigger guy, and I do hit the gym regularly, and I do push weights a lot. Big arms and chest, kinda flabby gut. Doc recommended Andro Gel. Glad I had insurance, because it is EXPENSIVE!!!!! Noticed after a week of two pumps that energy was coming back, and I could concentrate better at work. A little bit of face acne, some around shoulders, and a little on the chest. I also noticed a little acne on the contact areas on my arms where I applied it. Nothing like a teenager, but I noticed. It did help in the gym a little bit, as I would put on muscle a little faster, and kept it a bit longer. I also noticed some extra water weight gain around my gut.
"Poor lifestyle can mimic the symptoms of low testosterone and can actually cause low testosterone as well," says Hodzovic. "The main culprits include lack of sleep, excessive stress, too little or too much exercise and too little or too much body fat. Getting healthy and active and eating a balanced nutritious diet along with enough sleep are the most important things to do.
i have been on T therapy for 32 years now after being diagnosed with Klinefelters. Recently my pharmacy had been non responsive to my request to refill and they flat out refused/declined the request from my doctor which was T powder mixed with a cream base that you place on the shoulder. I asked if I could purchase it with cash and they told me that the FDA is not approving this usage anymore but did not provide an option. Completely out now for close to a week and have been working for five weeks trying to get again. Now what to do, I'm having all kinds of weird feelings including anxiety to the max, nervous, irritable, muscle cramps/pains … I guess they just don't care that we cannot get something our bodies have adjusted too for many years. Strange thing is I think I have found a compounding pharmacy in Houston Texas that will fill this Rx. I'm not sure how one can do this and another cannot especially if they have compounding capabilities. Now I'm wondering if I can get thru this and stop taking it alltogether however I already know I'm seeing signs of being forgetful, lack of energy and foggy brain. I wonder if this will ever stop. The really bad thing is that I'm traveling for work and cannot get into my doctor's office. This whole process is not great. I can only imagine what a person must feel taking hard drugs then not getting any all at once.
"Our hypothesis was that testosterone would be good for the coronary arteries because we thought that by repleting testosterone to healthy levels there would be an improvement in the cholesterol panel and atherosclerosis burden. But what we found was the opposite, that atherosclerosis actually progresses faster under the influence of testosterone."

In contrast to steroids, testosterone boosters have a fully different mechanism of action. They are the products which contain the natural ingredients only. These ingredients act by stimulating the man's body to synthesize own testosterone. So, testosterone levels grow naturally without negative health effects associated with the intake of steroids.
If your levels are indeed low, there are a number of synthetic and bioidentical testosterone products on the market, as well as DHEA, which is the most abundant androgen precursor prohormone in the human body, meaning that it is the largest raw material your body uses to produce other vital hormones, including testosterone in men and estrogen in women.
The hormone testosterone plays a major role in a man's life. "We're literally better at who we are if our T levels are thriving," says Chad Howse, co-author of The Man Diet: A Proven Guide to More Energy, Increased Virility, and Higher Testosterone Levels. T affects just about everything, from a man's appearance to his physical and emotional health.
Japanese Knotweed (a.k.a Hu Zhang or Polygonum cuspidatum) is highlighted by WebMD as needing more evidence to rate its effectiveness in a number of different areas: like treating constipation and liver or heart disease. They also warn that it can interact poorly with medications that are changed and broken down by the liver, and those that slow blood clotting (anticoagulants and antiplatelets).
Lose some weight – It goes without saying that being overweight is unhealthy for more than one reason. As your weight increases, your testosterone levels decrease inevitably. The good news is that as soon as you start losing weight, you can reverse this process and your testosterone levels will begin rising again. Could you think of a better reason to exercise regularly?
It goes without saying that a healthy diet, quality sleep, productive lifestyle, and regular exercises can contribute to the overall increase of testosterone. However, it is also true that these activities are very often not enough for guys who have the problems with naturally low testosterone levels. This situation also includes people who want to boost their existing testosterone levels.

The research conducted by the American scientists has proven that this plant has a great potential to raise serum lactate, improve sports performance, enhance muscle strength, increase oxygen supply to the body tissues, maintain heart health, boost memory and concentration, restore work capacity, normalize homeostasis, and make the reaction time to a variety of visual and auditory stimuli much longer.3
The biologically available part of total testosterone is called free testosterone, and it's readily available to the cells. Almost every lab has a blood test to measure free testosterone. Even though it's only a small fraction of the total, the free testosterone level is a pretty good indicator of low testosterone. It's not perfect, but the correlation is greater than with total testosterone.

"This study establishes testosterone levels at which various physiological functions start to become impaired, which may help provide a rationale for determining which men should be treated with testosterone supplements," Finkelstein says. "But the biggest surprise was that some of the symptoms routinely attributed to testosterone deficiency are actually partially or almost exclusively caused by the decline in estrogens that is an inseparable result of lower testosterone levels."

I finally went to see two popular animated movies at the $3 theater: Disney's big budget / big hit Zootopia and the medium budget / medium hit Angry Birds based on the Finnish smartphone game. Like a lot of mainstream movies these days, both are allegories about classic iSteve topics like biodiversity.
Zootopia is a cop movie set in a utopian city of talking animals where lions lie down with lambs, where predator and prey normally get along with perfect amity. It's about a tiny girl bunny who comes to the big city to follow her dreams and be a policeman, even though everybody tells her only large animals can be cops. To solve a big case and convince the police chief, a hard-headed Cape buffalo voiced by Idris Elba, that she belongs on the force, she has to enlist the help of a handsome fox conman (Jason Bateman).
Zootopia likely started out as a satire on diversity and political correctness, but then self-emasculated itself when early research reports came back that audiences want political correctness about diversity and feel-good pap: Anybody can be anything they dream of, as long as they work out enough.
The movie is still quite decent, although it's painful to think about how good it could have been if that much talent had been given free rein to follow their instincts without PC being given a chokehold on their creativity.
From Slate today comes an article worrying that Disney almost didn't gut their own movie:
This Deleted Scene From Zootopia Would Have Made the Racial Allegory a Lot More Disturbing
By Aisha Harris
After months and months of vague promos, Zootopia's arrival in theaters came as a surprise to viewers—not only was the film fun and entertaining, but it was also totally a message movie about the perils of racial profiling. And if you thought about it too hard, the racial allegory quickly began to fall apart: What's with the discriminated-against predators also being in positions of institutional power? And why, in a movie about shutting down stereotypes, is the fox actually sneaky and the weasel really a cheater?
And why, in the scene that get the biggest laughs, are all the clerks at the Van Nuys Department of Motor Vehicles (pretty much the Van Nuys DMV I go to and where Homer Simpson's sister-in-laws Patty and Selma work) sloths? And not stereotype-shattering sloths, but sloths who fulfill every stereotype you ever guiltily entertained about sloths and DMV clerks?
And there's this scene that stereotypes wolves as liking to howl:
Moreover, if you watch closely, the filmmakers disclose what a Malthusian nightmare a predator-free ecosystem would be. For example, here is the rabbit heroine saying goodbye to her mother, father, and 275 siblings as she heads off to Zootopia. Watch Bunnyburrow's population counter at 0:45:
Still, after decades of questionable and/or downright racist on-screen depictions of people of color, Disney's attempt to address such heavy subject matter in an animated kids' movie can be considered a valiant effort and a sign of progress.
Which is why it's probably a good thing that a deleted scene from Zootopia that is now online didn't make it into the final cut of the film.
This deleted scene explains the key question of why the 10% of the population who are predators don't follow their instincts:
For starters, the tone of the scene is considerably darker than that of the lighthearted romp the movie eventually became. It depicts a ceremony, soon revealed to be a "taming party," in which a young bear cub named Morris prepares to become a "big bear." His father presents his eager, ecstatic son with a collar in front of a room full of equally eager and ecstatic bear cubs: "With this collar, Zootopia accepts me," the papa bear announces, wistfully, as Morris repeats after him. There's a tinge of sadness and hesitation as he goes to put it around Morris' neck, and understandably so—Morris is soon given an electric shock after becoming too excited. The room gasps, and a startled Morris hugs his father tight.
The idea of animals in a kids' movie suffering a form of ritualized corporeal punishment in order to gain acceptance by others is already pretty heavy—but it's made even more disturbing when you consider it within the context of the film's blatant racial allegory. The suggestion that the only way for the predators to coexist in the world of Zootopia is to "tame" them in adolescence would have brought in some icky, very colonial notions about race that such a film probably wouldn't be able to engage with properly, to say the least. So let's all be grateful that the top dogs at Disney made a wise decision to let this scene go.
And here's another deleted scene, showing Jason Bateman's male lead, a fox, having his taming collar temporarily removed by a doctor:
In other words, the predators were forced to stop preying on the prey pretty much the same way Alex is tamed in A Clockwork Orange. The idea of a huge budget talking animal knock off of the themes of A Clockwork Orange is pretty awesome.
But that explanation for why the world works the way it does was cut out of the movie because it wasn't lame and PC enough. So in the final version of the movie, all the animals have just "evolved" to not prey on each other. Why? Just because. No cost is paid to evolve, there are no tradeoffs, no choices, nothing of interest.
To me, this lowers the stakes in the movie and makes the film quickly forgettable. Which is too bad because it has a lot going for it otherwise.
Here's a documentary about how the creators were told by Disney suits and marketing researchers to drop the shock collars and make the movie about the evils of stereotypes:
Because audiences like Goodthink.
Angry Birds is set on a paradisiacal island where birds, lacking predators, have evolved to be flightless, much like the now extinct dodo bird of Mauritius and other birds on predator-free islands that have since been plagued, sometimes into extinction, by the arrival of human sailors, along with their pigs, dogs, and rats. Feral egg-eating pigs remain a major threat to rare birds on Hawaii.
The birds on their isolated island live in pleasant harmony with each other, caring for their eggs, taking yoga classes, and, sure enough, there's the bird version of the Free Hugs guy from Times Square. (I told you that guy was famous.) Almost everybody is happy except for grumpy Red (voiced by Jason Sudeikis), who is an Angry Red Bird. He gets sentenced to anger management therapy.
Then a boatload of pigs arrive from an unknown island.
The naive birds, having never met pigs before, don't listen to Red's warning that something seems fishy about these friendly pigs.
SPOILER ALERT: The pigs steal all the birds' eggs and take them back to their island for a feast. Red leads the now angry birds in an attack on Piggy Island, which requires the flightless birds to shoot themselves at the pig city using sling shots. The birds heroically retrieve their eggs and go back to their own island, and don't live happily ever after with the pigs at all.
The movie is based on old fashioned 1990s Edward O. Wilson / Jared Diamond-style concern for biodiversity (here's Diamond's chapter in The Third Chimpanzee on the sad fate of the giant flightless birds of New Zealand after the Maori and their pigs arrived). But it seems topical today because of the Camp of the Saints floating hijrah in the Mediterranean.
It's not bad, although it will appeal most to very small children.

SPEAKER GOWDY??? Trey Left A Cryptic Message: 'You Do Not Have To Be A Member Of The House To Be Speaker'
Trey Gowdy stands up for what's right and goes after what's wrong! He is one of the few who can bring back justice to our country!
He is a warrior fighting to keep our constitution alive! This guy understands what it means to be elected by the people and that he works for all Americans. It's nice to know there are some people who care for us and our loved ones.
Today after the offcial announcement made by Paul Ryan that he will not run again Trey Gowdy gave an interview and reminded everyone that the Speaker of the House does not need to actually be a sitting congressman.
The Constitution dictates "the House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers," but it does not stipulate that you have to be a sitting member of Congress to run for the leadership position. Gowdy conveniently pointed that out at the end of his statement on Speaker Paul Ryan's decision not to seek re-election at the end of his term.
After calling Ryan the "smartest kid in the class" and wishing him his wife and their three children "all the best," the South Carolina Republican addressed "those within Congress who always seemed to have a better idea or a smarter strategy, now is your chance to run for Speaker."
"To those outside of Congress who always seemed to have a better idea or a smarter strategy," he added. "You do not have to be a member of the House to be Speaker of the House and hence, now is your chance to run for Speaker."
aul Ryan made the official announcement at 10:15 AM Eastern.
Paul Ryan: I gave this job everything I had. The truth is it's easy for it to take over everything in your life. Today I am announcing that this year is my last year as a member of the House… It's almost hard to believe but I have been a member of Congress for two decades… I will be setting new priorities in my life… I'm really proud of what we've been able to do… Our two biggest achievements – tax cuts and second to build our nation's military. These I see as lasting victories… I want to be clear I'm not done yet… I believe its future is bright… I tried to bring as much Wisconsin to Congress as possible…
Would you love to see Trey Gowdy as speaker of the House?

Wendy Bohling is passionate about building a community of working women with faith. Along with her team of speakers and facilitators, Wendy is hosting the Not Just a Rib Conference for Working Women with Faith in Louisville, Colorado on April 28th. In this interview, you'll hear why she has felt "not good enough" to pursue this dream and learn how God has grown and equipped her to follow it anyway. She talks about the importance of getting quiet before God, so you can hear what He's saying to you, and believing He knows your needs even when you have no idea where provision for your dream will come from.

Cell-type-specific promoter
Cells expressing Cre protein
Cells expressing Cre
Gene function is disrupted
▲ EXPERIMENTAL FIGURE 9-40 The loxP-Cre recombination system can knock out genes in specific cell types. Two loxP sites are inserted on each side of an essential exon (2) of the target gene X (blue) by homologous recombination, producing a loxP mouse. Since the loxP sites are in introns, they do not disrupt the function of X. The Cre mouse carries one gene X knockout allele and an introduced cre gene (orange) from bacteriophage P1 linked to a cell-type-specific promoter (yellow). The cre gene is incorporated into the mouse genome by nonhomologous recombination and does not affect rying a germ-line knockout may have defects in numerous tissues or die before the developmental stage of interest. To address this problem, mouse geneticists have devised a clever technique to inactivate target genes in specific types of somatic cells or at particular times during development.
This technique employs site-specific DNA recombination sites (called loxP sites) and the enzyme Cre that catalyzes recombination between them. The loxP-Cre recombination system is derived from bacteriophage P1, but this site-specific recombination system also functions when placed in mouse cells. An essential feature of this technique is that expression of Cre is controlled by a cell-type-specific promoter. In loxP-Cre mice generated by the procedure depicted in Figure 9-40, inactivation of the gene of interest (X) occurs only in cells in which the promoter controlling the cre gene is active.
An early application of this technique provided strong evidence that a particular neurotransmitter receptor is important for learning and memory. Previous pharmacological and physiological studies had indicated that normal learning requires the NMDA class of glutamate receptors in the hippocampus, a region of the brain. But mice in which the gene encoding an NMDA receptor subunit was knocked out died the function of other genes. In the loxP-Cre mice that result from crossing, Cre protein is produced only in those cells in which the promoter is active. Thus these are the only cells in which recombination between the loxP sites catalyzed by Cre occurs, leading to deletion of exon 2. Since the other allele is a constitutive gene X knockout, deletion between the loxP sites results in complete loss of function of gene X in all cells expressing Cre. By using different promoters, researchers can study the effects of knocking out gene X in various types of cells.
neonatally, precluding analysis of the receptor's role in learning. Following the protocol in Figure 9-40, researchers generated mice in which the receptor subunit gene was inactivated in the hippocampus but expressed in other tissues. These mice survived to adulthood and showed learning and memory defects, confirming a role for these receptors in the ability of mice to encode their experiences into memory.
Dominant-Negative Alleles Can Functionally Inhibit Some Genes
In diploid organisms, as noted in Section 9.1, the phenotypic effect of a recessive allele is expressed only in homozygous individuals, whereas dominant alleles are expressed in heterozygotes. That is, an individual must carry two copies of a recessive allele but only one copy of a dominant allele to exhibit the corresponding phenotypes. We have seen how strains of mice that are homozygous for a given recessive knockout mutation can be produced by crossing individuals that are heterozygous for the same knockout mutation (see Figure 9-39). For experiments with cultured animal cells, however, it is usually difficult to disrupt both copies of a gene in order to produce a mutant phenotype. Moreover, the difficulty in producing strains with both copies of a gene mutated is often compounded by the presence of related genes of similar function that must also be inactivated in order to reveal an observable phenotype.
For certain genes, the difficulties in producing homozygous knockout mutants can be avoided by use of an allele carrying a dominant-negative mutation. These alleles are genetically dominant; that is, they produce a mutant phenotype even in cells carrying a wild-type copy of the gene. But unlike other

You paint the walls a pale lilac. Elden and one of the farmhands drag an old iron bed in from the storage room in the barn. You sand off the rust and paint it white. You hang sheer curtains and spread a bright quilt—one of dozens your grandmother made over the years—across the bed. As a final touch, you add an antique vanity—a splurge ...
