Dear Editors,
I was pleased to see the article on self medication in your recent publication; self-medication is, sometimes, a trans-person’s only recourse, and the right information can make a big difference.
I have only recently had access to injectible testosterone. Prior to that I used a prohormone, 4-androstenediol,17 and had quite satisfactory results which did not impact negatively upon my health.
I would like to bring a publication to your readers’ attention which I found on a Transgender Book and Video List: SuperT- The Complete Guide to Creating an Effective, Safe, and Natural Testosterone Supplement Program for Men and Women, written by Joshua Shackman, Greg Ptacek and Karl Ullis, MD, May 1999. This book is available from Amazon.com.
