theanswer333 · 02-29-2008, 08:28 PM

Hey everyone...

Got asigned to write an arguement paper in my english class and first topic that came to mind was steriods, and who better to ask for a little info help then all the dungeon.

i'm taking the pro-side of the steriod issue so if anyone knowlegable could give me some pointsi could use of how steriods aren't as bad as they are claimed to be, that would be great. or if anyone has any great steriod info sites that would work as well.

the con-side is ovioulsy all over so that wont be too tough, but if you want to give your two-cents on some main points against them, that would be much appreciated

this sort of topic may have been posted before, so im gonna search around, but wanted to get this out before i forgot.

thanks to anyone who helps me out.

^ Nice find. Good place to start. Cons are easy... Pro's will be a little harder. Because you have to remember when you talk about pro's your taking "safe" amounts of gear. Like HRT and what not.

Yeah from what little I know, they are safe to take only when done in moderation and under a doctor's supervision. It seems that long term steroid abuse does little more than raise cholesterol levels, so if you are not at risk for heart complications then a safe amount shouldn't do too much harm.

If you dont have to write it in the context of pure steroid use as for sports or self image then you can probably hit on the points of

1. Assiting people with hiv or other similar degenerative virus's gain size/improve red cell blood count (I read in one of the steroid profiles from anabolics 2006 thats one of the effects, not sure about specific steroid)
2. The use of androgel or testosterone replacement therapy for men going through low testosterone.

Or just tell them

Pros: Use it
Cons: Trade tricks to get it

read the anabolics book. all info about what does what and real test studies. statistics about 3/4 way through your speech before the conclusion will kill it.

**Thomas_Rivera** · 03-04-2008, 08:04 PM

I think some of the info in Anabolics is anecdotal, there are a few steroids that haven't been tested heavily on human subjects.

anthk · 03-04-2008, 10:49 PM

well there you have a con
only give evidence of what you can prove statisticly

**Thomas_Rivera** · 03-04-2008, 11:59 PM

Haha, I didn't even think of that.

2 more.

Counterfiit or fake steroids and black market steroids.

There are going to be people that will make fake steroids or very low quality steroids and sell them off to people.

Black Market steroids also aren't regulated, so you can only assume that there are going to be a few top companies that are going to work their best to get their top quality stuff out.
