A new book on health care issues in gay men lists steroid use as problematic. The Windy City Media Group looks at a new book on gay health by Dr. Frank Spinelli.
Dr. Frank Spinelli never saw any books that directly focused on current, wide-ranging health issues affecting gay men, so he wrote one.
The result is The Advocate Guide to Gay Men's Health and Wellness ( Alyson Books; $18.99 ) , a first-of-its-kind resource for life-enhancing holistic medicine. Informational and inspirational, the book provides an in-depth, easy-to-read look at the issues that affect the emotional, mental, spiritual and physical well-being of gay men...
Spinelli stresses the importance of a good physical exam annually, one geared to a gay man.
The book itself is geared for the 40-and-over crowd, “but there's something in it for everyone,” he said, pointing out sections about gay sex and STDs.
“Being gay has a lot to do with how you see your health, how you talk to your doctor, including what you talk to your doctor about,” Spinelli said.
Dr. Spinelli says anabolic steroid and HGH use needs to be addressed in the gay community:
The book also addresses steroid and recreational drug use within the gay community—and, yes, both are a major problem, he said.
“When I moved to New York, I had never even heard of a circuit party, let alone knew what went on at them, including the amount of drugs consumed at them,” Spinelli said. “I really see crystal meth as a major problem in the gay community. I can't even begin to imagine how much we've underestimated its use. It's probably much higher than its given statistically.
“Anabolic steroids definitely are a problem within the gay community. They definitely are having an impact in the community. Same for human growth [ hormone ] .”
The book also offers information about gay man's physical exams and tips to avoid contracting a new bacterial skin disease that has been silently plaguing the gay community since 2002. Also, Spinelli writes about eating disorders, among other topics.
We would suspect of "Appearance Enhancement" as the root of the steroid and HGH use in this population. Certainly a topical subject.
judging by a NYT article, the bacterial skin disease isn't new, per se...

The only reason steroids are harmful is because they are illegal and this makes them less pure. Injecting dirty or homemade drugs is dangerous and can cause abscesses and even limb loss.
Legalize steroids and the only thing people will have to worry about is acne and a little hair loss.
It has been proven that clean steroids are far safer than junk food and are far far safer than smoking. Steroid use usually has a positive effect on health IF the steroids come from a clean source, SO LEGALIZE THEM!!!!

Ugg boots typically has a unique glimpse from other kinds of boots. It is in fact this distinctive glimpse that makes it stand out inside the crowd. The expression ugg is truly the shot for ugly. Thus ugg boot in simple fact meant unsightly boot. But these days these boots are no longer deemed as unpleasant, they are moreover thought of as one with the most fashionable and snug footwear from the style industry. Just imagine walking miles on an undulated terrain in a pair of higher heels! What would be the result?
