Product Description
Who would think that a simple game of Shirts and Skins could bring terror to a young boy s heart?This ordinary childhood ritual can feel like a fate worse than death for a boy with Gynecomastia, and in some cases, a game like this can put a boy in real danger.Gynecomastia, the development of breast tissue in a male, can range from pea-sized to fully developed breast.The inability of the liver to process all of testosterone in the bloodstream causes the excess to be converted to estrogen.Some estimate it happens to 90% of boys to some degree.For most, it dissolves once the hormones stabilize and the liver adjusts to the new levels. For a certain percentage of males, the hormone stabilization happens later and the growth of breast tissue is obvious and permanent, causing for many severe emotional harm and often a lifetime of body self-consciousness. This self-consciousness will prevent them from feeling normal and may stop them from participating in many of the rites of becoming a man. There is no agreement as to what percentage of boys develops Gynecomastia and in what percentage it does not go away.Gynecomastia in and of itself is a benign condition.However, it does signal that there are other things going on in the body.Hypothyroidism, Klinefelter Syndrome, Gilberts syndrome, Hepatitis, alcoholism, are common causes of gynecomastia.The increase of obesity in adults and children has also contributed to the epidemic.In recent years, prescription medications including Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, the SSRIs, acid reflux drugs, and prostate drugs are causing a wave of adult onset Gynecomastia that impacts men around the world.This condition is destroying childhoods, self-confidence and the lives of men and boys.Gynecomastia.org gets 100,000 hits per month; men, boys, and parents look there for answers and support.Most have never heard of this condition until their family doctor identifies it.Often that doctor is unaware of the cause and ...

Good Book, Missing One Thing
Jeffrey Mingo does a through and succinct review of the book in his customer review. I agree with everything he says so I won't rehash our identical opinions.

That said, Jeffrey mentions how this book is about compassion for the situation but doesn't really offer any solutions. I agree, that is the missing piece.

We just found this report and it was a jump start to a solution. Nice complement to this book. Recommended.Man Boobs Report: Resources for Gynecomastia / Moobs / Male Breast Reduction [same as free report at www.ManBoobsReport.com] (Man Boobs Report Resources ... / ManBoobs / Male Breast Reduction )

For Us Moob Males!
This author is juggling a lot of JUGS, if you know what I mean.He's trying to speak to males who "develop" when they are young and when they are old; those who want their endowments chopped off and those who embrace them; those who are going through a phase and those who will be endowed forever without surgery.He's really trying to address the countless people who have their own myriad perspectives.I thank him for trying to embrace all readers, but this book does have a scant, scrapbook-ish feel that many serious readers may not like.This book is filled with males who wear sweaters to hide their endowments, but for me, sweaters are what make them stand out, so I wear vests for concealment.This book also quotes countless men who say they avoid romantic unions because they don't want others to see their set-up, but I would think moobs are not a reason to actively choose celibacy.Mr. Happy Downstairs still has his needs and priorities.

One of the author's largest goals is to tell moob males that they are not alone.Like a lot of LGBT youth in the closet have valiantly testified, moob males think it's only them.I feel that same way too.One thin guy in junior high had them and one of the men shown in prison in the film "Slam" had them, but I've never seen any other male besides myself with them.Then again, the author says 90% of other people don't notice and many moobs don't last forever.But if a teenaged male had bigger-than-norm nipples or a senior citizen had sagging pecks, I would not include them with us stand-out moob men.I really wish this book could have had a historical section speaking about famous men and how they addressed their moobs.

Again, the book emphasizes, "You are not alone."With speak of "A-levels" and "mates," the interviewees for this book are not all Americans.That's great that this book gives space to English-speaking moob men across the globe.However, when one has to find a person all the way in other countries to come out as a moob man, it breaks the idea that moob males are everywhere.Also, in nations with universal healthcare, perhaps surgery would be covered or given at a reduced price.

Speaking of price, the author lists all kinds of tricks to get insurance to cover the surgery, but I get the sense that if a male wants it, he's going to have to cough up loot for the operation.The author never says how much it costs and I imagine that many men would give up the idea of surgery if it were too expensive.I wish the author would have said more about Klinefelter's Syndrome as well.

This book is not going to win any awards.Still, I'm glad someone made a book about a matter that is very important to us males that have moobs.This book is a good starting place for males of our kind.The book tries to speak to parents, partners, and coaches of moob males, but I think a moob male might be insulted if he got this book as a gift or saw a loved one reading it and staring in his direction.Perhaps, I should applaud the book for bringing up something that so many people, even men in the group, want to keep hidden or silent. ...

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Gynecomastia," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Gynecomastia in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Gynecomastia when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Gynecomastia, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Chapters: Gynecomastia, Mastitis, Breast Disease, Breast Lump. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 33. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Gynecomastia, pronounced , is the development of abnormally large mammary glands in males resulting in breast enlargement. The term comes from the Greek gyne (stem gynaik-) meaning "woman" and mastos meaning "breast". The condition can occur physiologically in neonates (due to female hormones from the mother; this is called witches' milk), in adolescence, and in the elderly. In adolescent boys the condition is often a source of distress, but for the large majority of boys whose pubescent gynecomastia is not due to obesity, the breast development shrinks or disappears within a couple of years. The causes of common gynecomastia remain uncertain, although it has generally been attributed to an imbalance of sex hormones or the tissue responsiveness to them; a root cause is rarely determined for individual cases. Breast prominence can result from hypertrophy of breast tissue, chest adipose tissue (fat) and skin, and is typically a combination. Breast prominence due solely to excessive adipose is often termed pseudogynecomastia or sometimes lipomastia. Gynecomastia should be distinguished from work hypertrophy of the pectoralis muscles caused by exercise, e.g. swimming, bench press. Puffy Nipples is among the most common forms of gynecomastia. This glandular tissue accumulation is concentrated under and typically confined to the areola, or can be slightly extended outside the areola forming a dome shaped appearance to the areola. Pure Glandular. In bodybuilders this may be a result of the use of anabolic steroids.

born without testosterone?
I have Kallmans Syndrome and my body makes little or no testosterone.I am on a hormone replacement regime and it works.I often ask other men why they accept the decline in physical condition that comes with age.The fatigue, the loss of muscle mass may be natural.Needing reading glasses is natural.We sure get glasses when we need them.I am 49 and appreciate the sustained control I have over my hormones.I am glad there is a book on the subject.How sad for those who just don't understand. kd

Every man should read this
Every man should be aware of the information in this book. Additionally, physicians should read the book to understand the latest information about testosterone supplementation. I bought the Testosterone for Life because I was beginning to experience the effects normally attributed to aging and was aware that low testosterone may be the cause. My treatment will start soon.

Testosterone... a bit more detail please
There are surprisingly few up-to-date books on the subject of testosterone. This book is definitely worth reading as it corrects a number of testosterone myths and references the latest research. Morgentaler identifies what testosterone levels are considered low from a specialists point of view... which is useful if your doctor is convinced your levels are normal. He identifies which of the testosterone tests are most useful... and which of the measurements are of greatest interest (bioavailable testosterone).

This book could have included a bit more information about what influences testosterone production... as Morgentaler doesn't address the potential dietary or physiological causes of low testosterone. A flow chart of the steps in Testosterone production would have been useful. A bit more on the drugs used to stimulate testosterone production (their structure and method of action) would also have been enlightening. Alternatively a bit on common natural approaches to boosting testosterone... or at least listing the substances commonly cited and proving/disproving their effectiveness.

By the time you get to the end of the book you feel a little like you've got the same message over and over... so there's room for enhancing the delivery.

Nice effort... but overall it feels like there should have been a little bit more in this book. So here's hoping for an enhanced second edition.

:-)

On the whole, an interesting book
As someone with prostate cancer, I was somewhat disappointed that the book did not cover the subject of testosterone and prostate cancer in greater detail, particularly with reference to testosterone replacement therapy for those already diagnosed with prostate cancer. The author seems unaware of the use of saliva testing for testosterone and other hormones, which allows a person to inexpensively monitor their hormone levels. Nevertheless, the author provides valuable insights into the original work by Charles Huggins and others, showing the commonly held fears that testosterone therapy may increase the risk of prostate cancer are almost certainly unfounded.

What Testosterone Supplements Can and Cannot Do
Age brings declining testosterone levels. Low testosterone levels are associated with arteriosclerosis, diabetes, osteoporosis, erectile dysfunction, increased fat, and decreased libido, energy, and muscle mass. While common in men over 50, it is estimated that only 5% of American men with low testosterone levels get treatment for it.

Urologist Dr. Abraham Morgentaler is a Clinical Associate Professor at Harvard and Director of Men's Health Boston, a practice focusing on men's health issues. His ©2008 book is very readable and comprehensive. He explains how to recognize low testosterone levels, the blood tests, and the treatment options. It is a perfect book to read before seeing a doctor about testosterone so you know what to ask. The book also includes fascinating detective work that dispelled the myths about testosterone therapy causing prostate cancer.

Most testosterone is bound and not available. Some testosterone is converted to estradiol (an estrogen hormone), and a small fraction of testosterone is free. Increasing testosterone also results in more testosterone being converted to estradiol. Dr. Morgentaler believes the most important test result is not the testosterone level but the free (unbound) testosterone level. He dismisses estradiol levels as of little concern unless extreme and causing symptoms. An editorial in the May 2010 issue of Life Extension strongly disagrees. It cites studies indicating that even slightly elevated estrogen levels in men greatly increase the risk of coronary artery disease and the risk of stroke.

My own anti-aging physician, who has a holistic orientation, places a lot of emphasis on the ratio of free testosterone to estradiol. He also favors human chorionic gonadotropin injections as they get the testes to produce more testosterone while other modalities (e.g., creams, patches, pellets) add testosterone but result in a lower testosterone production from the testes. This is an issue if you are concerned about using a more natural, holistic approach, and/or if you want to keep sperm count optimal for having children.

With the exception of the concerns noted, this is an excellent and very helpful book.

Description:
Genital malformations constitute the most common birth defects in man and domestic animals and occur frequently in males since the participation of many genes is required for sex differentiation to proceed in the male direction. The precise dose, timing, and coordination needed for their expression add to the proneness of various stages in male sex differentiation to external influences. The emerging insight, through the identification of genes involved in the sex differentiation cascade, is that over 85% of sex anomalies in human and domestic animal populations are not attributable to chromosome aberrations or to mutations in a known gene. Since a majority of severely malformed individuals are incapable of reproduction, the high rates of these defects have to be results either of new mutations or of collaboration of environmental factors with genes. Increase in specific malformations in domestic animals often indicates increased concentration of liability genes brought together in the conceptus by inbreeding. However, in human populations where inbreeding is not the norm such increases may reflect environment-induced new mutations or interaction of environmental agents with hormone-sensitive genes. This review summarizes the information currently available on the genetics of major events in male sex differentiation and briefly discusses the collaborative role that environment may play in disrupting different components of this process. ...
