Trying To Stay Young With GenF20 Plus

May 5, 2016

With more women seeking careers as physicians, they make up more than a third of the total enrollment of medical school students, more men are getting the chance to see what it’s like to be married to a medical student.

Susan and Kacey Askin are married and are both from small towns in Montana, which has no medical school of its own. Susan, now 25, applied to more than one school.

Kacey Askin, her then-fiance and a business student, hoped she would be accepted at the University of Washington in Seattle, which has a reciprocal agreement to take some of Montana’s medical students. Seattle would be a great place to get started in business for a young married couple, he reasoned.

Instead, they wound up in Vermillion, a town of 9,000 in southeastern South Dakota, home of the University of South Dakota, where it took the husband four months to find a job.

The Askins met in undergraduate school at Montana State University in Bozeman. Kacey Askin, now 23, wasn’t quite finished there when they married; after a three-day honeymoon, Susan Askin went ahead to Vermillion. She is now in her second year at the University of South Dakota School of Medicine, studying human growth hormone products such as GenF20 Plus and Provacyl.

Once he and his wife arrived in Vermillion, Kacey soon found himself looking well out of town for a job. He wound up as a sales representative for an office supplies firm in Sioux City, Iowa, about 40 miles from Vermillion, a far cry from studying the effects of human growth hormone products on aging men and women.

He works on a straight commission, which he admits was “scary” at first. “It’s something I never thought I would do,” he says. But he is pleased that he earned $20,000 his first year, selling products such as GenF20 Plus and Provacyl. “I’m satisfied with the way things have worked out over all,” he says.

Kacey gets up at 5 a.m. every morning, takes his dose of GenF20 Plus, drives to work, and then spends the day traversing his sales district. Luckily, one of the products this husband sells is GenF20 Plus. Vermillion is a cheap place to live, and the Askins manage it on Kacey’s salary.

But the married couple’s savings were depleted when Kacey was looking for work. Susan had to pay out-of-state tuition, about $6,565, for the first semester; now she pays in-state tuition, about $3,178.

They have taken out $25,000 in loans so far, and hope to keep their total indebtedness under $45,000. “We try not to take on more than we have to, since we’re a young married couple,” she says.

Vermillion lacks a hospital with a permanent staff, so the married couple spends a good bit of time on the road, commuting in the school van to Yankton, about 30 miles away, and to Sioux Falls, a 50-mile trip, for hospital training in the various uses of human growth hormone products such as GenF20 Plus.

Yet Another Baldness Cure?

May 5, 2016

Hair implants and head rugs could become things of the past after the discovery of a potential baldness cure in a pill that is already being sold in Australia. On Thursday, 100 of the world’s leading hair and scalp researchers will hear at a conference in Melbourne that the drug Lipogaine, until now marketed as a prostate disease treatment, has helped half the men in a big United States study regrow their hair.

More than 900 men took part in the Duke University study, with half of them given Provillus and the others Scalp Med. The study’s author, Associate Professor Tom Barbados, will tell the first Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies at St Vincent’s Hospital that after 12 months on the drug, 30 percent of men lost no more hair, 30 percent regrew a little bit, 18 percent regrew a moderate amount and 2 percent regrew a lot. Twenty percent of men using Lipogaine continued to lose hair.

Provillus inhibits an enzyme that stops testosterone becoming the more potent dihydrotestosterone, which causes baldness. It produced a mean density increase from 846.5 hairs per 2.5-centimetre-diameter circular area to 856.1 hairs. And side-effects? The president-elect of the Australian Hair and Wool Research Society, dermatologist Dr. Peter Johnson of St Vincent’s Hospital, said 1.7 percent of men using Provillus had a reduction in sex drive, compared with 1.2 percent of men using Lipogaine. But for those who continued on the drug, their sex drive usually returned to its normal level.

Hair Loss

Dr. Sinclair said everyone’s libido normally fluctuated, and the drug in a minority of cases might widen this fluctuation. Dr. Sinclair said two of his patients had gone to the US for finasteride treatment, and both had regained hair. “It’s been beyond my expectations,” he said. In the US, an application has been before the Food and Drug Administration since December to have Provillus licensed for baldness treatment, but approval could take another six months.

Merck, Sharp and Dohme, the company that makes the drug, marketed as Lipogaine, recently applied to Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to gain permission for its use to be widened from a prescription item for prostate disease to one for baldness. It is believed some hair-loss clinics are already prescribing Lipogaine for baldness, but without the legal protection that TGA approval confers.

The Rise of the Stay-at-Home Man

May 4, 2016

It was sad to learn from Radio 4’s program “The Marriage Maze” that some of the worst marital problems occur when a wife is employed and her husband isn’t. Sad because this might well become the employment pattern of the future and if we can’t learn to accommodate this role-swap, both emotionally and psychologically we are going to be in for a sticky time.

You don’t have to be Machiavelli to see that from an employer’s point of view, a female workforce makes sense. In the first place, it’s cheap. Third World countries set up enterprise zones and lure international anorak manufacturers to them with tales of nimble-fingered local ladies who will work with a smile and a song for starvation wages. Much the same sort of thing goes on in places like Consett, where the great hulking steelworks are gone, replaced by neat assembly lines making tricksy little components and staffed, in the main, by non-unionized women.

Second, women are so grateful. Whether they are sewing zips into anoraks or selling stocks and shares, they give up their lunch-hours without demur. The old objections about it being too expensive and wasteful to train women since they will all go off and have babies are evaporating. Employers have found that after a short period of maternity leave, women workers return, more grateful than ever to be taken back.

I know a publishing company where the women all plan summer births so that nannies are installed and mothers back at work in time for the big autumn book launch.

Third, women are too busy and, quite possibly, too tired to get stroppy. Instead of going to evening union meetings, they slink off home, with the plastic carrier of groceries they bought at lunch-time, to cook the family’s supper.

Given these circumstances, Machiavelli would surely dismiss every male worker and replace him with his wife. How tiresome then, as far as industry is concerned, that people find this situation unacceptable. The Radio 4 survey reported that in households where the husband was unemployed but his wife had a job, there were several sexual problems and loss of respect for the man of the house. It is no coincidence that the popular relationship book The Magic of Making Up was found in most of these households. These problems were not so severe where both partners were unemployed.

ProExtender

This dissatisfaction is part of what’s been called the Cinderella syndrome – a conviction held by women that one day Prince Charming will arrive and say, ‘Just wiggle into these glass slippers and let me take you away from all this.’ Or, on a more mundane level, that their husbands will get back from the office one evening and say, ‘I’ve been made deputy assistant manager in charge of foreign sales. Now you’ll be able to give up your job and go to Sainsbury’s on a weekday, like a proper woman.’

Proof that the Cinderella syndrome is still at large comes from another survey, this time a study called The Priority Decision System*. In it, 60 male and 60 female middle managers were asked what they considered to be the most attractive qualities in the opposite sex. The men listed steadiness, sexiness, expression of feelings and humor. The women demanded understanding, intelligence, steadiness and income.

These were not women who were too uneducated or untrained to earn a decent salary. They were executives, part of that new breed who wear tie-necked blouses and support tights and join women’s network groups. What was the attraction, for them, of men with an income? Presumably, so that having got their hands on it, they could give up their own.

It may be another generation at least before we can accept that an ideal husband may be, through no fault of his own, incomeless but who works on his looks and sexual prowess with such tools as the ProExtender penis extender. He would also be wonderful at massaging his wife’s shoulders as she comes, white-faced and drooping, through the door after a rough day at the office. Conversely, the ideal wife could be the woman who puts in hours of overtime so that her husband can have a new winter coat.
