for all the guys who don't have problems with liver elevations, there are those who will.
i had a friend who called me up and was quite worried- he's like 'dude- something is wrong my eyes are turning yellow'.
turns out he had jaundice, and had only been running 50mg of thai dbol for 8 weeks at the time, with no other orals.
i'll stay on injectable test year round, but after that orals i would not fool around with and tell everyone the same.
any compound that affects your organs, and puts them under stress i feel should be handled carefully. diuretics, orals, painkillers- all of them. not worth complications later in life should they arise. better safe than sorry. i have always looked at this like a marathon and not a sprint and want to continue to do it for some time, so keeping my organs healthy is key.
Your friend might have had "existing liver problems" which were magnified by the Dbol. similar to a man with high blood pressure, taking steroids and then blaming the steroids for his high BP.
i've done the blood work, so i know how oral AAS react inside "my" body.
I would like to see an actual test done on this subject, but that won't happen in this country.
I do agree with the rest of your post, but i know 100's of people who have taken very high doses of orals with zero problems.
"for all the guys who don't have problems with liver elevations, there are those who will."
Very true, which is why i tell everyone to use AAS under a doctors supervision, or at least get checked out every few months.
