Let’s Play Make Believe

[caption id="attachment_428" align="alignleft" width="204"] Like a Knight in Shining armor Anavar is a woman's best friend![/caption]

Let’s pretend there was a magical potion that could stop the wasting effects of Aids.  It could heal burn victims in half the time.  It could cut surgical recovery time in half.  A magical elixir so safe on the liver it is used to TREAT liver problems.  It permanently burns fat, permanently builds muscle, and makes you look better.  Now what if we weren't playing make believe, A magical panacea such as this did exist, and its name was Anavar.

Unfortunately the frightened peasants attacked poor Anavar for the alleged crimes of its brethren.  With torches and pitchforks the frightened peasants emboldened by the immaculate opinions of news casters and ignorant soccer moms stormed the king's palace and demanded blood.  And poor Anavar was destroyed....

Now is a bright new era, for the hypocrites need Anavar's help! So our knight in shining armor has been resurrected. It's new incarnation is known as Oxandrin.

What The Hell am I Talking About?  

Anavar was a miracle drug used for so many healing purposes. Most western medicine is just an expensive bandaid, not fixing anything, just masking symptoms for an enormous price. But Anavar could actually heal injuries, burns, regrow lost muscle to Aids victims.  But you see, Anavar is a steroid. And not just any steroid, but an oral steroid.

Oral steroids are know for being extra bad.  The are supposed to be really bad for your liver and supposed to shut down natural testosterone production.  But not Anavar. Anavar is so safe on the liver at reasonable doses that the FDA actually approved it for TREATING Liver disease.  Think about it for a minute.  If the worst thing a steroid can supposedly do is mess up your liver and even the super anal and cowardly FDA approved it for ON LABEL treatment of alcoholic hepatitis, the most common liver problem…..how bad could it be?

Instead of crushing natural testosterone production it actually mildly suppress it, but get this: after you stop, LH and natural testosterone levels rise higher than before!

I bet you think Anavar is to good to be true right? It's only the third inning, grab a beer and enjoy the show. Anavar can cut burn healing time in half in patients with 40% or more of their body burned.  Having surgery? With Anavar you can heal twice as quickly.  Want to lose fat? Anavar burns fat directly and indirectly, and the fat stays off for months even without diet or exercise.  This includes the life threatening visceral fat.  Anavar builds muscle directly and the muscle gains were permanent in tested subjects.

Here Is The Problem

So the people who know a good drug when they see one are bodybuilders.  They capitalized on the other benefits of Anavar. Aside from building muscle, cutting recovery time in half, and burning fat it has other more specific strengths.  It increases strength and it doesn't aromatase, so it dosn't turn to into estrogen. This means your skin shrink wraps around your muscles if your super lean due to not having water in your skin from estrogen bloat.  That, and the fact that it is the safest steroid ever made, is why Anavar is popular with women as well.  A super low dose (5 mg, 1/10th a male dose) will help women, but won't turn them into guys like most other steroids.  Over 20 mg will. It also inhibits cortisol, aromatase, SHBG, and other pro fat, anti muscle hormones.  It really is as close to perfect as it gets.

The Tragic Death of Anavar

In the ‘80s there was the steroids in baseball nonsense.  And as usual the people with the least education make the decisions.  The country at large acted like steroids were Satan's personal creation and damned them and any who used them to maximum security prison.  Searle, feared an angry mob of frightened peasants would storm their corporate office for daring to make a ‘Steroid’. Despite it being one of the best medicines ever created, Searle stopped production out of this fear.

A New Hope

Now that those same frightened peasants are aging and need erections TRT (steroids) is all the rage. Who cares about hypocrisy right? Oxandrin is Anavar with a new name by a different company. Just like a parent telling a 5 year old that their dog that was run over “Is in doggy heaven now” doctors tell their patients who they prescribe testosterone and Anavar they are on ‘TRT and Oxandrin’.

To me, this is a fantastic drug.  I'm glad its back in production.
