Steroids used in an inhaler
Whenever people think of steroids the initial ideas that come to mind are mostly negative. Since the Federal banning of anabolic steroids in 1990, illegal steroid use has become a growing issue. The major concern with them is how they can negatively affect the mind and body. While adding lean muscle mass and making a person stronger, it does not help strengthen the heart or lungs causeing a major decrease in agility.
Anabolic steroids that are made from natural hormones derived from male testosterone have the greatest positive effects when trying to build muscle. In order to build muscle mass the fastest and truly the only efficient way is by high protein diet and rigorous and constant weight training. Consequently the are more harmful in causeing random outbursts of rage which often leads to people geting injured or even killed.
Synthetic anabolic steroids are considered a "better" alternative to natural horomones because they offer the same results plus they give a more euphoric feeling without the side effect of extreme rage. unfortunately there is still a negative side effect to sex organs and increase facial hair growth and worst of all cause major inflammation to your liver.
Cortico steroids are prescribed by doctors to help treat medical injuries at a higher more rapid pace than the human body alone would take. Cortico steroids are helpful for arthritis and other inflammations in joints and most commonly used in medicines. Doctors use them in small amounts to treat specific muscle areas. they are also used in childrens inhalers. They would be fantastic to use in sports medicine but because they are considered a growth hormone they are still banned.
The video above is from a 1987 interview with a sports medicine doctor and an orthoscopic surgeon who discuss the affects of steroids through multiple research studies and person patient users. Its quite interesting considering it was filmed 3 years before steroids were federally banned and how much it is still an issue today.
