In 1998, Dr. Kryger developed a topical hormone cream in response to the needs of a patient who was rendered deficient in all hormones regulated by his pituitary gland, located in the center of the brain. Following this success, Dr. Kryger conducted clinical trials utilizing a transdermal hormonal delivery system to treat men with testosterone deficiencies. In the course of these studies, he identified many men in their early 30s seeking hormone therapy because their sex drive was reduced or even non-existent. Many stated that they felt like old men.... and lab tests showed their testosterone levels had dropped prematurely. The doctor wondered why. In searching for the cause of this accelerating problem, Dr. Kryger focused specifically on a possible environmental cause. The revelation in January 2001 that dioxins had been identified as carcinogins (cancer-causing agents) triggered a search for other possible problems related to dioxins. Dr. Kryger's findings will be reported in a pending article, Testosterone and PCBs . Dr. Kryger has a full-time medical practice in Monterey, California focusing on Men's Health and manages the websites www.WellnessMD.com and www.Testocreme.com where men and women can get current, practical information on bioidentical hormone replacement, preventive medicine and hormone balancing techniques. In July 2001, Dr. Kryger formed Testocreme® LLC, which has patented a topical 10% testosterone cream. Details of this revolutionary treatment for men are available at www.Testocreme.com . Recently, the company has also developed a unique hormone therapy for women, and is currently seeking FDA approval to bring these exciting new products to market. In September 2004, Dr. Kryger wrote and published his first book
on hormone therapy and the relationship between sexual drive and
hormones. Listen
