I am currently on testosterone replacement therapy, and concerned that adding this hormone from outside sources will even further decrease my testes own production of T.
Does anyone know if HGH (human growth hormone) has been shown to induce the testes to produce more of their own testosterone?
Or has anyone heard of any other legitimate, medical treatment (I'm not into herbs, spices, acupuncture, or other types of voodoo), that would do the same?

When you introduce foreign hormones into your body your own body will typically seize producing as much of the same as before to keep the levels in check. If, however, you're introducing hormones because you don't have sufficient levels due to some problem or another, then does it really matter? If normal level is 100% and you introduce 50% more, then the body will only make 50%. If you're making 10% and you introduce 100% then in my logic your body would stop making it altogether, but you're already so deficient that it doesn't matter much. Once you stop introducing hormones your body should start reproducing its own again.
