I get the feeling you're trying to avoid admitting that basically steroids used for bodybuilding (other than HGH, possibly) are not good for internal organs. Tell you what, you get back to me in ten years and let me know how it's going for you...
I'm about 11 years since my first cycle. I've also had a very proactive doctor who does full-spread blood/urine checks on me every 2 years as part of my physical.
Many anabolic steroids cause damage to your liver, of that I am aware. I do not know what effect they have on other organs such as the kidneys.
I would consider the following anabolic steroids of general benefit with little possible long-term damage:
- HGH (as I discussed)
- Primobolan Depot
- Deca Durabolin
- Winstrol
(all IM injected, except HGH with is fatty tissue injected)
If you have information to the contrary, I'd like to read it.
I've also used anabolics such as Sustanon (wich is basically 4 flavours of testosterone). Clearly it was hard on my body.
There are specific anabolics such as most oral anabolics (Dbol) that are directly short-term toxic to the liver. I do not use any of these. I need my liver to be there for when I do excessive recreational chems :D
I do know that Deca and Primobolan are used extensively for HIV patients to keep up lean tissue mass and keep their immune systems in good shape.
This is definately a subject that should be discussed in more depth. Please find some articles for us to read and I'll do the same.
I believe occasional (1/year) usage of anabolics are a great addition to a healthy lifestyle. We can discuss this further in other threads also.
