Racona,
Yes, what you linked to is a valid medical article. However, it's also something that the readers should understand is being studied in RATS and not a surefire easy castration method for humans.
Should this prove to be a viable alternative to pricey surgery, though, I am sure that access to the sodium type needed to do this will suddenly become extremely tight.
The medical profession doesnt' like it when you cut into their obscenely high income. For that matter, should any easy method of safe castration come along, or any method of ANY easy cure for ANYTHING that is currently a "cash cow", then it's sure to get buried right next to Jimmy Hoffa.
What we want to be made clear is that while we appreciate the information on promising research, we don't want everyone reading it and racing right out to try it!

Well of course not... Although I don't buy into the conspiracy theory as much as you.. lol. I think medical practicioners should be more worried about socalized medicine headed down the pipe in the near term then this.

Re: Chemoablation
Here's a response to this thread from the author of the original article:
Dear Sir,
Initially I did not take it serious when I received your first mail. The reason for that is I have never taken into account such a population when designing the procedure. Nevertheless, I haven't known the presence of this population. Now I realize that some misunderstanting evolved on this topic.
First of all, no clinical trial exists yet and probably won't due to the ethical reasons. We attended to this trial in men with metastaic prostate carcinoma before doing orchiectomy but could not get the permission from the national ethical committee. I can't recommend this procedure to this population to do themselves since pain will be a major problem due to two reasons.
One reason for intense pain is the distension of the tunica albuginea of the testicles and other is due to necrotic effect of hypertonic saline. Since there is no clinical trial, we do not know to what extend this method will be effective in destroying the testicular tissue totally. Rat testis is not similiar to human ones because it might not be possible all testicular tissue. Testes have a limited capacity to harbor enough volume of chemoablative to destroy all tissue.
I would not be able to write my thoughts on this topic to the site you indicated because I don't have permission .You can forward this mail to the group if you wish.
With regards.

Re: Chemoablation
I agree. Which is what I was saying earlier:
Just say no to non-prescribed injection of anything anywhere into your body.
There is no free lunch.
So far, removal of the orchis is the only sure fire way to (without prescribed drugs) permanently and significantly reduce testosterone, which in turn will reduce/eliminate libido and which in turn will expose one to the potential of undesirable health issues that result from low testosterone.
PS: Now that the Dr. knows that there is a market to nullify testicles, maybe he will get more support and funding. When it comes to making money, ethics get overruled.
