This is an interesting site. I am sorry for the loss of your son. It is too bad, however, that you trust so-called "experts" who are beholden to Big Pharma that will do anything to take blame away from other drugs. Follow the money. The real evil in this world is the poisons that are being pushed on us by the pseudo-science that we refer to as Psychology. These "experts" are professional liars, deceivers, and manipulators.

Please do not allow these sociopaths and psychopaths in their white lab coats to do your thinking for you. I agree that your son was too young to be messing around with his hormones, you are jousting with windmills while the REAL CRIMINALS are getting a free ride. Do not be a "useful idiot" for their cause. Remember how the Nazi's and the Bolsheviks medicated anyone who disagreed with them. As a conservative myself I also see the parallel after my own experience.

Please Mr. Hooper, do not be fooled by these liars. Do research on them and learn how much they are paid to look at you, lie to your face, and then laugh at you later. They've done it enough already. But when is it too much?

If you want to demonize PED's, that's your prerogative. But please do not let the true villains in our society laugh at both of us all the way to the bank.

Dear sir, I respect you really to your social work. This is very Important in our society life. I like this to your work.

hello,

It makes me laugh how little you all know and how easily the media brain washes you. Continue to live blind to truth... since its obviously so easy for you all to do.

True steroid awareness focus' on both the benefits, as well as the negatives, on anabolic steroids. Upon furthering your knowledge on anabolic steroids, you will find that the benefits of steroids, when taking the correct amount (which is ONLY as much as the body produces naturally) actually mimic what the body produces naturally. Serious side effects occur when the user becomes an abuser, double or tripling the natural amount produced by the body. Abusing anabolic steroids in this manner will effect neurological and physiological systems to the extreme. This is when depression and anger are prevalent. If you overuse, those mental characteristics become excelled and that is when suicide and rage take place. it is wrong to jump to say that anabolic steroids are to blame; it is the abuser who is in the wrong and should have taken the extra precautions to education themselves before abusing. This foundation should fall under "Substance Abuse" and not an anti-anabolic steroid.

good luck

Good luck with Taylor Hooton's Foundation! I wish for the best. Greece supports you!

Again,you guys show that the USA can lead positive ways to avoid drugs. Bless your team!

I just watched a show about your son on TV. It described my son to a tee. We have been to so many doctors and therapist to outpatient drug rehab programs where he always tested negative to drug use, with no success. My son is into power lifting and always swore he didn't do steroids but after seeing the show, i'm convinced i now know where to look for more help. Thanks for sharing your tragedy with me and hopefully i can seek help now that will help us before its to late.

If we're going to stop it at the top, we have to stop at the bottom. Great message and nice site.

A few months back I was hanging out with a friend on a Saturday afternoon. My friend is a senior in high school. We began talking about his football team and his future in football. As the conversation went on he began to tell me how he was lifting in the off-season, and how he met this guy at his gym. This man knew who he was from seeing his pictures in the local newspapers. He told him that he knew a way to help him put on extra muscle fast. My friend was very intrigued by the idea of coming back the following season in a lot better shape. So he decided to try this guy’s method. It turns out that his method was to use human growth hormones, commonly known as HGH. When he told me this I was in complete shock. It turns out that he had been taking HGH for the previous three months. I was even more shocked when he told me that he had told a few of his friends on the team, and they began using also. I immediately thought of the talk Donald had given me at a baseball camp I attended over the previous summer. So I took my friend to the computer and showed him the Taylor Hooton Foundation website. I showed him the story about Taylor, the story of other kids, and the facts about steroid use. After seeing this he was in complete shock. He knew steroids were bad for you, but didn't realize that so many athletes his age had died as a result of abusing substances such as the one he was using. We continued to talk about it for about an hour. After that day he told his teammates what I had told him, and showed them the site as well. From that day on he, and his teammates, never used HGH again. I would like to thank Donald and the rest of the members of the Taylor Hooton Foundation for all the great work they are doing. If it had not been for the talk I received from the foundation I would not have been able to help my friend, and God only knows what may have happened to him. Thank you again THF for helping me save my friend.

Mr. Hooten,
I wish you continued success with educating the youth about the horrible effects of steriod abuse. I noticed that the NY Yankees are a partner organization of the Taylor Hooten Foundation. My question is, "What has Alex Rodriguez specifically done in the last year since he announced at his press conference that he was joining the Foundation?" I do not see any reference to his efforts. God bless you and your family and keep fighting the good fight!

I wanted to say thank you to all involved in the Taylor Hooton Foundation for their dedication to such an important issue. I have been a life long fan of baseball and in particular the Cardinals. It is such a horrible realization that my generation of baseball heroes are in fact not heroes at all. Thanks again for all you have done and continue to do.

I am doing a report for my english class on the dangers of anabolic steroid use. I need to have a primaray source and after hearing what happened to your son, I think you will be able to give me a lot of information. It would be great if you would be able to email me

i just watched the episode of 30 days that involved your story and i was very sad to hear this story.
All the best in the future. Im glad that such a person will not sway your focus to keep doing what you are doing.
