Human Growth Hormone is Safe

Synthetic amino acid sequences that are available in the form of injections, sprays, or tablets are identical to the natural Human Growth Hormone produced by the human body.  As such, taking only enough hormone to restore the body’s HGH to youthful levels is not dangerous, unless you suffer from certain conditions. We will review who should and shouldn’t take Human Growth Hormone in Chapter 7.Normal, healthy adults experience little to no risk of bodily damage resulting from the use of HGH.

As with anything, excesses can cause adverse results, so care must be taken.  However, in terms of taking low-dose Human Growth Hormone to alleviate symptoms of aging or to help advance weight loss, deliberate and regulated therapy is safe.  It is advisable to begin treatment under the care of a physician or anti-aging specialist who can help determine the proper dosage to achieve the results you desire.  It is also important to check your HGH levels regularly in order to monitor and regulate your dosage as needed.

Researchers have studied HGH for over sixty years.  Doctors and endocrine specialists have been using Human Growth Hormone to treat Growth Hormone Deficiency, Idiopathic Short Stature and other conditions for more than thirty years.  In the high profile study by Dr. Edmond Chein and Dr. L. Cass Terry, more than 800 people over 40 years old were tested with Human Growth Hormone.  Their study proved that with proper dosing and administration, HGH therapy provided considerable positive results and no adverse side effects at all.  It is also important to note that in over thirty years of Human Growth Hormone use as a therapy and treatment, not even one single death has occurred as a result.

Furthermore, most of the scientific and medical literature on the topic of Human Growth Hormone reinforces the positive benefits of HGH therapy.  It is rare to find any accounts of negative experiences with normal HGH use.  Below are some quotes from medical experts on the topic of normal HGH use in healthy humans.

• “In an article that appeared in the 1990 New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Daniel Rudman and his colleagues at The University of Wisconsin released the results of their treatment of 12 men aged 61 to 80 with intramuscular growth hormone. After 6 months, these 12 men had lost 14% of their body fat and gained an average of 8.8% muscle mass. Their bone density increased and their skin became thicker and firmer. Wrinkles disappeared and sexual performance was improved in several. Dr. Rudman concluded that, ‘the overall deterioration of the body that comes with growing old is not inevitable. These injections appear able to reverse 10 years of aging with one year of treatment.’” A Physicians Guide To Natural Health Products That Work By James Howenstine MD, page 233

• “HGH mobilizes/lowers stored body fat 14.4% to be burned for energy, extends exercise capacity (and exercise spurs HGH), and reduces fatigue. HGH rebuilds damaged heart muscles, the liver, kidneys, and lungs, pulmonary disorders, improves Oxygen uptake in emphysema patients, reverses organ shrinkage; lowers high blood pressure, hypertension; counters diabetes by normalizing sugar metabolism gradually. Growth hormone burns fats, cholesterol, atherosclerosis plaques, viruses, chronic fatigue, (prostate) cancer, Immune suppression, autoimmune self-attack (rheumatoid arthritis), reduces 2-3 times higher than normal Natural Killer Lymphocyte levels; signals body tissue repair, obesity; enlarged prostate.” Anti-Aging Manual by Joseph B Marion, page 10

• “Considerable research has been done on the effects of HGH over the past decade. In studies on middle aged and elderly people, HGH supplementation has increased muscle mass, skin thickness, and bone mass, while decreasing body fat.” Disease Prevention And Treatment by Life Extension Foundation, page 539

• “For people over 40, human growth hormone therapy may be indicated. HGH raises IGF-1 levels leading to improved insulin sensitivity, loss of body fat, and increased lean body mass. HGH therapy is administered and monitored by an anti-aging specialist.” 
Disease Prevention And Treatment by Life Extension Foundation, page 1091

• “At the December 1996 Anti-Aging Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, I heard Dr. Bengt-Ake Bengtsson, one of the leading human growth hormone researchers in the world, discuss his landmark study of 333 patients with low levels of HGH. Dr. Bengtsson discovered that these patients were twice as likely to die from heart disease as the age-matched control group. Among patients treated with HGH replacement therapy, there was a uniform decrease in cardiovascular risk, as well as weight loss and a favorable increase in HDL and lower LDL blood fractions.” Optimum Health by Stephen T Sinatra MD, page 257

• “According to reports in scientific literature, benefits from HGH replacement therapy include a reversal of declining pulmonary function, decreased body fat, increased capacity to exercise, increased bone mass in people with osteoporosis, and the improvement or reversal of many other age-related symptoms and disorders.” Prescription For Nutritional Healing by Phyllis A Balch CNC and James F Balch MD, page 713

• “Researchers wondered how supplemental HGH might affect healthy adults. Some work on this question had already been done by exercise physiologist Douglas Crist and his colleagues at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in Albuquerque in 1987. Crist and his associates worked with eight healthy, athletic young people, five men and three women, all between the ages of 22 and 33. After six weeks of getting HGH injections three times a week, these young adults—already in good shape—had nevertheless gained an average of close to three pounds of muscle while losing an average 1.5 percent of their body fat. Their overall ratio of muscle to fat—a key sign of being well conditioned—improved by an average of close to 25 percent.” Stopping the Clock by Ronald Klatz and Robert Goldman, page 50
