Re: beyondhom Re: rubric help & thoughts needed

Irene,

You forgot to include the link to the article you're referencing which is http://www.uwhealth.org/news/hgh-more-dangerous-health-gamble-than-fountain-of-youth/11939

This article is about people and athletes, as they age, who have natural decline of hormones, indiscriminately using HGH to boost levels back to their youthful days, the warnings are for those people.  The negative side effects usually occur when one tries to bring levels back to those of a much younger age while the body is aging, which is abnormal. 

What I'm writing about is someone who MAY have abnormally LOW levels of HGH.  Was this child even tested for HGH levels?  If not, how do we know she is "normal"?   This type of case doesn't require lifelong HGH injections, just until puberty.  

Since you wrote "allopaths will try any poison..."  using Dr. Elson, an allopathic endocrinologist's opinion,, to refute other allopathic ideas and methods, doesn't mean she is the absolute authority.  Since you like to read research, here's some of Dr. Elson's, so you can see how well an allopath researcher she may be...

I take hormone replacement therapy, not HGH, not because I'm looking for the fountain of youth, but because after menopause, my levels dropped way below normal on some key ones and I had no energy.  I apply bio-identical hormone compounded by a pharmacy to skin, not injectable.  I also have all sex related hormones routinely blood tested to make sure the levels are within normal ranges.   The bioidentical works well, if I skip a day or two, I don't feel well and have no energy.  

There are legitimate uses for hormones when medically necessary including HGH, like for those with pituitary tumors, etc.

Allopaths will try any poison but even they say (at the above link):
Growth hormone replacement therapy does not work for all children."
In additio nthe llnk it to extreme pathology cases 
 not a normal short child as we are discussing.
Here's a quote from a much longer article: (Copyright so can only post a quote)
......................................................................................................................................................................
r. Diane Elson, a UW Health endocrinologist, ticks off the possible drawbacks 
f using hGH long-term:
• Elevated blood pressure
• Enlargement of the heart, liver and bones
• Sleep apnea
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Soft tissue swelling
• Risk of colon polyps
 hGH also plays havoc with the body's ability to control glucose levels;
 Some effects take time to develop, and some, like hypertension and diabetes, 
on't go away when the patient stops taking the hormone.

The concern about the average person using growth hormone and using it because 
e thinks it's going to make him stronger, faster and have better endurance is 
hat it may have the opposite effect," says Elson.

 Long Term Effects Unknown- the hormone has only been available for 20 years. 
hey do know what happens to patients with acromegaly, a rare disease in which a 
umor causes excessive growth hormone production.
"The excess hormone actually shortens their lifespan, sometimes by as much as 
0 years," says Elson,
-  The major cause of death from excessive growth hormone is actually 
ardiovascular disease. "Patients don't feel well. They have joint pain. They're 
ess mobile.
Don't believe the hype, says Elson. 
Don't waste your money, your health or your time.
...................................................................................................................................................................
So HGH is NOT for healthy little gitls who happen to be short.
