THE SUPER HORMONE - FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH?

HGH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland.   It stimulates growth in younger people (12 to 16), but in adults its main function is repair and maintenance of tissues.   HGH helps repair the damage our cells sustain as part of normal living.

The levels of HGH are the highest in teenagers and fall rapidly after age 18, about 15% every year.   Most people over 40 have decreased levels, which results in decreased ability to maintain the function of our tissues and organs.   Consequently, many needed repairs are not taking place, which leads to the process of "normal" aging.

Studies show that older people who improve their HGH levels undergo a transformation equivalent to "going back" 10 to 20 years.   They experience these benefits:

* improved muscle mass (about 10% on the average)
* reduced fat (average fat loss 14.5%)
* improved skin texture and appearance
* enhanced sexual performance
* reduction of total and LDL (bad) cholesterol, increase in HDL (good) cholesterol
* improved function of every organ in the body
* better immune function
* loss of cellulite
* improved energy, sense of well-being and quality of life

Up until recently, the only way to improve HGH levels was to receive daily injections of HGH.   Besides being inconvenient, it was and still is quite costly, $100 to $150 per week.   Now it is possible to improve your levels by restoring normal pituitary function and increasing the production of HGH

After publishing an article in our recent newsletter we received over 200 emails requesting more information about HGH.

We searched the web for accurate information and sources.   We found that the MLM people are promoting it vigorousily.   Their prices for a one month supply range from $50-$150.   All use a one oz. spray..

DOES THE EMPEROR HAVE ANY CLOTHES?

In April we published an article about the potential benefits of the new spray which was promoted as a magical remedy for aging.   It all seemed too good to be true.

In July I mentioned that I had tried it and noticed nothing except a $59.00 hole in my pocketbook.   Over 1,000 of you tried it.   Thus far we have received only a few emails praising it.   This strongly suggested that the benefits, which only a few claimed, were probably the result of the placebo effect . . . we would have received as many if the product was an inert placebo.

I suspect the promoters of the HGH spray chose it because it had far more sex appeal than an ordinary capsule . . . also much cheaper to produce.   They are reaping a fortune selling 1 ounce for 40-90 dollars.

I recently read a fascinating book, "Grow Young with HGH", by Dr. Ronald Klatz.   In addition, I received an email from Morton Schwatz, Ph.D., a biochemist.   His position was that all the hype surrounding the HGH spray was rubbish because the amino acid molocules are, as molocules go, very large.   He believed that very few would actually be absorbed from a sub-lingual (under the tongue) application.

Furthermore, Pfizer, the manufacturer of the REAL HGH, states, "It must be kept refrigerated.   The shelf life is two weeks."   The bottom line is simply:   The only way to get HGH directly is through injection by your physician.

A product has recently been developed which is an HGH enhancer.   I tried it when it became available several months ago.   I am not a good guinea pig for I have been the picture of health for many years.   For the first month I noticed nothing at all.   Then I began to awaken with an erection . . . which had not happened in many years.   My libido is thrilled with this product.   It is available from 561-656-4011 M-F 9-5 EST.   Mention Dr. Brooks and you get it for under $11.00 for a 30 day supply.

EXPERT OPINIONS ON GROWTH HORMONES

Dr. Jake Powrie, M.D. and Dr. Andrew Weissberger, St. Thomas Hospital, London England: "All adults with growth hormone deficiency should now be considered for growth hormone replacement therapy." (1995)
******************************************
Dr. Anthony Karpos, M.D.: "We really have something here which may be able to reverse some of the problems associated with aging."
******************************************
Dr. William Regelson MD "The Superhormone Promise" "I have, however, studied growth hormone extensively through the years and believe there is a place for growth hormone in the superhormone pantheon of age reversing agents. Growth Hormone has a very special role to play, and it is benefits will be most acutely felt by those who are in greatest need and who are suffering from more severe problems"
******************************************
Daniel Rudman, M.D., New England Journal of Medicine: "The effects of six months of human growth hormone on lean body mass and adipose-tissue were equivalent in magnitude to the changes incurred during 10-20 years of aging."
******************************************
V.A. Medical Center and Department of Medicine, Stanford University Medical Center: Concludes: "It is possible that chronic physiologic GH and/or IGF-I replacement therapy might reverse (or prevent) some of these "inevitable" sequelae of aging". (Study of GH therapy in the elderly - March 1992.)
******************************************
Dr. Jorgensen and Dr. Christian of Copenhagen, Denmark, in European Journal of Endocrinology, 1994: "Replacement therapy with Growth Hormone has shown beneficial/normalizing effect on parameters such as cardiac and renal function, thyroid hormone metabolism, bone metabolism, sweat secretion, total and regional fuel metabolism and psychological well being"
******************************************
Drs. Ramias, Shamos, and Schiller of St. Joseph Hospital Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ: The Doctors found HGH to be a potent anabolic agent "Daily Administration of human growth hormone in the first week after trauma would enhance the metabolic status.... resulting in reduced morbidity and earlier discharge from hospital." (May 1992, Journal of Surgery. Vol 111, 495-502.)
******************************************
Dr. Rosen, M.D. and Dr. G. Johannsson, M.D. of University Hospital, Goteborg, Sweden: "There is no evidence suggestion that Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy causes any unfavorable long term side effects." (Hormone Research, 1995)

Let's hope this will be our Fountain of Youth . . . now if only we could find a Fountain of Smart!
