Human Growth Hormone: The new Fountain of Youth?
by J. Bowler
treatment and the cost runs about $6000 a year, generally not
covered by health insurance. The drug is usually injected and a
lot of follow up testing is required.
You can purchase HGH in tablet and spray form, both are much less
expensive, but some experts feel that users would quickly develop
a tolerance to them and that their effectiveness would quickly fall
off. Anecdotally, consumers of these products report the same
positive effects that those who receive the injected form of the
hormone experience.
Some doctors claim that HGH can cause tumor growth, although this
has never been demonstrated in humans, increase fluid retention,
which could be a problem for certain heart patients and can cause
joint pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. There could also be a problem
with diabetics, since sugar metabolism is affected.
Other doctors admit that without careful monitoring, there can be
problems with excessive bone growth, vocal cord thickening, fluid
retention, arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome, but insist there is
absolutely no evidence of an increase in cancer or diabetes in humans.
One thing everyone agrees on is that while human growth hormone may
increase the quality of your life it will not make you live any
longer. There seems to be little dispute about the short term benefits
of the treatment. But the bottom line is that nobody yet knows the long
term effects of HGH as an antiaging solution
So like many things in life, HGH therapy is a gamble.
