Guest guest Posted December 15, 2000 Report Share Posted December 15, 2000 Rich, I think #3 is very consistent with Cheney's theory but both go too far into advanced biology for me to truly understand. If you want to read something that will really blow your mind you should read Goldstein's book_Betrayl by the Brain_Haworth Press. My neurologist was completely baffled by it and Goldstein's theory as his knowledge of the brain and it's complex chemistry, how drugs affect the brain, neuroplasticity, etc., etc. is mind-boggling. I will keep you and others posted regarding my progress on the HGH / bGF protocol. Nothing miraculous to report so far. Regards, Steve B. For Steve B.--Cheney and #3 hypothesis > > > > > > 3.

(I often find that I have been wandering around some distance behind Dr. Cheney, but often on more or less the same path! He's just way ahead! So many times when I hear the latest from him, it really clicks with me.) The response that you got from some of Dr. Goldstein's drugs also makes me optimistic that the treatment with growth hormone and growth factors will help you, because it suggests that correcting a central problem (say, with the hypothalamus) can take care of many (or all) of your symptoms, at least for a while. If that's true, then doing a more permanent fix on the hypothalamic problem should give a more permanent fix to the symptoms. I'll be very interested to hear how it goes with you. > > Rich > > > > This list is intended for patients to share personal experiences with each other, not to give medical advice.
