Guest guest Posted November 22, 2000 Report Share Posted November 22, 2000 Stania, Personally, I would not attempt the protocol if I once suffered from any form of cancer with the possible exception of one of the more benign types of skin cancer. HGH can cause existing cancer cells to proliferate. That is why Cheney recommends a thorough cancer screening prior to beginning HGH injections. I had a PSA prostate cancer blood test prior to beginning. Just my opinion. Have you had the ISAC test done yet? If so, the FBGF protocol is probably not beneficial and there is a superior protocol (Berg's). Steve B.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2000 Report Share Posted November 22, 2000 Thanks for info. I asked becaouse of my friend who had breast cancer. I didn't have the ISAC panel yet - but my dr. told me to tell my haematologist that she would be interested in my results - sounds like a lesson on diplomacy. Maybe next year. I share your opinion of Berg's protocol Stania ----- Puvodní zpráva ----- Od: " R.
