Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 just had the blood work done. I'm heading to Disney World next week, with my family, and expect to know if I qualify when I get back...on the 20th. I think you guys have got yourself the guinea pig, you've been looking for. if I qualify, I think I'm going to give this a try, for at least a month. just would always wonder if I went into the surgery without trying this first. I'm still skeptical, but unfortunately none of the surgeries I'm looking at are %100 effective, either....so why not. have a good weekend Chuck Dunn > another update. just got off the phone with a patient who had the > treatment. other than his age, he's 54, I'm 29....he sounds a lot > like me. had a meniscal surgery, during which they found articular > cartilage damage.(femoral condyle) he researched everything and > decided to give HGH a try. he was on crutches for 8 weeks. he can > now walk a round of golf where he couldn't before. he said it feels > good enough to run on, but he is being careful, and is afraid of a > knee replacement.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 Hi Chuck: Just wanted to thank you for all your research & information and to tell you that I know how you feel. I was very skeptical going in to my first Prolotherapy treatments, but the research was just too hard to ignore and I couldn't be happier with the results. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be as much scientific research on HGH injections. Anyway, good luck to you. I hope you qualify for the treatments so we can get another success story in this Group. Think of yourself as a pioneer - not a guinea pig. As I've written before, I think Dr. Dunn's treatments work; we've just become so accustomed to scam artists that we automatically assume that anything new and different can't possibly be any good. By the way, I'm going to see my doc (who does prolotherapy, trigger- point and various other injections) on Tuesday for a follow-up. I'm going to ask him if he does HGH injections himself. I know he is aware of Dr. Dunn and thinks highly of him. Good luck Chuck and thanks again. Say " Hi " to Mickey & for me, Doug > > another update. just got off the phone with a patient who had the > > treatment. other than his age, he's 54, I'm 29....he sounds a lot > > like me. had a meniscal surgery, during which they found articular > > cartilage damage.(femoral condyle) he researched everything and > > decided to give HGH a try. he was on crutches for 8 weeks. he can > > now walk a round of golf where he couldn't before. he said it > feels > > good enough to run on, but he is being careful, and is afraid of a > > knee replacement.
