Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 I had mentioned the HGH and whey components of the Cheney program to an acquaintance who has FM and CFS but she found the HGH shots to be too expensive if you include the required monitoring, e.g. lab work and follow-up appointments. I told her that one of the clinical nutritionists I know who works in a large clinic with several doctors and a couple of chiropractors and reflexologists, uses a secretagogue. A secretagogue is an HGH increaser, not HGH itself. My friend says that when given to people with real bad rheumatoid arthritis and chronic fatigue or myalgia it produces very compelling results, and that in all his years of practice he has not seen a single therapy produce this caliber of result so quickly. He says he has personally seen dozens of people start getting results in only two to five days. The company says to establish a trend however, with a fair three-month trial. This vastly cheaper and safer approach is creating a pretty good buzz with longevity specialists and other MD's across North America. If anyone wants to look into it further I can provide some contact numbers. Long story short - she tried the secretagogue, the only amino acid stack the FDA allows claims about increasing HGH levels, rather than disclaimers. She noted a difference in only two days and a short time later claimed pain-free status. I know it's kind of a fluke to get such a good responder but there it is. I'm glad we have a percentage of good responders. In fact, she's gone back to cleaning houses. This without even trying the undenatured whey isolate to increase glutathione levels, which will reduce or eliminate the oxidative stress that's common in most diseases. (some MD's say " All " diseases) HGH and HGH deficiency, and elevating HGH in FM and CFS patients has been briefly touched on (keyword: Laurie Barclay, M.D.) in one study on the list but secretagogues have not been discussed. The reason may be that secretagogues that work like they're supposed to are relatively unknown - this secretagogue has been patented in the US only since Feb 12, 2002, although it's been about four years in Canada. best regards, Duncan Crow P.S. I am a I am a health writer and wholistic therapist in Canada. I use a variety of tools in my practice, including electricity, colloidal silver and ozone, but most of the work is done with nutritional and detoxification programs.
