Re: HGH and rHGH

[Guest guest]

Hi Mike and All,

In general my sources (nutrition books, vitamin books, juicing books,

encyclopedia of natural healing) recommend nutrition over the use of HGH.

Why? HGH is produced by the body (pituatary gland) naturally until sometime

around age 50 or later. The body releases HGH in response to exercise,

sleep(peak release time about 90 minutes after we fall asleep) and

inadequate food intake. But what about the over 50 crowd? According to my

texts by providing the body with the GH (growth hormone) releaser nutrients the

GH level can be brought back up to young adult levels.

GH Releaser Nutrients...amino acids such as ornithine, arginine, glycine,

tryptophan, tyrosine, glutamine. These amino acids work synchronistically

with vitamins B-6 & C, niacin, potassium, calcium, zinc, magnesium. Some of

these nutrients can be harmful for some people when taken as a supplement

rather than receiveing them from foods eaten. Get professional advice and

guidance if wanting to take supplements.

Again i wish to state that i am providing in general info and not telling

anyone to take anything. I am encouraging anyone and everyone to get

professional advice before taking nutritional supplements.

It is my opinion that rosacea is a set of symptoms developed by an organism with

a prolonged loss of vitality. I believe rosacea is a symptom of an autoimmune

response.

Hi,

It seems to me that the benefits people want to derive from taking

HGH is to thicken their skin to decrease redness and the appearance

of broken blood vessels. I have thick facial skin that is olive-

toned, and I have rosacea. I haven't had problems with broken blood

vessels, but I have had problems with my skin being very irritated,

red-looking with lots of bumps. In fact, I used to be asked if I had

been in the sun too long or had gotten sunburned. Having thick skin

did not prevent me from having rosacea or from making it look less

red or irritated or bumpy.

You might want to be very careful before you decide to take HGH. The

National Institutes of Health (NIH) has warned people not to take it.

Also, the Washington Post did an article on these anti-aging hormones

and found that in some studies they can fuel the growth of cancer.

Hope that helps!
