He also feels that it is safe if used properly, etc. He says he himself has used it for years. To me this is one of those area that one must be cautious in, however if you're interested in the subject of hormone treatment in general this book is informative. (He has others as well that don't focus on female hormones.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Just to let you know, someone in my family had a slow-growing tumor in them for over 25 years. The reason the doctors knew this was because they had taken out a malignant tumor at the same site 25 years before. The doc who did the first surgery didn't catch all the cancer cells and left some in. If this person had taken HGH perhaps the tumor would have grown faster and become more aggressive and metastasized. If that was the case, the person would have died. Cancer is not something you want to fool around with. That particular cancer (breast cancer) is not one you can catch with a blood test. Even if you can catch something with a blood test (prostate cancer, leukemia, non-Hodgkins lymphoma), how often will you take the tests and will your insurance pay for them if you're the one who wanted to take the HGH in the first place? Probably not. These types of blood tests are very expensive. As well, cancer can be extremely aggressive and spread fast. Once a month testing may not be enough to catch whatever disease you're looking for. It might be too late. This is not a good idea. I have a lot of cancer in my family. I've seen people die painful deaths and have seen young lives cut short. Don't take anything that may have the slightest chance in causing malignant cells to grow and multiply. If you're cavalier with your health, it may cost you more than you bargained for in the long run. Take care, Matija > > > again I feel Gh is safe if monotored properly at any age!!!
