Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Very very interesting! Thank goodness for this listserve. Puts a total new perspective on things. I joined Magic and got the package from them, but have not got any user name or password for the " members only " area. I will ask Jenn Salem as well. Do you know if there are any research papers on the calorie catch up thing. I will just confront Dr. S with it! I spoke to Dr. H's office yesterday. They want me to send Kedhar's papers over and I will probably get an appointment for Oct. -Malathi > B and Malathi, > > It is very interesting how things have changed in 16 years.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Malathi - No, there are not any published papers on weight gain and its effect on GH. However, in the next month, we will post an email letting everyone know that the DVDs/VHSs of this summer's convention are ready for purchase. You can get a copy of Dr. H's Protocol presentation, and she goes over ther data there. > > B and Malathi, > > > > It is very interesting how things have changed in 16 years.
