Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I would be very skeptical about getting hormones from any place other than a pharmacy. A lot of kids that abuse steroids in sports find their outlets on the internet where they get products from Mexico and China. These drugs are usually made under unsanitary conditions that we would generally abhor. They will mix powdered testosterone in cooking oil before injecting it in their body. From: wmmarbury <wmmarbury@...> Subject: What’s a good source to buy Human Growth Hormone on the Internet? Date: Tuesday, July 15, 2008, 10:39 AM I saw a website posted by a contributor a few months ago that sold HGH injections for about $100 – as I recall there were about four applicators for that price. Does anyone know what that website is? The home page had a black background. Also: Can HGH be taken other than by injection? Does anyone have experience in this area? I saw a site on the Internet that sells sprays for about $60; however, my endocrinologist said that the only way he knows about receiving exogenous HGH is through subcutaneous injections.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I've been working with a national foundation that promotes steroid abuse awarement. I've been invited to appear in one of their videos. Â I know what the illegals do. Â If you're content with injesting foreign pharmaceuticals as opposed to American products because of some FDA/Pharmaceutical conspiracy then you may continue to do so. Â I will have no part of it. >I would be very skeptical about getting hormones from any place other >than a pharmacy.

I disagree that the quality of internationally purchased drugs are somehow of lower quality than their US retailed distribution. Many drugs are made at FDA certified facilities located internationally and sold under different distribution channels at different price points. I used to purchase medications from a pharmacy in Thailand and it was excellent quality. I purchased from there and several other sources for the past 8 years sometimes a dozen times in a year without a single problem. Customs opened only one package ever and resealed it and shipped it onwards without a noticeable effect on deliver time. India's drug manufacturing facilities are excellent. At this point, I have no reason to question even drugs made in Chinese factories knowing that the majority of supplements used worldwide are of Chinese manufacture. While on a cruse that included stops in Mexico, I walked into a local pharmacy and purchased medications without out problems. The place was full of non-Mexicans making similar purchases. The last scandels involving medications that I've seen reported in the news were all within the USA. They involve fraud, product substitution, and other nasties like watering down chemotherapy drugs. The FDA has been looking for any reason to stop the flow of imported medications and has yet to find a credible problem, even one they could lie about. Not only do I not have any problems with internationally purchased medications, but health care internationally is often far better than your local US hospital also at a fraction of the cost. -- Steve - dudescholar4@...

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Thanks for the information. I am sure their quality control is not as good as the USA. My problem along with a lot of other people right now is the availability of HCG. I called a couple of pharmacies yesterday and they said their systems wouldn't even let them order because the backorder time is so long--6-12 months. I would love to use US medications but what choice do I have if they can't keep up with demand? It does scare me a little getting some from China or India. Re: What’s a good source to buy Human Growth Hormone on the Internet? Now to that point I just made, I agree that certainly there is fraud from time to time in the US pharmaceutical industry but if caught it comes at an extremely high price especially if someone is injured. Their is accountability/liability in the US pharmaceutical industry to the consumer and if they wish to stay in business and not get sued into bankruptcy they need to comply with federal regulations. Now what do you do if a Chinese/Indian pharmaceutical company injures you? Good luck trying to get the same from them, I'm sure they would just change the name on the door and go back to business as usual.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Thanks . My Dr. told me yesterday he had no problem writing a prescription for HCG but didn't think I could get it so he didn't write it. I actually go back tomorrow to his office for some more testing. I will ask him to go ahead and write the prescription and put my diagnosis on it.
