The Lazarus Effect of Growth Hormone Replacement
Are you ready for the wildest research revelations in the whole anti-aging field, the accomplishments of the human growth hormone? If ever science has been close to stumbling on immortality, discovering the effects of replacing the human growth hormone (HGH) levels comes closest.
The study that opened the floodgates to thousands of research papers was published in 1990 in the New England Journal of Medicine. During this study, twelve aging men between 61 and 81 years, shed then flabby, fat-laden bodies and became younger, stronger versions of themselves. The study claimed that "The effect of six months of HGH on lean body mass and adipose-tissue mass were equivalent in magnitude to the changes that occurred during ten to twenty years of aging." In other words, aging was reversed!
But that's only the beginning of what this pituitary hormone will do for you. The list of benefits keeps growing with the research.
The fact that we all lose our levels of growth hormone starting in our twenties and that by age 60 our HGH production is cut in half, and by age 65 half of the population is partially or wholly deficient in the growth hormone, did not register as a marker for aging until just a few years ago. Little did science suspect that this amazing substance, if taken by adults, would offer us a fountain of youth:
* The most effective anti-obesity solution ever discovered.
* Cosmetic surgery in a bottle, removing facial wrinkles, plumping up skin contours, replacing extracellular water (the loss of which makes the elderly look like dried prunes) and restoring elasticity to our skin.
* A new lease on life mentally and emotionally reviving our energy, relieving our stress and anxiety, restoring a deep, restful sleep and sharpening our memory and IQ.
* A restoration to normal, of our shrinking organs (brain, heart, liver, kidneys)
* The concurrent reversal of wear and tear that has occurred with those aging organs.
If all of this sounds like fiction to you, let me get right down to specifics. I think you are beginning to see that feeling emotionally and physically stable for life MUST include hormonal replacement. But I want you to know just what researchers have found, how safe (or unsafe) it is, who need it most, and how you can increase your own HGH availability wisely and successfully for the rest of your life.
The Fat to Muscle Miracle
It's certainly no secret that America is fattening up at an alarming rate. Unfortunately the more fat we carry, the less growth hormone we release. Those who are apple-shaped (fat accumulation around the middle) have a far greater risk of diabetes and heart disease as well as losing growth hormone, than pear-shaped persons. So the shape of your own body clues you in to your individual HGH needs.
Over 200 persons who recently received a low dose (.3 to .7 IU of growth hormone twice daily) reported no adverse effects. Over three-quarters noted body-fat loss, muscle gain, greater strength, and energy levels. Skin texture improved as did skin thickness and elasticity.
Photographs in Life Extension, June 97 an international monthly periodical on anti-aging research, show remarkable changes in an aging couple after 6 months of growth hormone treatment. Their formerly sagging, lumpy bodies had totally changed into muscular and curvaceous shapes. Hair was thicker, facial muscles tauter. They looked twenty years younger in every way. No plastic surgeon could accomplish all of these changes, yet what we are looking at is only the outside of the package.
HGH Effects on the Brain
If you have lost the zest for life, feel depressed or anxiety-riddled, live with low vitality and a fading interest in staying alive, you're going to look in the mirror and say "I'm old, I'm weary, I can't get interested in future risks and opportunities." Once that message gets rooted in your subconscious, you'll become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
What can growth hormone do about all this? Pioneering researchers in Sweden, Denmark and England noted such marked changes in self esteem and well being in their patients on growth hormone, that they started calling it the "Lazarus Effect." Dr. Benzt-Ak Bengtsson, MD at Salgrenska Hospital says:
"We woke them up. With some patients it was like giving them a kick in the back. Their lives changed within a few weeks." Researchers at St. Thomas Hospital described their patients before using the growth hormone shared in common "poor energy, emotional liability, low mood and social isolation." Some were so psychiatrically disturbed with anxiety, depression and a loss of self control, that they would warrant intervention. Yet on growth hormone, these abnormalities of mood and energy cleared up. HGH has been found to cross the blood-brain barrier where it raises endorphin levels creating its own natural high, and lowers dopamine, too much of which produces agitation.
Bengtsson's work with growth hormone patients documents their reversal of fatigue and depression. The re-hydration of body tissues perks up their vitality much like watering drooping flowers. Thus growth hormone has also proved its worth in reversing chronic fatigue syndrome by lifting energy levels to new highs.
Stress Relief From HGH
You probably have already seen that the ability to rebound from the stresses of life gradually fades with age. Dr. Thierry Hertoghe, MD, an expert on hormonal deficiency, tells us:
"Over anxiety or hyper emotionality is a sign of growth hormone deficiency. Androgens help both men and women calm down, but you don't get the calmness that you do with growth hormone. Of all the hormones I work with, growth hormone relaxes the individual most."
He describes his recent reactions upon taking growth hormone: "In the past year I've been in difficult situations but I haven't experienced the stress that usually goes along with this, like not sleeping well, waking up in the middle of the night worrying, getting up in the morning feeling like I haven't slept. That has all gone away. I know its not a placebo effect because when I stop taking the hormone, all these stressful feelings return."
Actually, sleep deprivation will cause a lower release of growth hormone, so he is describing a two-edged sword.
Memory and Growth Hormone
Growth hormone has been proven to reverse the decline in memory and in cognitive abilities. Dutch researcher Jan Berend Deijem, MD. and colleagues found that a lack of growth hormone is associated with impairment of both short term and long term memory and of iconic memory (the ability to process flashes of information) as well as perceptual motor skills such as hand to eye coordination. They were able to actually correlate the levels of growth hormone to the patient's IQ.
Growth hormone may well be able to reverse our aging brain's shrinking size. The growth factors stimulate neurons to regrow dendritic connections. Glial cells which nourish the neurons, also can regenerate. The University of California at Berkeley has successfully carried out these experiments on rats, turning their old brains into young ones and even increasing their cortex growth!
Can HGH Increase Life Span?
As long as we can continually fight and win our battles with disease, we will stay alive and healthy. But as our immune systems slowly fail us, we start losing the war. There is a vital connection between maintaining high immunity and our levels of growth hormone.
The primary weapon of the immune system is our thymus gland. It provides us with all the immunity factors we need to fight off disease. It also shrivels as we age, as do our defenses against invading illnesses. The growth hormone boosts our thymus gland, reviving it and reversing this shrinkage.
It has been a common belief that nothing can stop the shriveling of the aging thymus. But Dr. Keith Kelley (University of Illinois researcher) has disproved the notion that nothing will reactivate this life protecting gland. He tells us "You can get it back by using a treatment growth hormone!'
With increased immunity we avoid disease and live a much longer life span. How long, still remains to be seen, but there is no doubt we have stumbled on a way to rejuvenate our immune systems as well as our brains.
Dr. Greg Fahy Ph.D., a researcher in cellular physiology, sums it up: "I think that a lot of aging can be explained by deficits in growth hormone. I don't think that even people working in the field see the whole picture. If you put all the pieces of evidence together, it suggests that growth hormone is even more central to the aging process than most people suspected."
How to Say No to Aging
I expect that you are now sufficiently dazzled by the possibilities replacing growth hormone offers you. At any age after your second decade of life, you can take specific steps to replace this precious hormone. In doing so, you halt physical and mental decay and prolong your life substantially because of restoring a youthful immune system.
Depending on your age and your levels of growth hormone, you now have three choices to boost your HGH levels:
1. Actual Growth Hormone injections done daily under the supervision of a physician (expensive and not recommended for those still producing their own GH.)
2. Take GHB (gamma hydroxybutrate). Unavailable in the U.S since the FDA declared it an illegally marketed drug. (Despite a 40 year history of safe clinical use.)
3. Taking certain levels of natural GH precursors (pre-mixed in Bio-GH Releasers) to boost production of growth hormone and stimulate a natural increased secretion of growth hormone.
Step one is to assess your HGH by measuring the somatomedin C (IGF-I) which is the body's growth hormone marker. This blood test can be done in your doctor's office or can be ordered through Life Extension Foundation, by calling 1-800-841-5433 or faxing them at 1-954-761-9199 and requesting a requisition form and information on the blood draw station nearest you. The results will be sent to you, with the recommendation that you work closely with your physician in evaluating the test's outcome. Your MD's task will be to raise your IGF-I to a normal level for a thirty to forty year old, somewhere in the high 200's or low 300's.
Growth Hormone Enhancement Through Growth Hormone Releasers
(Bio-GH Releasers)As I told you earlier, many of you may solve your waning growth hormone levels by taking certain natural substances in fairly large amounts, that will cause increased secretion of growth hormone. Providing your pituitary gland still stocks ample growth hormone, you will be able to increase its output to levels that have a definite effect on your body and mind.
Natural Substances that Stimulate HGH Release
The amino, arginine is already used intravenously (15 to 30 grams) as a medical test to provoke the pituitary into producing human growth hormone. In the eighties Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw extolled (and became living proof of) the combination of combining arginine 5 to 10 grams with another amino ornithine 2 1/2 to 5 grams at bedtime to jump start an outpouring of growth hormone while you sleep.
A 1981 Italian study found the combination of lysine and arginine at 1200 milligrams each (1 gram plus 200 mg), was 10 times as efficient as arginine alone in raising growth hormone in teenagers. But in men over sixty five, doses of these two aminos did nothing. In other words there was little growth hormone left to trigger a response.
Glutamine in 2 gram doses has been shown to raise growth hormone levels more than four times higher than a placebo at any age, according to a 1995 study at Louisiana State College of Medicine by Dr. Thomas Wellbourne.
Niacin (or B3) at 500 mg also has proved effective in releasing
growth hormone.GHB (gamma hydroxybutrate) the newest entry, is a precursor of GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) GABA regulates the anterior pituitary gland that secretes growth hormone. GHB is one of the most powerful simulators of growth hormone known to date. However, it is not currently available in the United States.
Side Effects of Growth Hormone Releasers
If you are taking the amino acid formula to release your own growth hormone, be aware that aminos are not for damaged livers. If you suspect elevated liver readings, have a chemistry profile lab test done to check it out. Taking niacin if you are diabetic, may raise your glucose levels and call for an adjustment in insulin.
The Future of Growth Hormone Releasers
There are several drug growth hormone releasers presently undergoing clinical drug tests. When approved, these oral agents will mean you can just pop a pill daily to stimulate the production of your growth hormone! Time line for these wondrous drugs is within the next five to seven years!
Are You Running on Empty?
But what if you are in the one-third of our aging population that has practically no growth hormone of your own to stimulate? Then these growth hormone releasers are NOT for you. (Remember, a lab test will answer the important question of how much, if any, you have right now.) The good news is that the FDA has now approved the use of actual growth hormone so you can put back what you lost. These shots of growth hormone will thrill you with their ability to reverse the trappings of aging. The results have been spectacular, as well as tragic as scientists experimented with research trials.
