A recent report reveals that human growth hormone may be beneficial in helping obese patients with weight loss.
Patients involved in the study lost an average of about 5 pounds.
Calculated dose aids weight loss in obese patients, study finds
ST. LOUIS, USA A controlled dose of growth hormone may help people who are obese lose weight and maintain the energy to exercise, new research at Saint Louis University shows.
Stewart Albert, M.D., professor of internal medicine in the division of endocrinology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine and Arshag Mooradian, M.D., chair of the division of endocrinology at Saint Louis University, presented their findings at ENDO 2003, the 85th Annual Meeting of The Endocrine Society, which took place in Philadelphia from June 19-22.

Question: I heard human growth hormone can help people after surgery. Is that true?
Answer: The human growth hormone (HGH) that athletes take because they believe it helps them recover from injuries has been used successfully in burn patients for a number of years.
The healing process from a severe burn can sometimes put the body into a hypermetabolic state that ends up tearing down muscle and other tissue. In those circumstances, injections of HGH can reverse the destructive (catabolic) processes and promote constructive (anabolic) ones.
Benefits of HGH: Thierry Hertoghe, M.D. Published HGH Benefits Research
Thierry Hertoghe, M.D. published a study in which
he investigated the signs of symptoms of individuals aged 27 to 82
before and after 2 months of growth hormone treatment (self reported
questioners by the patients)
After 2 months treatment (Percent of patients reporting improvement)
Physical Signs • Less wrinkles on face (75.5%)
• Less sagging skin on face and neck (67%)
• Firmer muscles (60.7%)
• Less body fat (48%)
• Better skin (thicker) (34.5%)
• Thicker head hair (28.1%)
Emotional/mental
• Improved emotional state (71.4%)
• Increased energy (86.8%)
• Improved physical stamina (86.04%)
• Increased ability to stay up late (82.5%)
• Improved resistance to stress ((83.7%)
• Significantly decreased Anxiety (calmer) (73.5%)
• Improved assertiveness (73.1%)
• Improved sense of power (77.8%)
• Improved self-esteem (50%)
• Depression improved or eliminated (82.7%)

“The effects of six months of human
growth hormone on lean body mass and adipose tissue reversed the
equivalent of changes incurred during 10-20 years of aging.” "The
overall deterioration of the body that comes with growing old is not
inevitable...We now realize that some aspects of it can be prevented
or reversed."

When it comes to HGH facts, whats the truth behind this latest medical craze? Read on to discover whats truth, whats fiction and the true miracle of human growth hormone.
But before we dive into HGH facts, lets discuss what it is and how it works.
HGH is the human growth hormone released by your bodys pituitary gland. We all have it, and all of our bodies produce it while were alive. Without it, we wouldnt function its that crucial.
Human Growth Hormone and Testosterone by Candice Lane, M.D.
The latest Indiana Jones movie disappoints me with the shuffling, slurring, grumpy old man that used to be Indy. In contrast, Sly Stallonelast Rambo is as physical and dynamic as ever. My 17 year old dubbed Ford an old man, but pegged Stallone as in his 40 Playing action figures, both men are in their 60. Whats the difference? Growth hormone and testosterone.
Research suggests a direct link between deep sleep and the ageing process. Not getting enough deep sleep may speed up the ageing process, a study has suggested.
PASADENA, CA--(Marketwire - June 26, 2008) - Production of human growth hormone, a decline in which may accelerate aging, is significantly reduced when deep sleep is inadequate, according to a recent study. Although men do have sleep problems, they are far more prevalent in women. In fact, the average woman sleeps less than 6.5 hours per night during the entire work week. Feelgoodforlife.com offers tips on how to improve women's health by resolving sleep issues with nutritional supplements.
I am an adult male and became fascinated with HGH in 2003 by a twist of fate.It occurred after I met one of my neighbors and became friends with him, not to mention he later got me a job teaching part time at one of the universities where he was working!
My friend, Dr. W, is a University Professor who has a resume spanning over 40 years teaching at prestigious universities, all over the world. What caught me off guard was the fact Dr. W claimed he was in his mid 60’s, but didn’t look even close.He wouldn’t tell me his exact age, yet he had the energy, a lust for life, and the vitality of an athletic man in his early 30’s.I found it strange, even bizarre, as he honestly didn’t look a day older than 37.
The Benefits of Replacing
HGH with injections or Human Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy
HGH Human Growth Hormone
- although very controversial - is considered by some scientists,
doctors and researchers to be one of the single most important protein
/ hormones in human development, health, regeneration, wellness
and longevity. A growing number of anti-ageing, longevity and cell
regeneration doctors swear by HGH.
Benefits of HGH
Human Growth Hormone
Most Importantly, clinical evidence and recent medical research
clearly demonstrate that by replacing HGH Human growth hormone in
IGF-1 deficient adults, we can significantly eliminate premature
aging symptoms, reverse the biological effects of aging, reduce
body fat, increase lean muscle mass, strengthen the immune system,
improve sexual performance, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol,
restore hair color and growth, increase bone tissue, strengthen
the heart, regenerate organs and increase energy. There is no other
substance known to medical science that has such extensive and well
documented ability to deter and reverse the aging process in adults
over 35 using HGH replacement therapy, exercising, eating a good
diet and practicing a healthy life style.
The famous actor who
played Rocky and Rambo Mr. Sylvester Stallone, a man who is in his
60's but looks like a 37 year old athlete stated he believed
HGH would be sold over the counter in 10 years.
In reviewing the benefits of growth hormone therapy listed above,
it is difficult to believe HGH Human growth hormone could have so
many beneficial effects. However, as we examine more closely the
evidence accumulated by medical research and the interaction between
growth hormone and the various bodily systems and cell regeneration
that affect the areas benefited, we develop an understanding as
to how an increased level of growth hormone results in so many beneficial
effects.
Some studies have suggested HGH replacement therapy might possibly
extend the human lifespan 10 to 20 years as long as a health conscious
life style is included as a part of the Hormone Replacement HGH
therapy program.
Bone Density
& HGH
During growth hormone
therapy, there is a definite improvement in bone density. One study
showed an increased bone mass of 2% per year.
Skin and HGH
Growth hormone restores
abnormal low levels of extra cellular fluid. This cellular dehydration
is implicated in many of the signs of aging. By replenishing this
extra cellular water, skin becomes thicker and wrinkles become less
noticeable. Also, there is normalization of kidney function and
improvement in sweating capacity.
Weight Management
and HGH
Growth hormone induces
decomposition of adipose tissue. The adipose cell volume will decrease
significantly. Metabolism is increased which results in the degradation
of fat. In addition, cholesterol is lowered.
There is consistent improvement
in this parameter with a usual 10% increase in lean body mass and
a five to 10% decrease in body fat. Fat loss was greatest in the
abdominal region. The alterations in body composition are reversed.
The lean body mass increases as the adipose tissue decreases. This
accounts for the fact that there may not always be an overall weight
loss because of the increased muscle mass. In addition, human growth
hormone affects the liver, kidneys, spleen, skin and bone, and is
protective against atrophy by causing re-growth of tissue
