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.
Low testosterone affects a third of young men with type 2 diabetes
New research has revealed that approximately one third of men aged 18-35 with type 2 diabetes have low testosterone levels.
Dr.
Paresh Dandona and colleagues from the State University of New York at
Buffalo measured circulating testosterone levels in 38 men with type 1 diabetes and 24 men with type 2 diabetes. Results showed that testosterone levels were significantly lower in participants with type 2 diabetes than they were in men with type 1 diabetes. 33% of participants with type 2 diabetes were
found to have low testosterone levels, whilst 58% had testosterone
levels that were below normal for their age. In comparison, just 8%
type 1 diabetic patients had testosterone levels below the lower limit
of normal.
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.
Let's take a look at a major contributor to the aging process and what it can tell us about slowing the ravages of time on our health. The factor we will explore is cortisol, a hormone that controls dozens of vital functions in the body. When cortisol levels are too high or too low, rapid-aging processes accelerate.
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.
