Human
Growth Hormone Patient Profile
Human Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy continues
to amaze. New uses for this potent therapy are being continually
researched and uncovered. Although today, HGH Hormone Replacement is
only available for a few particular indications, in the future, there
is no doubt that its uses will continue to grow in number.
Human Growth Hormone Post-Polio Treatment
In today's article, we will discuss the benefits
of Human Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy experienced by a man
named Chris. Chris was diagnosed with polio when he was a young
child. Although Polio is all but eradicated in the United States
today, there are still many that suffer from the after-effects of
this devastating virus.
Although Chris eventually beat the disease, he was
stricken with a few chronic issues as a result of his battle. For
six months, Chris suffered from paralysis of one of his legs.
Although the paralysis eventually wore off, Chris still suffered from
a partial loss of mobility in his leg. He was forced to wear a brace
until he was thirteen years old, which extended from his hip to his
knee.
In addition to the mobility issue he suffered as a
result of polio, his leg also did not grow appropriately, leaving his
affected right leg smaller, shorter, and weaker than his healthy left
leg. Even his foot was smaller two sizes smaller, in fact. Chris
always worked through his disability, though, and regained a
significant amount of function over the years.
The Debilitating Effects of Post-Polio Syndrome
Later in his life, his doctor officially diagnosed
him with a disorder known as Post-Polio Syndrome. This disorder
usually occurs later in life in patients that experienced Polio at a
young age. The body starts to slow down and degrade over time, and
the muscles start to weaken, leading to an overpowering sense of
fatigue.
Patients that suffer from Post-Polio Syndrome
often have to take numerous drugs in order to alleviate the symptoms
of the disorder. Chris was prescribed quite a few, including sleeping
pills to soothe his restless nights, and pain medications to
alleviate chronic pain, and muscle relaxers in order to reduce the
frequency and severity of twitching muscles. On top of that, they
sharply suggested that he reduce his physical activity in order to
reduce agitation and preserve energy.
Although Chris was on a cocktail of medications,
he was told that even this was likely not enough. For many, the
long-term prognosis for Post-Polio Syndrome is rather depressing
a life bound in a wheelchair, experiencing continually degrading,
physical function which forces many to be dependent on friends,
family, or health care professionals.
Chris couldn't imagine a life like this for
himself. Even in the face of his circumstances, he always lived life
to the fullest, and the prospect of not being able to live life his
own way was a depressing concept. At first, the physiological and
psychological effects of Post-Polio Syndrome wreaked havoc upon his
once active and vibrant life. Because he was forced to live a
lifestyle without exercise, his weight began to increase quickly and
dangerously.
The disease itself left him increasingly tired and
exhausted, enhanced by his lack of physical activity. The support
groups were supposed to help him come to terms with his new life, but
they only frustrated him more and more. He was frustrated because
everyone seemed to be giving up and settling for an unfulfilling life
of progressive decline.
Then He Found Human Growth Hormone
His despair in regard to his circumstances drove
him to seek other opinions and treatment options. Chris had heard
that there were new alternative treatments, and he wanted to take the
chance to improve his condition. In 2002, he learned that Post-Polio
Disorder was associated with Human Growth Hormone Deficiency, and
that HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy had the potential to help people
like him reverse the symptoms and severity of Post-Polio Disorder.
Benefits of HGH
Human Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy has long
been known to provide a number of different benefits to patients
suffering from HGH Deficiency, including:
Improved Sleeping Habits Decreased Fatigue Enhanced Muscle Mass Increased Fat Burning Potential Improved Cardiovascular Health Alleviation of Depression and Anxiety
Doesn't Chris sound like the poster-child for
Human Growth Hormone Deficiency?
The doctor that prescribed Chris HGH Hormone
Replacement Therapy was a lot like him. He also suffered from
Post-Polio Syndrome, and actually used HGH Injections himself, in
order to treat the symptoms of the disease. In addition to HGH
Deficiency, Chris also learned that he could also potentially benefit
from Testosterone Replacement Therapy, and his doctor prescribed him
a Testosterone Cream. Post-Polio Disorder is largely a disease of
Hormone Imbalance, and by correcting this hormone Deficiencies, he
had hope that he could resolve all the other issues adversely
affecting his health.
How Did HGH Benefit Chris?
Within a month of starting Hormone Replacement
Therapy, Chris started to notice some significant changes in his
physical ability. Although Chris could still walk, he no longer had
the capacity to carry himself up the stairs without pulling himself
up using his hands. After starting Hormone Replacement Therapy, he
found that he was able to walk up the stairs using his lower body
alone, something he had not been able to do for well over a year.
As time passed further, his life only got better.
After nine months, he dropped eighteen pounds and even became fit
enough to start swimming again! Although he didn't have the endurance
he did when he was younger, he could still swim as long as half of a
mile as long as he took brief breaks. Chris was no longer shackled by
fatigue and his self worth began to soar.
Long Term Effects of HGH Hormone Replacement
Therapy
Chris continued to take the therapy. After nearly
two years, he still maintained a healthy weight, and he is still
active and energetic. The only issue that he has had is a slight
weakness in one of his hands, which is a small price to pay for
getting his life back.
Chris experienced very minor side effects as a
result of treatment. In the initial week, he experienced a bit of
water retention in the legs, but as his body acclimated to treatment,
the edema naturally faded. It should be noted that some other
patients do experience certain side-effects, including joint pain,
carpal tunnel syndrome, and increased blood pressure.
Why Hadn't HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy Been
Recommended Before?
Although Chris experienced incredible benefits
through the utilization of Human Growth Hormone, the use of HGH
Hormone Replacement Therapy for this purpose has not been studied
deeply. This is likely because polio is all but defeated today in the
United States. In spite of this, there are still many older
individuals that suffer from post-Polio Syndrome that would likely
benefit from enhanced Human Growth Hormone Levels.
Although Polio is very nearly eradicated, there
are still many worldwide that could still benefit from this
treatment. This is also another data point which shows that HGH
Hormone Replacement Therapy has a number of significant, well
documented benefits.
In the last decade, it has been discovered that
one of the most life-altering symptoms of Post-Polio Syndrome is a
severe Deficiency in Human Growth Hormone later in life. By restoring
HGH Levels, it is possible to help these patients live a longer,
healthier, and happier life.
What Does This Have To Do With Me?
Although Polio is no
longer an issue in the United States, or most other countries in the
world, the effects of HGH Injections upon patients with Post-Polio
Disorder is incredibly enlightening. Polio is just one of a number of
factors which can cause a man or woman to experience severe HGH
Deficiency. Other potential causes include:
Surgery Radiation Pituitary Tumors Hereditary Disorders Advancing Age
Symptoms of HGH Deficiency
All of these issues
have the potential to reduce or eliminate a patient's ability to
produce healthy levels of Human Growth Hormone. Most of the symptoms
that Chris experienced were the hallmark symptoms of Growth Hormone
Deficiency, including:
Fatigue
HGH is a potent, metabolic hormone. If the body isn't producing
enough Human Growth Hormone, energy levels plummet. This decline in
energy has a devastating impact upon health and vitality.
Increased Weight Gain
These same metabolic processes also help keep weight in check.
Without appropriate physical activity, or the energy to engage in
that activity, the body starts to accumulate fat. This body fat tends
to build around the midsection.
Decreased Muscle Mass Human
Growth Hormone and IGF-1, as well as Testosterone, are central to
maintaining strong and healthy muscles. As HGH Levels decline,
patients are more prone to issues related to frailty, which prevent
them from doing simple things like walking up a flight of stairs with
ease.
Depression and Irritability
HGH Deficiency also has a powerful impact on psychological health,
through a mixture of physiological changes and changes in self-worth.
The use of HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy
helped Chris. Could it help you?
