March 27, 2008: Researchers at UC Berkeley, Shanghai Institute & Columbia University have identified hGH & it's metabolites IGF-1 & IGF-2 as axon guidance molecules .. hGH, IGF-1 & IGF-2 actually facilitate the connectivity within the brain of individual neuron cells. Each brain neuron connects to 10,000 other neurons via the axons. hGH, IGF-1 & IGF-2 greatly facilitate this neuron > axon process.
This University report states hGH, IGF-1 & IGF-2 are absolutely required (absolute required is their phrase!) for new neuron formation and the required interconnectivity via the axons.
Baby Boomer Actresses that remain youthful, Madonna, Demi Moore, Pamela Anderson, Jennifer Aniston and Debbie Harry, are reported to being treated with doctor supervised prescription Human Growth Hormone

AntiAging Medicine as a specialty was founded in the early '90s .. as we baby boomers with 'incredibly high expectations' started hitting the 'middle age wall'.
AntiAging Medicine is often referred to as Aging Management Medicine.
A realistic goal of an AntiAging program is to delay the onset of & to slow the progression of Aging's Symptoms
A Patient's Advocate Medical Provider is necessary for optimized aging.
Choice of medical care provider should not be a random pick & certainly not a decision delegated to a HMO.

Secretagogues: Amino Acids that stimulate the endocrine system to increase hormonal secretions. Directions on how to make your own custom nutritional stack. You can design / make a 1st thing in the morning stack, pre-workout stack, post-workout stack and pre-sleep stack.. each customized for time of day & situation. By mixing your own stacks you can optimize for your metabolism or goals.
2005 Syracuse University: Dr. Jim Stoppani, Flex Magazine: A Research Project on men between 18 & 35 has published a report showing that that 6 grams to 9 grams of Arginine acts as a HGH Secretagogue. A 9 gram L-Arginine serving increased serum HGH by over 60%, from 4mcg/liter to 6.5 mcg/liter. |

At 40 HGH is about 75% that of a 25-30 year old ... production is 25% less & maybe you feel a little different.
At 50 HGH is about 55% that of a 25-30 year old... the 45% decline combines with accumulated deficit & you feel it.
At 60 HGH is about 40% that of a 25-30 year old... a 60% decline + the effects snow ball.
21st century medical studies from several American University Medical Schools, summarized & linked to below, document that hormone replacement therapy is a valid medical protocol..
New England Journal of Medicine. THE 1990 report: "Diminished secretion of growth hormone is responsible in part for the decrease of lean body mass, the expansion of adipose-tissue mass, and the thinning of the skin that occurs in old age. "
(N Engl J Med 1990; 323:1-6.)Science Daily, December 22, 2006: A medical report from the University of Pittsburg Medical School, & supported by the National Institute of Aging, takes HRT's benefits to the cellular / DNA level.
Report 1: The accumulation of genetic damage in our cells is a major contributor to how we age.
Report 2: There is a direct relationship between DNA damage & aging. Aging is driven by a build up of damaged DNA in cells. These findings unify 2 of the theories on aging.
Laura Niedernhofer, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Molecular Genetics, U of Pittsburgh Medical School, reports, "..how we respond to cellular DNA damage is determined by the HGH & Insulin pathways."
The rate of physical & mental decline we experience with aging is determined by cellular / DNA damage. Cellular / DNA damage we all accumulate over our lifetimes, but our response to that damage / repair of that damage is unique & individual.
The higher the somatotroph (growth hormone) axis level the better.
This medical school study on DNA damage demonstrates positive repair is directly proportional to somatotroph (growth hormone secretion regulator hormone GHRH) level.
Mayo Clinic, "These results document that growth hormone can help healthy older adults who have low levels of growth hormone regain some of their youth and vitality."
Colorado State University: "..frailty, muscle atrophy, relative obesity, increased frequency of fractures and disordered sleep. These clinical signs of aging are, without doubt, the manifestation of a very complex set of changes which involve, at least in part, the GH-axis (= growth hormone level)."
2007, Journal of Endocrinology. Growth hormone is critical to maintaining bone mass.
".. GH is able to modulate bone remodeling by directly influencing osteoblast-osteoclast cross-talk."
Edward M. Lichten, M.D.,P.C. "One of HGH’s most dramatic effects is on the connective tissue, muscle, and healing potential of the skeletal system."
The positive effect HGH has on bone mass is documented by bone scan.
Many age related medical conditions are positively affected by Hormone Replacement Therapy, HRT.
Current consensus is to withhold growth hormone from patients with cancer.
Like Mr. Nietzsche reputedly stated . The doer alone learnth
Journal of Endocrinology Nov, 2007: HGH is a beneficial treatment for cardiac disease via increased bioavailability of Nitric Oxide
Dr. William Regelson, University of Virginia School of Medicine reports that the hormone DHEA is "one of the best biochemical bio-markers for chronological age.
University of Chicago researchers found that the first stage of age-related deterioration of sleep quality in men occurs between the ages of 25 and 45.
When was the last time YOU had a vivid dream? Dreaming, REM Sleep, is a good thing!
I'll let you be in my dream, if I can be in yours ~ Bob Dylan, circa 1963
A low calorie diet is on your route to graceful aging
High cholesterol is linked to tied to brain impairment, memory loss, heart attacks and stroke.
The risk of heart disease could be cut by up to 55% if people became physically active by 40.
Begin exercise by your late 40s or early 50 to reduce the risk of dementia by about 50%
The first step is the hardest step!
Again, many of the most problematic symptoms of aging are effectively treated with Hormone Replacement Therapy.
LONG TERM RESEARCH demonstrates that estrogen replacement affords protection against Alzheimer's, the most benefit occurs if treatment is begun at or near the onset of menopause.
HGH and Testosterone can provide an improved quality of life. FACT!
0ver 50% of Testosterone is produced from DHEA.
we have only 1 dietary rule: Eat nothing today that you will regret eating tomorrow.
There is strong relationship between sleep quality and physical and mental health. Proper rest is critical.
True rest occurs in REM / Delta (DEEP) Sleep. When was the last time you had a vivid dream? I love the REM dream state.
Many of the health issues, age related medical conditions, middle-aged persons begin to experience are directly related to diminished hormone production.
Long term medical research HAS BEEN COMPLETED regarding hormone replacement & antiaging.
July 29, 2003. Human Growth Hormone Gets New FDA Approved Use
The Food and Drug Administration has OK'd the use of growth hormone for children who are healthy but abnormally short and who hope to gain 1 to 3 inches of height.* ( *Our focus is for adult benefit only.) News article link.
We get many calls from adults wanting to gain height. After the growth plates on long bones is mature the height growth process has pretty much complete.
US Government FDA site: FDA Approves Humatrope ( E. Lily's brand name rhGH ) for Short Stature
Previously HGH has been approved to treat both adults & children for low HGH production by the Anterior Pituitary.
Now HGH is US FDA approved to treat 'shortness' determined to be unrelated to endocrine function.
Persons under the care of a Physician, on complex medical plans or taking multiple medications should always consult with their Physician before any dietary or nutritional supplementation changes are made. Current cancer patients, cancer patients in remission and previous cancer patients should consult with their Physician before considering any new exercise or nutrition program.
A medical check up is advised before beginning any nutritional, dietary or exercise program.
Realistic assessment of your current physical condition, to include genetics as well as wear & tear.
Directions on how to make your own custom nutritional stack.
High protein diets result in the release of a hormone, PYY, that curbs hunger in both obese and normal weight people. PYY levels are lowest amongst obese people.
In the 'old days' (60s, 70s & 80s) HGH was obtained from the pituitary gland of cadavers & there were possible negative effects & complication
Modern rhGH (recombinant HGH ) is a very safe prescription medication, especially when proper labs are utilized to monitor hormone levels to ensure proper dosage.. Based on proper lab work, primarily IGF-1, prescription HGH is an appropriate medical treatment.
