The risks of prescription
hgh injections have been shown in some studies to include the following
hgh side effects:
carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis and edema.
These hgh side effects were experienced when high prescription hgh injection
dosages were given. Numerous studies have shown that these hgh side effects
can be reduced or eliminated by using a low-dose higher frequency prescription
injection method. Under this method the person takes a prescription Hgh
injection twice daily.
It is also important to note that natural hgh releasers don't have any
of the above side effects, but do have some cautions of there own. (See
below)
There is a reason
that Hgh Injections are only available by a prescription in the United
States. The reason is due to the potential side effects of these prescription
injections, as well as the risk of infection from poorly done injections.
A qualified physician specializing in anti-aging is useful to manage and
monitor the treatment.
Another potential
risks of hgh is the elevation of blood sugar.
Elevation of blood
sugar can cause fat cells to break themselves down and release free fatty
acids into the blood stream. The risks of hgh caused by these free fatty
acids, is that these free fatty acids, as energy molecules can be taken
up by organs and be used for energy. When our muscles are consuming free
fatty acids as a fuel, they are far less interested in sugar, therefore
they tend to resist the effects of insulin, and extract less sugar from
the blood. At the same time, growth
hormone can increase glucose output from the liver to the blood. This
combination of potential hgh side effects can raise blood sugar and raise
insulin levels, neither of which are good. Fortunately, this is only a
problem in people who eat a diet high in sugar and starch, and do little
exercise.
Therefore in order
to eliminate some of risks of hgh, it is important to consume a diet fairly
low in sugar and starch, and to exercise regularly.
Type2
Homeopathic Hgh
There are no known
cautions or side effects with homeopathic hgh. Homeopathic treatments
have been used for 100's of year and have been proven safe & effective.
Even though the mechanisms of "why" homeopathic therapy work,
are not fully understood.
Type3
Precursors
There
are few side effects.
Extra substances the body doesn't use are just flushed out in your daily
eliminations.

Type4
Hgh Releasers Side effects and Cautions
Diabetics and borderline
diabetics, persons who have not completed their bone growth (children
and teenagers) and pregnant or lactating women, and cancer patients should
not take amino acid based secretagogues.
L-arginine &
L-ornithine amino acid cautions:
- Because growth hormone depletes potassium and opposes the actions of
insulin, diabetics and borderline diabetics should only use GH releasers
under a physician's supervision. L-Arginine and L-ornithine may improve
or worsen diabetic conditions.
- L Arginine
and L-ornithine sometimes have the side effect of reactivating latent
herpes virus infections. Therefore persons who have ever had ocular or
brain herpes should not use these amino acids and therefore avoiding any
potential side effects..
-Those with certain
psychoses may experience worsened symptoms if they take L-arginine or
L-ornithine.
L-tyrosine
amino acid cautions and side effects:
Cancer patients should avoid taking L Tyrosine, as certain cancers,
such as melanoma, can depend on this amino acids to fuel their growth.
Persons taking antidepressant drugs should consult their doctor before
taking L-tyrosine supplementation; as it may be necessary to adjust
antidepressant dosages due to the mood enhancing effects of L-tyrosine.
Supplemental use of L-tyrosine may raise or normalize blood pressure.
Insomnia may occur from over stimulation if taken too close to
bedtime.

HGH
'Doubles Death Rate' among Critically Ill
Human
growth hormone (HGH) was once considered a major breakthrough in intensive
care medicine as it combated the muscle wastage experienced by patients
who spend long periods immobilised in bed. However, results of a study
by researchers at Kuopio University Hospital in Finland have revealed
that treating critically ill patients with HGH could significantly increase
their risk of death.
The researchers
conducted two studies involving 247 Finnish patients and 285 patients
in other European countries who had been in intensive care for 5 to 7
days and who were expected to need intensive care for at least 10 days.
The patients had undergone cardiac surgery, abdominal surgery, or suffered
multiple trauma, or acute respiratory failure.
Results of the Finnish
study showed that the death rate of those treated with growth hormone
was 39% - nearly double that of those not treated with the hormone. Meanwhile
the respective death rates in the multinational study were 44% and 18%.
What's more, for survivors, treatment with HGH
seemed to increase the length that patients needed to stay in intensive
care or on a respirator.
