Just curious to the thoughts on this. I'm surprised its not talked about on here.

Interesting idea... I could understand the healing power. You've tried it? You're in nyc? I know a guy who sells it.

I haven't tried it but I feel like it is a viable option, I'm thinking about it. Does the guy you know who sells it sell the injection type or the natural supplements?

I tried it and I would not take it again. As far as I remember it is made from human blood, so you never know what you get.
Also I felt like all bad things did also grow. Not sure if it can affect viruses and bacteria and parasites, but also not sure it does not help them.If even magnesium is used by them.
Would be interestig what LLMDs think about HGH. It is not allowed if you have any cancer as cancer is getting worse.

It has been discussed before here on the boards. You can search the archives. It's probably better to treat the underlying cause first if your GH is truly low.
There are some natural ways to boost GH, higher dosing of L-Arginine is one but it too carries some risks.
There are other formulations intended to enhance GH release. One of the more well-received supps is Secretagogue Gold, though it didn't seem to do much for me (it does taste good).
A recent post also discussed the use of deer antler velvet as a means to boost GH. However, it's hard to trust these formulations, especially since one can conceivably get a prion disease from their use.
I wouldn't mess with GH unless absolutely necessary. It can monkey with sugar metabolism and so forth.
For males, testosterone administration will cause some spike in IGF-1 levels as well. Of course, using any hormones carries the risk of sides.
Unless clearly deficient, I would try (1) clearing your infections first or (2) natural supps to enhance hormone production.
Deep sleep doesn't hurt.

It didn't seem to make much of a difference for me. I posted about it here in the past. Do a search...
I took the injections. The oral supplements don't work from what I have read.
Sleeping in a very dark room might help.

Search the archives. I took it for about 6 yrs. I really was supposed to take it forever, but I ran into a snag about 1 1/2 yrs ago. Couldn't get the insurance company to clear it. They said the LLMD was at fault and my dr's office said it was the insurance company's fault. Guess who I believed!!
So I just gave up. I haven't noticed that much difference being off of it, but I DO think it helped me at the beginning.
I think it made me sleep better and I had more energy, plus a few little things I noticed.
