Need Some Help With HGH

[babaracus]

Hi Lisa,

I am 18, 5' 6" and 135 lbs.

I have a bunch of questions about HGH.

I had leukemia when I was 8.

My doctor said that all the drugs they gave me all those years ago slowed down hitting puberty and the growth spurt.

They ran me through a bunch of tests when I was almost 15... hand x rays, gh levels, etc and asked when my parents hit puberty as well as their height

The doctor told me that I should eventually hit 5-10 to 6-1 but It is getting late in my long bone growth I believe as I havent grown in 6 months.

I just picked up HGH 191 100iu with the blue caps because my doctor says I should be happy to be me , but I am too short.

Anyway, I have been searching for good info and your site is really the most honest.

Well on to my questions.

How long should I take the hgh?
How much should I take a day.. week.. skip plus times a day?
How do you figure out a dose from an IU on a needle that measures CCs and or mls?
How long will this stuff stay good for once I mix it?
Best injection site? I read that it should be varied.

Any other info would be appreciated.

Dear babaracus,

Thank you for the kind words regarding my site, I appreciate it very much.

I know that having increased height is a definite advantage in our society, when we see professional athletes making millions of dollars. No wonder young people are trying to find ways to increase their height. I think it is sad when you can get paid much more if you are tall and can play ball than if you are very smart and work in more important areas. This should change.

Anyway, from what I read it sounds like you purchased HGH injections without seeing a doctor and getting a prescription from that doctor.

I am afraid my response won't be what you are hoping for, I am strongly against young, healthy people such as yourself taking HGH injections because I know of the dangers.

The injections are synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that is made for patients who cannot make enough of their own HGH.

If you have a normal functioning pituitary gland that provides you with a normal amount of HGH and you begin injecting yourself with HGH it can shut down your own production of growth hormone. The body does this to try to prevent damage to itself because it knows that too much HGH is dangerous.

You may already know that "hormone replacement therapy" is what people take when they get older and their body can no longer make enough of their own hormones. The most well known type of synthetic HRT is that which menopausal women take to help replace their low estrogen and progesterone.

Also, if you are not familiar with Andre the Giant, the French wrestler, you should read about him. He was very tall due to his body making too much growth hormone. He died in his 40's from congestive heart failure and during his latter years he was racked with skeletal pain and spent time in a wheelchair. Just looking at him shows that he had too much HGH, with large facial features and large hands and feet.

Besides acromegaly, HGH injections can also cause liver damage, enlarged breasts in males, fluid retention (edema), painful joints, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Now that I have given you my opposition to young people taking HGH injections I do understand that some are going to take the injections no matter what I say to try to dissuade them. For that reason I did give some general information about HGH injection dosages. You will find that information by going back to the forum home page and clicking on the sub-forum "HGH Injections"and then clicking on the 2nd "How much should I take" thread. That is the most information I can give about dosages.

By the way, the person/web site who sold you the injections, did they not tell you anything about how to take the injections they sold you? Of course they may not be qualified to give any such information, and selling the injections online or without a legitimate prescription is illegal so they probably don't care.

Please understand that there is no one dose for everyone. You really need to see a doctor and have your IGF-1 level checked and then have your doctor prescribe the correct dosage. I know you said that you have seen your doctor so perhaps you could try another doctor, an endocrinologist.

If you will not see a doctor I can only say that you should take the absolute lowest dose because the larger the dose the more risk there is for serious side effects and damage to your health.

I wish you the best, and please remember, you only have one body and what you do now can affect you for the rest of your life.

Is it worth the risk, especially since there is no guarantee taking the injections will increase your height. If your bones have already fused then the injections won't cause long bone growth to re-start.

Best Regards,
