Can You Benefit from Taking HGH?

How do you locate a qualified HGH physician to help you decide whether you are a candidate for HGH therapy? You’ve heard about HGH therapy, and you’re wondering if its right for you, as the phrase goes. It’s not just the stories in Vanity Fair and on the Internet, but testimonials from a woman in your fitness class or a guy you know at work . . . They all say HGH has a powerful effect on your physical, mental and sexual vitality. So you want to know more, naturally.

HGH is now manufactured by a half-dozen pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Eli Lilly, so it’s not like you’re buying street drugs. However, mainstream endocrinologists are not your typical HGH physician. Instead, it’s the anti-aging and longevity specialists as well as gynecologists who are beginning to stand out as HGH physicians. Often, these HGH physicians are affiliated with a prestigious organization, such as Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles or Harvard University.

Is The HGH Physician a New Breed?

HGH therapy was approved by the FDA some 30 years ago to treat certain growth-related syndromes. Since then, its application has been spreading to other segments of the population such as athletes, celebrities, and people who just don’t like the feeling of growing old. Because the FDA allows the HGH physician to use his or her judgment in prescribing, the definition of HGH deficiency has been expanding as well, to include folks who simply feel old before they are ready to throw in the towel.

Can it be HGH deficiency that makes a person feels he or she is losing their edge? HGH is critical for the growth spurt— those years when kids seem to sprout up an inch per day, when the hormones are raging, when the bones are pliable and strong and internal organs are seemingly immortal.

In adults, HGH physicians are diagnosing people with some of the following symptoms:

• muscle loss

• increased fat, especially around the waist

• anxiety or depression

• loss of interest in sex

• weaker memory

• low energy

• baldness

• dry, wrinkled skin

Since HGH is a growth hormone, it has an effect on a range of body functions. Perhaps most critically, HGH physicians say their patients report a better overall feeling and attitude. They wake up joyfully in the morning (like a kid). They welcome challenges. They see the beauty and glory in this world. The most common post-treatment remark is, I feel like my old (young) self again.

HGH Physicians Recognize Signs of Aging

HGH physicians see a lot of sad sacks. If they had the time, they could probably contribute greatly to the literature on HGH therapy. Who better than an HGH physician to describe the gamut of signs, symptoms and complaints that parade through his or her clinic day after day?

HGH therapy is a growing field because it’s a universal problem, says one HGH physician. Who doesn’t want to retain their health and vitality until the game is over? Oliver Wendell Holmes, who studied the law and medicine, wrote a famous poem about the wonderful “one-hoss shay” (one-horse carriage). The carriage was made of parts that all had equal strength that never failed. Then one day, 100 years after it was built, it fell apart completely and finally, « all at once, and nothing first— just as bubbles do when they burst. »

That is the goal of HGH patients: to live completely and healthfully, until the end.
