From: "Elmer Cranton, M.D."

A good study shows that a large number of elderly male patients taking HGH over a long time had no increase in prostate cancer.

That rumor got started when it was reported that elderly men with the lowest quintile of IGF- (lowest fifth of HGH) has less cancer than men with the highest 20% (highest fifth). There was no linear correlation of IGF-1 and prostate cancer in the study. They only reported less cancer in the most deficient of an elderly population.

What that report did not point out was that the lowest fifth were so deficient that all tissues of the body were inhibited in growth, healing and maintenance--healthy as well as cancerous.

It is quite a different thing to state that deficiency of essential hormones slows the growth of cancer (and everything else including a healthy body) and, on the other hand, trying to prove that hormones cause cancer.

Life and health cannot progress without hormones. Cancer cannot progress without a living body to support its growth. It is quite predictable that if old people are dying from end stage deficiencies, they might have less cancer.

If all of the facts were reported, it is my opinion that the most senile and debilitated of the group would also have been those in the lowest 20% of IGF-1. But that data was not presented.

If HGH is only replaced to an average level present in the body for 30 years, from age 20 to age 50, and if it was safe during that 30 year period, and if it was essential to health during those 30 years, what is the harm in replacing it after age 50 when it becomes deficient? If it's dangerous, why does it not cause problems in the earlier 30 years when it is normally present in the same levels or higher from pituitary production?

Note: Excessively high doses of hormones can be harmful, I am talking here only about normal replacement doses.

Buying Growth Hormone in Mexico"

"I am a plastic surgeon in Shreveport, Louisiana. I just found your two sites on the Internet. I've read your personal experience site twice and have read much of the Message board that contains over 6,000 messages. They are excellent.

I became interested in growth hormone and antiaging three years ago and have been taking growth hormone at bedtime for over two years. Like you, my results have been impressive. I'm 57 years old. I am 6 ft 1 in and weight 202 pounds with 9% body fat. I exercise regularly ( 5 times a week) and do moderate weight training.

My diet is good, high protein, moderate complex carbs and low fat. After reading your page I certainly need to improve it some.

Due to my personal results, I started offering anti-aging and growth hormone replacement to my patients 8 months ago. I've read much of the literature and have attended two meetings of the American Academy of AntiAging Medicine. Although it only been a few months my patients are THRILLED about the therapy and almost all are reporting specific areas of improvement.

Thanks so much for your work in this area. I want to return to Puebla for more Spanish education. Possibly I could include some time in Mexice City also. I would love to meet you. Gracias, Dr. Jim McDonald

Every anti-aging doctor that I know, and most serious anti-aging persons that I know, all belong to THE LIFE EXTENSION FOUNDATION. If you are interested in anti-aging therapies, I highly recommend that you should see their website and subscribe to their magazine. A search for "DHEA" or "testosterone" or "growth hormone" will turn up more than 20 superb, basic articles, protocols, and discussion lists. Life Extension has the single best anti-aging website on the internet, (including this one, which I think is the second best) with thousands of superb pages and articles, and it is constantly growing.

Note: For whatever it is worth, I am a very well-known in anti-aging circles. I will give you the chance to earn a Diploma in Anti-Aging Therapies, signed by me. This diploma may not be worth very much to Health Authorities anywhere, but I hope it will be worth a lot to you, for what you will learn. Read my personal program below, then read all my pages in my Table of Contents. Then e-mail me and I will send you a long examination. If you pass my test with a 95% or better, I will send you a Diploma in Anti-Aging Therapies, signed by me, at cost, plus whatever you wish to add. No Bull. Just learning, and good ideas. - Ellis
