The Story of Lazarus Long : Founder, El Dorado Clinic, Mexico, 1993
The First Clinic in the World to Use Injectible Growth Hormone for Adults
"Growth Hormone replacement therapy with vitamin supplements can and does slow down the aging process. It even reverses some of the worst symptoms of the aging process. I, myself, am the best example of this that I know." - Lazarus Long
This is my personal experience with growth hormone, written by suggestion of the Rejuvenation and Longevity Foundation.
In July, 1990, I read the article published in the New England Journal of Medicine about the study by Dr. Daniel Rudman on World War II veterans, in which he gave them growth hormone replacement therapy for six months. The result of that study was that these men lost an average of 14% body fat, increased muscle mass between 9% and 12%, and they all reported feeling more energy, potency, and in many cases increased libido. The latter also depended partly on their having a sexual partner or not.
At this time of my life, I was in very bad shape. I had sat behind a desk for many years, my belly had continued to grow, and my waist measured a full 45" which was "big"... My right hand trembled so much that I couldn't write, and my left hand and my head had also begun to shake a little. I knew that if I continued in this path I was not far from death. I was barely 59 years old, and I didn't want to die.
I called a doctor friend who was a stockholder in my company, and I asked his opinion about Dr. Rudman's study. He had not read it, so I invited him to lunch and I brought him a copy. I asked him to find out all that he could about growth hormone.
A few days later he called me and asked me to come to his office. He found many studies on children with growth hormone deficiency who were taking it to grow taller, but he had only found one study on adults.... This was a study on osteoporosis performed at the University of Southern California (U.S.C.)that lasted six months, and that got many of the same results as Dr. Rudman... but on top of that, these patients had also recouped 10% in bone mass, and 7% to 10% in the thickness of cartilage between the vertebrae of the spinal column... and internal organs, which atrophy and get smaller with age, had increased in size about 7% to 10%.
I didn't need any further studies to convince me that growth hormone could help me, so I asked my friend to please get me some. He was very reluctant, and he suggested that I should wait more until further studies would be made. "If it still looks promising a few years from now..." etc. I told him that I didn't think I had too many years left ahead of me, and I couldn't wait a few years for those studies to be made... I really wanted to try this new stuff...
Finally, he agreed reluctantly, and he said he would try to get it for me. That afternoon, he called to tell me that it was impossible for him to get it
for me. Growth hormone could only be obtained with the prescription of a pediatric endocrinologist for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency in children... that is, only for midgets... The two pharmaceutical companies in the United States that were producing it only had it approved for that purpose by the F.D.A. and they were afraid that if they would sell it to other doctors they could have big problems for doing so.
I was determined to get the medicine I felt could help me. I learned that it was for sale in Mexico, and in the following months I made contact with a doctor that I found in Monterrey. I convinced him that I had a doctor who would take care of me in Houston, and I asked him to get me enough for a trial, which he agreed to do the next time he bought for a couple of short children under his care. When he let me know that he had it, and I went to Monterrey during Christmas vacations, and I came back with enough to last me 90 days. I began to take growth hormone on January 3, 1991.
Within the first 90 days of treatment I could already feel the difference, but the doctor who was taking care of me was convinced it had to be the placebo effect, which is to say that I wanted it to work so badly that I was convincing myself that it was working.
Another serious incident happened: I was having dental work done in my mouth. Two weeks after I started to take growth hormone, a bridge got loose and I had to go to see my dentist to fix it. The dentist took one look inside my mouth and was surprised to see how it was... What was I doing? he asked. He told me that I had healed as much in 18 days as it usually takes 2 months to heal. I knew immediately that it was the growth hormone that was working. Since then, stories like this have become common. One of the benefits of growth hormone is that it makes wounds heal much faster.
In the fifth month, in a period of three day, the shaking in my hands ceased and has never returned. This clear evidence of reversal of the aging process surprised and delighted the doctor that was now taking care of me. Now, he too became a believer! Now he wanted growth hormone for himself, too, because there were other benefits apparent in me. Inches of fat had begun to disappear, muscle mass had increased, and blood pressure had normalized... I had not changed my eating habits or my exercise habits, either. Dr. Kiethly was 50 years old at the time.
I called the doctor in Mexico... I had to call him several times to convince him to get me twice as much growth hormone, but I finally convinced him. During the next year, Dr. Kiethly and I took growth hormone together. The changes in me were apparent. People would ask me what was I doing? What a change! but when I would tell them what I was doing, some of them wanted to try it too, because everybody wants to improve their quality of life. That's when I would have to inform them that growth hormone was still experimental, and there was nowhere they could get it, it was forbidden...
By then my waiste measured 36 inches (now it weighs 34) and my eyesight had improved to the point that I didn't need glasses to read anymore... I was feeling better than when I was 40.
Don't get me wrong. There were times when I would question the wiseness of what I was doing. The cost of the hormone was a lot, the changes didn't show up as soon as I had expected them to, and sometimes I wondered to myself what would happen if I stop using growth hormone? In Rudman's six month study, the men had returned to their former state in 6 months. I didn't want this to happen to me. Some people think I'm as stubborn as a mule, and I don't want to say this, but they're right. But I have no doubt that if I had not taken the risk to use growth hormone, I would be dead right now, or nearly dead. This was the best decision I ever took.
Although at first I only took growth hormone and vitamins, I soon began to take DHEA, melatonin, and minerals also. Anybody over 40 years of age would benefit from such a program if they are interested in a better quality of life, and a chance at a long and healthy lifespan.
In February, 1993, Dr. Kiethly and I opened the El Dorado Clinic, in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I ran the place for a year and a half. Unfortunately, Dr. Kiethly died in an accident three months after we opened. When I learned that growth hormone was finally legal for doctors to prescribe in the United States, I closed the clinic in Mexico and I looked for doctors in the United States to take care of our patients there.
In El Dorado we had made the mistake of telling our patients to try growth hormone for three months, because we thought that in that time they would see so much improvement that nobdoy would want to stop using it. This was a mistake because results are slower than three months in showing up. I resigned and retired from the clinic in December, 1995 because I was so convinced of this mistake.
Anybody who decides to follow these steps should do so with eyes wide open. It took me 59 years to reach the state I was in when I first began to use growth hormone. After one year I was much better... after two years I was much better still... and now, after 5 years, I am a new man, much younger than I ever would have dreamed possible.
This is to say that if you decide to follow this path you should do so with dedication and understanding that it is your life which is at stake. You must understand that it is going to take some time, so that the gradual results add up to new youth. But those who start with a positive attitude and patience and who followed through can tell you that the wait is worth it. If you take your medicine with faith and dedication, and if you allow Nature and your body enough time to heal your body, then you, as I, will never wish to return to the body in which you are in today.
I know that many will never want to take the first step. I know that it is a big step to take, but if you don't intend to stick with it, then it is better that you don't begin at all. Many of those who began to take growth hormone in El Dorado are still on the program and they have the same results that I have had... but others many others left it because they did not get the instant gratification which they expected to find. Unfortunately, you won't hear much from those who are benfitting from growth hormone: the T.V. and movie stars, the politicians, etc. They don't want to say that they had to take hormones in order to look and feel as they do... but there are many who do.
The goal of the Foundation for Rejuvenation and Longevity is to reduce the cost of this treatment and to make it affordable to as many as possible. This is why I would like to help. I wish that every person above the age of 45 would be able to have the benefits that I have had, but some critics say that this would cause other problems... They have told me "Too many old people would cause Social Security and Medicare to go broke. But people who think like this lack vision, their argument is flawed. If the population is healthier, and if senior citizens still contribute to the economy instead of sitting on wheel chairs or lying down in beds in hospitals or old people's homes, we would all be much better off.
To all those who want to follow this path, I welcome you. I am certain that we will see much more of the XXIst Century, and many of the great advances that still not been discovered, than if we had accepted to "age gracefully" instead of seeking a solution such as this, to restore our bodies to a more youthful state of health.
May you never lack good health,
Howard Turney
