Subject: HGH for Serious Neck Injury and Pain
Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2001 20:07:17 +1100
Hello Ellis,
My name is Peter Longmore and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I have used Norditopin now for 3 years 5 months, since August 1997. I am a 44 year old male. I have a daughter 18 years, son 16 years and another son 1 year old. I would like to relate my experience to you in the hope that it may help others with chronic pain.
I have always led an active sporting life and am very competetive by nature. I began snow skiing at 5 years old and this became my sport, my relaxation and my work as I left school at 16 years old and became a ski instructor. Freestyle competition (mogul skiing) was my forte and I thought that one day I would be competing on the world circuit as I had posted good results in world class events held in Australia. This was all about to come to an abrupt halt.
In 1978, at age 22, I had a bad skiing accident and fractured 4 bones in my neck. This involved compression fractures to C5, C6, C7 and C8. At the time of the accident I had temporary paralysis from the neck down but this only lasted about 5 hours. I was told later that one of the fractured vertabrae had shifted and hit the spinal cord which had caused the paralysis but luckily hadn't cut it. I was in a vary bad state indeed. I was told that if I hadn't had broad shoulders I would undoubtedly have been a quadraplegic.
Tongs were inserted into the sides of my head with a weight hanging from it (traction) and I was laid flat for a period of 8 weeks. As I was in a lot of pain morphine injections were my favourite time of day.
After the 8 weeks I was X-rayed again and it was found that the fractures were unstable and there was cord compression at C6 - C7 level so it was decided that I should have a posterior cervical fusion to alleviate the danger of the cord being cut with more movement. This involved fusing C5 - C7 with bone from my hip. This involved another 8 week stint in hospital in a plaster body cast (lower stomach to under the chin)
When I came out of the hospital I weighed 68 kilos (about 150 lbs) and had lost a lot of muscle and was very unfit, but the bones had fused and I was as good as I could be under the circumstances. Obviously I had less neck movement as what was once four bones had been fused into a single mass.
I was told by my Orthapedic surgeon never to ski again, no running, no weight training (no jolting movements) and to be very careful in cars as a whiplash injury could mean paralysis. I listened to his advice, but preferred to listen to my body, and began an excercise routine as soon as I left the hospital.
I trained myself to the stage of exhaustion, which didn't take much in my condition, but I perservered and found that slowly, day by day, I was improving my fitness level.
Since the accident I have had daily pain and for this I took Capadex and Morphalgen (morphine tablet) as well as accupuncture.
Just prior to 1990 I had intermittent symptoms of paralysis which was very dangerous as it would happen very quickly, and while driving home one night I ran off the road, as all of a sudden I had no feeling in my legs.
Again I had X-rays and the Neurosurgeons comments were:
"Intermittent symptoms of parasthesia and weakness of the lower limbs.
Posterior cervical fusion symptoms recur particularly on extension of the neck and involve mainly the C7 and C8 nerve roots.
Significant cord compression at C6 - C7 level and extension of the cervical spine increases the compression of the spinal cord.
Anterior excision of the disc and bony ridge with interbody fusion could afford adequate symptomatic relief and stability.
This procedure is a major surgical, high risk procedure and I recommend Dr Hirabayashi in Tokyo as there is a high incidence of cervical pathology including degenerative stenosis, therfore Japanese doctors have developed skills in the surgical treatment of cervical spine disorders."
These comments didn't inspire me to try my luck at surgery so I put up with the symptoms, took painkillers and tried to train as hard as I could. In 1997 I had another Xray in the hope that the technological advances in the past 7 years would enable the surgery to be done without the high risk factor, but again I was told it was a high risk procedure and that the best solution for the pain was epidural slow release morphine, or to go through with the surgery.
At this stage I was getting desperate as I wasn't getting enough sleep, due to either pain or partial paralysis from sleeping in any position other than on my back. I was getting four to five hours of sleep per night, but this would involve waking four + times within this period and I was getting to the point where self destruction was a real option.
I decided again not to elect to have surgery and, as I was self employed, decided to sell my importing company and to spend some serious time getting information about my neck and how to fix it.
The only respite from the pain was for a period of approximately two - three hours after an excercise session which was I guess an endorphin rush, so I decided that the best way to get pain relief was to train twice a day, once in the morning and once at night.
Great idea, and it worked as I thought it would. But it was
impossible to keep up as I wasn't recovering fast enough.
Injectable Growth Hormone
After spending many hours on the internet investigating the best
drugs/ vitamins etc, etc for recovery I stumbled upon an article
regarding HGH (human growth hormone). I concentrated my efforts then
into reading as much information on HGH as I could find. It seemed
perfect for what I was trying to do. My only reservation was that HGH
promoted bone growth, which in my case could be dangerous.
A doctor referred me to an endocrinologist. I showed him all the
articles I had and asked him if he would get me a blood test to
ascertain my IGF-1 level. This was done. My reading was 0.1 mIU/L,
after excercise. [note: I don't know what this translates to in the
American measurements, but it is "very low" because subsequently it
went up first 300%, then 450%, with 2 i.u.'s of rHGH per day. - Ellis]
note: The endocrinologist I see is:
Dr Walter Plehwe
Suite 3.2, Epworth Medical Centre
62 Erin Street, Richmond
Victoria 3121
Australia
Ph 03 9429 3744
Initially he was very sceptical and only relented to allowing me to
use Norditropin after confirming a very low IGF-1 level. He also said
he would be reluctant to let me use it if I was under 30 years old. I
don't understand his reluctance as surely a low IGF-1 reading in a
younger person is more of a concern.
I began injecting Norditropin in August, 1997 at the rate of 2 units
per day for 6 days, with 1 day off. Within one month I was able to
train twice a day, my sleep had increased to 6 - 7 hours per night,
the pain had lessened considerably and I had a feeling of well being.
My IGF level after this time was 0.3mIU/L.
[note: "Norditropin" is the trademark for somatropin made by Novo
Nordisk. Other brands which should be identical are Humatrope,
Saizen, Genotropin, etc. Note that IGF-1 tripled... - Ellis]
The pain has improved dramatically. Before HGH I was on daily
painkillers, and as stated previously they were very strong indeed.
This affected everything I did, and most importantly my mind set. My
belief is: if you think you're well, you are well. But when you
aren't sleeping properly and the brain is fuzzy with painkillers it's
impossible to have this belief.
Since this time I have experimented somewhat with the dose rate per
day, but in my experience 1 unit x twice daily (2 i.u.'s per day)
every day seems the correct rate for me. My current IGF level is 0.45
mIU/L and I still train twice a day.
[note: IGF-1 went up after several years of using 2 i.u. per day.
First it tripled, now it is 450% higher than at baseline, or 150%
higher than after it tripled. - Ellis]
Training in the morning is 45 minutes of cardiovascular (running,
stepping machine, cross country machine) and at night I lift weights
(1 hour - 1 hour 15 minutes ) My weight now is 97 kilos (about 215
lbs) with little body fat. I also ski every winter, practise karate,
and play golf when I have enough time.
I believe that the endorphin rush after excercise is why I'm feeling
so much better. The Hgh is an intregal part of this as it gives me
fast recovery and a sense of wellbeing and as a result of this I'm
able to sleep better.
After the last X-rays were taken the Neurosurgeon told me that at
some time I must have an operation as now the fused bone is growing
small spikes, which are growing inward through the spinal cord. (Much
as arthritis is small spikes growing outwards) I guess this is from
using grafted bone from my hip for the fusion. So from these small
spikes in the spinal cord I get a variety of symptoms including
partial paralysis (usually more like pins and needles which begins
faintly but quickly gets to the point where the limb is unable to be
used) This sensation is much like when your hands or feet get cold to
the point of numbness and then when they warm up you get this painful
unusual feeling.
There has been no improvement in cord compression or compressed
bones, but it hasn't worsened. Initially I was worried that this
might happen, as I thought that GH may promote bone growth in this
area, but this has certainly not happened.
Since taking Hgh I have slept 3 - 4 hours extra per night, take no
painkillers, and am able to excercise twice a day as recovery is much
quicker. My mind set is very positive and I believe I can hold off
this neck operation until technology is advanced enough that I am
comfortable the risk is worthy of the potential benefit.
To sum up, I still get this partial paralysis but I'm learning which
body positions provoke it and I am trying to alleviate them as much
as possible.
My son turned 1 yesterday and I'm looking forward to seeing him grow
up. The way I'm feeling, I definitely will be.
I hope that this long, life story has not bored you and that it may
be of some use to others, especially chronic pain sufferers, and
others who have similar neck and spinal injuries as I mine.
Good health,
Peter Longmore

Ellis,
Regarding the bone spikes forming within Mr.
Longmore's spinal column.
I have a Veteran friend who had the same problem
resulting from similar spinal injuries suffered on
duty as a military test pilot. His spikes grew
throughout the length of his spinal column.
He went through two separate operations to get them
removed. They did his lower spine first and a few
months later did his upper spine. Within two weeks of
each operation he was up and feeling much better.
After the last operation he told me he felt better
than he had in decades and did a little jig to prove
it! This, from a man who could barely shuffle along
six months earlier.
I hope that this fellow from Australia will do as well
when he has his operation.
Gary Kendall
Ellis,
If you have any other Australians that contact you with injury related
needs, you may want to direct them to Dr Gregory Wilcox who practises in
Kogarah, Sydney.
I have several firends who have seen Dr Wilcox (I haven't yet) though I
know he is extremely thorough from their experiences with him. Two of my
bodybuilding firends have torn pectoral muscles and cruciate ligaments,
and after thorough testing, Dr Wilcox assisted them.
NB ***** Please be discreet with his details- I haven't seen him yet and
am recommending him ON REFERRAL ONLY. He is a sports doctor, but he is THOROUGH! If he does not prescribe what your Australian friends require, he is still an extremely invaluable lead for sports related injuries and therapy.

About Me: My name is Ellis Toussier Bigio. I am "The Amazing Dirty Old Macho Man WHO DOES NOT GROW OLDER..." with emphasis on "who does not grow older" because that is what is most important. I was 63 years old in August, 2008 but I think I look and feel as if I am about 45... I honestly think I might be the healthiest and youngest 63 year old man in history because nobody before me has ever done what I have been doing since I was 20 to stay young and healthy... And sexy...
The fantastic hormones which I am now using and many of the anti-aging therapies that are so good for my health simply did not exist before 1985.
I live in Mexico City, where I am free to buy and sell and teach others around the world to use legal and good hormones, under the supervision of good doctors. I am not a doctor, but many doctors think I know my topic so well that they pay me to consult with me... Some doctors call me "colleague"... and other doctors call me "The Madman in Mexico..." (I prefer "The Madman in Mexico" because people accept that a madman might think differently than they do...) NOTE: I only use and sell LEGAL medicines. Everything I sell is registered with the F.D.A., or Salubridad in Mexico.
I like to think of myself as "the King of Growth Hormone," "the Father of EPO to prevent senility and age related loss of muscle and mobility" and... "the Father and the Mother of using Insulin for non-diabetics to prevent diabetes and aging."
I hope you will think I am "The King" and not "The Madman in Mexico"... but if you do, that is fine with me... He that laughs last, laughs best, and I have no doubt in my mind that I will have the last laugh. - Ellis Toussier

"I want to express my feeling of deepest gratitude to you for teaching me about the significance of EPO. I learned about EPO first from you. Initially I did not pay much attention to it.
What happened to me about two years ago when I was 88, was sudden mysterious anemia (hematocrit 35-38%). My doctor did not worry about my anemia... He said it is mild and stable, there is nothing to worry about... but I felt terribly weak... I felt like I was dying.
Reading what you have written about EPO on Rejuvenation, I asked another doctor to write a prescription for EPO. The results are beyond description. A Miracle! Now I feel stronger... much stronger than I was 10 or more years ago. Now I think better than before, and I publish better books and papers than before.
I wish to express again my deepest feelings of gratitude towards you. I feel you saved my life and restored my high working and creative capacity.

Hi Ellis,
"You might remember me. I am the 66 year old Phoenix firefighter that has the hyperbaric chamber that I use for mountain bike racing. I also let ill
people use my chamber ( for $5.00 which is the actual cost to operate a high pressure oxygen chamber for an hour) that can't afford to go to a hyperbaric oxygen center. I myself have done over 400 dives in the 3+ yrs that I have had the chamber. I owe it to you Ellis to explain what I know because I learned almost everything I now know (including the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen) and about staying healthy from years of following your advice on Rejuvenation."

Dear Ellis,
Even though we haven't yet met in person, I feel as though I know you. I feel this way because I have read quite a bit from your extensive writings on your website. I appreciate the way you use metaphors and analogies to get your points across when explaining information. You are very informative, you are very logical, and all that you write makes perfect sense to me.
One of the first things I did after stumbling on your website more than two months ago was to go straight to the drugstore and buy myself a glucose meter. After reading the very informative essay on your website about the dangers of high glucose and the things that typically cause high glucose numbers leading to diabetes, I thought for sure I was probably a walking diabetic who didn't know it.
I have gained great insight and knowledge into how the body metabolizes food from your writings. And I have learned that most diabetics become so because of their eating habits and not because of heredity. All this knowledge was acquired from reading through your website.
I feel greatly indebted to you for all the extensive writings on health and what things we can do to improve our chances of living a more vibrant life.
You are a wealth of information. I feel lucky to have made contact with you.

Dear Ellis,
I wanted to update you about my last order. What a miracle! I can't tell you how bad I felt until I realized how good I should be
feeling. Much more energy, clear thinking, all the effects that I
read about. I can't tell you how angry it makes me that a doctor
would not prescribe this stuff to me!
Thank you so much for what you have done with me. I thought at
first that you had a huge ego. But from how you made me feel, you
deserve the ego. No doctor has done a fraction of what you have
done. I can't begin to express my gratitude. Very expensive but
WORTH EVERY PENNY! I'd rather cut back all other areas just to
feel alive again.

Hi Ellis,
Just to give you my feedback, I started using HGH 3 months ago
at 1 iu per day. I had a slight headache for the first week, but
then it went away. In a retrospect, I should have lowered my dose
and let my body slowly adjust to it.
The results are very subtle. I still have crows feet by my eyes, and I don't see the backs of my hands being any different. However, small wrinkles above my upper lip disappeared, my lips are plumper, and they regained the vibrant color that they had when I was younger.
Recently I went to a wedding and met people that I didn't see
for years; they said that I did not change at all. Some of the
people that see me every day at my work say that I look good, and
others look at me carefully as if they were trying to detect scars from incisions after plastic surgery. BUT THERE AREN'T ANY. It's
like having a face lift from the inside; no scars. People notice
my youthful appearance but they can't put their finger on the
reason why?
I also noticed that I have more muscles and my mood has improved. I am beginning to feel happy and optimistic as I used to until last couple of years (I'm now 52). I hope that this trend continues.
Thanks to you Dr. Ellis! I am grateful for all you do.

Hi Ellis,
My wife wants to thank you, (and I want to thank you also) because since I have been controlling my sugar, I am not as moody.... For the last few years I was really irritable... I guess when your blood sugar is 200 to 400 all day it can make you grumpy....not to mention shorten your life..
Just think, last November my blood sugar was 300 in the mornings, before eating. Now it's 85-105 in the morning... My HbA1c was 8.3, and now as of two days ago it was 5.3%... not perfect "according to Ellis," but definitely not usual for diabetics.
My doctor couldn`t believe it, or understand it: diet, insulin and Ellis!
"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

Hello Ellis,
Thanks again for all of the time that you spent with me in Mexico City. I learned even more than I had hoped to on that trip.
When you first began to write about insulin for non-diabetics several years ago, I thought that you were probably wrong about it. I have slowly
become convinced that more and more of what you are saying about insulin is correct. By the time I came to Mexico City, I was pretty sure that you are right, and since then I've become even more convinced.
I've even found out that some major medical scientists are now changing their thinking in this direction, and one formal study has begun on the use of Lantus in individuals with any sort of impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance.
These scientists are far behind you, but their thinking is finally headed in the same direction.

Hello Ellis,
I have tried studying insulin, EPO, HGH, etc. on the internet and to be honest, all searches and sites eventually led back to you... In my opinion, you have far more research and current knowledge of what works than anybody else I have found... Compared to you, everybody else seems outdated and very rigid in their thinking...
Maybe I will go and get certified in anti aging medicine in a few years in the US, but I won't go until after I study under you... I don't know why, but this feels right.
You should have a legendary ego. You have done an incredible job
educating people on how they can improve their life. Most American
doctors fall short despite their long education. You are one of a
kind and I am one doctor that truly appreciates the efforts you
have made in helping people.
How do I feel? Outstanding, thanks to you.
Your friend,

Dear Ellis,
First of all I want to thank you for all you do for us and for
the life extending service we get from you.
I'm 80 years old and I am on HGH for about 10 years
and in comparison to other 80 year old people I look
much younger and stronger - due to what I do and get and learned from you.
Warm regards,

"Here is my honest opinion of Dr. XXXXX: He is a very smart man and very kind, but his office is a chaotic mess and he is extremely understaffed. Since as a patient I can never speak to him on the phone etc. it is impossible to work closely enough with him to get proper dosing etc. He is so busy though that it is impossible to be monitored by him the way one should be when starting any hormone therapy. His phone is always busy, appts. are hard to come by and he is VERY expensive. The average visit ends up costing anywhere from $500-$750 depending on what he wants to do, such as blood draws, bone density testing etc. I plan to never go back.
I am currently using a small portion of progesterone which was recommended by him and have been taking DHEA and melatonin to help lower my cortisol levels. I buy my HGH from you, of course, and most of the other supplements he had me take made me sick, so I stopped taking them." - (a female patient of Dr. XXXXX (a very well known and competent and expensive doctor.)
