Homeopathic Human Growth Hormone

By Biomed Comm

Human growth hormone (hGH) has been widely acclaimed over the past few decades as the body's most powerful hormone because of its significant anabolic and anti-catabolic effects on the body. As doctors and scientists work hand in hand to find ways to extend the average life span, equal attention must be devoted to improving the quality of life and developing stronger healthier bodies through non-toxic, safe and affordable medicine.

hGH, also known as the master hormone of the body, is responsible for many effects on growth, development, immunity and metabolism. Produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland in the brain, hGH is usually released during sleep in pulses in response to positive and negative signals from the hypothalamus. hGH exerts anabolic effects throughout the body through its co-messenger IGF1, favoring growth of tissues, bones, cartilage, muscles, skin, liver and kidney.

The bio-engineering of recombinant human growth hormone in the mid-1980s made hGH more widely available as an injectable prescription drug than in previous decades. As a result, hGH received wide public attention for its well documented benefits on physical performance, body shape, composition and immune enhancement. Specifically hGH stimulates increased lean body mass which is a significant life extender since depletion of lean body mass results in muscle weakness, organ failure and death. More than muscle size, lean body mass encompasses bone density, organ density and vitality, restoration of shrinking cells back to their normal size and restoration of intracellular and extracellular water.

The amount of human growth hormone in a healthy adult declines about 14% per decade after age 30 and is frequently non-existent by age 80. The decrease in hGH levels seen with aging may result in detrimental health consequences such as reduced skeletal muscle mass and strength, decreased bone density, increased fat, reduced energy and exercise capacity and reduced immunity.

The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology and the American College of Endocrinology suggest that hGH deficiency is an age-related event characteristically defined as a cluster of easy to recognize symptoms which include:

• Fatigue
• Increased weight and abdominal obesity
• Decreased lean body mass and decreased muscle mass
• Decreased strength
• Poor sleep
• Impaired sense of well being
• Decreased exercise capacity and physical performance
• reduced cardiac performance

Many of the characteristics associated with aging are directly related to the amount of hGH available to the body and can be impacted upon in a positive manner if the level of hGH in the body is increased. hHG and its mediator, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1), may actually help treat the blueprint of aging, keeping the cells in as healthy a state as possible. A cell's ability to function depends on the genetic codes for all the proteins, hormones, and enzymes that make the cell run. Up until now, antioxidant supplements such as vitamin C and E helped us limit the damage to the DNA and bolster our immunities.

hGH and IGF1 go further and do what antioxidants cannot do. hGH and IGF1 help the DNA repair itself prior to cell division. hGH initiates the transport of amino acids and nucleic acids into the cell, including the cell membranes. IGF1 facilities the transport of nucleic acids into the nucleus of the cell where the DNA resides, giving it the raw material needed to repair damage to the DNA and initiate cell division. With many positive effects on the body, supplementation with homeopathic human growth hormone may be a significant factor in treating symptoms of human growth hormone deficiency. Homeopathic dilutions of human growth hormone promote these benefits without the adverse side effects associated with high dose forms of injectable human growth hormone.

Homeopathic hGH
Biomed Comm has completed three different types of double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies to evaluate the efficacy of homeopathic human growth hormone as an oral, chewable tablet. Our clinical results (which will be incorporated into our web site after publication in medical journals) suggest that homeopathic hGH provides a safe, affordable method to optimize physical and mental functioning plus improves self-perceived quality of life values.

Just some of the benefits seen after a six week program of oral homeopathic hGH therapy are:

• Increase in energy
• Increase in muscle mass without exercise
• Decrease in body fat without dieting
• Stronger immune system functions
• Improvement in sleep patterns
• Improved physical appearance
• Increase in skin softness/suppleness
• Visual Improvements
• Improved respiratory functions
• Reduction in anxiety
• Relief of headaches
• Reduced blood pressure

Homeopathic hGH is believed to work better in conjunction with homeopathic IGF1 to improve body health, strength, endurance and mental concentration.

With many positive effects on the body, supplementation with our homeopathic hGH or in combination with our homeopathic IGF1 may be a significant advance in addressing the symptoms of aging and human growth hormone deficiency.

Problems Associated with Too Much or Too Little hGH

The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology defines GHD as a cluster of self-perceived symptoms as listed in Table 1. Age-related declines in hGH and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 levels are also used to define GHD. Following puberty, hGH declines exponentially. Growth-hormone (GH) secretion peaks at 31 years of age, then declines by 14-50 percent per decade, depending upon gender, activity level, and diet or the onset of chronic disease. Women have slower, yet more statistically significant, age-related declines of GH. The prevalence of GHD is not agreed upon and symptoms may occur in a large number of adults. Pharmaceutical company representatives state that GHD is present in approximately 70,000 U.S. adults, while other people say that the incidence is at 40 percent in persons 60-88 years old or others state 1 out of every 4000 people.

Test subjects were selected to receive Homeopathic GH or placebo, in the form of chewable tablets marked, bottle "A" for the first 21 days. Following this period, all subjects were crossed-over to bottle "B" which contained the opposite test substance, i.e. treatment crosses to placebo and vice versa, for an additional 21 days. Each participant was instructed to chew tablets thoroughly, three times daily, i.e. upon rising, afternoon, and early evening, without simultaneous ingestion of any other substance (in between meals.) Group assignments were not revealed to the subjects or experimenters until the study was completed. Assessments of body composition and specific laboratory measurements were made before commencement of the protocol and every 10 days until completion of the study.

Results demonstrate a significant effect when subjects received Homeopathic GH treatment. Lean body mass significantly increased, and body weight, body fat, and blood pressure significantly decreased. Body composition improved, and there were significant increases in upper arm size compared to treatment with placebo tablets. In addition, subjects reported significant increases in energy, mental clarity and improved sleep quality. Results of this study are being submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed medical journal.
