Better Chicken Soup Than HGH?

Interesting story to tell about HGH , when I was eight years old I slammed my finger in the door lost my nail and the docs said it would never fully grow back. Needless to say I was always self conscious about my nail , I would always wear a band aid to cover it up . I started taking HGH when I was 22, after 2 months on it the nail on my finger regenerated . I have a nail on my finger after the docs said it would never grow back. I told my doc it grew back after I took HGH and he laughed .( I have since found a new doc ) and told my that is crazy , he did not believe that I ever lost my nail. If it can make my nail grow back then the prospects of this being a drug that can regenerate the body and organs that are failing should be closely looked at. My supposition is that docs will never come to their senses and prescribe it because it can replace a lot of other meds that do nothing 4 us but mask the symptoms and makes us live with whatever ailment we have.

It is the US government and the religious fenatics in this country that that chooses to keep people from feeling better and living longer. HGH works just like stem cells work. Why make them illegal? Could it be that religion has a place in governing the American people. What ever happened to separation of Chuch and State?

Of course they work, it just seems like everytime we find something that truly works and it makes us feel great, the government finds a way to make it illegal and they have all these bogus studies to proof them right.

They like to see civilians weak and vulnerable, my friend just came back from the Marines and you wouldnt believe the kind of meds (illegal to us) that they take before combat so that they can withstand the attacks.

I know from a personal experience that HGH works and it is a miracle drug.

If you wanted to protect us from everything that is bad to our health close down all fast food joints which there is usually 1 or 2 for every block in America, sugar, lard, cooking oil and anything that makes Americans obese.

Please leave us athletes who want performance and endurance do our thing and believe it or not we are some of the healthiest people on earth.

Please keep the following in mind when evaluating such nonsense, and please bear with me, it’s really simple.

Simple physics (Newton’s second law) states that force = mass times acceleration (F = ma). With a baseball player, for example, the force (F) with which the bat strikes the ball equals the mass of the bat …..multiplied times ….the acceleration of the bat (ma). More muscle allows one to use a large bat, thus the mass of the bat increases. The increased muscle mass also allows a hitter to accelerate the bat from point A to point B faster.

Both the mass and the acceleration increase, so the force increases and the ball flies out of the park more often, against the wall for a triple, etc. In addition, when one is swinging at pitches one should not swing at because one is caught off balance by a good pitch, etc. one can still recover quicker than normally due to the higher acceleration of the bat to recover and hit the ball.

For this Stanford study and all earlier pronouncements in the nineties by the AMA, et all that HGH and/or steroids don’t boost athletic prowess is pathetically ignorant. The recent articles in Sports Illustrated point this out when they relate that while the AMA, et all were saying such nonsense, the athletes were using more and more because they KNEW it was boosting their prowess on the diamond, football field, etc.

I really would love to see you write an article on this and blast such nonsense as the Stanford study.
