For ages HGH has been known for the lovely benefits it gives to the people. It is a natural hormone deep down in the body that keeps men and women youthful in a plenty of ways.
Human growth hormone has become a unique healing option for adults having GH (Growth Hormone) deficiency. Most recent studies show that a number of metabolic and psychological abnormalities related with HGH deficiency can be inversed with HGH replacement therapy, even at a lesser dose which does not carry any side-effects you can get more information from this

Read especially the first comment by Deb.
I feel she is right on target. Women have to begin to make intelligent responsibilty for their own bodies. If it is synthetic question the results to your body. Therer is no accident that with the
so called easier pop a pill lifestyle that there is no consequence to you body machine.

Just a quick response from a recovering breast cancer survivor. I have much more to say, but am in the middle of some research. However, I had to clarify the idea that women get cancer because they don't take care of themselves...Where did you come up with that one? Personally, I have been called a "health nut" for years. The right foods the, daily exercise etc. That was the last 3 decades. And out of the blue I had a lump. I had it checked etc. Had always had my mammograms. I turned 60 on my birthday the day after my second surgery after a fouled up surgery to remove it. I could go on. But here it is no one believed that I would have breast cancer. You make me angry too. Get a grip and check things out before you speak.

First of all, Deb, I am not going to address your rant on the healthcare system (I have my issues but clearly yours border on paranoia). But, I think its pretty callous of you to suggest that most cancers are due to a lazy lifestyle. Many individuals who do everything "right" get cancer. But, yes, you are correct in ascertaining that there are carcinogenics present everywhere in our environment and that it would behoove you to avoid them as much as possible. Many cancers are formed by genetic mutation and stating most cancers are caused by the environment is inaccurate. Did you ever take the time to consider that as you age and your DNA accumulates mutations, you are more likely to develop cancer? And that maybe an increase in cancer levels is also associated with a larger geriatric population? If you live long enough, you will get cancer. Also, are you aware that estradiol is actually present in every human being both male and female? And it is estradiol, not estriadol. Yep, it is present from birth. And never getting a mammogram, well thats just stupid. Sorry, your response made me angry and I think that it was crafted more out of emotion than actual facts.

Rowan Chlebowski's "study" is just more sifting of the largely flawed Women's Health Initiative. There is nothing new here. First of all, there are not only different substances in "hormone replacement therapy," there are different protocols - by mouth, transdermal, etc. Dosing schedules in a rhythm or not, or the levels. Which ones are taken together. All the WHI can prove is that some rather old women (most over 60) show these pattterns when taking drugs from Wyeth - Premarin or Prempro. It's bad enough that our tax dollars go to these tainted studies, it's even worse when the media reports them and gives them more credibility than they deserve.
The "devil you know argument" is a terrible approach when it comes to people's health.

EVER!
When 50 years after the chemical revolution that gave us plastics that leach xenoestrogens into our bodies, the drug 'revolution' that gave us the convenience of not having to keep our dimpled knees shut, and now the HRT therapy that keeps us from dealing with the discomforts of life - when all this totals up to the nearly tripling of breast cancer rates over that same period of time - from one in 20 (5%) to nearly one in 7 (or three out of 21 - 13% or so), you know it's been a bang up job for the drug and cancer industry to make a tidy profit for itself.
Sell poison to women, giving them the notion of 'no consequences' (unwanted babies) and wait a few decades and watch the profits roll in.
I am a 43 year old woman who NEVER has taken birth control. I rightly sussed out that these poisonous chemicals (estriadol IS A CARCINOGEN - no matter HOW you try to play it down! HELLO!!!) represent no answer to any problem that cannot be solved by using a bit of personal responsibility..
Now all the sudden when the money generating mechanism that IS American Healthcare is bankrupting and eating whole families alive do we - oops! start to take a look at these vaulted 'miracles' of scientific discovery. What rot.
Sure, if you've let yourself get fat, if you've spent decades poisoning you body with toxic estriadol instead of telling the men to 'fold it bud..', if you've bought the beauty-product myth and smeared petrochemically derived goop over your body, if you've got most of the 'new and improved' synthetic products that are so ubiquitous as to be invisible in your home - sure, stick your breasts in a machine, smash them flat and irradiate them too!
Why the heck not? Just drive off a cliff while you're at it.
Sorry if I seem a bit cynical here, but when study after study is pointing to the uncomfortable conclusion that as with so many diseases today, cancer is not much more than a poor lifestyle choice.. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that in MOST (though by no means all) cases it can be avoided by careful clean living, that avoids as many exposures to the chemicals and substances that cause this disease. And yes, radiation is one of those causes of cancer.
No one, however is pointing this out in plain terms. Now this of course will do nothing for the older women who blithely took pills instead of keeping their knees shut, and are in an almost constant state of fear for cancer. Too late sisters. Stay on that treadmill, it's all you can really do at this point.
There are still the younger women however, girls who are going to go marching lock-step down that never questioning path of mindless consumerism and the 'just do it' lifestyle of ease that may be setting themselves up for the VERY same misery that's got so many women over 50 having terrors about this disease.
There are MANY things I worry about regarding my health - and I've had really scary lumps come and go in my breasts over the years - but the fact is that I am more likely to drop dead of a heart attack or a stroke.
This fearmongering over breast cancer is a very profitable business and so much of it is founded on issues of personal integrity and fueled by the notion of 'sex without consequences'..
American women should be thermonuclear ANGRY over this baloney they've been sold for the past 50 years. I know I am, and I NEVER bit on that hook!
They should also be angry at those groups that sell this toxic life'style' choice.. Just like the USNews blog right here that is listing an advert for poison.. ermmm.. birth control pills for a "Mere $9 dollars a month.."
It's not 'mere' anything when the health costs are breast cancer and almost perpetual terror of this 'disease' made so common by slick sales marketing..
Glad I am not a mere 'consumer'.
Deb.
