An "Ageless Society" with HGH

And what if you are already suffering the ill effects of aging? Perhaps you could drop 20 years and stay that way to age 100, adding an additional 20 or 30 years to your normal life span.

This could allow you to live long enough to take advantage of scientific breakthroughs yet to come and maybe further extend your healthy life span to 120, 130 years and more.

Details about the ultimate anti-ager can now be found in the book entitled Grow Young with HGH by Dr. Ronald Klatz, President of the Academy of Anti-Aging. Basing his work on the cutting edge of scientific research written up in thousands of reports, books, interviews and double blind studies, Dr. Klatz announces that the "ageless society" has truly begun.

People have always dreamt about the existence of an effective anti-aging deterrent, or a way of reversing age. Since the beginning of recorded time the pursuit of the "Magic Remedy" has taken many forms, ranging from the proverbial fountain of youth, to the more recent, scientifically well researched, Human Growth Hormone (HGH).

Scientists today feel that in the not too distant future the average life expectancy can and will be extended to 100 years of age or more. Some experts even feel that the human body can live well into the 120s and 140s. Reasons for this include better medicine, replacement surgery, nutrition, supplements and now, perhaps most important of all, HGH. Therapies for anti-aging are not exactly new.

Famous clinics such as Ana Aslan's clinic in Romania have attracted tens of thousands for Gerovital H3 injections - many of the rich and famous such as Konrad Adenauer, Gloria Swanson, Groucho Marx plus some 50,000 other patients have been injected with fresh fetal lamb cells at Clinique La Prairie in Switzerland. While these treatments may have merit, none have passed the standards of drug testing such as controlled, randomized, double blind clinical studies. However, on July 5, 1990 everything changed. Dr. Daniel Rudman published in the New England Journal of Medicine his clinical findings on the effects of anti-aging and HGH.

The results were startling to say the least. Working with volunteers aged 61 to 81 at the Medical College of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Dr. Rudman used synthetically manufactured HGH to replicate what is created naturally in the body's own pituitary gland. The initial observed results: Six months of injections reversed the aging process from 10 to 20 years in the patients who received HGH. In the controlled group that didn't receive HGH, the normal aging process continued. Since Dr. Rudman's initial findings, thousands of additional studies have supported the fact that HGH can and does not only retard aging, but also reverses the process as well.

HGH: The Miracle Anti-Aging Hormone that can help you...

Look Younger Lose weight Restore hair growth Regain hair color Reduce wrinkles Improve skin texture Improve skin elasticity Feel Younger Restore sex drive Increase energy Restore bone and muscle mass Reduce blood pressure Reduce cholesterol Regenerate heart, liver, kidneys, lungs

The Ultimate Anti-Ager, Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is washing away the disease of aging. HGH affects almost every cell in the body, helping to regenerate skin, bones, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys to their former youthful levels.

The immune system is revitalized.

Heart attack and stroke risk factors are diminished.

Emphysema patients find their oxygen intake improves.

Osteoporosis is prevented.

Wrinkled skin is restored to youthfulness, diminished sexual organs are restored to former proportions, presbyopic eyes focus properly, hair color is restored…and that's just for starters!

The most effective Anti-Obesity "agent" ever discovered, HGH revs up the metabolism to former highs, selectively reducing the abdomen, hips, waist and thighs while at the same time increasing muscle mass. After six months of usage without exercise, an 8.8% increase in lean muscle mass and 14.4% loss of fat is reported as average.

As a powerful aphrodisiac, HGH restores sexual potency and sexuality in older men. A mood elevator, it restores a youthful sense of wellness and a zest for life along with the deepest levels of sleep.

Called "Cosmetic Surgery in a Bottle," facial wrinkles are smoothed.The skin regains thickness and youthful contours as it becomes more elastic and hydrated. Super healing properties can regrow burned skin and close ulcerated wounds.

Hair growth is improved and restored, nails strengthened, cellulite removed. Some of the latest research indicates that HGH may even hold great promise for Alzheimer's patients; and study after study adds yet another benefit...

In fact, everything that we associate with aging may be due totally, or in part, to the decline in HGH.

What Is HGH?

HGH or Human Growth Hormone (also called somatotrophin) is produced in the anterior of the pituitary gland deep inside the brain, where it is one of the most abundant hormones secreted. It influences the growth of cells, bones, muscles and organs throughout the body.

Production peaks at adolescence when accelerated growth occurs. If growing children have too little they remain as dwarfs, while if they have too much they become giants. HGH is one of many endocrine hormones, like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, melatonin and DHEA, that all decline in production with age. While many of these hormones can be replaced to deter some of the effects of aging, HGH reaches far beyond the scope of any of these hormones. Not only does it prevent biological aging, but it acts to significantly reverse a broad range of the signs and symptoms associated with the aging process.

Ample in our youth, production of HGH falls 80% from age 21 to 61.

Daily growth hormone secretion diminishes with age to the extent that a 60 year old may secrete only 25% of the HGH secreted by a 20 year old. By ages 70 to 80, virtually everyone is deficient in growth hormone, resulting in SDS, or Somatotrophin (growth hormone) Deficiency Syndrome.

Symptoms include loss of muscle and an increase of fat, decreased physical mobility, socialization and energy levels, diminished healing ability, a greater risk of cardiovascular disease and lower life expectancy. In otherwords, the symptoms of the disease called aging.

As you will see from the graph, practically everyone over the age of forty has SDS. The decline of growth hormone with age, sometimes referred to as somatopause, is directly associated with many symptoms of aging, including wrinkling, gray hair, decreased energy and sexual function, increased body fat and cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and more.

Many of these symptoms have been associated with younger adults who have growth hormone deficiency; in a sense, the biological age of these adults has exceeded their chronological age. The good news, however, is clinical evidence demonstrates that by replacing growth hormone we can dramatically reverse these symptoms to restore hair color and growth, regain bone tissue, increase energy and significantly reduce body fat, plus a score of other health benefits.

Turning Back the Biological Clock By 20 Years

In 1990, groundbreaking research by Daniel Rudman, M.D. shook the medical world. (Published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine) with the announcement that 12 men, aged 61 to 81 had reversed up to the equivalent of 20 years of aging in six months with growth hormone injections.

Until recently, growth hormone therapy has only been available in the form of injections that have been prohibitively expensive and difficult to use. The cost for HGH injections in the U.S. runs from $800 to $2,500 a month. Prices may start to drop as more pharmaceutical companies enter the marketplace. Nevertheless, they are still out of the range of most people…not only that some worry about the possibility of side effects of using an injected drug long term.

More interestingly - and within the price range of virtually every "baby boomer" - are the all natural HGH releasers or agonists known as secretagogues. These nutrients are designed to coax the pituitary to release its own growth hormone. Scientists have found that as we grow older we still produce HGH, but tissue levels fall because the pituitary gland does not release it. Secretagogues reverse this process naturally.

These are natural substances that have been well documented to increase growth hormone; and which may for some even exceed the effectiveness of HGH injections. According to researchers, these cutting edge natural secretagogues (HGH precursors) may have the ability to more closely mimic the body's youthful HGH secretion patterns than any other HGH therapies previously available.

Therapeutic Effects of Restoring HGH

Why is there so much focus on growth hormone restoration, and what does all of this mean for those of you who will suddenly have the HGH replacement substances available?

To put it simply, there is no other substance known to man that has such far reaching ability to prevent and reverse the aging process. At first appearance, it may seem too good to be true that a single hormone could have so many far-reaching effects. But as we look more closely at the scientific evidence from human studies and at the physiologic interaction between growth hormone and the body's various symptoms that affect these areas, everything begins to fall into place.

Dr. Daniel Rudman, an endocrinologist from Madison, Wisconsin, pioneered the original peer-reviewed research on HGH in humans. By the time Dr. Rudman began his work in 1985, growth hormone use had already been well established through its use in children with HGH deficiency.

Decades earlier, growth hormone from pituitary extract had been shown to decrease body fat significantly in laboratory rats. Dr. Rudman hypothesized that the changes in body composition which became apparent around age 35 had to do with declining hormone levels, and he began by testing HGH to examine its effects on lean body mass and body fat. Dr. Rudman studied 26 men between the ages of 61 and 81 who experienced significant changes in body composition with age, but who were otherwise healthy. All these men had significantly low levels of growth hormone.

Despite the fact that they did not alter their diet, exercise or smoking habits - the men who were given HGH gained an average of 8.8% in lean body mass while losing 14% of their body fat.

The subjects of the study reversed the parameters of aging by 10-20 years.

They experienced localized increase in bone density and their skin became thicker and firmer. According to Dr. Rudman and his associates the subjects of the study reversed the parameters of aging by 10-20 years. This study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, represented the biggest breakthrough in anti-aging medicine at the time and led to a wide acceptance that, in the words of Dr. Rudman, "The overall deterioration of the body that comes with growing old is not inevitable." Similar dramatic studies show that HGH may reverse human biological aging by:

Restoring muscle mass Decreasing body fat Thickening the skin Reducing wrinkles Restoring lost hair Restoring hair color Increasing energy Increasing sexual function Improving cholesterol profile Restoring size of liver, pancreas, heart and other organs that shrink with age Improving vision Improving memory Elevating mood and improving sleep Normalizing blood pressure Increasing cardiac output and stamina Improving immune function The HGH Study

Perhaps the largest study of the effects of growth hormone on humans has taken place at the Palm Springs Life Extension Institute under the direction of Dr. Edmund Chein, director of the institute, and his associate Dr. Leon Terry, a neuroendocrinologist from the Department of Neurology at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

Dr. Chein follows a growth hormone protocol that involves restoring HGH levels for patients who are deficient (IGF-1 less than 350 mg/ml) with low dose, high frequency injections. Dr. Chein, by combining HGH injections with other hormones that are shown to be low, has developed a program that he claims has been 100% effective for all of his patients. He guarantees that his patients will experience an increase in bone density of 1.5 - 2.5% every six months, as well as a loss of 10% body fat and an increase of 10% muscle mass.

These processes may continue until the patient attains the body composition of a twenty year old. Recently, Dr. Terry collected the data of patients who have been treated at the Life Extension Institute and has written up the amazing results. The following assessment figures were derived from randomly selected, self-assessment questionnaires completed by 202 patients during the term of their therapy between the years of 1994 and 1996.

Assessment Effects of Growth Hormone Administration (Low Dose Frequency) in 202 patients. L. Cass Terry, M.D., Ph.D. and Edmund Chein, M.D. Medical College of Wisconsin and Palm Springs Life Extension Institute.

Strength, Exercise & Body Fat Improvement Muscle Strength 88% Body Fat Loss 72% Exercise Tolerance 81% Exercise Endurance 83% Skin & Hair Improvement Skin Texture 71% Skin Thickness 68% Skin Elasticity 71% Wrinkle Disappearance 51% New Hair Growth 38% Healing, Flexibility & Resistance Improvement Healing of old injuries 55% Healing of other injuries 61% Healing Capacity 71% Back Flexibility 53% Resistance to Common Illness 73% Sexual Function Improvement Sexual Potency/Frequency 75% Duration of Penile Erection 62% Frequency of Nighttime Urination 57% Hot Flashes 58% Menstrual Cycle Regulation 38% Energy, Emotions & Memory Improvement Energy Level 84% Emotional Stability 67% Attitude Toward Life 78% Memory 62%

In general, these improvements were reported to occur within one to three months of the onset of therapy with a tendency to continue improving over six months of treatment!

Reversing Aging Naturally

Other studies have established that as the body's own growth hormone releasing patterns are more closely mimicked, so results become more profound and side effects are minimized. Recognizing the importance of restoring growth hormone to physiologic levels in this manner leads us to examine the effects of natural secretagogues.

Natural secretagogues (hormone precursors) may be our best hope for raising growth hormone in an entirely physiologic manner, because they stimulate the endocrine system to release its own growth hormone. In a process called "stacking," that is, packaging the right nutrients in the right proportions and taking them at the right time, you can derive optimal benefits - without using synthetics and needles. This, combined with a program of dietary manipulation and HGH-releasing exercises, offers even greater results.

Among the HGH-releasers listed by Dr. Klatz are the amino acids. He writes, "The smart money says to stack lysine with arginine, ornithine and/or glutamine." Arginine is an essential amino acid, meaning it is not manufactured in the body; it has to be supplied in the food we eat. Claims for arginine include an increase in fat burning and muscle building. Arginine strengthens the thymus gland, increasing its weight and activity, boosting immunity and fighting cancer. It also promotes healing of burns and wounds while generally protecting and detoxifying the body. Finally it enhances male fertility. The amino acid Lysine boosts the effectiveness of arginine and affects growth. On its own it has also been attributed with fighting viruses such as herpes. Ornithine can be synthesized in the body. Similar in structure, it can be made from arginine. It helps to stimulate HGH release. Glutamine is a conditional essential amino acid.

While abundant and one of the most used amino acids, it may not always be made by the body in sufficient quantities in times of stress. The gut and the immune system "practically live on it," says Dr. Klatz. Without sufficiently available levels, the gut atrophies, nutrients are less well absorbed, and muscle and immunity are also lost. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), one of the most potent stimulators of HGH-release from the pituitary to date, is a precursor to, and breakdown product of, GBH (gamma-hydroxybutyrate). This is a substance that occurs naturally in every cell of the body, including the brain. A neurotransmitter, it is involved in regulating the anterior pituitary - the place where HGH is secreted.

"There is reason to believe combining glutamine, arginine, ornithine and lysine will have a synergistic effect," says Dr. Klatz.

The glutamine-arginine-lysine stack releases insulin as well as growth hormone. Generally when HGH levels are rising, insulin levels are falling. However, if it is possible to raise insulin levels at the same time as growth hormone, it has a very high anabolic effect. That is to say the body builds up muscle and tissue, and carries out cell repair essential to reverse aging. "You don't have to increase growth hormone very much to get a 10% to 20% rise in IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor type 1) levels, which can have a definite effect on the body," adds Mauro Di Pasquale, M.D., world-class powerlifter and one of the most knowledgeable experts in the field of anabolic and HGH-releasing compounds. (Insulin-like growth factor is at the other end of the growth hormone chain. It is the substance that actually produces most of the effects associated with HGH.)

Secretagogue hGH

Secretagogue hGH

Perhaps one of the most interesting differences between HGH and other hormones is that the body keeps making large amounts of HGH right into old age, while other hormones diminish in their production.

The challenge in restoring youthful levels of HGH for most of us is not increasing our production or injecting the hormone itself, but releasing it from its sequestered state. We now know how to unlock the gates that keep HGH from circulating in the body. On the cutting-edge of today's anti-aging research is Secretagogue hGH, an all-natural product, which has produced startling results; and may very well become the basis for increasing the length and quality of our life. Secretagogue hGH was produced after years of research and development, and is the world's first effective, controlled safe dosage, efferves- cent Growth Hormone Release Stimulator. At a price virtually everyone can afford, the product works by assisting the body's own ability to secrete HGH naturally, three to four times more effectively than the direct hormone injections.

For less than $4.00 a day, anyone can now avail themselves of the vast benefits of renewed Growth Hormone levels once reserved for the wealthy, and in a natural, easy to take measured oral dosage. A three-month commitment to the program is highly recommended, although many people will notice an immediate effect. Furthermore, there are no reported complications as opposed to synthetic HGH injections which may cause various side effects, if abused. Secretagogue hGH utilizes an exclusive Growth Hormone Releasing Complex (GHRC) and a proprietary cutting-edge delivery system that addresses gastric absorption, transport through the bloodstream, and attachment to appropriate receptor sites. What is particularly exciting is that only natural substances are used. Early clinical testing with the product stimulated the body's own production of growth hormones with an amazing effectiveness. Additionally, this product addresses the entire endocrine influence on HGH release through insulin regulation, inhibition of somatostatin, stimulation of GHRH, and conversion to IGF-1.

The skeptics said it couldn't be done, but the existence of this miracle product proves otherwise!

Secretagogue hGH is a promoter of HGH-release and IGF-1 formation. It is designed to stimulate the release of growth hormone in males and females, who are prematurely aging due to a HGH deficiency. (Women who have had a hysterectomy with removal of the ovaries, or who suffer from other chronic degenerative diseases, may benefit greatly from this product.) Secretagogue hGH is truly an amazing substance, which is both safe and effective with no side effects.

To date, no other anti-aging research or product has even come close to getting such tremendous results.

Conclusion

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is important for a number of reasons in older individuals. It slows down and even reverses many of the aging processes that occur in the body. Since aging is now considered a disease and not just a normal occurrence, anyone who wants to maintain their youthful vigor and endurance should include an effective growth hormone therapy as part of their health regiment.

Until now, HGH has only been available by expensive injection for the world's wealthiest people. It has been used in Europe and the United States for approximately 15 years with gratifying results. Finally, after several years in development, PRO hGH, the world's first all-natural growth hormone releasing complex, is now available to those who are interested not only in staying young but also reversing back their biological clocks. Based on numerous studies with Human Growth Hormone, medical science has already proven that it is possible to reverse 10 - 20 years of aging in as little as six months of therapy.

Secretagogue hGH, therefore, represents the greatest and most important discovery in the field of life extension and age reversal; and is our best hope against the "war" on aging. Secretagogue hGH is a food supplement and NOT a drug. It is a synergistic combination of Amino Acids, Protein Fragments and Pharmacological Sugars - all from Natural Plant Sources. It is actually a stimulator of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), which is as potent as the actual growth hormone itself.

The problem in the past has been that this insulin-like growth hormone or growth factor has been broken down in the stomach by the bile acids and has not been available for absorption. Secretagogue hGH with its proprietary delivery system eliminates this problem in an all-natural plant based proprietary formula which can be taken orally and may do some of the following:

1. Reverse many of the problems that are caused by aging, such as wrinkled skin, increased body fat, decreased muscle mass, increased cholesterol and blood pressure, decreased stamina and energy, decreased mental function, impaired neurological functions such as Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis.

2. Retard the aging process in the body. So here's to the next six to 12 months…may we all become 10 to 20 years younger!
