Doctors Comment on Growth Hormone

Doctors Cheney, Bennett and Landis
comment on Growth Hormone Therapy
February 18, 2001_updated April 2007

Dr. Carol Landis, professor at the University of Washington, recently presented findings at the Society for Neuroscience that women FM patients had reduced levels of growth hormone at night. In fact, she found that the growth hormone levels were low enough to be equivalent to healthy subjects who had stayed up all night

"Growth Hormone Secretagogue therapy provides effective relief of most symptoms related to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in a prospective patient-centered outcome study." - Dr. Paul Cheney

"Dr. Robert Bennett at the University of Oregon has theorized that the low levels of growth hormone observed in fibromyalgia patients make them more susceptible to muscle trauma occurring during the day that cannot be repaired at night." - Quote from "Making Sense of Fibromyalgia," by Daniel J. Wallace, M.D. and Janice Brock Wallace

DO THESE SYMPTOMS SOUND FAMILIAR?

* Diminished energy;       * Feeling unwell or unhappy       * Impaired cognition *       * Poor general health
* Reduced exercise capacity;       * Muscle weakness       * Cold intolerance *

The similarity between growth hormone deficiency and those of CFS and FM is striking. Doctors Cheney and Bennett have successfully tested the theory that growth hormone replacement may alleviate the myriad of symptoms of CFS/FM.

HOW DOES GROWTH HORMONE DEFICINEY OCCUR?

Approximately 60-90% of FM patients report trouble sleeping, and the majority of CFS patients also experience sleep disturbance. This disturbance happens when the deep, slow delta wave sleep is interrupted by the much more active alpha waves. Growth hormone is almost entirely produced during delta wave-present deep sleep. If you're not sleeping deeply, you may not get adequate levels of growth hormone.

Research has shown that more than 60% of Westerners suffer from some form of sleep disorder. What’s more, it has been proven that sleep and stress are inter-related, and that in order to create a more restful sleep, the body needs to reduce its stress and increase its ability to relax. AdvancedRx’s Deep Sleep nighttime formula is geared to improve both the quality and quantity of your sleep.

SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGH

Science has provided us with information that enables us to understand the processes that contribute to the deterioration of our health, well-being, longevity and our appearance. ‘Ageing’ generally refers to the deterioration of our body function and structure over time. As we age, we tend to see more frequent and severe degenerative diseases and a slowing down of our basic bodily functions. By addressing the physiological processes that age us and by looking at ways in which we can control them, we can slow this process and maintain new levels of vitality and longevity.

AGE REVERSAL

In the 1950’s Dr Anna Aslan, a Romanian cardiologist and director of the Bucharest Geriatric Institute was the creator of the world famous GH3 anti-aging formula. After her discovery she set up a test group of 111 people suffering from a variety of age-related afflictions. Fifteen years of careful records showed that the test group lived an average of 29% longer than the normal life expectancy, and GH3 was shown to reverse the harmful effects of the disease of ageing.

In 1990, after clinically testing GH3 one of the components produced naturally by using GH4 Dr. Ronald Klatz, President of the American Academy of Anti-Aging stated: "GH3 quickly improves the function of every organ in the body, grey hair diminishes and loose, wrinkled skin becomes firm and smooth as if you had a face-lift!"

Dr. Daniel Rudman’s clinical research at the Medical College of Wisconsin, demonstrated he was able to reverse the aging process of patients by as much as 10 to 20 years! Since Dr. Rudman’s initial findings, numerous independent clinical studies have also supported his results.

The natural ingredients in GH4 synergistically combine to reverse the aging process. Since being released in New Zealand in 1999, there are many recorded benefits to support this outstanding product.
