Hello All,
I’ve read many bodybuilding forums about HCG increasing testosterone and have found nothing about the remarkable studies of HCG reversing neurological diseases, including paralysis, so I thought I’d start the conversation. HCG appears to stimulate the production of neural stem cells.
Recently I came across an article by Dr. Jeffrey Dach: “Reversing Myopathy from Lead Toxicity.” (this article includes the link for Dr. Wright’s article. Dr. Wright is considered the “father of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy - BHRT”.

“Credit and thanks goes to Jonathan Wright MD for his article on HCG as a neuro-regenerative hormone. Dr Wright cites a 1983 study by Dr Patil on the effect of HCG on recovery from spinal cord resection in rats. Also in this 1983 report are two human cases of spinal cord injury with total paraplegia treated with high dose HCG (10,000 iu oer day) with remarkable improvements in both cases after 12 weeks of treatment with HCG. The explanation for the beneficial effect of HCG on neuro-regeneration comes form studies showing the brain and nerve tissue have HCG/LH receptors which stimulate production of neural stem cells. As Dr Wright says, HCG is safe with no adverse effects, and in his opinion, a trial of HCG is reasonable in patients with advanced neurologic degenerative disorders in the hope of stimulating regeneration of damaged neurons. HCG is widely available and easy to obtain. At this time, one can only speculate as to the possible benefits of HCG for a long list of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimers, neuropathies and myopathies etc. Perhaps, in the future, more studies using HCG will be forthcoming.(17-18).”
Also, Dr. Forrest Tennant is using HCG to reduce pain from neurological disorders.

When the study started, all 12 patients were taking long-acting narcotics for chronic pain and short-acting narcotics for breakthrough pain. Their "morphine equivalencies" ranged from 500 to 1,500 mg a day — a massive dose.
Dr. Tennant gave the patients a challenge dose of 500 to 1,000 units of HCG subcutaneously. In just one week, 8 of the 12 patients reported feeling improvement in pain symptoms. For the next year, those 8 patients continued to receive 1 to 3 HCG injections per week (subcutaneous dosages were 1,000-3,000 units per week; HCG shots are easy to self-administer, like insulin). No other changes were made during the patients' therapy.
And People Received a Lot of Relief
They had fewer flares of severe pain. Seven of the 8 patients cut their use of narcotics by 30-50%. Five of the patients said they experienced some pain-free hours. All the patients reported more energy, better concentration, and less depression. And after the year was up, all of them said they wanted to stay on HCG — which was hardly surprising, given the benefits.
My interest in HCG is to reverse my spino-cerebellar ataxia that has progressively worsened over the last 40 years. My major symptoms are difficulty in walking, poor balance, mild tremors, and mild speech difficulty. Currently, I am about a year or two from a wheel chair.
Another issue I have is cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction in the mid 30’s (normal 55-60). I’ve read that about 80% of cardio cells are now considered “cardio-neuron” cells. That being the case, I believe the HCG will also strengthen my heart muscles to fully contract. An increase of my ejection fraction would indicate HCG improves the neuro to muscle signaling; making muscles stronger.
I have decided to use HCG to hopefully reverse my ataxia, but was concerned about “desensitizing” the Leydig Cells. A big Thank You to Dr. Michael Scally for exposing this as a myth, using published reports and Dr. Scally’s own clinical experience. I remember reading years ago that taking large doses of any hormone may cause a temporary receptor resistance.
My original protocol was to use 2,000iu every other day, but will follow Dr. Scally’s recommendation of every 3-4 days for about 3 months.
In addition, I will take 15mg of zinc w/1mg copper twice a day to reduce testosterone conversion to estrogens and increase DHT (for sexual performance, I’m 64 years old).
Also, 750mg of a quality stinging nettle root extract, which is good for the above plus supposedly beneficial for the prostate and hair.
Hopefully I can start in a couple weeks. I will update this thread to report my “ataxia reversal” progress.
The bottom line? HCG may prevent and even reverse many neurological problems and even cardiomyopathy, as well as many other “incurables”.
