well we all know that sooner or latter you should come off steriods to give your body a break and what not, but it seems that most people recommend you stay on GH for extended periods of time some going on all year and more. at what point would you say being on is no longer effective? to make it more effective would you have to increase the dose? could you live off of gh and take it for the rest of your life if you had that type of cash? come on Einstein i know you have an answer that will take me 3x to read before i comprehend it, so let's hear it.

I started growth at 4ius per day 5 on 2 off over two years ago, I've bumped it to 10ius for a period, then after about 4 months chopped it back to 1iu per day, but back up to 2ius per day for pct, then have a break for 4 weeks, I've only seen improvements, and at the dose I'm taking it now I'm going to remain on it for the rest of my life. I get all my levels checked, and my igf-1 levels are what they should have been when I was 20 (I'm 40 now), taken at the end of my break period. I've been researching the effects of growth for many years now, and as I've said in other threads it is a sackable offence to administer growth to patients after midday at the clinic where I do research. I've got more hair on my head now than I had when I was 20, and overall my fitness levels are high. I am convinced that a.m. shots of growth are definitely beneficial, where as p.m. shots have caused massive shut down in the thousands of rats we've tested. Cost isn't an issue for me, if I thought long term 4 or 5ius per day would be alot more beneficial to me, then thats what I would be taking. If you want repair and rejuvination low daily a.m. shots are the way forward, if you want rapid weight/muscle gain then you must use Einsteins growth/slin protocol. There are people who get treated at the clinic who have been having growth for over 10 years, and my only comment is they all look many many many years younger than they are, and all are remarkably fit and pliable.
 
Bro if you got the money you could run it at low doses indefinantly with no sides. I have run it at 2 iu's ED for the last six months(using it primarily for fat loss) and it has worked for me.
 
re:

How much fat can you loos withing 3 months period? The reson i ask it cause damm i am fat right know and need to loos about 24lbs to get too 8%bf and i was thinking it may take about 3 months to do so with diet and runing.

You could run it forever and not have a problem, the thing with GH is that it is so expensive.If you are rich though, you can run it for a long time, I hope this helps you.

Granville,
I've seen you make a similar post in the past. What happened to the old protocol of injecting growth when indigenous insulin levels are low because of the antagonistic relationship with GH? It would be difficult to find such a time in the AM is why I'm assuming most inject before bed. I'm just wondering what your thoughts/experiences are on this.

RVZ,
I've seen the same information, being a research scientist I try things out irrespective of previous findings, my use of growth is primarily repair of damage caused by years of sun damage from surfing and tendon damage from also being a long distance runner. My biggest concern having seen the results in both humans and particularly large numbers of rats is supression of ones own gh production, which in my opinion is the only danger of taking growth at reasonable levels (10ius per day or less). After massive long term trials on rats, the repair axis of growth varied very little irrespective of time taken, which leads to the conclusion that it would be adviseable to inject the growth at the least damaging time to ones own body............early a.m. I don't know of any recorded results of a.m. injections of growth from being any less effective than taking it when body insulin levels may be lower. Opinions on growth seem to change daily, I was impressed with einsteins growth/insulin protocol which would also seem to go against accepted principals, he takes both simaltaniously and recorded his levels, some of which would on paper seem very low, but in practise acceptable. I am of the opinion that there will be many cases in the future of very supressed growth production in those that continue to take growth at a time which compromises ones own production most.

I'm not a rat but will voluntarily be a guineai pig for gh experiments:D
 
GH has the potential to cause some degree of long-term insulin resistance, but it also has a very acute effect of causing hyperglycemic effects. I think many people have, mistakingly, drawn the conclusin that people administer GH and insulin concurrently to offset the acute effects of GH. That's certainly not my reason for doing so. In fact, it's GH alone that causes a very acute boost in BG, but GH's half-life is less than 10 minues. The subsequent IGF-1 rise causes and insulin-like effect, dropping BG levels, so I'm not using insulin with GH for BG modulation on the short term....GH/IGF-1 manage BG levels themselves. The reason GH and insulin complement each other so well is due to their complementary ability to facilitate the uptake of particular amino acids. Insulin indirectly facilitates the uptake of the majority of amino acids, whereas GH indirectly facilitates the uptake of the remainder (not quantity-wise, but referring to specific amino acids). The two together provide adequate raw material (a full complement of amino acids and sufficient glucose) for the actions of AAS, primarily increased protein synthesis) to be fully potentiated.

Hi Einstein, I'm seeing a longevity md now that has me doing low dose gh in the morning(1iu) and 1 500mg. metformin(extended release) with my evening dinner to help modulate blood sugar. What's your thoughts on the effectiveness of this approach. I'm doing this with testosterone(100mg. per week) for longevity purposes and healing.(I'm 51) Thanx for your thoughts. Greg B.

Granville,
I'm somewhat aware of the natural circadian rhythm of indigenous GH release, but is there evidence of GH suppression? We all know that introducing exogenous testosterone inhibits the bodies' own test production, but is the same actually true for GH? Suppose the body produces 1 IU of GH during sleep and you inject 4 IU at bedtime. What information is there that we would not, in effect, have 5 IU's of GH circulating...an additive effect? I'm not arguing, just making discussion.

I much prefer Avandia (rosiglitazone) to metformin....it's much better in all respects IMO. Some will say it'll make you fat.....only in the same way insulin will make you fat, by consuming excessive carbs and fat while Avandia is working.
The GH in the morning is fine, but I'd also use the insulin-sensitizing agent with the GH for the reasons I mentioned above. I'm sure his reasoning for advising PM metformin instead of using the GH and metformin together is because of the IGF-1 and metformin both having the potential to drop BG, and combined, this could be similar to the extent that low dose insulin would affect BG. however, you can use them together and capitalize on their combined effects. it may not make a huge difference with the glucophage XR though. I think the activity period is almost a full 24 hours, and I'm not sure if there is really any type of peak....just gradual, level activity throughout.

Exogenous GH certainly does inhibit endogenous GH release. the negative ffedback is fueled by GH itself, but primarily the subsequent IGF-1 back on the hypothalamus to induce expression of somatostatin. However, since GH is released in a pulsatile manner about every 4 hours (roughly), timing your injections becomes crucial. The GH releases of largest quantity are during phase IV sleep, so this is the endogenous pulse we'd most like NOT to inhibit. Granville has stated that nightime GH administration has the potential to not only suppress GH on the short term, but also suppress GH on the long term. I have nothing to dispute that with, as I've never seen anything published where timing of GH administration was a variable. he also has no vested interest in making this up, so I believe him. I couldn't explain why this would be so, but in any event, I think the earlier in the day, the better anyway.

RVZ,

Many years ago when I was young and probably more outgoing I had quite a few papers published in the Lancet, but found it was just a platform to put your head on so that someone with a different view can try to chop you down. From there on I went free-lance and now do the research for other people, if they want to publish the results thats up to them, it has been documented elsewhere that exogenous introduction of growth inhibits ones own production, the way I look at it is that the human body is basically lazy and if there is an external source of a hormone, the receptive areas transfer the information and the relevant organ stops production, thats why there would appear to be such a high incidence of diabetes, with the high intake of high glycemic foods the body just gets used to pulsing insulin on a regular basis and inevitabely gets lazy and produces insulin too regularly because the pancreas has been weakened sometimes beyond repair.
As einstein kindly pointed out growth has a very short half life, and I have seen no incidence of supression problems if growth is introduced during the bodies own "low" production times. With experiments on rats if you give them the equivalent of 4ius of growth at night, the total circulating during the night period is 4ius, indicating NO production of growth from their own organs, this probably does no damage short term, but rats given a large exogenous dose of growth at night for more than a month re-programme their own bodies to cope with the situation, and stop or greatly lower their own nightly production even when the exogenous dose is stopped. I have seen several incidences of well known footballers who have shut down their own growth production because of nightly exogenous shots to help heal muscle/tendon damage, as I have mentioned in a different thread, it has been so bad that the clinic where I research forbid any p.m. growth introductions. There are mountains of un-published work on this subject, the clinic has me researching just so they are covered against litigation, the results are for them, and as is common in the commercial world, many institututions don't release information as they feel it will help the competition. This doesn't help the world in general, but thats one of the results of greed. sorry I digress, from the extensive long term research I have done on rats, and from what I have seen with treated "subjects" it is 100% confirmed that long term exogenous introduction of growth at night, WILL in every case limit or completely shut down the subjects own nightly pulse of growth. I am taking this one stage further, I have for a long time thought that old people sleep during the day in the bodies attempt to replicate the larger pulse of growth produced at night, during the day also, if they are given 1iu of growth in the morning they dont nap during the day, same thing at night and they still take naps. Being honest one of the beneficial sides of long term growth for me is that I dont react quickly to critisism and enjoy debating, so keep it coming lol

No criticism from me. I'm just a 21 year old pre-med college student-athlete trying to obtain as much information as possible to obtain maximum results with minimal long-term effects and also to increase my knowledge because training the human body is a fascination of mine. AM injections it is for me.

No problem Bro, asking is the quickest way to learn, have fun with your growth experiments
