In a lot of situations the side effects of a therapy are more obvious than the effects that were actually intended. This is often the situation with side effects of Growth Hormone therapy. When the phrase Growth Hormone therapy is discussed most will immediately think of injections. This method of treatment was originally developed in response to medical conditions connected to a deficient level of HGH in the body.
Individuals with HGH deficiencies can have a wide range of health consequences. Kids most often suffer developmental delays and drastically short height. More health consequences that can be seen in both kids and grown ups with deficiencies include: decrease in lean muscle mass, elevation in body fat, weight gain, decrease in energy, etc.
Growth Hormone therapy administered in an appropriate fashion in response to an accurate diagnosis can relieve all the listed symptoms. It not only relieves the symptoms associated with the deficiency, but it also offers an array of other benefits. These additional benefits can even elevate the health of basically healthy individuals. Hormone imbalances do not need to be in evidence for individuals to benefit from some of the most common effects of therapy: elevation in restfulness of sleep, elevation in lean muscle mass, decrease in body fat, elevation of skin and bone health, elevation of cardiac health, and more.
These benefits draw more and more to the treatment that was originally intended strictly for deficient HGH levels. What the individuals drawn to treatment don't know (or, in some instances, don't care) is that the side effects of Growth Hormone therapy can be far more drastic than the benefits when it is used inappropriately.
Potential side effects could include:
- Acromegaly
- Excessive water retention
- Abnormal organ growth
- Decreased natural production of Human Growth Hormone; users are stuck using for life
- Damage to the liver and/or thyroid
- Premature death
The possible side effects can be very extreme. And while the benefits are wonderful...they can't really compete with the possibility of a premature death. Horrific alongside wonderful will trump it every time. So even though many are drawn to the treatment for the possible benefits, the smart individuals do not attempt to access it without the appropriate doctor's guidance in response to an accurate deficiency diagnosis.
But these smart individuals don't have to miss out on the benefits of HGH therapy. They can still access all the benefits through homeopathic HGH formulas. They don't need the injections. The homeopathic version of therapy comes with no known side effects. That's safe, effective and smart.
