HGH Side Effects and Dangers of Human Growth Hormone?

Talk by some of the supposed dangers of human growth hormone (HGH) has resurfaced. Such talk may frighten people into thinking that HGH is a dangerous drug, when it is a wonderful hormone that keeps us young and vibrant. Young people are more healthy than elderly people mainly because they have an adequate supply of human growth hormone and other hormones.

When speaking of side effects I believe that some people may not understand there is a difference in the human growth hormone made naturally by the body and the synthetic HGH injections, which are a synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and can cause side effects.

I consider this unfortunate because in aging adults more youthful amounts of the body's own human growth hormone have been shown to delay and even reverse many of the effects of aging, as well as improve health conditions.

Possible Side Effects of HGH Injections

Injecting ones self with synthetic human growth hormone can cause side effects and that is why the injections should only be taken as a last resort and should only be used on the advice and management of a qualified physician. Those who treat themselves and young people who already have an optimum supply of growth hormone are at high risk for side effects.

One possible side effect of taking the HGH injections is the patient's pituitary gland becoming lazy. The injections provide the body with a full dose of human growth hormone so the pituitary gland will not need to release its own real HGH. Once a person is on the injections it can be hard to get off.

Also, if the injections are stopped abruptly the person may experience a "rebound effect" in which he loses the benefits he had gained and more. This is a result of the body being left without enough HGH, since the pituitary gland will have become lazy.

Other side effects include:

Acromegaly
Fluid retention
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Painful joints
Gynecomastia (enlarged breasts in males)
Liver damage

Acromegaly is a dangerous disease with increased incidence of heart attack and death. Acromegaly causes an unnatural overgrowth of bone in the extremities, forehead, and jaw, as well as other symptoms.

In Dr. Rudman's study the anti-aging and health and fitness benefits were extensive but there were also side effects due to the large doses he used. Those who pump themselves with massive doses of the injections risk this same fate.

Concerns About Cancer

There are also concerns that HGH injections may increase the risk of cancer, since hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with certain other synthetic hormones has been found to increase the risk of cancer in some studies.

Taking homeopathic human growth hormone and supplements to help the pituitary gland release more of its own human growth hormone has not been shown to increase the risk of cancer. In fact, it is believed that the real HGH made by the body actually provides a defense against cancer by increasing the cancer fighting cells and strengthening the immune system.
