Just to clarify on the dosing, his dosing was into the knee capsule where the HGH stays for an extended period, not systemic. Injecting systemically would not reach anywhere near that amount for the joint tissues themselves. And it would also make sense that if the knee capsule can retain the HGH inside, it might also keep systemically circulating HGH out to a large degree. Hence his dosing is likely astronomically higher than anything that could be achieved directly to the knee (or other joint) tissues when injecting systemically the way the anti-aging protocols do. He's basically trying to induce local acromegaly. The interview is a fairly quick listen so I would check it out in case I am remembering a dosage wrong, however since the dose stays in the joint, the risk of systemic overdose seem low even if you over-did it.I go every 6 months to get inter-articular injections in the left knee. That seems relatively easy to do. I tried the same hyaluronic injections in the shoulder and they had to use the ultrasound guided method. Pretty complicated.
I did find this out about prescribing HGH:
In 1988 and 1990, FDA amended the Food, Drugs, and Cosmetic Act after researchers revealed an unforced law that physicians and entrepreneurs were exploiting. As a result, a provision was put so that HGH can be prescribed only for three conditions:
I have tried several different times to get a prescription for HGH and doctors don't even want to discuss it. No doubt even if you could talk a doctor into it, insurance would not cover it. Doctor seem to be scared of discussing this one. I am glad you mentioned the dosing he suggested. 10-15 iu/wk = about 2iu/d. Which is about what most use for life extension. I did 4iu/d for a few years and as I mentioned had no results. But then it has gotten a lot worse since I stopped the HGH. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. Yes I got a cortisone shot maybe 4 weeks ago and this time it did nothing to help. I got 3 injections last year (every 4 months) and 1 this year so far. The hyaluronic injections in the shoulder did nothing but in the knee it is great.
- HGH deficiency in children might result in dwarfism
- Adult HGH deficiency due to tumors in the brain and their treatment like radiation therapy
- Muscle wasting illness related to HIV/AIDS
I am thinking about getting 3 kits of HGH and doing 2iu microdoses in the shoulder and seeing if that has any effect. I did a similar technique after knee surgery with GH/IGF-1/MGF a few years back and it increased healing greatly.
