HGH: Benefits and Risks

by Dr. Mandill E. Kim


   Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is touted by many as mankind's best bet for long life and optimum health. Once strictly regulated, HGH is now added to a variety of products from school lunches to house paint. As is always true, however, the benefits of a substance such as HGH also come with certain risks. Let's take a look at some of the claims for this product, as well as their possible side-effects.

*** Benefit- Melts Fat: Proponents claim that HGH leads to safe and rapid weight loss.
       Risk- Pools of melted body fat re-form as small children who follow you home demanding more fat and Kool-Aid.

*** Benefit- Thicker, Softer Hair: Users believe HGH improves both quality and quantity of hair.
       Risk- Occasional scalp eruption of spider babies. This has been reported as the number one job interview turn-off by many employers.

*** Benefit- Improved Memory: HGH proponents claim to have sharper memories and more acute thinking.
       Risk- Reported side-effects include bi-lingual diarrhea, pubic weevils, and nervous aroma.

*** Benefit- Increased Muscle Mass: Body builders and weightlifters have been longtime users of HGH.
       Risk- Suddenly stopping HGH use can lead to ringing in the ears and colon, along with a condition know as "hobo abs".
