My thoughts:
The mainstream medical orthodoxy is constantly buzzing about the increased risk of cancer, diabetes, etc with hormone supplementation, but here is why it doesn't make sense. When are a normal, healthy person's hormones at their very highest? Teenage years to early twenties. So if these high levels of hormones cause cancer and all these other diseases why are they no so prevalent in teenagers who all have peaked hormone levels? Hmmmm.
As for thing not being approved by the FDA. The last entity on the planet I would trust my health and well-being to is the corrupt, self-serving A-holes of the FDA. Failure, Deception, Abuse is what it should stand for.
As for HGH causing the liver cancer that killed that woman, pfft. What an obviously agenda-based opinion. What was her diet like? What other medication was she on? Saying that because she was on HGH and had cancer is like saying fire trucks cause fires. Correlation does not equal causation.
And good for the anti-aging doctors who are making tons of money. You know why people are turning to them? It's because we are sick of being treated like idiots who don't know anything about our own health. We are sick of being fed drugs, which ARE toxic, to treat symptoms without much effort at diagnosis the problem. We are sick of doctors who cater to pharmaceutical companies and insurance policies instead of patients. We are sick of having constantly rising cost for medical treatment and constantly declining quality of care. Modern medicine one of the biggest killers in this country. And doctors like the one that wrote this article are the reason why. But I guess if I had spent $100k on medical school and had lots of letters after my name and degrees on the wall, I too would be upset if someone less "certified" than me was doing something I didn't agree with and actually making people feel better.
John Crisler is an anti-aging doctor and I've listened to interviews with him. I'd wager that he knows more about the human endocrine systems than 90% of practicing endocrinologists. If anyone wants some good info, he has some papers published on his website
All Things Male - Center for Men's Health
Anyway, off the soapbox. People like that just piss me off.
