GH and cancer

[palumbus1217]

From what I have been reading time and time again on these forums is that if somebody is diagnosed with a cancerous tumor the GH will make it grow correct? My main questions is does the use of GH for extended periods of time actually cause cancer? Reason I ask is cause down the road i am looking into it not at an outragous dose or anything, but my grandmother died at 66 from lung cancer, and then my mother died at 54 from the same thing. Does anybody know how cancer is inherited meaning from the mothers side or the father? My grandparents on my fathers side(both 87 yrs old), along with my father(who is now 54) too, seems extremely healthy. The only ting on my fathers side as of now is that my grandfather has glacoma(sp) and is partially blind or blind in one eye. Any input would be great or if anyone could provide with with research or studies that have been documented thatd be even better...thanks

Sorry to hear about your losses. Your question is very ambiguous; there are many types of cancers and their physiology all differ in one way or another. Tumors lack the signalling, or ignore the signalling that they should stop proliferating. When healthy cells touch another cell, it is instantly told to stop multiplying. Cancerous cells create their own signalling/growth factors, etc. to bypass this. GH would probably aid in the tumors growth. I am unfamiliar with any literature or research papers that DIRECTLY link GH usage with causing cancer. BUT you must be aware of a couple of things. First, our own GH is superior to rHGH, and the body prefers its own. Also, high levels of igf for prolonged periods of time does have a link with cancer. High doses of rHGH cause elevated igf levels in a dose dependant manner. Bottom line here, IMO for hrt and increasing quality of life, 1 to 4 or 5iu a day or EOD is thoroughly safe. Higher doses are simply callous for extended periods of time.
Research peptides and learn all you can about these things before starting a protocol.

Thanks for the inpUt man I appreciate it. I am more intrigued by the leaning effects than the muscle building properties of gh anyway.
