HGH Antibody Table

[cold1]

I saw this table over at PM, and was wondering if anyone else had seen this?
If so is it B.S., accurate, where did it come from? I find some of these numbers pretty hard to believe.


TABLE: Rate of antibody formation for different brands of hGH

Sounds like a load of crap to me. Ive been using 192 aa HGH and never had any reactions that would lead me to think I am developing antibodies. Many other use the same HGH and ive never heard of anyone having troubles. Something like that would be terribly hard to run a test on humans, considering all of the brands and the size of the population needed.

I don't really understand what this chart means, but I know I am on GH and I just got my thyroid tested and I have a level of 2972 in Thyroid Antibodies and it is supposed to be below 40. Does GH have antibodies also?

Yeah, there can be antibodies built up against just about anything I think. I remember your post about your thyroid. You should start another post and let us know how that went, I for one would like to know.

I have an endocrinology appt. on March 7 so I will let you know what the doc says.

Thanks. Your problem might affect others too and they would like to know.

I've had thyroid anti-bodies for about 6 years. I wouldn't worry. but if the doc is thinking meds for you i would let them know you are on gh. That could effect your readings. My dr told me its nothing to worry about get it checked once a year.

The thing is, I think mine was effected after I had my daughter because I've had these symptoms (nervousness, extreme heat sensitivity, not being able to sleep at night) of an overactive thyroid since before I started GH. GH may have made it worse though. They say this condition affects women during childbearing years 20-40 and I've been told that pregnancy can cause a "thyroid storm". So, we'll see I am going to tell the doc I am on GH, I just really don't feel like hearing the lecture!

I noticed that while most doctors will prescribe a drug that just came out, they will also downplay hgh and its positive effects. my old doctor had nothing nice to say about it which is surprising considering all of the upside. I would be reluctant to say something nice about anything that could put half of my profession out of business too i guess.
