Okay, growth hormone is impressive, no doubt about it. Here are some of the things that carefully conducted medical studies-most of them conducted in the six years since Dr. Daniel Rudman opened Pandora's box-have shown it can do:
● Increases muscle
● Decreases fat
● Increases skin thickness
● Smoothes out skin wrinkles
● Improves exercise tolerance
● Reverses heart failure
● Improves pulmonary function in people with chronic lung disorders
● Increases restorative REM sleep
● Increases energy and endurance
● Protects mental function and appears to help in the treatment of neurological and mental disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and multiple sclerosis
● Enhances mental alertness and memory
● Increases the size of the thymus, the body's principal immune system gland
● Increases natural killer cell lymphocyte activity, a measure of immune system function
● Greatly increases longevity in animal studies
● Causes weight gain in frail elderly
● Causes some regrowth and regeneration of organs (liver, kidneys, and spleen) that have shrunk with age
● Normalizes serum cholesterol levels
● Causes hair and nails to improve in strength and appearance
● Speeds healing after surgery and trauma
● Greatly improves the quality of life in AIDS patients
These are the effects of this natural hormone given to people at doses calculated to replace age-related deficiency and maintain the body's supply at levels normally present during young adulthood. The quantities used are extraordinarily minute. A year's supply of growth hormone in concentrated form would be smaller than an average vitamin C tablet.
Growth hormone may not be as explosive as enriched uranium, but its potency within the human body is, I dare say, fully appropriate to the nuclear age
