    Doctor - GH honesty

    Does anyone know if you let your doctor know that your taking GH, if you had to make a claim on your insurance plan in the future, could the insurance company find out you were taking an "illegal substance," and cause problems?

    Thanks,

    Jared

    I view doctors the same as the police. You dont tell them anything they dont need to know. That is just my position and personal opinion however...but I think I understand your concerns

    Since when did HGH become an illegal substance. HGH is not illegal. Perhaps the means in which you obtained it is illegal but pretty much anybody that can afford $20+/iu can go to an anti-aging doc and get a script. Now, on the other hand, much of the AAS is another story but we shouldn't confuse the two.

    I think it's important we don't perpetuate the stigma that HGH is a dangerous illegal steroid .

    I truly hope I see the day come where the mainstream public will get to see the tremendous medicinal value that HGH can provide it's aging population.

    Congress, MLB and the media have it pretty ingrained into the folks by now sadly

    Good call,

    I like the "off the record" idea.

    However, I feel like most doctors are clueless about GH in any application outside of stunted growth in children.

    Not sure if by them knowing your on it, they would be able to asses you more accurately.

    Thanks,

    If you are looking for better assistance ask the doctor to cheak your igf levels that will give you a guide to see if you need to up the dose but if you want him to guide you and monitor you good luck
