Hi all, this message is for informational updates. I have been using GH for many years (about 14) and have loved it which is why I am writing this thread to users that may wish to know what can happen when dosing in higher amounts and for long periods. I typically used 10-14 iu's daily or with varying frequency for most of the initial years and over the last 4 have tapered to 5-7 iu daily for the benefits. To all who have used it, the benefits are obvious, but its what my physician has determined that you should understand. I am only 51 and look and feel 31, however during a workout last year that was extremely intense, I fell to the ground at the gym - dead. No heartbeat and no oxygen in my blood. I awoke three days later from the induced coma to find that paramedics were able to restart my heart and the nurses and docs in ICU were all telling me I was lucky to be alive. During the next two weeks at the hospital a team of cardio docs ran every test conceivable to determine what happened and the final diagnosis was an extremely enlarged heart that was inline with the growth of other internal organs, and this caused the valves to "leak" and fill my lungs with fluid, cutting the oxygen intake and also severely weakening the heart muscle which lead to the failure at the gym. The doctors had no reason available except to conclude that the HGH was the sole and proximate cause of the enlargement since most of the organs had grown also giving me the "roid gut" appearance as well. The doctors say that the growth is not mitigatable - i.e. fixable and is permanent. My heart function will always be at or below 10 percent of normal and could cause failure at any time due to its weakened condition. I have spent the last year doing extensive research with the medical community and have found that GH does in fact cause some permanent changes such as abnormal tissue growth in certain types of tissue other than skeletal muscle and skin. I have also discovered that the relatively high doses used were a strong contributor in the organ growth I experienced. I wanted to alert you as fellow bodybuilders to use this stuff carefully and have yearly checkups with EKG's to determine if you are potentially at risk from the abnormal growth issue. I have to live with the potential of a transplant or untimely death as a result of not doing better due diligence in determining how to use this and moreover - how to determine if it was doing harm. Beauty is only skin deep, the damage goes much deeper!
