: Don't you have to be at least forty to do this? I thought there was some kind of law about it.
The drug is approved, and a *doctor* may use a drug for any purpose
other than what it is approve for. That's the
secret of it being legal. This company only sells
with a prescription, but they will get you a prescription
if you dont have one.
As to age, the big news is using HGH by elderly people.
The New England Journal of Medicine ran the
results of a study in 1990 that showed elderly
persons using HGH seemed to go back 10-20 years.
Most of all, the study showed that HGH turns fat into
lean muscle, dramaticly, even with out excersise, and
very dramaticly changes a lot of fat into muscle
if you do exercise. It was this effect that resulted in
the FDA to reciently approve the use of HGH for AIDS
patients to help with the problem of waisting. Again,
use of HGH dramaticly puts on lean muscle mass.
By the way, I understand that because its a natural
body hormone, there is no way to test for it, and even the
Olympics officials don't even try.
:
: : OK Here's the skinny on Human Growth Hormone.
: : First: It's very expensive.
: : A regular One years supply is $7500.00
: : One years supply is 300 International Units (This company claims their vials
: : are actually overfilled to 324 International Units at no extra charge.
: : Minimum order is 10 vials at $2999.00.
: : They have two sizes of vials and you get either 10x12.96 IU vials or 25x4.86
: : IU vials, their choice depending on what they have in stock.
: : They require a prescription. If you don't have one, they will get one for
: : you @ $280 First time evaluation Fee when you return their questioner, and
: : $45 follow up evaluation fee when you send your blood test results. In
: : between they will send you an authorization for a blood test which you take
: : to a local lab to have done.
: : Shipping and handling by FEDEX is $75
: : It must be by fedex because HGH must be refrigerated in shipping.
: : The whole thing seems to be very legitimate, with a doctors prescription and
: : all, and seems to be made in accordance with the FDA personal use importing
: : rule.
: : It better be, because at that price, you can't afford to loose a shipment to
: : customs.
: : They claim to have the second in charge (now retired) of the DEA on their
: : staff and can insure that there are no chances of screw ups. They also
: : claim to be the worlds largest supplier of HGH in the world, and that they
: : send only first class product from leading drug companies.
: : In any event, they will tell you all this and more. They insist on a
: : procedure for us to send them a customers name and address, and they will
: : then send that person all the information direct, and all future dealing
: : will be between them and the customer. They will reimburse us for the costs
: : including faxing.
: : They claim this is necessary since FDA rules prevent them from dealing with
: : a supplier, and that they must deal directly with the customer. They claim
: : also that FDA rules prevent them from contacting a customer first, and that
: : it must be in response to a referral.
: : We have a buyers club for HIV suffers, and this is how all this started.
: : HGH is considered very valuable for wasting and other HIV symptoms. HIV
: : suffers can't get insurance to pay for HGH, and the cost in the US is so
: : high that hardly anyone can afford it.
: : If you think $7900 is a lot for a years supply---the drug companies charge
: : HIV patients about $73,000 for a years supply (although they recently agreed
: : to a cap of $39,000 a year for those who can't afford it and can prove it).
: : To make it worse, this stuff from Europe is the same thing, by the same
: : manufacture, purchased overseas and shipped to the US (just like some of the
: : drugs purchased from Mexico). The cost is a rip-off,either way, but if you
: : wan't it, it's the only way to get it, and be sure it's real. We understand
: : there is some Russian stuff out there, but its claimed to be made from
: : cadavers. B. Mougious in Greece was selling the Russian stuff, but the DEA
: : snuffed him. Our people already have AIDS so they probably could use it,and
: : some did order through Mougious, but we're not sure of the possibility of a
: : different strain of AIDS that might compound an already grim situation. This
: : company only sells recombinant HGH, so there is no risk.
: : So there you have it. We have checked all around, ant this seems like the
: : best deal, both concerning reputation and price.
: : If you want more information send us your name and mailing address
: : (snail-mail), we will fax it to them, and they will take it from there. Do
: : not try to order from us--we have nothing to sell. All future dealing will
: : be between you and them.
