Question: Hello, I'm a 24 year old paraplegic. I became paraplegic at age 18. I've been under treatment for three years and now no medication. Due to lack of mobility I've gained weight. I was an athlete and used to be 63 kg, 5'11 height. Now I'll be around 110 kg. I'm sick of seeing myself in this position. Though I can't do anything about my spinal cord injury, I can walk with crutches and do all upper body exercise by sitting. I'm planning to get a home gym and start doing workout. I'm also planning to get a swimming pool.
I can walk with crutches as I use my hip and move my legs. I can walk 200 meters every day. And I'll swim for 30-45 mins a day and do home gym and weight lifting with bars and dumbbells and also bench press.
My best friend is a fitness trainer and has six years experience. He will guide me, and has a little bit of knowledge about HGH. He said he will try to contact a professional regarding this. So far we couldn't find one. There are bodybuilders he knows who took HGH, some said it's good and a few said it's risky for me and my heart as I'm paraplegic. I researched about HGH and saw no heart attack signs by using hgh.
I would appreciate if you guys would guide me regarding dosage UI/day and is it safe to take HGH as I'm paraplegic. I want a good physique.
Answer: Optimizing your HGH and growth factors may very well help you, however, as a registered nurse I must recommend you work with a good doctor if you are considering taking the HGH injections. I won't go into all the risk factors and side effects that may occur because you have probably already read about them in other places and here also. I will just say that the only safe way to take human growth hormone injections at your age is to follow the advice of a doctor who specializes in HGH therapy.
The doctor should closely monitor your serum IGF-1 level to make sure you don't get too much. This is very important because you are so young that you probably already have a good amount of growth hormone. Those who take the HGH injections when they already have enough endogenous growth hormone can cause damage to themselves. Young people taking the injections is sort of like walking a tightrope because the aim should be to take just enough to provide healing but not enough to cause serious side effects or shut down the body's own production of growth hormone.
In my opinion homeopathic HGH would be a safer option for you. Our own sprays have been providing great benefits for over 20 years and because the growth hormone is in homeopathic form, it won't cause you to get too much HGH or shut down your pituitary gland's own release of growth hormone.
