Age REVERSING Miracle? 

All-natural, Anti-aging substance has been clinically-documented to REVERSE aging by as much as 20 years, within as little as 6 months of use!

In case you’re not up to speed on the matter, age reversal is now a reality. In what follows, we will use an interview format in order to let Dr. Richard J. Marsh, M.D. (M.A., B.M., B. Ch., Oxon., MRCGP, Churchill Fellow) give you some of the background and details behind Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and an all-natural precursor
(PHGH), which seems to hold so much promise for those of us who are over the age of 45..

Dr. Marsh received his M.D. from Oxford University in England; he also has a degree in physiology. He is a board-certified practitioner. His practice is in general surgery, dermatology, general medicine and anesthesiology. He did all of that prior to going into family practice. He’s been a medical advisor to Wyeth Laboratories, implementing the research and the treatment of arthritis. Dr. Marsh has also been a consultant to several international clinics and hospitals. In 1991, Dr. Marsh was awarded the prestigious Churchill Fellowship.

Dr. Marsh, can you give us your view on the aging process?

Well, the aging process is a
fascinating thing, and a lot of study has
been carried out on that in the last
couple of decades. I would say that up
until about 20-30 years ago everyone
would have considered aging to be an
inevitable process. During the 50’s
there was a Russian physician named
Dr. Dilman who did a lot of research on
aging, and who came up with the novel
idea that we have an internal body clock
that is slowly running down. He
suggested that this clock was situated in
a part of the brain called the
hypothalamus, which is related to the
pituitary gland, and that through the
hormonal system all the systems of the
body were set to run down slowly during
the course of our lifetime. Other
scientists have followed up on this idea
and have researched the mechanisms,
and we now know a lot more about the
aging process than when Dr. Dilman
began his first work and propositions.
And it’s this subsequent work which has
really added to the development of the
product that we’re going to be
discussing.

I think perhaps I had better
explain that, working on from what the
Russian doctor had discovered, some of
these scientists began to investigate the
mechanism of the body clock in terms of
hormonal control. And what they
eventually began to realize was that the
Human Growth Hormone [HGH-Ed.],
Which is released from the pituitary
gland in the brain, is the key or the
“mastermind”, if you like, to all of the cell
functions in the body. This hormone
which is released, and which is changed
in the liver to a thing called Insulin-like
Growth Factor-l [IGF-1--Ed.],
masterminds the production of protein,
the healing mechanisms and the growth
mechanisms of virtually every cell in the
body. That is the key to where aging
comes in. With age, it’s been found
that the release of Human Growth
Hormone from the pituitary gland is
reduced. If you actually look at older
people you’ll find that the percentage
release drops from age 21. Now as you
know, we all have a growth spurt during
adolescence and we reach our adult
height. Thus, it’s considered that, at the
age of 21, you’re probably secreting the
maximum growth hormone that you
should be expect to be secreting.
As you grow older, there is a fall-off
in the release of the actual hormone.
It’s still produced in the brain, but it’s
not actually released. And it’s said
that there is about a 14% reduction in
release of the hormone every 10 years.
So, if you reach the age of 60, for
example, your Human Growth Hormone
production and release may be only
30% of what it was when you were an
adolescent. And along with that comes
the aging process. People who age
early have a lower growth hormone level
on average. That’s what has been
discovered.

The whole concept of aging as
an inevitable event really is not as cut-and-
dried as we used to think it was.
From now on, we really must consider
that aging is not actually inevitable. It
doesn’t actually have to happen. It is
now possible to intervene and to reverse
some of the effects of aging.

Once your pituitary gland allows the secretion of your own HGH, what might one expect to see as a result of the reversing of this aging process? 

This is probably best illustrated
in one of several scientific papers that
were really quite landmarks in this field.
And I’d just like to mention briefly that
perhaps one of the most important and
prestigious papers that we have for this
evidence was written in 1990 by the late
Dr. Daniel Rudman [published in the
New England Journal of
Medicine--Ed.]. Now Dr. Rudman had
surmised that the secret of aging, or the
problem that we had with age,
happened to be the level of Human
Growth Hormone (which is measured in
the body indirectly by measuring Insulin-like
Growth Factor-l). And so what he
decided to do was to test the
hypothesis.
By this time, the drug companies
had begun to develop the genetically-engineered
Human Growth Hormone,
particularly for medical treatment of
dwarfs. And Dr. Rudman had the
inspired idea of using it on grown adults.
So what he did was to take a group of
men between the ages of 61 and 81, all
of whom were considered to be healthy.
They were not particularly obese; they
were within about 10-20% of the norm
for their age. And he separated them
into two groups. One group of these
men he gave Human Growth Hormone
by injection, the other group he used as
controls. Then, after 6 months, he
observed the difference.

The interesting thing is that when
he came to do the measurements again,
he found some very significant, startling
changes. In the group he treated with
growth hormone, he noted that their
lean body mass-that is, the mass of
their vital organs, like kidney, heart,
spleen, etc., and their muscle
mass-had increased by 8.8% on
average. Some of these were quite frail
men and they had bulked up. In other
words, their muscles were growing
stronger and their organs had actually
physically strengthened and increased
in size. But at the same time, he
noticed that their fat had on the
whole reduced by about 14.4%.
So, in other words, they were
building up muscle and reducing the
fat. The patients involved actually
began to notice the slimming of fat from
the waistline. You know how when
everyone gets middle-aged they have a
problem with getting off those extra
pounds that they put on the waist. Well,
I’ve got a secret... the-reason for this is
because of the fall-off of Human Growth
Hormone.

For years, there’s been a
slimming industry in which people have
struggled to reduce those pounds, but
now we’re finding that it’s basically that
our body is starting to age and the
hormone system is allowing this to
happen. Dr. Rudman’s work began to
show that by administering Human
Growth Hormone it could be reversed.
Now, it must be said that, at the
end of his study, as a result of
measuring things like the blood
pressure, the cholesterol, the fat,
fitness, the skin elasticity and thickness,
etc., he came to the conclusion that his
treatment of these men was beginning
to reverse their age criteria by 10 to
20 years, and that was remarkable...
Are you saying the aging process
cannot only be slowed down, but can
in fact be reversed in some cases?
That’s right. For the first time,
people have begun to realize that aging
is a reversible process. And I think the
concept is changing from that of aging
being a natural slowing down of the
body, to aging actually being a disease.
Now, I should repeat that -because
this takes some believing-l couldn’t
believe this at first, either. But basically,
aging is not so much a natural
process.. it’s more of a disease. And if
it is that, then the scientist argues, “Well,
why shouldn’t I be able to treat it?” And,
of course, Dr. Rudman’s work is
beginning to show that this is true.

Can people literally reverse up to twenty years in as little as six months of therapy?

Once again, according to the
findings of Dr. Rudman, the
results were startling, to say the least.
Working with volunteers aged 61-81 at
the Medical College of Wisconsin-Milwaukee,
Dr. Rudman used
synthetically manufactured HGH to
replicate what is created naturally in the
body’s own pituitary gland. The initial
observed results: six months of
injections reversed the aging process
from 10 to 20 years in the patients
who received HGH. In the controlled
group that didn’t receive HGH, the
normal aging process continued. Since
Dr. Rudman’s initial findings, thousands
of additional studies have supported the
fact that HGH can and does not only
retard aging, but also reverses the
process as well.

Another interesting observation
regarding Dr. Rudman’s study is,
despite the fact that those people did
not alter their diet, their exercise, or
their smoking habits, all of those who
were give the Human Growth
Hormone gained an average of 8.8%
in lean muscle mass while at the
same time losing 14% of their body
fat. This is a tremendous change in
people that have not made those
lifestyle changes.
Yes, I understand that for some
of those people they didn’t actually lose
weight. The secret was not in losing
weight, it’s not a diet treatment. The
secret was in the weight distribution;
there was a change in the balance of fat
to lean body mass, or muscle, and that
is what you require, because the laying
down of fat is not a good thing in the
way that it happens in middle age, etc.
And, incidentally, this product is
probably going to be as effective in
maintaining good health in the younger
age groups for whom the middle-age
spread is yet to come. And, I would
anticipate that it will be very useful for
people like athletes-perhaps in
maintaining performance, etc.
clinical

Doctor, once again, how long does a person have to take GH before they’ll begin to see or feel the results?

Well, the blood testing by the
scientists indicated that there’s a pretty
immediate sort of two to three day
response in blood levels, but the person
themselves may not experience
anything or notice any significant
changes for maybe some days, or
maybe some weeks. It’s a product
which is taken on a cyclical basis, that is
to say, there’s a special way that it is
taken to make sure that your own
pituitary gland doesn’t get lazy. And
that is also to insure the effect of the
release of the hormone is as natural as
possible. Normally, growth hormone is
released in spurts at night and
particularly in early sleep, what’s called
the “rapid eye movement” or the REM
phase of sleep. So, ideally, it’s best to
take GH at night but, in any event, it
should be taken no sooner than four
hours after a meal. So if a person tends
to eat later at night, then it may well be
of more advantage to take the GH in the
morning and then not have anything to
eat for two hours. Incidentally, exercise
helps to elevate naturally the level of
growth hormone. 

Would it be your professional opinion that GH is relatively safe for everyone to take?

Absolutely, absolutely.
What about a person who has
diabetes let’s say he’s on
insulin... could GH be a benefit to
him?
Yes, it could. In fact, I think a
definite benefit. I would, of course,
advise anyone with diabetes to take GH
under the guidance of their own
physician [Once again, it is our policy
here at BioTech News to encourage you
to give this information to your health
care professional and let him or her give
you an informed opinion regarding this
matter--Ed.] But the thing is, GH
works in such a way that it actually
improves overall sugar metabolism.
Some of the studies have shown that
with its use, the blood sugar
normalizes---it comes down normal
levels. One doctor I have spoken with
has noticed an initial rise in blood sugar
before it galls, however. But this is quite
manageable, providing it is taken under
the care of a doctor. This appears to be
a safe thing, because the reduction of
sugar, as I understand it, is not a rapid
effect. So, providing the blood sugar is
being closely monitored, and the
product is taken under the care of a
competent health professional, there
should be no problems.

Could GH be of benefit to people who have suffered, say, from a heart attack?

Yes, it could. Once again, they should
be under the guidance of their own
physician. But, you see, the thing about
GH is that it can work by strengthening
the power of the heart muscles just as it
strengthens all the other muscles in the
body. Also, if you do have a patient who
is suffering from, say, atherosclerosis-that
is, where cholesterol plaque is
beginning to block the artery walls-then
GH has been shown to lead to a
reduction in that damage. After all,
hardening of the arteries is one of the
side effects of aging and GH works by
reversing the effects of aging; thus, it
has been known to open the bore
[British term, approximately equivalent
to our usage of the work, “diameter”-Ed.]
of the arteries and improve blood
flow.

What about people who have suffered from other diseases, like cancer? 

As with any supplementation, it
is only prudent that the guidance of a
healthcare professional should be
sought by anyone suffering with cancer
or who is in a known “risk group” for the
disease. Some doctors are concerned
that GH may act as a growth promoter
and drive an existing tumor. However,
others have argued, the stimulating
effect on the immune system and
natural killer cells more than balances
any risk, and have observed that
cancers tend to occur with low IGF-1
levels. There has been a study which
indicated HGH injections improve the
survival and quality of life of children
undergoing radiotherapy and oblique
chemotherapy for brain tumors.

Dr. Edmund Chein, M.D.
[Director, Palm Springs Life Extension
Institute-Ed.] and Dr. L. Cass Terry,
M.D., Ph.D. [a neuro-endocrinologist
from the Department of Neurology at the
Medical College of Wisconsin -Ed.]
have studied over 800 patients and they
have not come up with any problems
with regard to people suffering from
cancer as a result of taking GH.
Incidentally, they are considering a case
where they noted a patient with prostate
cancer who had a significant
improvement once he went on Growth
Hormone therapy, and I understand that
they intend to write about this for
medical science. 

GH sounds “too good to be true’. Is there anything if doesn’t do? 

Do you know, I thought the same
thing. I thought, when I first started
reading about it, “This is too good to be
true”. But the fact is, that these
doctors.. and other studies have
shown.. that the measurements are as
they’ve said. And, some of these
patients report an days, if not within
GH. improvement within
weeks, of starting on
Dr. Marsh, in your professional
opinion, how could GH best be
summarized?

I would say it is one of the most
remarkable things to come along in
many years. It is almost too good to be
true and it does work in all the areas we
have touched on. For example, we
know definitely it restores muscle mass.
It improves the power and the bulk of
the muscles, it reduces fatigue, it
encourages energy and improves the
sense of well being. At the same time, it
tends to reduce the distribution of body
fat and sets you back, if you like, in life
to when you didn’t have that extra few
pounds around the waist. With regard
to skin, for example, it works to improve
the fitness and the strength and the
elasticity of the skin and, as a result, you
tend to lose the wrinkles. When it
comes to the hair, in the case of men, it
would appear that it’s able to help the
hair to regrow. It certainly changes the
color of hair. It restores the vitality and
the color of hair from the kind of drab
graying that occurs with age. When it
comes to sexual function, once again
there is an improvement. Not only is
this a physical improvement due to the
action of the product on the blood
system, but it is also an emotional and
energetic improvement. In other words,
it acts also as an aphrodisiac, raising
the libido and improving the quality of
sex.

When it comes to the heart and
blood system, we do know that it
improves the strength of the heart. It
helps to improve the flow of the blood in
the arteries because it appears to
reverse the effects of atherosclerosis.
In other words, where cholesterol is
being laid down as plaque in the artery
wall due to the aging process, indirectly
GH may well reverse the process, and I
would say that a few years ago many of
us as doctors would have thought that
would have been impossible. We
always accepted that hardening of the
arteries was an inevitable thing. Not
anymore, not with GH. You also find
with age, of course, that many of the
organs tend to shrink, like the pancreas,
the liver, and the heart, for example, and
these will be restored in terms of
strength and size. If you have any
effects upon the vision then you may
well expect to find that your vision is
restored in terms of the power.

For those of us who suffer from a
poor memory or poor sleep, again, it will
be of benefit and, when it comes to
blood pressure, we know that there’s a
normalizing of the blood pressure. And
finally, I think perhaps of most interest to
me, I know that it works directly on the
immune system, and that has to be a
good thing because the immune system
is the key to many, many diseases. If
the immune system works incorrectly in
one way, it causes degenerative
diseased, like arthritis. If it works
incorrectly in the other way and is
inadequate in its function then you tend
to get overwhelming viral infections and
the development of cancers, If you
strengthen the immune system, you’re
going to tackle degenerative disease;
you’re going to tackle the resistance to
infections, and bacteria and viruses and
you’re also going to be able to tackle the
problem of cancer indirectly.
