HGH stands for human growth hormone which is a large
molecule consisting of 191 amino acids. It was discovered this far
back as the 1920's and began to take on interest in the scientific
community in 1958 when a pioneering endocrinologist first injected
HGH into a stunted child which produced no growth hormone. At first
HGH was obtained by extracting it from the cadavers of thousands
of brains from dead animals from the pituitary gland and only yielded
a few drops. Soon there was not enough supply all the children that
so desperately needed it. Three children developed mad cow disease
and then later a total of seven children developed mad cow disease
of the 5000. The FDA ordered it banned in 1991. The only solution
was to produce this large molecule from scratch which would be a
momentous task but was possible because of the emerging new science
of gene splicing which meant they clonal proteins which make up
the human body. By 1985 a company by the name of Genentech managed
to accomplish this feat and did not have a problem classifying it
as a drug because they created it one amino acid short of the 191
amino acids that would make a identical to HGH in the human body.
A company by the name of Eli Lilly took advantage of this fact and
manage to create the HGH molecule with the full 191 amino acids
which meant that it was a hundred percent identical to HGH in the
human body even though it was produced synthetically. Almost all
the other hormones that are manufactured today and promoted by medical
doctors are far from identical to the human body's hormones. These
hormones are often called synthetic hormones because they are so
far from identical to the human body and it is this fact that allows
them to get a patent and make large money on the particular drug
hormone. Hormones that are identical to our human body can be produced
today and are known as bio-identical hormones. The drug companies
cannot get patent on bio identical hormones and therefore these
hormones are very inexpensive and have been shown to be anti carcinogenic
in various clinical trials as opposed to the synthetic hormones
which have been shown to cause cancer. This is not the case with
synthetically produced HGH which is 100 percent identical to the
HGH of our human body and therefore very safe when administered
properly or and very small amounts.
