| | It is a question that has spawned much controversy within the ranks of physicians, with many leading doctors on both sides of the issue. | | | There is no other single therapy currently available that can have the impact on aging that HGH can have. | | | That is, by natural means, the body can be stimulated to produce and release its own HGH, increasing levels to those of a youthful, vital person. |

| | Dr Rosenbaum on Human Growth Hormone |
| | The skin and underlying connective tissue become thinner, bones and muscles lose their mass, internal organs shrink, and immune response declines – paving the way for the degenerative diseases of aging. | | | Given these facts, it is easy to comprehend why people who are sleep-deprived experience a decline in immune response, strength, cognitive levels, and overall sense of well-being. | | | Rudman observed that the study group were 10 to 20 years younger in terms of biological age and that “...the overall deterioration of the body that comes with growing old, is not inevitable.” |

| | This hypothesis is supported in part by the overlap in neurological deficits observed in humans associated with PCB exposure and those deficits observed in the offspring to hypothyroxinemic women (36,41,102,103). | | | Based on the authors' research focusing on the ability of polychlorinated biphenyls to alter the expression of thyroid hormone-responsive genes in the developing brain, this review provides background information supporting a new way of approaching risk analysis of thyroid disruptors. | | | For example, PCB exposure induces hearing loss in rats (109) that is similar to that observed in hypothyroid rats (112). |
