Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 I recommend anyone looking for a doctor or information on Growth Hormone visit the website www.cenegenics.com. They are located in Las Vegas and have given me the best advice on this subject of anyone. If anyone knows how to add it to our Bookmarks, I think it would be useful. I don't know how to add a Bookmark. My primary care has been treating me off the information Cenegenics prescribed when I went to their clinic. It's pricey, but you will get about three hours 1:1 with a very well educated MD. Alot of us have had trouble finding a primary care, endocrinologist, or urologist who is educated on hypogonadism. I think you will find from the Cenegenics website that almost every male will eventually experince hypogonadism as they age (at least relative to the levels they had as youth). The Cenegenics doctors are specialists in aging and hormone " modulation " which includes testosterone replacement (or HCG), growth hormone, etc. I will be going back for another visit to discuss Growth Hormone now that my T is regulated better with HCG. It will cost you about $1,000 - $2,000 for a visit, plus expenses, but Las Vegas is a pretty good place to visit and the cost of hotel rooms is reasonable. They may also treat some patients over the phone if travel expenses are a big issue. Or, you can keep hunting for an MD. I couldn't wait any longer and I wasn't getting anywhere until I went to Cenegenics. This was before I found this website in March of this year. Sorry for being so long winded about this. Let me know what you think of the Cenegenics website. Seren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Great information. I had heard about this from one of the TV magazines.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Hi, Personally I'd hold off on the growth hormone until you do a lot of independent digging. We were in a similar situation for about 10 years. Our son was way underneath the growth chart for that long until he hit puberty. I almost dreaded every birthday because people will invariably ask how old he was, and there was always that shocked look when I answered. I read all the literature and found that growth hormone is indicated mostly when there has been a complete or near complete halt to growth. There is an organization called Magic(?) that sent me a lot of material along with a growth chart and it was clear that the foundation was financed by the manufacturer of growth hormone. Finally it became clear that there was some underlying problem that needed to be found. I mean, something serious enough to make a child stop growing shouldn't be left undiscovered. An 8 week study is not long enough to discover any long term problems associated with giving a powerful hormone to a small child. There were long term problems with the earliest administration to children. That only came to light after hearing a scientist speak at a seminar that was not about autism. There are a lot of reasons why a child might stop growing. >Message: 15 > Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2004 02:48:39 -0000 > From: " lizfiordalisi " <cfiordalisi@...> >Subject: Andy- where can I find info on mercury affecting growth? > >Andy- >I have a 3 3/4 year old son with autism who also is a candidate for >growth hormone supplementation (a bone age x-ray at 3 years old >revealed the bones of a 1 1/2 year old).

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Zinc deficiency is frequently a problem. Supplementation with chelated zinc can produce some very positive results.
