I could not agree with Dr. Perls more re: the use of HgH therapy for 'anti'aging' purposes or 'body buiding use'. That should be made illegal and stopped n its tracks. However, Dr. Perls is adamantly against the use of HgH except for the documented use of stunted growth or HIV/AIDS wasting syndrome. There is however, a number of people who have true adult growth hormone deficiency syndrome, and replacement of this hormone is crucial to improving their health and quality of life. I know personaly several people, one with severe status asthmaticus, that has become virtually symptom free with HgH 'THERAPEUTIC dosage" use, not at the dosages that atheletes and anti aging clinics use. Instead of being so staunchly anti HgH, Dr. Perls should also look at the positive side of true adult HgH deficiency. It is extremely beneficial in a select group of people.
