Could extreme HGH use promote tumor growth in users

[Howard]

A board cert endocrinlogist was quoted as saying he feared that the use of HGH by "hormone therapy" clinics and elite athletes coule give the users increased risks of tumors in various tissues.
He reasoned this was possible as unwanted growth of cells was the basic definition of cancer ( tumors).
I was watching Discovery Science and this topic came up on a health/medical show.
He went on to say that the slow down on natural HGH production as we age may be a natural defense against various forms of cancer.
Since HGH use can trigger cell growth and renewel , it might be an issue for the users?
Hard to say and he did admit the jury is still out on this one.

Sure, why not.  Have a drink!

hgh speeds up the growth of everything, hair, nails, tumors, cancer.  dont think it causes it but im not sure

Yes. Doom has spoken!

Higher doses can increase the spread & formation of tumors.

HGH is totally safe up to 30000000000 i.u. daily and SHOULD be accompanied by heavy steroid and insulin use.

This is even safe for children, and for everyone who does not believe me, "Little Hercules" is still alive, isn't he??

Yes, it can speed up the growth of any tumor. The very nature of HGH is to make the cells in the body grow faster, stronger, etc. However, this goes for all the cells in the body...not just cancerous cells, it includes the cells in the body that fight off wasting diseases. Of course in the end, one group will have more power then the other, but it's impossible to say which.

And as for HGH production decreasing as we age...it is not supposed to happen as fast as it happens with most people. Oxidation is what causes us to age, it's what causes our immune systems to falter and what leads to life threatening diseases. No human on earth can prevent oxidation completely, however at the rate in which it occurs in most is more then necessary and is the reason certain hormonal functions begin to decline and decline faster then what the body is designed to do. Poor diets, sedentary lifestyles, increased exposure to harmful pollutants all effect this.

The answer to your question is: Probably not  http://archives.cnn.com/2002/LAW/04/columns/fl.grossman.incest.04.09/

Arnold jr, thats a good answer.

No study has verified that GH IN REPLACEMENT DOSAGES have caused cancer.  It is a theoretical risk though so docs shouldn't give it to patients with cancer.  The body has already seen levels of GH that are equivalent to replacement doses.  All bets are off with supraphysiologic doses, no one knows.
As Arnold jr said, even though GH causes growth and replacement of tissue, particularly damaged tissue, it also stimulates the immune system, which is our body's survalence system for cancer, toxins, and pathogens.

Good point but body knows best as well; as you age your DNA degrades increasing the chance of rogue cells appearing. Slow down the growth and limit the risks.

I'm not sure it would initiate any tumours, but I could see how it could increase the rate of growth of an existing tumour.

Yes but the guy did say that tumor growth was differnet mechanism than normal growth. He merely said constant HGH use may "trigger" a mechanism for increased tumor growth as we age. Hmmmmm?

Oh, the sex with sis and get a retard zinger is a 10/10 get big scale zinger...classic and funny as hell.
