How can hrt clinics write for GH?
« on: March 29, 2013, 06:05:20 PM »
How can anyone get GH legally????

I think it'd illegal even through a hrt clinic, I read this:

A lot of them are in violation of federal law

http://www.ussc.gov/pubcom_20080328/Perls_PUBCOM.pdf

Section 303(e) (1) of the FDCA, 21 U.S.C. § 333(e) (1), prohibits knowingly distributing, or possessing with the intent to distribute, HGH for any use in humans other than the treatment of a disease or other recognized medical condition, where such use has been authorized by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) under section 505 of the FDCA (21 U.S.C. § 355) and pursuant to the order of a physician. The Secretary of HHS has not authorized, for example, any HGH use for anti‐aging, bodybuilding, or athletic enhancement. Thus, distributing, or possessing with the intent to distribute, HGH for these uses or any other unapproved use violates section 303(e) (1) of the FDCA. A violation of section 303(e)(1) carries up to 5 years imprisonment and fines and, if the offense involves an individual under the age of 18 years of age, up to 10 year imprisonment and fines.

HGH products are new drugs and cannot be legally marketed in the U.S. without an approved
application. The few HGH products that have been approved for sale by FDA are sold either in liquid form or as lyophilized powders that are labeled for reconstitution by the health care professionals who dispense them. Accordingly, FDA considers both imported HGH lyophilized powder products and liquid HGH products to be finished dosage form drugs, not APIs. Unless these products are the subject of approved new drug applications, they violate section 505 of the FDCA, 21 U.S.C. § 355, and may not be legally imported into the U.S.

in adults the FDA has stated that distribution of hGH is legal for only 3 conditions: wasting syndrome of AIDS (this does not include lipodystrophy60), short bowel syndrome and AGHDS. AGHDS must meet 2 diagnostic criteria12: biochemical diagnosis of adult GHD by means of a subnormal response to the standard growth hormone stimulation test (peak GH, <5.0 ng/L); and the demonstration of a pathological cause of the poor response such as pituitary disease, hypothalamic disease, surgery, radiation therapy, or trauma or patients who were GH deficient during childhood. Only 1 case per 10,000 adults per year meet these criteria for the diagnosis of GHD; 3 cases per 10 000 also include adults who received GH treatment as children.11

Measurement of IGF‐1 levels (a claimed proxy for GH levels) in older adults, when demonstrated to be lower than that of young adults, does not constitute a scientific16, 62 or legally12 accepted diagnosis of AGHDS.

Hormone replacement =/= anti-aging, that's how they do it, it's a medical condition much like women who get treated for low estrogen post menopause.

Found this... Makes me feel better, seems like GH is not even a controlled substance in most states

Is hGH Legal? Human Growth Hormone US Laws
Question: Are the legal risks for growth hormone the same as for steroids?

 
Answer: Human growth hormone (hGH) is a natural occurring hormone produced in the human body by the pituitary gland. It is available as a synthetically produced inject able hormone, and has become a popular but expensive medication prescribed in anti-aging therapies and in the treatment of AIDS related wasting.
Bodybuilders and athletes may illicitly self-administer hGH to improve size and strength, usually by subcutaneous injections. Some of the brand names currently available in the United States are Protropin®, Genotropin®, Humatrope®, Nutropin®, Saizen®, Serostim® and Somatotropin®.
Here is the law: Human growth hormone, hGH is a prescription drug but is not on the federal list of controlled substances (found in 21 USC § 812(c)). The law, passed in 1988, made it a felony to distribute steroids (without criminalizing their personal use).
While hGH is not scheduled, 21 USC § 333(e) prohibits the distribution or possession with intent to distribute hGH for any use in humans other than for recognized medical reasons and pursuant to a valid prescription. Violations may be punishable by imprisonment of up to 5 years (10 years if to a person under 18 years).

 
All this pertains only to federal law. The individual states are free to pass their own laws about hGH, and many have. Idaho, West Virginia, Oregon, Rhode Island and have all scheduled hGH.
Colorado makes hGH a schedule III controlled substance by including it in the definition of “anabolic steroid,” and curiously making its use a misdemeanor but its possession a felony.
Illinois doesn’t schedule it but makes its non medical prescription distribution a felony. Minnesota controls “anabolic substances” in its Schedule IV, and includes the vaguely described “growth hormones.”
In Maine and Massachusetts, all prescription drugs are controlled substances. [For the state-by-state penalties for steroid and hGH crimes, check out your state laws.
Now you should have a better understanding about hGH laws.

If you can afford to shell out the cash then go for it I guess.

They test your gh levels and if it's low , you get the Rx. Of course, "low" varies between doctors and depends on how much money you got in your pocket
