| They do increase fuzz. I wish they'd adapt the product for hair on my head! That's where I could use it. |

Good article Riley. I'm not the worrying type - but I have to say, that this business of cell division and cancer does concern me. |
Yes, it also concerns me. I just can't make up my mind if we are doing more harm than good sometimes! |
That's why I stay away from all growth factors...HGH, EGF, IGF, FGF, etc.
What I find to be compelling is that oral supplementation or genetic upregulation of some of these growth factors (e.g., HGH, IGF) has been shown to shorten lifespan in rodents. It's not just a theory nor based on activating a compound in a pathway (e.g., the concern over niacinamide inhibiting SIRT1), but rather it's been tested to actually decrease lifespan in animals by monitoring death rates and plotting survival curves.
Which isn't to say that you shouldn't do things, like exercise that upregulate HGH in response, but rather supplementation or unnatural manipulation is clearly detrimental.
That's why I also worry a bit about cytokines, even if they are anti-inflammatory ones. It's like with oxidative stress--it came as a shock to some that reducing it doesn't always have beneficial results. In terms out that acute oxidative stress like through exercise can be beneficial. So I still feel a bit cautious towards using cytokines, but less so than growth hormones, as they powerfully modulate the immune system. So I'd like to see what happens to long-term survival rates of rodents or other animals when given these stem cell and/or cytokine cocktails.
Just my 2 cents. |
You have to take a lot of injectable GH to increase cancer cells. Most people have no reason to and can't afford that much GH. |

Historically, the holy men of India who take (fresh) colostrum don't do that on a daily basis, and as part of a diet that is very different from ours (so the risk of bowel cancer is way less than it is here). |
Ugh...I just started taking it as a supplement in hopes that it may help with my fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Though if it does help with that, I might be willing to shave a few years off my life.  |
Sounds like Adrenal and thyroid issues. |
