Dear BodyBuilder Buddy, I wanted to do body building but the odd muscle disease I have seemed to make that a hopeless desire. BUt now for the first time in over 20 year exercise is actually working, making me stronger and fitter instead of tearing me down and making me want to lay in bed on heating pads in constant pain. BUt what I think you are talking about is steroids which most ethical body builder gurus such as Weider are against. Steroids will put on muscle but at a great cost to health, such as diabetes, heart disease and in the case of one young bodybuilder I read about, death from a heart attack, MAny confuse illegal steroids with HGH and HGH releasers like arginine and ornithine. Like many confuse Yam creames with actual real estrogen replacements. HGH was used for years to trea dwarfism in children then about 10 or so yeasr sgo it was found you could offset the debilitation of aging by injecting elderly people with it and making them do weight training. NOw it is legal in clinics even in the US but it is costly like 1000 or more a month for the injections. And the injections do carry more risk than the HGH releasers sold in pill form. I am also interested in some of the homeopathic growth hormone releasers. But it is steroids that are illegal, not HGH per se.
