Exogenous HGH use and risk of cancer
So, Before I begin something I try to do as much research as possible. Even after I have started i continue to search and learn all the aspects of a certain substance, or method. I used to be a cigarette smoke for about 8 years before i quit. Now i only use an electronic cigarette with very low nicotine content. These are said to be much safer than cigarettes, as the only ingredients are vegetable glycerin and Nicotine. I dont use it very much, but i do use it none the less. When I was a smoker i would only smoke from 1-4 cigarettes a day. With this being said once I started HGH I was curious as to how cancer and HGH related. In my A and P class in college we did a pretty deep research project of the relationship between natural HGH produced by the body, and GHs function on cells, specifically cancer cells. Here is an article I found, and to be honest, its about the only one I could find where the study was done primary on subjects that received exogenous HGH. SO here is is! Any comments would be appreciated. I hope this sparks some of your guys interest as this is a very serious issue. With that being said how do people feel about the correlation between the two ? Has anyone experienced cancer after having used HGH? Anyone still a smoker and using HGH? Any other questions anyone has, feel free to post in the comments and i will try to do some more research to help find the answer!

Two pro bodybuilders I know are smokers and I imagine one is currently and one used to use very large amounts of gh. Markus ruhl and Dennis wolf. At the end of the day it's genetics, my grandfather just passed away at 90 and smoked since he was 10 and it wasn't any smoking related cancer. Others get canver after being a moderate smoker for 5 years. I used to smoke myself, from 16-25. Now I use the ecig myself. I worry like you. If you have s tumor high igf-1 levels will accelerate its growth, but if you don't you should be fine. They have found some correlation between I think colon cancer and hgh and one other type I can't remember exactly. No hard science just these people developed colon cancer and were using hgh or something. So it doesn't mean all that much. The correlation is much like lawyers fishing for drug lawsuits. It's easy to do with a country of 300 million people, you're bound to find a few thousand who were taking the same med an developed the same disease, despite the fact the drug didn't actually cause it but those few thousand people are enough to convinence a jury.
I'm sitting in my docs office waiting for my spot she knows what I do I'll ask her opinion on the subject
Nailed it. Always difficult to prove cause and effect. In theory it's possible to accelerate a preexisting malignancy.

Will do sorry about that brother. Is this the proper section for this information ?
Thank you. Yup
