I will need daily injections of synthetic growth hormone for the rest of my life.

Can you give us the name of the doctor who performed the test?

I was tested by Dr. Arti Shah. Here is her profile Dr. Arti Pankaj Shah, MD - MedStar Health. Unfortunately, I had to fight to get the test, and she did not prescribe it until another doctor convinced her. She is also a pediatric endocrinologist. Dr. Michael Lewis was the doctor who convinced her, and he has knowledge in this area, but he cannot order the test himself.

What about the HGH supporting supplements? SeroVital is supposed to increase HGH.

I have a person on another group that took the ServoVital for I think 3 months and he stopped, said it did nothing for him. The HGH homeopathic gel we use is NOTHING like S.V. product. There are many types of HGH products out there. Something about the "gel" is and has been life changing for MOST who are using it, it's rubbed into the skin at specific points. I remind people that it costs us about $5/daily but in our lives worth it and what it does for us. I don't need a bunch of useless gadgets to spend my money on.

Caroline,

Are you using Somaderm Gel ? $169 a month.......

Here is an interesting report on the company that makes Somaderm Gel

https://www.lexology.com/library/det...f-5a6fd2fd4f0c

Somaderm Gel is a 30x homeopathic dilution.

The world's oceans contain 3.52x10^20 gallons. A 30x homeopathic dilution is like 0.000,000,000,3 gallons of active ingredient in the world's oceans.

In another form, if the active ingredient has the same molecular size as water, there would be 1 molecule in 12,200,000 gallons or 18 Olympic swimming pools of water.

Inconceivable........................

Research shows that the placebo effect can cause improvements in up to 60% of subjects. They find that the more the placebo remedy costs, the greater the placebo effect.

If the placebo was truly harmless and inexpensive, I think placebos can be very valuable. The human mind can be a great healer.

SomaDerm Gel has many adverse reactions reported.

I tried SeroVital but did not feel any different. Considering that my STIM test used L-arginine and L-DOPA, I only produced 0.1 μg/ dL compared to the >10 μg/dL cut off, and SeroVital or Secretropin use these two secretagogues, I would assume it cannot significantly influence a damaged pituitary.
