GH and cancer/risks.....

[swollNnator]

So thinking about running some GH to help with some body recomp and overall health. Got to reading and there is a lot about cancer on the subject. I know it was the same for test or TRT. I was talking to my buddy about it and he started sending me every negative article out there about GH and cancer. He has had skin cancer several times cut off, so he is very against it. I know abuse can cause issues and severe issues. But to my understanding that a small amount daily 2iu or 5 on 2 off is about the equivalent of what our bodies used to produce? I personally am not looking to run really anything much higher than 2iu, as I already deal with puffiness and carpal tunnel like symptoms. Just curious to hear all your thoughts.

Probably a bad idea IF you already have cancer, but I've never seen much worry or talk about that here if you have a clean bill of health. 2iu is a nice replacement dose for those of us 40+ in age and I've never heard anything bad about it, even at moderately higher doses.

Hgh makes everything grow, so if you have cancer cells they will grow also. Some guys get full body scans to check before hand, but they are not the most accurate and can have you worried/chasing an issue that’s not there

GH doesn't cause you to develop cancer. It increases cell replication.

If cancer cells are present it will cause increased replication in them just as it does all cells.
