I am stunned and very sad to read of the passing of Dr. Alan Mintz,
founder of Cenegenics, and of course a defender of the use of HGH
for the good health to his patients... and I suppose of himself,
too.

I am guessing that we will soon hear from Jay Olshansky and Thomas
Perls and Shlomo Melamed and others opposed to the use of HGH
to point at HGH as a cause of his death.

I expect that someday I too will die... and I also expect that, if
they outlive me, Jay Olshansky and Thomas Perls and Shlomo Melamed
would also say I died of HGH and testosterone and insulin and too
high levels of red blood cells....

But I want to state very plainly that I am 62 years old (soon) and
I have not lived a single day of my life as an OLD MAN or as a SICK
MAN... I would be very happy if I could have a contract that says
I will live to age 69 and I will die of a brain hemorrage but that
I will have never lived a day sick, as I think Dr. Alan Mintz was
fortunate to have done...

(Since I don't have a contract, I will be more happy if I can live
HEALTHY to 169...)

I would not have it any other way for me, now that I know how good
HGH and other hormones have been for my health, compared to what I
have seen is the norm in other 62 year old men.

And if I die of a brain hemorrage (stroke) I do not think it will
have been necessarily caused from having taken growth hormone...

There are many people who die of a stroke who do not take growth
hormone... Stroke is one of the most common causes of death in
the population as a whole... so it is not necessarily growth hormone
that causes strokes....

But watch what they will say.
