Thanks for sending this, Phil... However... I remember there
was a long-lasting growth hormone that lasted about 30 days,
a few years ago... one person who used it wrote to Rejuvenation
and told us that it is injected with VERY THICK needles (instead
of the great 31 gauge needle us daily-HGH junkies have to use...)
and IT HURT.

Quite frankly, I am a coward, and I hate PAIN. I much prefer
"no pain" every day than pain once a month... I don't know if
this 10-day HGH would be painful... or more expensive than the
HGH we have now... but I would not take it if it is more
painful, or if it is more expensive.

In any case, thanks for sending us this news report. Ellis

Long-lasting growth hormone is developed

SHEFFIELD, England, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- British researchers have
developed a long-acting growth hormone that reduces the need for
daily therapy treatments.

Most hormones and cytokines used today have a short life, requiring
frequent therapeutic injections. But the new technology developed at
the University of Sheffield means scientists and clinicians will be
able to generate effective, long-acting hormones that promote growth
during a minimum 10-day period with one injection.

The researchers said the technology might also be used to treat
inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis, cancer and
metabolic maladies.

However, the scientists cautioned the research is only in its early
stages and any drugs resulting from the study are several years away
from approval.

The research is detailed in the journal Nature Medicine.
