Pose this question to yourself: How old were you when you felt at your peak? Most people would say that their best years were between ages 20 to 25. So wouldn’t it make sense to check the hormone systems of the body and, for those hormones that are found to be low, take supplements so that your hormone levels are restored to those that you had in your early twenties? After a few days you will start to feel better. After a couple of months, you begin to feel that you are once again that age. After a few years you will start looking younger too.

This will not have a drastic effect that makes you look like a teenager again, but it can reverse damage and the appearance of aging, shaving ten or twenty years off of your appearance.

The rate at which we age as well as the physical and mental manifestations of aging are regulated by the hormones DHEA, melatonin, pregnenolone, the estrogens, testosterone, and HGH (human growth hormone), all of which you can readily obtain in the marketplace. Because these hormones are sold without a prescription, people are clueless as to their hormone levels before and after supplementation, so the hormones are not being used as well as they could be used. The goal of the treatment is to simply restore levels to those at age 20, while avoiding excessive hormone use. Other hormones are currently available through prescriptions as well — natural human testosterone and estrogen such as estrone, estriol and estradiol. But for maximum results, all of the hormone levels should be tested prior to taking supplements, and the goal of taking supplements should be to provide optimal levels, not just high levels. In terms of hormones, while a shortage has an adverse effect, an excess may be even worse.

There are increasing numbers of people using hormone replacement therapy to lower morbidity and mortality rates by around half. You are missing out on a most effective means of maintaining excellent health if you have not sought out assessment for using adrenal, sex, and thyroid hormones.

Admittedly, it is hard to find a doctor who will order these tests. Many doctors still hold an antiquated belief that aging is inevitable, and will tell their patients that the impacts of aging are inescapable. You are growing older. Deal with it. All people will die one day! It is very good to screen your doctor previously before you make the arrangements.

Human Growth Hormone

There is one additional hormone that is quite critical, in addition to the adrenal, sex and thyroid hormones. This hormone, human growth hormone or HGH, influences the changes associated with aging more than any other hormone. HGH is emitted by the brain’s pituitary gland structure, which governs our whole hormone function. It has been found that 40% of the anterior pituitary cells consist of HGH producing “somatocytes” cells. If you consider the amount of cells that are dedicated to this task, it appears that nature places prominence on HGH manufacture.

The human growth hormone, or HGH, enables the long bones to grow, thus increasing a child’s height during childhood. For a long time, it was thought that this was the only function of HGH. Current research demonstrates that every cell of the body contains HGH receptors that perform multiple operations related to human metabolism in all the body organs. Receptors located in the brain, when activated, produce endorphins, a substance that boosts your mood. Skin cells react to HGH by growing evenly, generating the sleek complexion of children’s skin. Brain cells react by actually reverting back to an active state (for every decade of life, an additional 10% of brain cells degrade to an inactive state). Hence, HGH has become the most accepted  treatment for Alzheimer’s disease despite the lack of double-blind clinical trials conducted to date.

A dearth of HGH often causes irritability which changes to a deep feeling of well-being after replacement therapy. The reaction of the bones, although it can take several years, includes the production of new bone cells, and a reversal of the effects of osteoporosis. Fatty deposits react by relinquishing their existence as they are burned off to supply energy. The extra weight near the middle which is a sign of being deficient in HGH, is gone away after several months. The muscle cells of the body, especially the torso, react and become stronger. You will feel strength and endurance as if you were young again. With strength restored to the eyes’ ciliary muscles, a lot of people can read once again without using reading glasses.

Considering the variety of work HGH does, it, more than any other hormone, controls the physical differences that are the signs of aging. HGH levels decrease as you get older. From what we have learned about HGH, it actually should be called HVH (human vitality) instead.

Total Hormone Rejuvenation Therapy

The theory behind this treatment option is to achieve hormone levels similar to those experienced in young adulthood. Afterward, your hormone levels started decreasing. Although it is commonly seen as a normal part of the aging process, it can more accurately be called “multiple system degenerative disease.” If there is a way to remedy the effects, why not do it?
