It is mushrooming… Yes, it is… Believe it nor not, with baby boomers wanting to hold their advancing age in their clutches, the horizon of anti-aging practitioners is expanding day by day. Mainstream doctors who once wanted nothing to do with the naturopaths, osteopaths and others who first populated modern anti-aging, and whom they often considered glorified carnival barkers, are buying in, signing up for “certification” as anti-aging practitioners and offering patients the promise of youth and rejuvenation through such treatments as human growth hormone, testosterone, special diet and exercise regimens, antioxidants and hundreds of other supplements.
Human Growth Hormones are hot
There may an array of anti-aging treatments, but hormones are the most popular tools in anti-aging’s armory. Scientists recognized their potential over 100 years ago, but their use in modern anti-aging traces back to July 1990 when a researcher named Daniel Rudman published a study about the effects of human growth hormone (HGH) on men over 60 in The New England Journal of Medicine. Though it can be stated here that Rudman had issued many cautions about using HGH and he never meant them for anti-aging. Still, HGH, the body’s “master hormone,” became the hottest thing to hit anti-aging since vitamin C because it was a real drug that appeared to restore youthful vigor.
Texas entrepreneur Howard Turney was so enthused about Rudman’s positive results that he started a resort called El Dorado in Cancun, Mexico, to administer HGH to those seeking rejuvenation.
Klatz, then an osteopath and a consultant at El Dorado, held the A4M’s organizing meeting there. In 1996, he also wrote a book, “Grow Young with HGH,” summing up the life-extension world’s hope that there was finally a fountain of youth in a bottle. He dedicated it to Rudman saying, “His vision and pioneering human research with growth hormone for anti-aging marked the beginning of the end of aging.”
