Or arrange treatments through your doctor? NHS - or does it cost a lot? If it does work, by how much could a person grow? What age would they have to be or under?

Ok, I can answer this question because I take daily growth hormone injections. First off, its not "human" growth hormone because it has not been extracted from cadavers for many years. It is synthetically made. You can buy it with a prescription if you are shown to have gh deficiency through a blood test. That means your pituitary is not able to produce it because of damage. It CAN make a young person grow at a normal rate if they are found to be deficient, but will not make an adult grow taller. It DOES cost quite a bit...about $1200 a month is what mine costs but insurance covers most. It doesn't matter what age you are, if you are gh deficient you need it replaced. I happen to be in my 30s. Without replacement it will damage your heart, cause depression, achiness, increased aging.

of course you cant BUY hormones, it's a procedure you can only get if recommended by your GP. it doesnt always make your height greater, it can cause extra hair growth over your body or in fact stop your growth completely

it will make every cell in your body grow and rejuvenate better than ever, they use it for old people and children sometimes, the only negative about it is it is very expensive and can also make cancer cells grow rapidly, but other than that its the fountain of youth!
