Use
and method of application
Group 1 was treated orally with 15 drops, 3 times a
day for 5 months with the homeopathic solution of 21st Century HGH
potentized to 30X, which was bottled in 30m1 amber bottles.
Group 2 was treated with 21st Century HGH in the same
manner as Group 1 but, in addition, were treated with the homeopathic
foumulation of HE potentized to 3X in quantities of 15 drops, 3 times
a day orally, during 5 months.
Group 3, which served as the control group, was
treated with a placebo, administered orally in quantities of 15 drops
3 times a day during 5 months.
Results
All groups showed a statistically significant increase
in plasmatic levels of IGF-I, although the percentage increase of
said hormone was greatest in Group 1 (p < 0.001). Blood glucose
showed a statistically significant increase in the group treated with
only 21st Century HGH (p < 0.05). IgG decreased in Group 1 (p <
0.01) and in Group 2 (p < 0.02). Patients' weight and excess body
fat (measured as the corporal fat level in excess of predicted normal
prophylactic ranges for each participant given their sex, age and
height) decreased more in groups 1 and 2 (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01).
Discussion
Currently, modifications that occur with aging in the
growth hormone axis (hypothalamus-hypophysis-liver) are well known.
The decrease in the production of GH by the anterior hypophysis,
stands out, as well as the production of Somatomedin-C (IGF-I), by GH
stimulus in the liver. On the other hand, studies which have used
human recombinant GH or GHRH in the elderly have shown that this
produces an increase in plasmatic levels of Somatomedin-C and
glycemia during fasting. The results that we obtained with the
use of the homeopathic formulation of GH indicated that the 2 groups
that used said preparation, showed an average percentage increase up
to 130 (P < 0.001) in plasma levels of IGF-I, and in some cases up
to 160 if we take into consideration the average plus a standard
error to the right. These increases of IGF-I are the firmest bases we
have to affirm that the homeopathic formulation of GH exercises its
action at least at the liver level; we do not believe that said
formulation will act at the hypothalmic level by increasing the
quantities of GHRH or by inhibiting the somatostatin (SRIF).
