The Amazing Anti-Aging Benefits of GH3
From “Natural Cures” Newsletter, Vol 34, Sept 2007
Rodger Sless was first introduced to GH3 by a professor friend while living in New Mexico, studying herbal medicine and natural healing. He took a great interest in GH3, especially after discovering that in Europe it was hugely popular with the over-40 crowd. When he learned that brain neurochemistry slows down for most of us as we age, he became fascinated with GH3, which led him to study, distribute and attempt to educate the world about it. Rodger now has customers who have been using GH3 for over three decades. He has heard testimonials through the years from literally thousands of GH3 users, including everyday people as well as celebrities such as James Coburn, Dyan Cannon, and George Hamilton, who bought their GH3 from his company or supported the product publicly.
History of GH3
In the world of dietary supplements, GH3 has become quite well-known since the mid 90’s. In fact, in 1973 Mike Wallace and 60 Minutes went to Romania, and interviewed Dr. Ana Aslan. The active ingredient of GH3 is procaine, a local anesthetic that had been discovered previously. Over the years, doctors using procaine began to notice regenerative effects: arthritis disappeared in some patients, hair regrew or recolored, and skin quality improved. Dr. Aslan stabilized and compounded GH3 in the late 40’s, and ran the Bucharest Spa to which many in the Hollywood crowd streamed to get GH3 treatments in the 60’s and 70’s, before it became available in the U.S. It’s well known that Zsa Zsa Gabor, Marlene Dietrich, and many other stars learned about GH3, and many articles about it were published in the 70’s under only slightly misleading titles similar to “Is this the Fountain of Youth?!!”
Because the FDA and the AMA seemed to fear its use as a high-quality, low side-effect alternative to many popular anti-depressants, they waged a war against its use in the United States throughout the 80’s, and that may be why GH3 never fully emerged into national awareness. To buy GH3, one needed to ask at the local health food store, which often kept it under the counter or in the back room. Partly as a result of Rodgerís federal case (see website for details), GH3 was proved to belong squarely in the realm of dietary supplements. Now, the government can no longer just claim a product is harmful and take it off the health food store shelves; there have to be valid reasons for any such claims.
What is special about GH3?
GH3 is a vitamin compound of naturally-occurring substances in the body. It has been thoroughly tested and there are no known downsides despite decades of wide use. Occasionally, someone has a specific allergy to a particular herb or vitamin, but with GH3 that’s so rare as to be almost non-existent. GH3 is basically what can be called a “pro-vitamin” or “vitamin precursor,” i.e., it breaks down to help the formation of various vitamins in the body, including folic acid, choline, acetyl-choline, and much more. GH3 is similar to an amino acid. It breaks down into naturally occurring compounds in the body, specifically DEAE and PABA (a B vitamin). DEAE, which further breaks down into DMAE (dimethyl-amino-ethanol) , is widely known in medicine as a brain function enhancer, once marketed as “Deanol” or “Deaner”.
GH3 and aging
GH3 acts to reverse some of the aspects of aging, albeit on a cellular level, where it increases cell membrane flexibility and conductivity. This means that more nutrients can get into cells and more toxins can be excreted, thus radically transforming the look of one’s skin to a glowing youthfulness within a few months. GH3 also improves mood through balancing brain neurotransmitter production at any age. So, GH3 is good to take at any point in life.
Benefits
GH3 tends to improve the balance with which diverse systems in the body interact. Many health professionals view the maintenance of this balance to be a definition of health itself. GH3 gently dilates and cleanses blood vessels, thus facilitating improved circulation to all parts of the body. It is clear that numerous conditions of aging are caused or accelerated by impairment of circulation. Poor kidney function, senility, memory loss, angina, arthritis, poor skin tone, varicose veins, poor lung capacity and other conditions may thus be improved with GH3.
GH3 has been reported to show regenerative effects in conditions of Parkinson’s disease, high or low blood pressure, ulcers, thinning and fading of hair, poor memory and eyesight, senility, impotence and proneness to general illness. GH3 restores the level of MAO (monoamine oxidase, an enzyme) toward normal. MAO levels tend to build up in the body after about age 40, and displace other substances related to youth and vitality. Individuals with high MAO levels may thus develop depression, pessimism, tiredness and lose interest in life. Some researchers believe that decreased levels of serotonin (a substrate of MAO) lead to impotence. Restoring MAO levels and increasing serotonin levels toward normal may restore sexual potency.
GH3 seems to improve the overall functioning of the human system, rather than working on specific sites. Regarding cardiovascular health, two important factors are the “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglyceride levels. Studies show a lowering of these levels by using GH3.
GH3 effects can be subtle
Many people over ages 35-40 readily notice GH3’s obvious effects, yet some do not. However, once someone has learned how GH3 works to restore balance in the brain by its effects on the neurotransmitters being produced, how it works to revitalize the skin and hair, to help cope with stress better, and so on, they often take it for life. If one takes a 3-5 day break from GH3 about every 3 months, the subtle differences are noticeable in the areas of energy, mood, and mind.
What else should one know about GH3?
When one ceases to use GH3, the body appears to go back slowly to its original condition. The most impressive studies on increased life span were conducted on rats and mice. Animals treated with GH3 may live up to 30% longer than those in the control groups. Dr. Aslan reported a reduction in mortality rate in her human subjects, although her figures are less specific. GH3, which comes in bottles of 60 tablets, is best taken on an empty stomach. GH3 has no relationship to “hgh”, which is a hormone. There are dozens of products from various parts of the world which claim to be GH3. Most show themselves to be unstabilized procaine, which remains in the body for about one hour. Products found in health food stores in the U.S are often combinations of PABA and DMAE, useful perhaps, but decidedly not the equal of GH3.
Many people report positive benefits for animals, usually along the same lines as those experienced by humans. Arthritis, allergies, skin problems, hair loss and slow healing have all been reported to improve by people who gave GH3 to their pets. Sound too good to be true? The Natural Curesô staff is optimistic and looking forward to providing firsthand testimonials.
