Natural Muscle, When Greater Performance Demands Less

Cell-to-cell communication (cell signaling) optimizes peak performance. Physical power, endurance and mental alertness demand that immune, nervous and hormonal systems function in concert. Control over cell signaling is a powerful advance in molecular biology, now available in over-the-counter homeopathic drug products.

The two most powerful natural cell signals for building lean mass and increasing endurance are human growth hormone (hGH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). The pituitary master hormone is hGH, influencing thyroid hormones, testosterone, estrogen, immune cells, bone, muscle, nerves and mental/emotional states. Due to the power of hGH and IGF-1, they are physiologically present in the body at very minute concentrations such as 0.000000001 grams (nanograms or lower). At higher than physiological concentrations the body is thrown out of balance with resultant consequences of disease or death. Athletes, body builders and power lifters appreciate how organ damage can occur as a result of injectable hGH. For example hGH abuse at higher than normal concentrations has lead to diabetes, high liver enzymes, nerve damage, acne, cardio-vascular heart disease, upper respiratory tract infections, bloating, loss of lean mass, musculo-skeletal distress, impotence, insulin insensitivity and carpal tunnel syndrome to name just a few. In the case of hGH and IGF-1, more is simply not better.

Maintaining balance in the neuro-immuno-hormonal system is much the same as regulating heat within a house using a thermostat. There are positive and negative signals that turn the system up or down depending upon the needs at the moment. In the case of your body, there are fine tuning adjustments that need to occur rapidly in periods lasting from minutes to hours. HGH and IGF-1 are part of a super-family language of signals that control rapid muscle responsiveness and adaptability.

Precise cell signaling strengthens efficient utilization of nutrients and defense mechanisms. HGH and IGF-1 use specific cell surface receptors that trigger a relay team of messengers to carry information about the environment into the cell’s interior, all the way down to the DNA. Growth factors function as both growth stimulators and growth inhibitors, significantly regulating normal cell growth. Growth factors control metabolic processes and coordinate all aspects of interactions between the nervous, immune and hormonal systems. Growth factors regulate cell growth and cell survival with powerful effects on cell regeneration, tissue healing and tissue remodeling. IGF-1 is the key growth factor to achieve this.

IGF-1 is the workhorse for hGH, carrying out its anabolic signals on many target lean mass organs and muscles. IGF-1 is produced throughout the body with highest levels of synthesis in the liver in response to an hGH signal. Working at the cellular level, IGF-1 controls entry into DNA synthesis and if necessary repair of DNA, making it particularly important during times of under nutrition, controlling what cells live or die. IGF-1 is most targeted for its effects when athletic training pushes your muscles for maximal performance and your diet is most limited. There are many benefits of homeopathic IGF-1: increased energy, endurance, and improved protein stores without increased fat. Finally, homeopathic IGF-1 acts to focus concentration and works on neuro-muscular junctions to speed recovery time, prevent stiffness, pains and cramps during or after strenuous workouts.

Medical literature documents that hGH and IGF-1 are complex regulatory signalers yielding physiological benefits.. For example, three double-blind, placebo controlled studies with homeopathic hGH on 162 healthy adults 18-72 years old demonstrated that lean body mass increased 2.5 pounds in three weeks on a formula with one million times fewer molecules than another formula! This lower concentration of hGH actually out performed injectable hGH in terms of increased lean mass and fat loss in a shorter time period. One man, 32 years old, noticed his weight training recovery time improved after using homeopathic IGF-1. Usually when he worked out, his chest, back and supporting bicep and tricep muscles would be very sore. He found that after taking homeopathic IGF-1 he increased strength during vigorous workouts without soreness. His trainer charted 20-30% increased strength after 3 to 5 days of taking homeopathic IGF-1. He also noticed a greater clarity and focus of thought, so he was not only stronger, but also played a smarter game in competitive sports. Another man, after taking homeopathic IGF-1 lost considerable weight and gained significant muscle mass with added strength while guided by a trainer. There are strong benefits to fine tuning the feedback loops using homeopathic levels of hGH and IGF-1 versus slamming the body with higher than needed concentrations. Too much hGH or IGF-1 overloads and inevitably shuts off necessary cell receptors. At times like this no signal is carried into the cells.

The secret to success is not overloading the body with too much of a good thing. Homeopathic drugs are non-toxic therefore target the effects to specific organs or tissues without evoking adverse reactions. It is clinically proven that small and timely, homeopathic corrections of hGH and IGF-1 make the most rapid, efficient metabolic enhancements.
