Do you know of any trials or research on the effects of human growth hormone on increasing muscle use in Post-polio or on delaying the disuse of muscles in any disease?
There was one small study done with equivocal effects. So far it is not used for this purpose. I am told that other studies are in progress. It is clear that a growth hormone deficiency will accelerate Post Polio Syndrome. I would check your levels, if low it might be beneficial to replace them, but if normal, I wouldn’t try it unless things are truly critical in terms of function.
