Why is the 1990 Dr. Rudman HGH study considered such a landmark?
Dr. Rudman’s study – Effects of Human Growth Hormone in Men over 60 Years Old (New England Journal of Medicine, 1990; 323:1), marked the first time a therapy had been shown to reverse aging. Up until this point most people just accepted that we all age and there is nothing you can do about it. Dr. Rudman showed that this was not the case. In fact, his study showed that 6 months of growth hormone injections turned the clock back 10-20 years on his subjects.
