HGH & STEROIDS
The truth
By Beau Baugher
STEROIDS
Most people consider any sports enhancement product
a steroid. This is false. A steroid is a type of
organic compound that contains a characteristic
arrangement of four cycloalkane rings that are joined
to each other. Examples of steroids include the dietary
fat cholesterol, the sex hormones estradiol and
testosterone, and the anti-inflammatory drug
dexamethasone.
THE HISTORY OF STEROIDS
In the early 1930s, German scientists discovered the drug in
modern pharmaceutical form. Almost 2 decades later the first
serious scientific attention to anabolic steroid came upon in 1950s
when methandrostenolone or Dianabol was approved by the FDA for
use in US in 1958 after it was known to have had promising trials in
other countries. In 1972 a study was done. No big difference could
be noticed between the people who received anabolic steroid
injection and those who were given placebo. Later in 1996, the
National Institutes of Health decided to examine the effect of the
drug by injecting testosterone enanthate in high doses
intramuscularly at the rate of 600 mg/week for 10 weeks. The
results were very noticeable with increased muscle mass and
decreased fat mass. As of January 20, 2005, the Anabolic Steroid
Control Act of 2004, states that both anabolic steroids and
prohormones are now controlled substances.
ANABOLIC STEROIDS
The steroids we hear about the most are
Anabolic Steroids. Anabolic Steroids are drugs
that mimic the effects of testosterone and
dihydrotestosterone in the body. They increase
protein synthesis within cells, which results in
the buildup of cellular tissue (anabolism),
especially in muscles. The know side effects of
steroids include hair growth, acne, testicular
atrophy, deepened voice, high blood pressure,
and dangerous changes to the left ventricle of
the heart.
HGH
HGH is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell
reproduction and regeneration in humans and other
animals. Growth hormone is a 191-amino acid, single-chain
polypeptide that is synthesized, stored, and secreted by the
somatotroph cells within the pituitary gland. Growth
hormone is used as a prescription drug in medicine to treat
children's growth disorders and adult growth hormone
deficiency. Many of the functions of hgh are unknown.
PERFORMANCE ENHANCERS AND BODY BUILDING
• There has been tons of controversy between bodybuilding and the use of performance enhancers. Bodybuilders use drugs such as anabolic steroids and precursor substances such as prohormones to increase muscle hypertrophy. Other performance enhancing substances used by competitive bodybuilders include human growth hormone (HGH), which can cause acromegaly.
STEROID CON’S
Many people frown upon steroids.
They say there bad for you and they
will mess you up. People blame
steroids for suicides and for being
aggressive(roid rage) and for some
types of cancer. Lyle alzado blamed
his 16 years of steroid use for his
brain tumor There has been no direct
link between any of these allegations.
STEROID PRO’S
When you think of steroids you think of a nasty
illegal drug that gets people huge. When people
with muscle wasting or aids or even cancer
patients think of steroids they think of a life
saver. Steroids have been used to treat people
with muscle wasting or aids by increasing the
muscle mass and increasing t cells. In these
peoples minds steroids are a miracle drug.
SHOULD STEROIDS BE LEGAL?
Some people argue that steroids should be legal. If you think about
it they shouldn't be. They don’t alter your mind or get you “high”.
They don’t effect you like drugs such as marijuana or heroin do.
Steroids enhance your performance. I understand why cocaine and
other drugs like that are illegal. You can overdose on those and they
cause people to committee crime and get murdered. You cant over
dose on steroids and there isn't really a big drug trade or drug mafia
with steroids. The people that think badly are just jealous they don’t
look like Arnold or anyone that uses steroids.
CHRIS BENOIT MURDER SUICIDE
On June 25, 2007 police found chris benoit
and his son and wife dead in there house.
Evidence showed that benoit had killed his son
and wife then killed himself. It was thought
that an excessive use of steroids had caused
him to do what he did. Later tests showed that
the steroids in his system didn’t cause his
actions but head injuries he sustained
throughout his years of wrestling caused him to
do it.
MLB STEROID SCANDAL
Numerous baseball players have stated that there is drug use
within the league. David Wells stated that "25 to 40 percent of
all Major Leaguers are juiced". Jose Canseco stated on
60 Minutes and in his tell-all book Juiced that as many as 80%
of players used steroids, and that he credited steroid use for
his entire career. In February 2009 after statements came out
that Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 2003 the
year he was MVP. He admitted to having used performance
enhancing drugs (PEDs) between 2001 and 2003. Mark
McGwire admitted in January 2010 that he had used steroids
off and on for over a decade. Including in 1998 when he
set the single-season home run record.
STEROIDS YOU CAN BUY
There are tons of web sites you can buy steroids
and hgh releasers from. The most common steroids
are winstrol, dianabol, and anadrol. The hgh you can
buy isnt actual hgh. It’s a blend of stuff that makes
your pituitary glad produce more hgh naturally. The
best hgh releaser out there is growth-rx. The effects
of hgh is still unknown so it is a risk to take it.
