Reading Time: 3 minutes Among the many benefits of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is this: adequate levels of HGH will prove to be invaluable in the battle against disease-production inflammation. Medical research increasingly points to out-of-control inflammation as a significant factor in both causing and aggravating many diseases, and psoriasis is no exception.

We offer Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Replacement Therapy; Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT); and Sermorelin Therapy.    But we also stress this crucial piece of the equation: You can enhance the effects of hormone therapy or weaken these effects solely by what you put into your body or what you don't consume.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Hey folks, Dale Clifford here. I’ve been a country doctor for 25 years, and today I want to talk to you about the benefits of a diet of raw food. Now, I know that the idea of eating raw food might sound a little strange to some of you, but hear me out.

That means fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, basically anything that hasn't been heated up or had any chemicals added to it. Now, I know that...

Reading Time: 5 minutes What to eat to boost testosterone A grim fact: as men age, the amount of testosterone in their bodies drops. Beginning around age 30 the testosterone loss occurs at approximately 10% per decade. Do the math. At that rate, an 80-year-old man will have half the testosterone as he did as a young man. And the consequences of this crash of testosterone levels are devastating since testosterone is the crucial hormone that makes men MEN! Let’s take a look at a few of the unwelcome surprises that await aging men that are losing the “manly hormone”: Shrinking, weakening muscles Accumulation...

Reading Time: 2 minutes The 21st Century is an exciting time for Hormone Replacement and Peptide Science.

These are all great ideas. But what you don't put in...
