YOU Explain the Difference

[LouGehrig]

Player X gets a prescription for Growth Hormone and injects it.

Player Y takes 2000 mg of arginine and ornithine, two amino acids that occur in protein containing foods. Arginine and ornithine stimulate the pituitary gland to produce growth hormone.

The production of growth hormone helps to convert fat to muscle, increases the efficiency with which cells (mitochondria) release energy, and produces a feeling of well being.

Why is the method Player X uses frowned upon while the method Player Y uses acceptable?

I give up...tell us

[west coast orange and black]

is the prescription a valid, proper prescription?

[runningshoes]

The key word there is method, Tony.

There's no difference..That's his point, I think.

[west coast orange and black]

yeah, i saw that word, but must first get an answer to the legality of the prescription before i answer.

Introducing your body to HGH in large amounts, fools your body into thinking it doesn't need to produce as much anymore. You're essentially replacing your current growth hormone, with huge amounts of the Ferrari of growth hormones.

In the second example, those amino acids that are simply stimulating what is already being produced. Much the same way Nyquil might "stimulate" whatever chemical we release in our heads, in order to go to sleep.


Is that the right answer Mr. Barker?

I highly doubt that amino acids would even come close to duplicating anything that HGH does. As a matter of fact, I believe amino acids are one tiny step above a placebo pills and vitamins.

Its a nice theoretical but practically I don't think it works. Arginine was one of the substances that Bonds was supposed to be taking at BALCO under his "Legitimate" and obviously illusionary suppliment regiment. But instead he went for the straight HGH behind the sences. If the Arginine was that effective why go for the HGH? But I see the point your trying to make.

I honestly look at these things like Creatine which is thought by some to be a borderline PED. Yeah its a naturally available substance but you would never be able to injest enough meat chicken etc to get what you can in a concentrated suppliment form. Its basicly a grey area as to not only if these things do anything significant or if taking them in forms this concentrated is infact a shortcut to gaining an unfair advantage.

Anybody remember that infomercial with the Juiceman where he holds up like 37 honeydews and is like you can get all the nutrients in 37 melons by drinking this one glass of juice. That's like how I feel about creatine...but in a bad way. Juice is cool.

Merchant X sells alcohol and tobacco
Merchant Y sells amphetamines and speed

Why is merchant X legitimate while merchant Y is not?
Because there are laws concerning certain things that deem them legitimate or not. The scope is the same: make money. Some choose to do so in one way. some in another....

[Biggtone23]

I'm pretty sure its physically impossible to turn fat to muscle. Fat cells are fat cells and muscle cells are muscle cells. There's no way to convert them.
