After the study results were published, many manufacturing and marketing companies were created to take advantage of the new "Human Growth Hormone" market that almost immediately sprang up.

Sadly, a number of them have been producing products containing no evidence of performance or no independent clinical evidence that their products actually work.

It has been claimed by some commentators that there are HGH products now available which contain the correct ingredients, but in such small quantities that they will have no effect, or entirely the wrong ingredients, or the right ingredients bur in the wrong proportions and with little or no potency.

Homeopathic Confusion I have seen numerous articles on the net claiming that HGH manufacturers are crooks because they are selling Homeopathic HGH in such low concentrations that it is absolutely impossible for it to work. These writers are totally ignoring the fact that homeopathic practitioners claim (an users believe) that the lower the apparent dosage, the higher the potency of the product!

Actually, I have heard precisely the same criticisms used to target manufacturers of other products over the last thirty years, long before HGH was commercially available.

Homeopathy is not illegal, so it follows that a product manufactured to homeopathic standards can't be illegal either? Many users of homeopathic products are leading figures in our society, and they are not given to wild flights of fancy where their health is concerned.

Many members of my own royal family (I am English) are keen supporters of homeopathic medicine, even though they have the most knowledgeable and expensive doctors to look after them too.

The opposition argument thirty years ago was exactly the same as it is now -that it is almost impossible for homeopathy to work. The concentrations are so low that it is probable that there is not a single molecule of the product in most doses.

My problem is, my scientific brain tells me they are right, - it can't work!

On the other hand, I know that that millions of articulate and intelligent people use homeopathic products successfully, and have done for many years. Why would they continue to use homeopathic products that don't for them, work when there is usually another product available that will? Are they all mad except me?

"Ah" I hear you say. "It only works because they want it to work, it's all in the mind." Well, I've heard that one too, but I've also heard of horses and dogs being successfully treated with homeopathic remedies. I really can't believe that someone, somehow, has managed to convince a horse that he'll feel better by drinking some homeopathic water!

But back to HGH. I have an extensive HGH web-site containing lots of free information and a few HGH product recommendations too. But I am now selecting what I recommend on my web site using a much broader set of tests than those used by others.

My selection parameters now include the numbers sold (and particularly re-orders by existing users), and feedback from satisfied and dissatisfied purchasers. I also take note of testimonials on manufacturers' web sites (they're suspect I know), and the very high volume of HGH information on the web - forums, social sites etc I look for unbiased and reasoned comment. I also take account of quality of service - like quick deliveries, rapid response to enquiries, period of warranty and so on.

That last one is so important. Why is it so wrong to treat adults like adults and give them the chance to make up their own minds? If they buy a product with a "money back if not satisfied" guarantee, so that they can protect themselves from disappointment, what right have writers, politicians and big business to make their minds up for them!

Whoops, I'm in danger of drifting into another debate here, that of the big pharmaceuticals companies who dominate government policy and unfairly influence decisions which (accidentally of course) damage or destroy their competition - the small independent nutritional supplement and alternative medicine manufacturers and distributors. I'll save that rant for another article (after I've engaged a top lawyer)
