General Information on Medical Conditions
Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly
use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches
and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes
continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental
factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles.
There are 20.8 million children and adults in the United States, or 7% of
the population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 14.6 million have
been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 6.2 million people (or
nearly one-third) are unaware that they have the disease.

Eighty-percent of the cholesterol in your body is produced in your liver,
and the remainder comes from foods like meats, eggs and dairy
products. Saturated fats and transfats can raise the cholesterol level
also. Understanding the different forms of cholesterol can help you make
the right nutritional and treatment decisions to maintain a healthy heart.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
"Human Growth Hormone does something no other weight loss regimen
does - it recontours the body, melting away fat and building muscle. In
many cases, people look like they've shed years, along with the fat."
"Thousands of people around the world are experiencing the multiple
fitness and life-enhancing benefits of HGH replacement. They all feel that
they have turned back the clock and regained their youthful fitness, mind
and spirit."
Starting at age 20, HGH levels begin to decline about 14% each decade
so that by the time we are 65, half of us have little or no Human Growth
Hormone. The decline of HGH is accompanied by many of the miseries
we associate with aging from saggy skin, to a potbelly, to a lack of
fitness."
