Would taking HGH be a good idea or a bad one?

Question by Dylan: Would taking HGH be a good idea or a bad one?
I was told by my doctor that I have a growth hormone deficiency which may have contributed to my short stature, so he recommended maybe putting me on HGH. Im just wondering is it safe? Could it actually help me grow a couple inches taller? What are the common side effects? And if so, are there any safer alternatives? I know age is probably a factor as well, Im a 19 year old male.

is this true or a myth about smoking?

Question by Mike Roberts: is this true or a myth about smoking?
These are statements I got from some questions on the same topic of my question:
-Smoking will make you thinner and quite possibly more muscular and hairy, because it increases testosterone levels. But the real effect of smoking during puberty is on your lungs, cardiovascular system, maybe your brain
-tobacco increases estrogen and lowers testosterone. Tobacco decreases human growth hormone lowering height potential by as much as 5 inches

Which statement is true?

Safe to take niacin while on antidepressants?

Question by The: Safe to take niacin while on antidepressants?
I've been taking antidepressants for the past week (Fluoxetine) and besides some dizziness, tiredness and once at night experiencing intense shortness of breath, they seem to be working well for my moods. (Also, the shortness of breath isn't an allergy as it isn't under 'allergic reactions' or 'serious reactions' in the leaflet but it is under general side effects, so I don't think the shortness of breath was too serious although it did feel quite severe that one time I was experiencing it).

Today I bought some Niacin (vitamin B3, 100MG) from Holland & Barrett as I understand it helps with fatigue and low moods and so far I have just taken 1. Its the flush-free version if that makes any difference to the effectiveness of it. I also read its good for encouraging human growth hormone and as i'm 18 and a slow developer I thought it could speed up my height as my family tend to have growth spurts around 18-20.

Is it safe to be taking these both together daily? Should I tell my dr? Why might I have issues with my liver?

What things help to stimulate human growth hormone naturally?

Question by natalie: What things help to stimulate human growth hormone naturally?
I turned 15 last month and I'm currently 5'4. I know that with being a girl, you stop growing at about 17 or 18. I'm doing all the right things and I want to get as much height in as I can before I'm done growing. I've heard that peanut butter helps, but I really don't know if that has any credibility. I exercise, which is a proven factor, but I'm looking more in the foods department. I really don't think there is any miracle food for height, but I've really dedicated myself to this, and if you have any helpful advice please do tell.

I'm pretty certain that you can't do anything, it is mostly genetics. Of course there are bad habits like drinking and drugs that stunt your growth. Even saying this, I do have to say that my brother ate a whole lot of cereal growing up and he is now 6'9", but he has a tall family. I would be careful so that you don't put on weight.

This is just another reason why teachers should be wary of typed homework assignments. There is a difference between asking for a little help with one or two difficult questions and asking someone to do your homework for you.

Do you really trust just any stranger to do your homework for you? Do you expect to learn anything this way? If you are in "Advanced Biology," you really need to know this stuff. Start by reading the material and actually trying to answer most of the questions on your own. The tests are not going to be easy, especially if someone out in webland answered your questions for you.

Read the text, go to class and participate, and try to do your own homework. You may find that you are capable of a lot more than you are giving yourself credit for.
