Use of human growth hormones HGH w children/teens/adults with Multiple Sclerosis

[Milton]

Does anyone know if HGH has been used in MS? Is it an effective treatment/therapy in relation to other treatments/therapies used for MS. Does anyone have an endocrinologists experience or heard about it?

With all these bright minds here someone has to know. Think of all those kids in wheelchairs who need this kind of help. It could be your kid someday who needs this kind of assistance.

Let me say that this is NOT my area of expertise but my parents are both endocrinologists and do deal with GH therapy and such so here is my view for what its worth...

Theoretically, HGH can't cure MS but should help slowdown the rate of progression for MS - however, until recently, there really wasn't any solid evidence either way.
Last year trials began to test out if HGH is a viable MS treatment:

Pilot Trial Of Recombinant Human Growth Hormone For Remyelination In Multiple Sclerosis: Current Status And Preliminary Safety Analysis (P3.155)

Unfortunately, its simply far too early to tell whether or not GH would be an effective treatment for MS - not the answer you were probably hoping for Milton but its all we have right now I'm afraid.
