HGH Urine Testing Gets A Performance Boost  Wed, 07 Jan 2009 05:29:31 +0000

The human growth hormone, when in the body seems to become untraceable as it is easily assimilated into one’s system. A scientific study has formulated a process to capture a significant and reliable concentration test for HGH that was released in Nano Research. Professors Emmanuel Petricoin and Lance Liotta from the George Mason University have developed a process to assist anti-doping authorities a process to determine the use of synthetic human growth hormone by an athlete. This drug has long been one of the most popular performance boosting compounds used by the athletes and their doctors. The published dissertation discusses the chemical process to perform the test to see the existence of the compound in the urine of an individual. This takes the cause for the eradication of cheats in sports. Offices like the World Anti-Doping Agency and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency would still have to take the process through its paces before accepting that it is a reliable means to find out the illegal use of HGH by athletes. Current tests being employed make use of blood samples. HGH, being a chemical compound that quickens the rate of recovery and muscle creation, has been widely used in Olympic level competition but the test has failed to discover an athlete’s use. The [...]

The Quintessential Performance Enhancer- Viagra: Prohibited by WADA  Wed, 07 Jan 2009 04:10:15 +0000

Viagra, the little blue pill for erectile and sexual dysfunction has been declared a banned substance in the world of sports. According to the World Anti-Doping Agency, the capacity of the drug to dilate blood vessels in the body and be able to increase oxygen capacity is an unfair advantage when brought into the world of sports. As reported, the blue pill can allow the user to breathe in near sea level capacity when in high altitudes. This finding has been ably supported by studies conducted by the Human Performance Laboratory headed by its director Kenneth W Rundell. A study conducted by the Laboratory on lacrosse players in Marywood University shows the performance enhancements that Viagra brings to high altitude competition. The study, which has brought mixed reactions, is being funded by the World Anti-Doping Agency. Since the laboratory tests indicate the qualities it has, its misuse may lead to the determination that the substance is to be banned. Sildenafil citrate is the scientific name for Viagra. It was initially formulated to address pulmonary hypertension or increase blood pressure in the lung arteries. The drug operates by suppressing an enzyme that monitors blood flow, allowing the relaxation and thus widening of the vessel. Viagra operates in the same concept for impotent [...]

Is Genetic Doping Not Being Too Far Off?  Wed, 07 Jan 2009 03:48:41 +0000

The notorious Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative, in recent years have offered many high profile athletes a magic serum to make them go faster and go higher and be stronger than they ever were. Scientists concoct these magic serums and the edge over others has not come out in the heat of competition but in the confines of laboratories. So if laboratories can formulate drugs that enhance performance, can they also make in the future gene-altering medication to help in the improvement of athlete’s capacity and capability? It may not be too far off since the next step would be genetic modification, it may not be too far fetched an idea. Imagine injecting a drug that can make webbed feet and hands, or produce sweat that makes the skin slicker or a hormone that doubles the lung capacity. These are out there and nothing can be done to stop it as believed by many academics like Andy Miah of the University of the West of Scotland, . This very same dilemma was the main topic for a forum organized by the American Enterprise Institute. This conservative forum of academics and businessmen bemoans the drive towards the finding the biological edge for sports and athletes in general. Gene doping, as it is now [...]

Steroids Provide Health Benefits, Possible?  Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:07:14 +0000

The news media have placed steroid under a dim light—they have constantly portrayed steroids as drugs with dangerous health effects.  For sometime now, steroids have been directly synonymous to muscle growth. People often hear all about the negatives about these drugs—both in broadcast and print media.  But how about the health positives of these drugs, will they forever be ignored? The Exaggeration of News Media to Steroids According to Charles Yesalis, the author and co-author of numerous authoritative steroids books, including The Steroid Game, “The health risks (of steroid) have been greatly overstated. Hypertension, for example, is widely claimed to be a side effect of taking androgens. This is one of the most exaggerated claims. And as for users becoming sterile, there has never been a single reliably documented case of irreversible infertility as a result of androgen administration.” Yesalis also reminded people that the medical science has been safely using steroids for almost 70 years now. “Anabolic steroids can be used relatively safely, but at even low doses they can have side effects. No drug, supplement, or substance is totally ‘safe’. Heck, you can even overdose on water,” he explained. Steroids Certainly Carry Health Benefits Even though there is an apparent abuse on the use of steroids now, it does not precisely mean they no longer carry health benefits. The Medical News Today reviewed the health benefits that can be brought by steroids. One feature posted on this site explained that when swelling threatens to critically harm the body organs, steroids is [...]

10 Do’s and Don’ts of Using Steroids:  Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:06:43 +0000

It is a fact. Hormones play important functions in the body. They regulate vital processes to ensure normal functioning of our system. Too much or too little production of these hormones could lead to disastrous consequences in our life. Oftentimes the effects are fatal. In addition, there are instances when these hormone-producing glands will, for no apparent reason, stop making these crucial substances thereby jeopardizing our health. To illustrate, take for example the hormone cortisol. The adrenal glands produce cortisol which is then secreted into our bloodstream. Unfortunately, there are times when the adrenal glands shrink and could no longer make these important substances.  This will seriously compromise our health. Sometimes, the hormones produced are “premature”, resulting to abnormalities in our body. In rare cases, the adrenal glands are removed by surgery. Indeed, there are various instances when the body fails to make these important hormones. Under these circumstances, you need to take hormone supplement or steroids. Below are some tips to guide you when taking steroids. 1.)  ALWAYS CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR Please know that the medical community view steroids as “medicinal drug” to treat maladies or illness and not just a fad of the moment. Like any “drugs”, its indiscriminate use can put you or your health in jeopardy. It is therefore imperative that you consult your doctor before taking any form of steroids. 2.) TAKE ONLY THE PRESCRIBED DOSAGE The keyword here is “prescribed”. If, after taking the steroids, you still see no significant improvement, or you feel worse, see your [...]
