Human Growth Hormone and Muscle Weakness
Question: I am a polio survivor with PPS. I just read an article on how HGH injections might help with muscle weakness in polio survivors. What is your opinion on that?
Dr. Bruno’s Response: Human Growth Hormone (HGH) was found not to reduce post-polio muscle weakness in a large, well-conducted US/Canadian study in the 1990s. HGH is of no use in PPS.
