"hGH the ultimate anti-oxidant?

According to Doctors Thierry Hertaghe and Vince Giampapa the latest European research indicates hGH and IGF-1 can go beyond the current antioxidant based anti-aging remedies in slowing, preventing and reversing aging at the cellular level.

Grace Wong of Genentech has shown that as we age cell proteins, as well as the DNA and RNA that provide the blueprint for making protein and other needed cell constituents, suffer ever accumulating damage.

A major cause of this age related cellular degradation is the ever-increasing incidence of free radicals released during normal cellular activity. These free radicals activate protease's, destructive enzymes that damage and degrade essential cell proteins and structures.

Antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, SOD, etc., can reduce cellular levels of free radicals and thus reduce activation of the damaging proteases.

But hGH can actually activate a cellular defense force of protease inhibitors. Thus, even if high levels of free radicals can’t be avoided, the protease inhibitors prevent the free radicals from triggering cell destructive proteases.


Thus Hertoghe and Giampapa note that hGH and IGF-1 can do what antioxidants cannot. Antioxidants can only reduce damage to already existing cell proteins and structures. hGH and IGF-1 help pull into the cell the nutrients needed to repair renovate and rebuild cellular structures. IGF-1 can even deliver nucleic acids (the building blocks of the genes) right into the protected citadel of the cell nucleus, where the DNA and genes, which direct our cellular architecture, reside.

Thus unlike antioxidants, hGH and IGF-1 don’t just reduce cellular damage, they actively promote the healing and regeneration of aging cells."




Now how can this be a good thing, when protease enzymes are extremely good for us, and actually greatly help to heal cancer but eating the thick protein shells away from cancer cells that are protecting them from being recognized and killed by our immune system? Proteases are proteolytic enzymes and if you know anything about health or nutrition, or do a google search on them, you will know how beneficial they are to us and our health. Enzymes target and destroy only substances that are harmful to the body, while leaving healthy cells alone.



"Proteolytic enzymes such as protease break down protein. Taken with meals, protease enhances the breakdown and assimilation of dietary proteins. When proteolytic enzymes are taken between meals they go about the business of cleaning up the bloodstream and tissues of foreign proteins including pathogenic bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungal strains that cause respiratory illness and Candida. Viruses are encapsulated by a protein coating that enables them to attach to and invade healthy cells. Proteolytic enzymes can digest this protective protein coating and render viruses inert and harmless to the body. Cancer cells also have a protein coating that is vulnerable to proteolytic enzymes. This is possible due to the lock and key mechanism that ensures that enzymes target and destroy only substances that are harmful to the body, while leaving healthy cells alone. Proteolytic enzymes also reduce the pain, redness and swelling of inflammation by targeting and eating away at the excess circulating immune complexes (CIC’s), or prostaglandins, that perpetuate the inflammation."




So maybe i am missing something here, and please correct me if i am wrong, but what is going on with HGH inhibiting these protease enzymes that are so beneficial and important to our health? Mabye this is one of the reasons why HGH can make cancer grow and stop cancer cells in our bodies from being destroyed, and multiply it?
