The only acceptable treatment for celiac disease is strict adherence to a 100% gluten-free diet for life. That measure can prevent almost all complications caused by disease – without medication – as small intestine will steadily heal and start absorbing needed nutrients and, therefore, eliminate painful symptoms.

But a gluten-free diet is not easy. It means avoiding all products that contain wheat, rye, and barley or any of their derivatives. That challenge can prove to be a daunting task as many hidden sources of gluten are found in ingredients of several processed foods. However, health rewards are tremendous.

Being diagnosed with celiac is a life-changing experience. Imagine having to give up bread, pasta, and beer among other things. Where can you go out to eat? Where can you vacation? Where can you find substitutes for foods you crave? The doctors will not have answers to these questions. The best source of information on living with celiac is hearing from others who have “been there, done that.”

If you have been suffering from intestinal problems and have not gotten relief, find out all you can about celiac disease. Educate your doctor about it. It can be diagnosed with a simple blood test. There are many support groups across country and several books that can give you information and put you on road to recovery.

Remember, relief may be just a change of diet away.

Everyone naturally secretes HGH in their bodies from day they are born with levels reaching their peak in body during adolescence, which then slowly decreases with age. As we get older, HGH continues to slowly decline to point where body makes a small fraction of what it did at age of 20. This deprives body of what it needs for tissue, bone and muscle regeneration. This depletion of HGH is soon recognized by familiar signs of aging, such as increased body fat, lack of vitality and energy, decreased muscle mass, wrinkling of skin, poor immune health and poor general health.

Can Regenatropin™ and DHEA Truly Combat Father Time?

A few years ago, an article in New England Journal of Medicine reported opinion that most effective anti-aging remedy for slowing (or reversing) aging process would be to replenish growth hormones to proper levels. As a result, anti-aging specialists turned to a variety of natural secretagogue hormone replacement therapies. Perhaps most promising of them all is Regenatropin™. This popular "anti-aging" product combines large doses of growth hormone-releasing amino acids with latest advances in secretagogue nutrient technology. The clinical research findings on Regenatropin™ have been truly astonishing.

Another supplement that has shown great promise is DHEA. There is now strong evidence that DHEA is an “anti-aging” hormone for some people. A recent study in Journal of American Medical Association (2004; 292:2243–8) showed that supplementing with DHEA can partially reverse accumulation of abdominal fat and insulin resistance that frequently accompanies advancing age. Previous research has supported findings that DHEA can improve bone density, muscle mass, strength, skin texture, libido, and erectile function in older people.

More and more research is being conducted into process of aging and ways in which process can be slowed. Through extensive research, scientists continue to find many positive results from HGH replacement therapy and its promising ability to successfully combat degenerative aging process.
