Stimulating growth in an adolescent

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

I need some guidance on treating a 14 year old boy, who at age 11 was

found to have acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He is in complete remission

for 1 year, and wbc & rbc levels are normal. The problem is that

apparently either the cancer or the chemo has impacted his production or

release of human growth hormone, and he is significantly shorter than his

peers.

 

Any ideas?

PS. The family is against HGH therapy, though we are exploring the

possibility of stimulating HGH production by supplementing 500 mg

arginine tid.
