The following is a production of the Conscious Evolution Institute and HGH.TV.
Human growth hormone is illegal if imported into the United States from foreign sources.
An act known as the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, also referred to as FDCA, places
tight restrictions upon the types of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment that can be brought into
the United States.
Under almost all circumstances, it is illegal to import pharmaceuticals that have not been
granted approval by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States.
In addition to this, the FDCA also prevents any drug that has been exported overseas to
be returned to the United States, unless it is returned to the United States by the manufacturer.
There are a few examples where prescription drugs can be brought back into the country
after they have been exported, but under most circumstances, it is illegal for an individual
to bring foreign medications into the United States.
Food and Drug Administration individual importation exceptions.
The FDCA recognizes that there are certain circumstances where a particular unapproved
drug may offer some special benefit to an individual patient.
There are four criteria that must be met for an individual to import a drug not approved
by the FDCA.
1.
The medication is intended for the treatment of a medical condition which cannot be effectively
treated within the United States.
There are many drugs which have been approved in other countries that have yet to fully
pass inspection in the United States.
If a particular drug has the potential to benefit a patient greatly, and there is no
alternative to that medication in the United States, then the drug may be legally imported.
2.
The medication cannot be sold in the United States after it has been imported.
The goal of these exceptions is to allow certain patients that expressly need them to have
access to these medications.
3.
The importation of the drug does not produce any serious or unnecessary risk.
Certain medications may be deemed too dangerous or not worthwhile to the patient.
In these cases, the drug will not be approved for importation.
4.
The patient that plans to import the medication must sign a written affidavit that confirms
in writing that the patient is bringing in the medication for self-treatment and has
no plans to distribute the drug.
The patient must also show proof that a particular physician within the United States will be
monitoring the patient's treatment, or the patient must show proof that he or she initiated
treatment abroad and will be continuing the treatment within the borders of the United
States.
The Food and Drug Administration is the sole arbiter which determines that under which
circumstances a medication can be imported in spite of other FDA regulations.
If all of the above conditions are met, then the patient is allowed to bring in a three-month
supply of the medication for personal use and treatment.
Why is it illegal to import HGH?
Based upon the above criteria, there are a couple of important reasons why it is illegal
to import foreign sources of HGH.
It is illegal to import HGH because human growth hormone is available in the United States,
for patients that have a need deemed appropriate by the FDA.
Although there are certain off-label uses for which human growth hormone shows promise,
HGH can only be prescribed in order to treat legitimate human growth hormone deficiency
or to treat HIV-related muscle wasting.
In the future, additional uses will inevitably be approved, but to this date, the number
of permissible uses is limited.
Another reason why foreign HGH is illegal is because exemptions from the FDCA are intended
to help patients gain access to drug treatments which are not available in the United States,
not to help patients acquire drugs outside of the United States which are accessible
within the nation's borders.
Drug importation is not intended to subvert the FDA approval process.
Schedule 3 HGH
Human growth hormone is considered a Schedule 3 drug in the United States.
There are three criteria for a drug to be considered Schedule 3.
1.
The substance has approved medical uses within the United States.
Human growth hormone is approved within the United States for the treatment of HGH deficiency
and HIV-related wasting.
2.
The substance displays a lower risk of abuse than drugs placed on Schedule 1 or 2.
The FDA feels that human growth hormone has the potential to lead to abuse because of
its potential as a potent performance enhancing drug.
HGH is widely used by bodybuilders, weightlifters, and athletes in order to increase physical
performance in spite of the United States law.
3.
Abuse of the medication or substance is considered to lead to a high degree of psychological
dependence or a low to moderate level of physiological dependence.
It is primarily because of this criteria that human growth hormone should not be considered
a Schedule 3 drug.
Human growth hormone does not produce any form of physical dependence.
In addition to this, HGH injections do not lead to a high level of psychological dependency.
One could argue that the desire for increased physical results for exercise and training
can constitute a minor form of psychological dependency, but men and women that choose
human growth hormone in no way experience high levels of psychological dependence as
a result of their use of HGH.
The risk of HGH importation outweighs the benefits.
It is a risky proposition to illegally import prescription medications into the United States.
There are a number of reasons why we do not recommend attempting to import foreign pharmaceuticals.
1.
It's illegal.
Although there are many foreign sources for human growth hormone, it is against the law
to smuggle outside sources of HGH into the United States.
If you are caught bringing HGH into the United States from a foreign source, you will likely
be charged with a felony and will potentially face large fines or even jail time.
Foreign sources of human growth hormone are often cheaper than those available in the
United States, but no discount is worth the price of a felony on your record.
2.
There is no guarantee of quality.
There are multiple avenues by which human growth hormone is sold to American buyers.
Individuals can cross the border into Tijuana, for example, and purchase the hormone right
off of the shelves of Mexican pharmacies.
There are also countless websites which promise easy access to high-quality HGH from international
sources.
These recognize that the only ultimately guaranteed source of human growth hormone is from a licensed
domestic pharmacy.
Real human growth hormone is very sensitive to outside conditions and tampering.
If the hormone is not cared for in a particular manner, then the HGH that you receive will
either lose potency or be rendered completely ineffective.
Human growth hormone degrades in response to both adverse temperatures as well as physical
agitation.
If you order HGH from an international source, there is no guarantee that they will treat
your medication with the respect it deserves, leaving you fleeced with a worthless product.
Foreign HGH is often fraudulent.
There is absolutely no guarantee that what you pay for is what you will get when you
resort to international sources of growth hormone.
Often, retailers will cut the HGH that you have ordered with other substances which
degrade the quality of your purchase.
In many cases, these hormones are cut with substances that can even be dangerous for
your health.
In other cases, you may actually receive a completely fraudulent product.
Many times, international sellers claim to be selling HGH but actually ship fake human
growth hormone.
Since the transaction is illegal, the con man pockets the cash and you get practically
nothing.
