Suggest The Side Effects Of Human Growth Hormone Diet
My best friend was just diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer.She has been on the human growth hormone diet several years ago and is 51 and her kidney numbers came back at 50%. Has not started chemo or radiation. Could that diet cause kidney problems?

Good day,
Could you elaborate on growth hormone diet?? Has she taken any growth hormone treatment? Growth hormone can promote growth of tumors and in the presence of breast cancer, it should never be given. I guess you mean to say her kidney function( glomerular filtration ) is only 50%. Some diet which contains heavy metals ( including some raw herbs) can actually damage the kidneys.
