IGF and antiobiotics

XXXX

New member
So I wanted to see if anyone has any info or opinions on this. Im on antiobiotics for something and wanted to see if I should wait till im off to use my IFG or if it will be ok to use it while im taking antibiotics? I meant to ask my dr but forgot.
Any opinions, research or links?
Any ideas?

I highly doubt your dr. will know anything at all about IGF-1..
personally I cant see how it would make a difference...
 
got my answer

Thats funny you say that, Actually he does. he is an old collegfe training buddy and we used to cycle and lift together. I ended up asking him and he stated to wait till the antibiotics are over before i start IGF again. The reason he gave is that the IGF boosts immune system and can actually see the antibiotics as a foreign substance and attack it inhibiting its effects. he even told me if I was going to do it make sure it was LR3 or I was wasting my money..lol

This doesnt apply for all antibiotics but the ones im taking for an infection will make a difference and could react poorly and not help me at all. My question was answered last night so unless someone wants to use this as an information guide then i guess this thread could be deleted.:thumbsup:
 
IGF attacking the antibiotics, i dont see it sorry. Im also no doctor,lmao so ill have to take his word for it, but i dont realy buy it personaly.
 
He said mine also contains an anti-inflammatory and the use of the combination of the anti-biotic and the anti-inflammatory with the IGF will 1) inhibit the effectiveness of the antibiotics by increasing the body’s' resistance to them by increasing the immune system and inhibiting the effects of the antibiotics 2) IGF can also be used as an anti-inflammatory however it is most effective in joints and not in adipose tissue (where I have some swelling) or anything not joint related. So by using it with my anti-inflammatory I’m actually not hurting myself but not letting the medicine is as effective as it could be without taking anything else and risking the possibility of not letting the antibiotics work to heal my infection.

I don’t understand it all myself and I’m sure he gets tired of explaining it to me or answering all my questions but he said to wait and its only 10 days’ worth of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory mix so I can be patient and let it do its job.

I do agree with you Presser with everything i have read i never heard of what he is talking about, however I know he would not tell me what i want to hear and since he is an old friend he is just looking out for me and what he as a professional knows is best based on the information he has. I would believe a guy with a background in Endocrinology, metabolism, nutrition and internal medicine and sports medicine and general family practice. He knows more than I do and it cost me a lot to go see him so I could keep it off my insurance records
 
I, too, don't see how IGF-1 can lead the body into attacking an antibiotic substance which it completely unlike a virus or bacteria. It's just a chemical really. I would think that increasing the body's immune response would only help the antibiotics do their job.

Normally, I might believe a doc with a background in endocrinology, etc., but my last endo was a complete total waste of my time and money. He didn't really know what he was talking about with respect to my hypoglycemia or HRT treatment and only wanted to save his own ass. That being said, not all docs are the same so I can understand if you trust your doctor friend, but as far as inhibiting the effects of an antibiotic, I would have to see a study on that first, and I'm pretty sure there aren't any considering IGF-1 is still relatively new.
 
No disrespect meant here but the more I think about it i would have to say it's absolutly not possible for igf to do this. I don't see it attacking anything at all honestly.
 
So after digging and asking around I agree with you guys it does not attack anything, howeverwhat i did find and was told by several (including my old biology teacher) it simply builds the bodys' ability to form a resistance to it so it doesnt work effectively. I read a few research articles on it, maybe thats what he meant but I do agree with you guys it doesnt get attacked in the body. My antibiotics are working well and after im done with them i will try the ifg and see if its as good as everyone says it is. I would like to find some long term studies on it all i can find is short term unless your a mouse then there are long term studies but they all seem very positive. From what I have read over 200 different articles and it is suppossed to boost your immune system so I dont agree with it developing a resistance to antibiotics as well. i guess even some doctors are full of shit.

Good shit bro! Most new guys here would have stuck to thier claim rather then admit they had faulty info! and i know it wasnt ur info anyways and just ur dr's info he told you about, but still I cant tell ya how many times guys . especialy new ones will live and die by their claims,lol, Kudos to you brutha
