HGH can indeed affect the size of your noggin. The hormone, which is produced by the pituitary gland, normally stimulates bone and tissue growth throughout the body. If there's too much of it, the body starts to develop an abnormal amount of flesh and bone. This affects the entire body to some degree, but in some places the chemical receptors tend to be especially sensitive. In an adult, very large doses of HGH can cause the skull to thicken and the forehead and eyebrow ridge to become especially prominent. Hands and feet also grow out of proportion with the rest of the body.

OK, I had to have a look 'cause last time I saw this thread title it was a year or more ago! While I don't think the theory holds any merit, I think it is one of the funnier thread titles around. LMMFAO! but seriously ....

Yes it is a funny thread, but what is even funnier is that as rediculous as the original concept is, still the usual crowd had to turn up to try to discredit it. It was like a call went out and they were mobilized.

actually, acromegaly, gigantism, will cause a skull to increase in size. I know an ex Aus track athlete who coached in a China sports institute, they have about 50 one in each principality. He had some interesting things to say about Lie Xiang the 110 hurdler China had their myth stocks behind for Beijing. If you look at Xiang and Houston baller Yao Ming, Chinese preparatores definitely had these guys on programs with heaps of growth in them.

forum member Glenn Wilson posted this link before on a healthy person, who had his pituitary gland grow a tumor and excrete growth

was diagnosed with a condition called acromegalia and rushed into surgery at Royal Melbourne Hospital in 1999. A tumour resting on the pituitary gland at the base of his brain was secreting huge amounts of human growth hormone.
The slow-progressing condition was causing a wide range of problems: pins and needles in his arm, bowel trouble, kidney problems and migraines. It also enlarged his hands, feet and nose, as well as his skull, brow and jaw.

this is what the guy looks like, post gh. Looks like a UFC fighter, with the sharp cheekbones and jawline.

this is the UFC fighter Chael Sonnen who called out Armstrong for doping, then got popped for a steroid a few months later, lolz. Also was considering a run for the Minnesota legislature. Sorry, Oregon, not the beaver state.

The Hobbit's head does seem to grow bigger with each and every year.

Like Bilbo, Frodo has been corrupted by the magical power of the syringe. Less of a Hobbit and more of an orc these days working for Sauron Aldag.

If someone could find some better head shots...

I know he's aged (5 years) but his eyes seem to be vanishing back into his skull. (Brow moving forward) and his chin seems to have grown quite a bit.

Some of the same things were discussed a few years ago on Usenet regarding Armstrong. Hgh abuse leading to Acromegaly. There have been anecdotal reports from the past ten years of riders needing dental surgery due to jaw growth as well as foot problems due to growth.

As part of the human passport, the UCI should start taking measurements.

Frodo of course being one such rider who had 'dental problems' last year.

I didn't want to mention the Uniballer because it means that the thread gets derailed by trolls. But you are correct. The Uniballer's head is so big he looks more like Beavis

How the heck did a thread about the suspicious growth in Alberta's head devolve into attacks on LA? And uni-baller at one point was a banned term on these forums. Making fun of a cancer survivor is remarkably low class. Even for the Pistooleras.

u cant be serious.

Like Gunderson likes to tell us, there are 50 million cancer survivors, so he needs to do his awareness to tell those 50 million, they had cancer, and he is willing to take their money.

So, these targets are off limits for humour and polemic?

Phooey/

We are equal opportunity opprobrium spewers, and if Frodo gets cancer, we wont be stopping throwing krap on him neither :p
