I have a client that is HIV-positive and for the past year, he was unable to get his HGH because the government made it so hard to get. It was pretty shitty.

yes, but I think it has more to do with controlling money, they don't give a shit about us.

what I mean is IF the government really cared about our health tobacco would be illegal, that is just one obvious example I could give many.

There were reasons for that.

Serostim (HGH) on Black Market for Body Builders

Serostim (HGH) on Black Market for Body Builders

Quote:
Daily News (New York City) (06.02.03)::Thomas Zambito

Serostim, a drug used to counteract wasting in AIDS patients, has become one of the hottest sellers on New York's multimillion-dollar black market in prescription drugs. Especially popular among bodybuilders, Serostim - one of the most expensive AIDS drugs on the market - works by mimicking natural human growth hormone and adds pounds of muscle in a few months.

"Drug diversion schemes are a nationwide problem that not only robs the city, the state and federal government of millions of dollars each year but places the public in jeopardy," said New

York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer. According to estimates by Spitzer's office, fraudulent sales of Serostim and other prescription drugs amounted to 10 percent of the state's $3 billion Medicaid drug tab last year. "If you were to make a list of the top 10 diverted drugs, Serostim would be at the top and it would make up 40 to 50 percent of the cost of all diverted drugs," said Ken Karp, an investigator with Spitzer's Medicaid fraud control unit.

Despite efforts by Serostim's maker and law enforcement to ensure it only goes to patients who need it, the drug remains plentiful in the city's gyms. "Every topnotch bodybuilder in the world uses it," said Dave Palumbo, editor-in-chief of the muscle magazine RxMuscle and a champion bodybuilder. And AIDS patients are often the suppliers, according to some of New York's leading AIDS doctors. One Manhattan physician told of an AIDS patient who sold his supply to pay the rent.
Investigators with the US attorney's office in Boston are questioning whether the maker of Serostim, Swiss-based Serono Laboratories, promoted the drug for AIDS patients who were losing weight but may not have been experiencing AIDS wasting, which causes the body to consume muscle and organ tissue rather than stored fat. In response to complaints that doctors were incorrectly prescribing the drug, the New York Health Department began requiring physicians last year to get state approval prior to prescribing it. To counter fraud, Serono revamped its distribution network to track the drug from the warehouse to the patient, resulting in a drop in sales from $124 million in 2001 to $95 million in 2002.
