ViVeSciences, LLP provides Vanity Hormones that may allow you to feel better about your life, your body and your future with a very low risk of harm to you in any way. All medications are double-edged swords but there has been over 20 years experience with most of the hormones prescribed by ViVeSciences with only minor complaints alleviated by adjusting the dosage.

ViVeSciences, LLP provides new uses for hormones and medications that have been on the market for many years, but until now were unavailable or very expensive.

Unlike changing your appearance by using implants and injected materials surgery and toxins, Vanity Hormones is a relatively new science and involves the use of hormone balancing to improve your appearance and feeling of well being. Human Growth Hormone may make you feel better about yourself and your body.

A recent study from Stanford University involving the Meta-analysis of all the scientific articles published to date appeared in the Annals of Internal Medicine. This study described Human Growth Hormone as not a performance enhancing drug, but it did say that many patients lost fat and gained muscle and they felt they looked better.

Although there is beauty in everyone and some beauty is only skin deep, changing your appearance to others may be of benefit in your life.

Hormones generally are small molecules and are digested if taken by mouth. Growth hormone must be given by injection and many of the male and female sex hormones are applied directly to the skin for absorption, some are applied directly to the genital area to increase their effects on the target organs without affecting the rest of the body.

Sex Hormones, Growth Hormones, Vanity Hormones, and other replacement therapies for patients with documented deficiencies are now available conveniently all over Texas today, and elsewhere in the future from ViVeSciences.

Hormone therapy:

Before seeing the doctor, you will need to have a blood test that takes about 3 hours done at Quest Diagnostics in your neighborhood. You must be over 30 years old for testing. We will arrange for you to have the test. You will need to take a small amount of medication during the test. Medication will be sent to you and the test scheduled after you provide us with general health information and credit card information. This testing costs $995.00, and will determine if you are a candidate for growth hormone replacement.
The $995.00 fee is not refundable nor usually covered by insurance. I know this seems unfair to pay for a test which may exclude you from treatment, but it is common to pay for tests that show you do not need treatment for a problem the test proves you do not have.
You may call 832-222-3000 for more information and to schedule an appointment.
You must have SKYPE installed on your computer and a camera for interviewing and test monitoring. SKYPE is free.
Doctor's fees associated with hormone therapy run $2,500.00 per year of $750.00 per quarter year. Spouses are covered at a 75% discount. You will receive therapy only while you are under the doctors care, and your doctor's fee is current. A discount is available for special situations, and those who are already receiving similar therapy elsewhere.
Grow Hormone is selling for about $6,000.00 per year at various pharmacies throughout the US.
Everyone treated with hormone therapy must have a documented defficiency or other evidence of need to replenish the hormone prescribed and must cooperate with the physician

What others have said about Human Growth Hormone:

While some stories have noted the many negative effects of anabolic steroids, we have not seen any explanation as to why taking "natural" human growth hormone is not indicated in those with proven deficiency. Growth hormone is necessary for children in particular, and many successful adults are also taking growth hormone.
Important FDA-approved indications for replacing growth hormone include failure to grow due to lack of growth hormone and the HIV-associated wasting syndrome. Recently, documented, symptomatic growth hormone deficiency has become an indication for treatment after alternative reasons for a patient’s symptoms have been evaluated.
Despite the relative rarity of these problems, there are nine formulations of growth hormone on the market today, and all list diabetes, leukemia, muscle aches and pain, headache, weakness, stiffness and swelling of male breasts as potential side effects, as well as insomnia, nausea, fatigue, increased blood fats, hypothyroidism, pancreatitis and differences in ability with sex and excessive sweating. Every manufacturer recommends periodic safety monitoring of blood sugar, thyroid blood tests, fat blood tests and heart exams and monitoring other parameters.
Not a single clinical trial has effectively demonstrated that the metabolic effects of growth hormone, even including a temporary increase in lean body mass, has resulted in improved performance. The view of some athletes that a few injections of the hormone might have beneficial effects on sore arms has never been rigorously tested, but is very unlikely to be true. Our young athletes need to be warned that large muscles are not good muscles, and that these problems are not rare "side effect" but the natural consequence of excess growth hormone, a hormone that affects almost every tissue, not just muscles.
Taking any form of growth hormone in the hope of improved athletic performance is misinformed. Sophisticated testing including provocative testing will be done in addition to a complete medical evaluation will be performed on all prospective patients. Proof of growth hormone deficiency will be necessary for any patients seeking therapy with growth hormone. All hormones will only be prescribed for a documented deficiency, or strong clinical indications.
Growth Hormone evaluation, therapy and medication cost about $10,000.00 per year with additioal hormones costing about $1200.00 per year. Other additional hormone therapy without growth hormone costs about $2500.00 per year.
Additional laboratory testing may be necessary at additional cost but no additional medical fees will be charged. Some people may pay more and some less depending on their medical condition and other needs. Some laboratory work may be required at additional cost. Patients will be required to have periodic additional testing at their expense to rule out cancer and heart disease and other medical conditions at the sole discretion of the doctor, when indicated.
At any time the physician or the patient feels continued therapy is not in the patient's best interest, treatment will be discontinued and a prorated amount of money based on $250.00 per month for medical care used wll be refunded. Medication will not be refunded
Patients' medical record will be available on line to each patient and will always belong to the patient. A copy will be kept by the clinic for at least five years, but will be available only to the patient to do with what he /she wishes.
If patients have any chronic diseases they must consult with specialists in those fields to manage those problems
No physicians' statement will be prepared for insurance companies for growth hormone, and HCFA1500 forms will be rendered for sex hormones.
Under no condition will any payment be accepted from insurance companies and all fees must be paid in advance of service rendered.
Only FDA approved hormones will be prescribed Foreign and internet pharmacies may sell non-FDA approved drugs and will NOT be used by ViVe Sciences.
