Danish researchers proved that HGH can increase recovery for damaged ligaments and torn muscles (1).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">World-famous athletes have used HGH to heal from knee injuries. This includes golfer Tiger Woods, who used the drug from 2008 to 2009 to recover from knee surgery faster (2).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Al-Jabbar used HGH in hopes that he could not only walk normally, but also have an outside chance of playing football again (3). He visited Dr. Allen R. Dunn, a Miami surgeon, every week for two months in order to get HGH injections.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The goal was to re-grow the cartilage in his knee, so that he could regain regular movement. Dr. Dunn started the process by scraping away scar tissue around al-Jabbar's knee. He then administered HGH on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-44555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elitefitness.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/hgh-heal-knee-95x150.jpg\" alt=\"hgh-heal-knee\" width=\"95\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elitefitness.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/hgh-heal-knee-95x150.jpg 95w, https:\/\/www.elitefitness.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/hgh-heal-knee.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 95px) 100vw, 95px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HGH is banned by the NFL and other major sports due to its performance-enhancing capabilities, including fat loss, lean mass gains, and an overall boost in athletic performance (4)(5)(6). But al-Jabbar wasn't technically violating any NFL rules because he was retired. Furthermore, he didn't have any qualms about using the drug from an ethical standpoint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\"The bottom line is we [football players] get beat the hell up,\" he said. \"We need whatever's available to keep ourselves out there.\"<\/p>\n<a name=\"toc-1\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\"><\/a><h2>HGH Wonder Drug<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>HGH Does Wonders for Al-Jabbar....<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After several weeks of HGH treatments, al-Jabbar regained most of the cartilage and function in his knee. He didn't return to NFL athleticism afterward like he'd hoped. But al-Jabbar at least regained the ability to run and jump like a recreational athlete again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is a big achievement for a guy who was having trouble walking without a limp. And the regained function in his knee has enabled al-Jabbar to get into personal training.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elitefitness.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/abdul-karim-al-jabbar-hgh-1.jpg\" alt=\"abdul-karim-al-jabbar-hgh-1\" width=\"300\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elitefitness.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/abdul-karim-al-jabbar-hgh-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elitefitness.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/abdul-karim-al-jabbar-hgh-1-150x133.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As for Dr. Dunn, he's treated hundreds of patients with HGH, including many pro athletes. Al-Jabbar believes that the doctor's HGH treatments can work wonders for patients.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\"I definitely think he's on to something,\" said al-Jabbar. \"It's obvious what growth hormone does. It's just a matter of time before that (procedure) is perfected.\"<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The key takeaway here is that al-Jabbar was a retired football player who had no cartilage in his knee. But thanks to HGH, he's now able to work out to the point where he can be a personal trainer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elitefitness.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/abdul-karim-al-jabbar-hgh.jpg\" alt=\"abdul-karim-al-jabbar-hgh\" width=\"250\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elitefitness.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/abdul-karim-al-jabbar-hgh.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.elitefitness.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/abdul-karim-al-jabbar-hgh-142x150.jpg 142w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That said, HGH is worth considering if you've suffered from a nagging and painful injury throughout your life.
