How can exogenous HGH be useful for healing?

[Titan]

I see human growth hormone on the chronic-illness shop, and heard you mention in passing that it can be used safely in small doses.

Coming from the Peat sphere, I never thought much of it.
Besides, doesn't dryfasting release boatloads of it naturally?

What situations can it be beneficial for?

A dry fast releases HGH to form a protective environmental from protein catabolism / muscle loss, it also helps repair what it can. HGH outside allows you to complete refeeds, therapies like t3, and insulin sensitizing therapies while also getting HGH benefit, which in this case can help repair organs (which sometimes shrink from illness and prolonged ketosis) as well as provide protection from muscle loss when doing a high carb low fat low protein refeed that is geared towards fixing glucose oxidation. During these transition periods there is risk of muscle loss and bone density loss, which is countered by things like K2 (peaty) and hgh
