Bodybuilder Dennis Newman Profile after Leukemia

[contacter]

handsomest man ever in american bodybuilding, dennis newman had all the ingredients for me

[siral000]

growth factors are one of the most important causes of cancer, they literally tell the cells to divide, out of control cell division is the hallmark of cancer. But you also need an oncogene, ie a mutated gene that codes for a growth factor for example, or a receptor etc. any time you introduce exogenous chemicals that work by acting on your DNA, ie steroids, growth hormones, you risk altering those genes and/or amplifying a mutated gene. Still really bad luck for him.

His parents wore t-shirts when he won the Cal: "It's not human, it's Newman!"

Sad, but true.

Chemistry brings big things to life!

[MariaYanagida]

The combination of your God given genetics that has provided success in bodybuilding and being healed of Leukemia is a testimony of God's grace. You are loved and blessed Dennis!

[vegas787]

Even sick, he still looks good!

[dominapaincindy]

im a female powerlifter and i have to go in 2 days to get tested for leukemia i never took any supliment other than creatine and the no2 stuff

[driven6996]

I wonder if there's any sure link between roid use and his leukemia.

[kalel38]

There hasn`t been a case thats linked with steroids and leukemia it was the human form or GH that trigger`d Dennis`s cancer not the steroids.

[KingUser2008]

Man , he looks and talks like Ben Affleck!

[thibaulthalpern]

Is he bodybuilding again?

[silencer303]

He competed in 4 pro shows between 1998 and 2001.

[alphamaleman1]

Hope this guy is still doing well and fighting the good fight. What he as able to accomplish with his body was awesome, steroids or not. I would hope nothing but the best for him.

[bufbarbnaby]

Take roids , get big , die young.

[faraon2012]

ROIDS IS NOT 4 YOUNG PEOPLE......

[Fadjiii]

He got leukemia from the roids. Fell sorry for the dude...

[olympus20002002]

It took steroids and growth hormone to get this A-hole off of it. Yeah, he was natural!

[USNARox2008]

..so a slimmer trimmer Dennis could still model, right? Not that that performance enhancing drugs made him ugly?

Our tanning salon had a HUGE poster of Dennis and I swear the women came by more than once a week to just stare at it and then tan.

[Pig52]

Drug Free was a little SARCASM. THE BOY WAS LOADED and has well and truely Fucked his life.Drugs will do that, Bodybuilding healthy NOT.

[forrest2city]

davidAbb , yea i think so too

[davidABB]

WHO THE FUCK LOOKS LIKE THAT WITH LEUKEMIA,

JUICE SAVED HIM. Imagine Leukemia to a regular person they die fast. He's HEALTHY AS HECK.

[dnewman5025]

As his Father, who cared for him during his illness, I can verify that, yes, Dennis HAD Leukemia. It was because he was so healthy that he recovered from cells taken from his own bone marrow that he has remained cancer free. BTW, thanks urmorph for clarification.

[thibaulthalpern]

Good thing he's okay now, I hope?

[MMAbadboy]

@davidABB , the juice didn't save him nor did it cause the Leukemia.

[KingUser2008]

God bless him, but he must have been using some serious dosage from a young age - then to get leukemia. Using steroids, your body might look cool from the outside, but who knows what is happening on the inside. His body was slowly rotting away. I hope he is doing okay now.

[urmorph]

Just for the record, it's been said that it was not steroids but Human Growth Hormone (AKA Human Somatotrophic Hormone) that triggered Dennis' leukemia. And the word "steroid" refers to a family of chemicals that are structurally related, including some male hormones, some female hormones, cortisone--and cholesterol itself, which is the first of the family discovered.

[kalel38]

Good point GH caused Dennis`s condition i hope he is doing well and every pro learns a lesson from Dennis..

[driven6996]

How do you know that GH caused his condition?

[kalel38]

Because he was using the real GH not the synthetic version thats being used now..For the assholes that gave me 4 thumbs down get the facts straight before you give my review a bad remark..

[MMAbadboy]

@driven6996 , GH doesn't directly cause cancer or Leukemia. However, GH increases tissue, muscle, and cell growth. Therefore, it is a known fact that those who already had cancer and took GH, saw an increase in malignant cancer cells due to the fact that GH increases the production of cells or cancer cells.

[MMAbadboy]

@MMAbadboy yes, for those who will want to point out that Leukemia is a type cancer, yes I do know that. I was simply making reference to any cancer.

[MUSCLEBUTTS]

Never Surrender ! Dennis is a very special being. It's not because of his body that he excells. It's because he has a beautiful attitude and soul.....All the best, Dennis !

[NoeliaCarolDee]

I love him!! The truth about bodybuilding is that is one of the most sacryfying sports, and some people don't understand this because of the lack of true information.

[nesousxlegroupe]

a naturel guy ???

are you joking??

[mycheesesteak]

Some of these guys are very naive.

[Pig52]

What a great story and so good to see a Natural guy competing.

[ionavalanche]

lmao hes not natural, he pumped steroids into his body for over 15 years.

[HughGReqshun]

Dennis is an awesome person & bodybuilder! Perfect lines, symmetry coupled with mass with a tiny waist. . .which is what bodybuilding is 'really' about!

Hugh G. Reqshun

[ionavalanche]

its all about steroids...

[ShockNAweMack]

Dennis is a great guy , I met him as I competed against him in the 1987 Mr Ft Ord Teen

[annette703]

It takes even greater strength to battle leukemia. I wish you victorious.

[mk3906]
