Growth Hormone Secretagogues & Tissue Healing

[@MG-uf8jn]

The last two minutes blew my mind. Makes perfect sense. Excellent video. Excellent seminar.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Thanks for watching until the end!

[@tmo.48]

Just take mph brand secretagogue from vitamin shop. I am small so I take half the tube. I am 63 y.o. female, 115 lbs. Did wonders for me about 7 years ago and started taking it again for a different issue. Maybe if I had been more faithful with it during those 7 years I may not of had to go through what I am going through. 🙃

verry helpful

[@cptspok]

can you pls provide the name of the publication showing the colored curves of GHRH and GHRP ....and the synergistic effect...thanks

[@zaklay9399]

Great video Doc! Do you have a preferred secretagogue that could help heal a partial tear in my elbow? I've tried Pharma grade subq BPC157 and PRP injections with minimal success.

[@captmorgan2063]

If taken first thing after waking in morning how long to be able to eat breakfast , 30 minutes ok?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Yep 30 minutes is perfect

Doc I have Endometriosis please what can’t recommend for me 🙏🙏

sorry I can't give you medical advice as 1) I'm not your doctor and 2) I don't treat endometriosis sorry

Hi doc! Thanks for the video. When you said “bodybuilder level peptides” are very expensive, can you tell me for a basic HRT replacement simply to feel better, more vitality etc is this expensive also? I am pretty disappointed when I contacted a local clinic here in NC. They told me the peptide therapy is $1000 every 3 months plus doctors fees and blood work. They don’t take insurance. Can you tell me if you guys take insurance or if anyone can treat with peptides in general (HG and otherwise)? Or is out of pocket the only option? I would love to do this for my life and well being but I am at a loss because of the expense. Am I out of luck at this time? Thanks! Gary

[@DrewTimmermansND]

We don't accept insurance. Peptides are all out of pocket at the moment, but you may be able to find a doctor who accepts insurance who can help you with HRY (testosterone replacement, DHEA, etc.) which may help you feel better.

[@markbalogh9655]

I've read a article that someone made a pregnenolone cream and rubbed it on the testicles directly to bypass the stomach and can increase testosterone high red light therapy on the testicles was a interesting one too

Is there any way to lower somatostatin levels ?

[@ZacharyVanDyke]

So why couldnt you just take synthetic HGH, not at a body bulder dose but at low constant dose. Would this bit provide a healing effect if what your trying to do here is have the body produce more HGH

[@DrewTimmermansND]

I mean you could, if you can legally get it and pay the much higher prices. But, there are many different isoforms of GH, and when you dose with GH you only get the single form found in the GH product. When you use secretagogues, you still get all of the natural isoforms.

Hey, I'm suffering a back injury I have herniated disc and am unable to work. Will this help me heal? Did it help you heal???

So let’s say I have an inflammation in my supraspinatus tendon, can I use mk677 as a HGH secretagogue to help improve collagen synthesis?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

I havent used a ton of mk677 clinically as we use cjc/ipa combo almost exclusively. At the end of the day if you can get igf1 and endogenous gh levels up, you have a postulated positive effect on collagen synthesis and therefore potential for healing.

[@Messimo-Il-Predestinato]

@@DrewTimmermansND yeah I understand, thanks. I’m currently running BPC-157, there’s some studies done on oxandrolone(anavar) in the healing effect on burned skin victims. As you know skin and tendons are both primarily collagen type-1. If oxandrolone can increase the collagen synthesis in the skin in theory it should also apply to the tendons right? I’m figuring out what to stack in order to heal like Wolverine.

[@nolifenobeisbol606]

I am 52 years old. How much GH can I secret at my age? Will these secretagogue help ?

[@brbjk.m.846]

There are 1000’s of people saying sermorelin worked great for them. Do you have to take them together?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Sermorelin is decent, but it's far inferior when you compared it to taking cjc without dac and ipamorelin together

[@brbjk.m.846]

@@DrewTimmermansND sounds good. So now another daily injection!!! 😂

[@rickycarfan54]

why it would be better to use this peptides instead of injecting directly growth hormone itself?

[@timotheecena5951]

How long are you running these before a break? Also, is it different if only 5 days a week vs 7 days a week for how long you can use straight?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Yes if we do 5 days a week we can run it way longer as we're getting breaks on a weekly basis. In some cases we can run for 6-12 months depending on the patient, their labs, and symptoms.

[@unbakablemuffin4029]

Is Ghrp dangerous for people under 26 years of age? I saw another video that briefly mentioned it could affect some mechanism if you’re under 26, but they never elaborated.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

I have never seen that in the research or clinically

[@unbakablemuffin4029]

Drew Timmermans, ND thank you 🙏

[@DrewTimmermansND]

My pleasure

[@wyngreece7]

excellent explanation.. I've read a lot of people said, that taking more than 100mcg of cjc 1295, has a litle inpact, and its a waste of money. With ipamorelin, the more u take, stronger the effects But after your explanation, i am thinking, thats this aplies to a single dose. So if you take 2 or 3 doses a day, you are gonna get this pulse anyway. Am i right?

[@jaredprofits]

what happens if you stop taking it ? any negative effects? Also any long term effects?

[@brandolifts7928]

Great info 👍

[@sk-hv5gj]

Hey doc, i have heard that this gh release secteagog affect insulin resistance ,is it true?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

They can if abused, but it's extremely hard to abuse these as they are not overriding your body's ability to produce GH, they are just causing you to release the GH you've made. The insulin resistance is seen much more from GH, not the secretagogues

[@simonstone7099]

Would secretagogues still work in the presence of exogenous HGH? So someone could maximise their endogenous production with the secretagogues but then top up their GH even further with exogenous? If this wouldn't work, then what is the reasoning? Could you use the secretagogues first and then 30 mins later add exogenous hgh? If you used exogenous HGH first and then tried using the secretagogues 30 mins later would they work?

[@markbalogh9655]

is cjc ipamorelin combo a good hgh peptide for organ healing? im trying to heal all my organs like brain eye ears heart

[@DrewTimmermansND]

I don't think that would be my first choice tbh. Depending on the situation, I'd look more into BPC-157, epitalon, semax, selank, and dihexa. In our clinic we would also consider using Senotherapeutics such as fasting, rapamycin, TA65 and spermidine

[@totallyraw1313]

Drew, do you think that adults who have an age related GH deficiency should use a GHRH+GHRP instead of GH itself because GHRH+GHRP more closely mimics natural physiology?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Yep i sure do. There is some atrophy of somatrotrophic cells as we age, so sometimes older patients don't see the responses we want. Be we still start with that

[@totallyraw1313]

@@DrewTimmermansND Ok thanks. Do you think that GH injections that some older people take could actually accelerate aging, not slow it down because it shuts down natural GH production and results in a long slow release of GH instead of the natural short pulses of GH?

Hi doc what are your thoughts on Mk677 for tissue healing? It's the only thing I can afford that too for a low dosage of 10mg per day. I live in 3rd world country where these items are either unavailable or extremely expensive.
