Had Lyme, Bartonella was very sick
Did 4.5 years of IV antibiotics but nothing worked
Had heart damage
Did peptides, stem cells, exosomes and ozone therapies
Has a practice where he sees the sick of the sick
What Are Peptides?
Chains of amino acid less than 50 amino acids
They have been found to be very beneficial
Peptides can help optimize body, longevity and help very sick patients
How Peptides Can Help Heal Your Body
Immune dysfunction happens with aging
Cells become dysfunctional: old, their mitochondria don’t produce enough energy and create inflammatory cytokines
Immunosenescence causes intracellular immune problems
Thymus reduces in size as we get older, thus reducing immunity
Chronic illnesses are growing in number
Peptides to Help Improve Immune Function
Thymic peptides help restore thymus function
Thymosin Alpha 1: approved in 20 countries for cancer treatments and infections. Is an injection.
Thymosin Beta-4: modulates both Thymosin Alpha 1 and 2. Is an injection.
Thysomin Beta 4 fragments can be taken orally and can improve immune system. TB 4 can reverse diabetic kidney disease, inflammation, fibrosis, fatty liver and more
Thymulin is anti-inflammatory
Thymogen is a very small immune modulator
BPC 157 was discovered in the gut, but also helps heal and lower TH2
BPC 157 can be given orally or as an injection
Peptides for Anti-Aging
Epithalon or Pinealion
Controls hypothalamus and pituitary gland which control all the hormones
Brings melatonin levels back to youthful levels
Lowers inflammation in the hypothalamic, pituitary axis
Increases telomere length and makes the cells younger so they can divide for longer
Improves cardiovascular health, reduces strokes and heart attacks
Epithalon + Thymosin had an even better response with regards to cardiovascular system
Peptides for Skin Health
GHK-CU is a tri-peptide that transports copper into the cells
Increases collagen, hair growth and more
Rejuvenates skin from the outside
Peptides for Brain Function
Dr. Holtorff had lyme and lot of conditions
Cerebralysin - small porcine peptide that has been available for 40 years
TB4, BPC has also shown to reduce traumatic brain injury
SEMAX, SELINK - shown to improve connections in the brain, helps with brain fog, memory decline, attention and ADHD
SEMAX is more activating whereas SELINK helps the body deal with stress
Peptides for Mitochondrial Health
MOTS-C is being used for depression and anxiety and helps improve mitochondrial function
5-amino-1-MQ is another which also helps improve cosmetic functions
Humanin also helps with diabetes, brain function and more
Lots of trials in the mitochondrial peptides space

Damm docs skin is looking amazing! Would love to know what he is using. I'm currently using bcp157 and TB-500 for a torn ligament and I've noticed so far that my skin has gone really smooth 👌 lets hope that my torn ligament heals 🙏

What are the peptides sourced from? Ball park price range please? Where to buy them?

[@AntiAgingHacks]

You can look up peptidesciences.com or canlab over in canada.

[@christaggart5164]

How long can you take peptides - such as BPC 157? Is there a time limit for how long someone should take them or a safety concern after a certain amount of time?

[@AntiAgingHacks]

Since peptides are so new, we don't have long term studies on their safety. I recommend using peptides like BPC-157 as a swat team for specific injuries or health concerns but then taking a pause after a little while. There have been yearslong studies done on peptide bioregulators, I am about to post an interview on those little peptides shortly - so those might be safer long term. But again, very little data to make any argument here.

[@christaggart5164]

@@AntiAgingHacks thanks for the reply. what about side effects getting off of them? For example... HCG was a thing awhile ago and the backlash of getting off it was massive weight gain. Are there potential effects from getting off BPC or TB4?

[@AntiAgingHacks]

@@christaggart5164 my understanding is that these are like SWAT teams, you use them for a little bit and get off them right away. The peptide bioregulators you can take for much longer because they are so small and safer. Check out my latest video, it has the info on your question :).

Most people with experience with BPC think 2 months on 1 off is prudent to avoid down regulation.

Do you know any studies that talk about the treatment of polyneuropathy with bpc 157? I know it protects against neurotoxins, drugs, etc. But I don't care. What I mean is the formation of new neural structures or at least the treatment of damaged nerves, as is the case in, for example, alcohol plineuropathy or polyneuropathy, etc., doctors say straight out that polyneurathy cannot be cured, only symptoms can be alleviated. I don't give a shit, they don't give a damn about patients too, I don't want to live the rest of my life with sensory disorders.

Why, then, did the founder of these all-powerful peptides not reach eighty, but promised that we would all live 120 with this panacea?

[@AntiAgingHacks]

Life is still a mystery :), so many things can go wrong. And of course all these therapies are experimental, there is no guarantee at all.

[@AlGollas]

Sounds like people could be wasting their money on peptides as the doctor says they are hard to absorb.

[@AntiAgingHacks]

yes most are hard to absorb through the gut. That's why many people inject the peptides subcutaneously to avoid the gut.
