Peptometry

Injects first ever dose of MOTS-c (1 mg) 5 min later - tongue starts to swell + throat tigthens + flushes. Drives himself to the ED. IV Benadryl. Careful out there, friends.

People don't realize how dangerous this peptide moment is. There are millions of people taking untested drugs with no manufacturing standards. This is far worse than Thalidomide.

some people have been asking what i mean by "turbo cancer" when i talk about BPC157. maybe you've heard of the term "turbo charger" for cars? they help make an engine run harder by injecting more air into the cylinders. more air + more fuel = more power angiogenic agents (like BPC157) are premised on increasing blood vessel formation to tissues via VEGFR2 stimulation. this would in theory help ligaments, tendons, and muscles. the problem is that this would also happen to every other tissue type that has the receptor, which is basically everywhere in the body. it is not specific to the tissues you want it to help when you take it. this also means that if you have a budding bit of cancer in you (which many young people do these days) taking BPC157 is like sticking a turbocharger on it and letting it rip. there are many problems with the pharmacology of BPC157, but this one is special. would you make cancer grow faster in your body to help your sprained ankle heal a bit faster? You could be shaving years off your own life by dealing with chemo and other treatments early in life (in your prime years) instead of maybe never dealing with it at all! This is what I mean by informed consent. if you know that's the trade you're making, and you accept, go ahead. your body your choice. smokers can choose to look cool and suck some nicotine in exchange for higher lung cancer risk. people can join the military and get paid/ defend their country knowing they might die. life is full of these choices. the point is having informed consent, which is often absent from the peptide debate. personally i find most people talking up these agents have the luxury of seeking high cost care should their decisions blow up in their face. not everyone is so lucky.

Hmmm BPC-157 promotes angiogenesis … the formation of new blood vessels. This is essential for healing, as it brings blood supply to injured tissue. That parts true and often cited. But there’s a significant downside: angiogenesis is also a hallmark of cancer. If you have any dormant, undiagnosed cancer cells, a pro-angiogenic compound could theoretically accelerate their growth and spread. This is a case where the precautionary principle is warranted, not just regulatory conservatism.
