I'm not going to pretend to understand the physiology behind peptides. I understand the psychology of the people selling them, though, and I wouldn't trust them to care for a cockroach.
I am accumulating a stack of books, which I intend to make full use of, Unbekoming, and thank you. I have a brother who has obediently taken every medication the doctor has told him he NEEDS. The odd bit about that, is that he is 1.5 years YOUNGER than I am, looks 10 years older than his stated age, while I am 1.5 years older than he is, I take zero meds, and look decades younger than my age. I am using those books, Unbekoming, to make my case. I am hoping to preserve his life span, although I am wary about the success probability, because he did take the Covid jabs, and states that "the vaccine saved [his] life", of course, he has no evidence of this assertion, other than the fact that he is still obviously alive. All of his close associates are obese and sick, his father-in-law died suddenly of cancer, and he begged me not to tell his wife, who demanded everyone be jabbed, all about what I know to be true about the Covid fraud, the sky rocketing death toll, and the sudden stage 4 cancers appearing since the "vaccine" roll out. I was told recently by a preceptor for community nursing, over coffee, that I should be lecturing people full time over these issues about vaccines, meds, and iatrogenic harms. Thank you for the valuable education.
If they couldn’t get you to inject yourself to prevent “illness” they switched to entice you with being thin. Vanity is much harder to resist. I knew it was bad from day one, just more ways to kill the useless eaters.
Thanks for all the research you have done to enlighten others. I am forwarding it on. I have absolutely no desire to use a lab-created product to inject into my bloodstream....It goes against the Creator who made five layers of skin to protect the human bloodstream from being contaminated. I will stick to my natural foods...which have helped me get to my Perfect Weight...and nourished my body giving me energy and good health in my nineties.
Most excellent. Many thanks! Have been curious and looking into where they are sourced from and these concerns for a while. As usual, your elaborate essays are so thorough and refreshingly straightforward.
I am wondering what the future of peptides will be. Obviously we are just at the very beginning and there are grifters trying to hustle some money before everything gets regulated somehow. If someone could safely take a peptide for a short duration or periodically for example thyreogen, which would correct a condition such as hypothyroidism by inducing one's own gland to perform rather than taking a drug everyday for the rest of their life which simply adds thyroid to a system and basically kills one's own thyroid functioning, I could see this as being a useful product. I definitely agree that we need to have standardized purity and 'know' what is actually in the product we are taking, but is that true about anything really? Everything we do and eat and take is somewhat of a risk because we don't know how it is interacting within our own Terrain or what is actually in most everything, including whole foods.
Agree!! Please do! I have been on them for many months and I'm still conflicted as I don't take anything else....but they do help for a few important things...
Well, there’s more, too. Progesterone ‘balances’ or metabolizes excess estrogen, and xeno-estrogens - ie, fake or mimic estrogens from plastics (that can cause ‘man boobs’ as I understand it). Dr. Lee said he found it effective in about 80% of male patients for enlarged prostrate, as I recall.
And they tested its use in the 8-10 days prior to breast biopsy - “progesterone decreased it (cell proliferation) by more than 400%”. (pages 94-96)
Book - Natural Progesterone - by John R Lee, MD.
God bless Russell Marker, who “developed the practical industrial process to synthesize progesterone from plant sources in the early 1940s” - and purposely declined to patent it - making it widely and cheaply available. However, that also effectively ‘removed’ it from the medical sphere, as no Rx needed - so its use isn’t prescribed nor tracked.
I didn't know about Dr. Lee. I tried a few forms of OTC topical many years ago when I had really heavy periods and they didn't help.... But guessing some are better than others. I take compounded progesterone caps now.
Just wondering - by bio- identical, do you include progesterone (transdermal cream) available OTC?
I’m asking bc it not only increased my mom’s bone density in 6 months, it (surprisingly) resolved incontinence and restored pigment to her breasts. Ref - Dr. John R Lee.
Thank u Unbekoming! Another discussion that would be interesting, is what body builders do to themselves, cycling on and off chemicals …. Long and short term effects are not good .
And it is super alarming to me that this junk is being “prescribed” to people without laboratory or symptom monitoring.
I mention it to people I know who are injecting themselves, some with branded products and some with products that come from “trusted sources” in Turkey.
Oh my…….. another thing to worry about. I don’t wanna worry about this stuff.
I know SO many people taking this crap. I’m done warning. I guess they want to learn the hard way. GLP1’s only prove they ate too much and couldn’t control it. These are the same people who claim they’ve tried everything, EVERYTHING, and the weight just will NOT come off. Ya, bull crumples. You ate more than you burned. This drug proves it.
Who cares about peptides? You cannot improve the human body. Only take steps to keep it pristine as it was created to be. Yet another supplement fakeout marketed to fool everyone.
I guess you would say the same comments fit for microdosing for autoimmune also. I have considered speaking to the functional doc about this, but maybe not. Have a lot of issues despite eating clean and careful.
Are you aware of Dr. A. Froese on YouTube who is "educating" on peptides? I wish she could read your article. Maybe she isn't aware of all the downsides since she lists very few negatives of peptides. In the comments on her videos, there are people responding with mostly positive outcomes from using peptides on a cycle of 8 to 12 weeks, usually stacked peptides in one vial with a 2 to 4 week break. Many then run a different course of stacked peptides for a cycle. A lot of people are doing a lot of self experimentation.
Perhaps you could reach out to her and send her your entire article.
There are online peptide doctors that sell the service of providing the prescription for whatever peptides someone wants, then the 503A compounding pharmacy makes up the vial and sends it overnight. This seems to be the more "legitimate" method of obtaining them rather than through the gray market that has to be reconstituted before use. You may already be aware of my findings, but I have an interest in peptides because I'm truly hoping some good things will eventually be discovered for using them to fix all sorts of health issues.
Very interesting article, although I'm not sure I understood all of it since I don't have a medical background.
Thank you, l’m not familiar with Dr. Seed, but what I definitely want is information on the possible side effects, long term effects and the bad along with the good. The article here at least points to that which may have some long term implications. Maybe there are no long term studies yet. Have you read his book on peptides?
I have not read his book, he had an office in Ohio and you could take courses and get a certificate in the past . I have not kept up with him as of late. Looks like he may have moved to Beverly Hills ?

That's a good one.
i literally laughed out loud about your last phrase. lol
I live to serve. 😁

The more I learn the more I realize the bicycle shops are not fixing our bicycles at all.
They are just letting us think that they are with their fancy tools and screws.

You should do something on bioidentical hormone replacement

That is so wonderful that your mom got such great results!! I'll look up Dr John Lee.

Why do people inject poison into their bodies? While others are making a lot of money.
They are looking for the easy way out . Good clean diet and exercise works wonders.
They will eventually get their easy way out via sickness, suffering and death. Tragic.

I found him, and he has some videos I'm going to watch. Thank you for the information!
