Peptides

"I knew it was killing me, but I also believed that the monster I was drowning would overtake me if I stopped. I tried various ways of controlling it, always failing eventually. My fight against drugs and alcohol was all-consuming and exhausting. In moments of exasperation, I cut my wrists and prayed for the courage to cut deep enough to let all the pain out. Luckily, I could never drive the knife that deep."

That's a passage I found chillingly eloquent from a chapter that Dr. Aleksandra Gajer contributed to the book Triumphs of Transformation. In it, she lays bare her struggles with vice and her long personal and professional path through traditional medicine to reclaiming agency, health, and happiness by eight foundational lifestyle pillars, which we'll get into in this wide-ranging discussion of the science of health and the art of transformation...

Peptide overview

This "smart peptide" is a genetic hack for enhanced immunity, which is particularly helpful to the elderly for treating or preventing...

• Chronic and acute inflammatory diseases.
• Viral respiratory infections: pneumonia, bronchitis, sore throats, ear infections, and sinusitis.
• Autoimmune diseases.
• Cystitis, Pyelonephritis, Prostatitis, and Adnexitis. 
• Systemic connective tissue disease.
• Along with recovering from chemotherapy.

Crystagen differs from other immune medicines and biohacks I've discussed; it's more of a tool for restoration than prevention. It's used to rebuild a compromised immune system.

This BPC-157 I have not yet used. I'm going to keep it around as a "bio prepping" measure in the event that I get injured in the gym or wherever - it enables rapid healing of injuries.

This is an anti-aging peptide cocktail of 15 different amino acids.

BPC stands for Body Protection Compounds, an apt acronym as this peptide's chief utility seems to be as a biohack for resilience and healing. In gym bro slang, it's referred to as The Wolverine Drug; if you recall, in the X-Men movies, Wolverine has a superhuman capacity to heal his own body - that's sort of what BPC-157 enables.

Bioregulatory Peptides are a novel class of medicine that hack our biology on the genetic level.

I say novel because they are a relatively recent development and have been thus far not largely acknowledged and studied by the Western medicinal establishment. For those looking for healing solutions outside the mainstream offerings of the pharmaceutical-industrial complex, these peptides are worth learning about.

Selank is an anxiolytic peptide supplement with Nootropic properties.

It's what I regard as a peripheral Nootropic for the sophisticated Biohacker, it's NOT a highly stimulating drug with an immediate performance-enhancing effect on the mind or body.

Semax is a heptapeptide, a synthetic of an adrenocorticotropic hormone. It is a quintessential smart drug in that it fires up cognition as opposed to wakefulness, focus, or motivation.

So it will help you work smarter as opposed to harder, which sometimes is exactly what we need.

An innovative biopeptide for hacking vision and ocular degeneration.

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but the eyes may be biohacked with this bioregulator. It’s capable of restoring the retina which makes it an effective preventative measure or treatment of...

An immune bioregulator that works via the thymus gland. It’s recommended for people who are recovering from severe adverse immune events, like...

• Recovery from cancer
• Infectious diseases
• Recovering from a stroke or heart attack
• Chronic immunodeficiency

Cortexin® is a mixture of neuropeptide fractions, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. It has a pronounced but subtle positive effect on the brain.

Similar to Cerebrolysin, Cortexin is based on neuropeptides and amino acids. the pharmacological difference is that Cortexin has significantly more peptide fractions and fewer amino acids. Another notable difference is that it doesn't come from pig brains, so it may be a better option for people who really want to inject their Nootropics but just don't like pigs.
