Peptides I can no longer take

@Eleanor What is the reason behind the weather change for Motsc
Getting the bacteriostatic saline/alcohol water shipped in safe conditions. Right now it's 97 degrees, with 90% humidity in AM and if fortunate, 50% in evening; and that's on a good evening. I don't want the water lingering in hot/humid weather for hours before I get home and can't afford to get overnight due to cost.

I recently found out that I have a benign C4 peripheral nerve sheath tumor in my right neck called a Schwannoma. It's an extremely slow growing type of tumor that I've had for over 20 years. Due to its size and location, the doctors have decided to just monitor it rather than a risky surgery to remove it. I mentioned to my Neurologist about the peptides I'm wanting to take to help with my body recomposition, and he said specifically to stay away from these:
Sermorelin, Hexarelin, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, Tesamorelin, MK-677, BPC-157, TB-500 (TB4), NAD+ and GHK-Cu.Now I have to figure out what to do with all the supply I have in my chest freezer. Needless to say, I'm pretty bummed out about this.
@mrjoshua44 I'm so sorry; that must be incredibly disappointing! If anyone reading this has been curious about the various "elin" peptides, their risk factors and research protocols, I highly recommend this detailed comparison and explanation: It's really long and technical, but fascinating food for thought, especially when it comes to assessing potential downsides vs benefits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVG006bW_3s

@gym.rat Im feeling 55yo younger. Guys think of these peptides like a way to dial you metabolic system, and even better mitochondria. You are very much powered by mitochondria threw out your body. We are not only a bag of water. We are a walking battery. These peptides may not be perfect but they offer beyond the state most of our bodies are in? It is so freaking fascinating. Can you imagine with the right blood work. There is Huma Pod offered to the public with close to Dexa Scan precision. Damn that is where extropy gets expensive. lol

@Eleanor Thanks, I had concerns with one of my orders and the temperature degrading the powder, as expected temperatures were to exceed 100 degrees with minimal humidity on my delivery day. Most feedback comments said it wouldn't be a problem. Is the issue more of the humidity, and it being a liquid or would heat, and if it were powder form, still be a concern in your opinion?

@wes33378
Humidity is a problem whether it's a liquid or powder. IMO, heat for a reconstituted pep (liquid) is a problem, whereas a powder might be much more resilient but I still don't like to push it too far. If you're in an arid climate, at least it will cool at night; my climate won't drop below 80 at night with high humidity as well.That being said, I really want to get the BAC saline that gym rat advised and am having to pay USPS for 2-3 day delivery. I AM TAKING MY CHANCES with what I consider a less that satisfactory service & paying out the nose for it. The regular time would be 3-5 days. I don't think I would take that chance at all, given climate conditions here.

@mrjoshua44 bummer man! Keep your spirits up and hope it works out for you.

@EXTROPIAN my hume pod is not even close to the dexa scan I get at the VA. Not even on the same playing field. Now if its just to monitor my results for my pod and my pod only its an ok tool. But most of the stuff on there they completely make-up. But if you use it consistently you can track that i suppose

@thanks_enjoi
You were able to get a Dexa Scan at the VA? -
@thanks_enjoi
You were able to get a Dexa Scan at the VA?@Commander yes, ive had it a few times. Certain level facilities have different things available, like a hospital vs a clinic. And depending on what type of provider you are using may determine what they have easiest access to. Your best bet is to go through the move program. I have had them use a fancier hume pod (which i made sure they don't use again) a seca scan and a dexa. I typically stick with the Seca.

How did you get them to give you a Dexa scan? -
@thanks_enjoi
How did you get them to give you a Dexa scan?@Commander im 100% P&T. Back injury in Iraq. It is to check my back. Like my vertebrae density or something.

@thanks_enjoi
How did you get them to give you a Dexa scan?@Commander the Seca is what I have most of. I also have what seems like a never ending prescription for zepbound. I have boxes im trying to trade if anyone is looking, and I get a new box a month.

@thanks_enjoi
I am too. I also have something wrong with my back they found and told me about. But unfortunately the VA clinics in my state aren’t so good… -

@thanks_enjoi Is it one of those they sell you the pod/hardware but have to pay the software? Then later that data is being use by big pharma and insurance companies? Are we the lab rats paying to be monitored?

@EXTROPIAN No. I have one. There is no monthly fee for it. I find mine is consistent, which is important and my body fat is only slightly off from the 2 Dexa’s that I have done.

@EXTROPIAN i don't understand your comment.

@EXTROPIAN i don't understand your comment.
@thanks_enjoi I think he is saying he has a Hume scale, which I find to be almost exactly the same as my scans. I think it depends on your body type. If you are very over weight they don’t seem to be as accurate. It will show lower body fat in those cases, from what I understand. For my wife and I it’s extremely accurate. The only reason I continue to do the scans is to get my Hospira Bac water. I will probably just go 3 times a year now.
