Just to be clear,
I am a fan of BPC157 especially for tendon or ligament injuries. As I have said my Ortho and his son are well known Power lifters and both use it. His words were," it is extremely safe and called it benign". Like everything - if you get legit BPC157, I think you are golden. If you get crap, you will get crap results.
It did not help some muscle injuries or if it did help it helped slightly but what it did with my Achilles tendons was simply incredible. My pack work and play hard and get hurt. Dogs don't know placebo and if your dog is screaming standing up or walking and is on 4 pain meds - tramadol, robaxin, meloxicam, and on lyrica or neurontin with no relief, if you have a heart you would try anything. The results I experienced with my Alpha - a neck and back injury from using his head as a battering ram instead of using his size to take people down (Bouviers do this instead of biting or can be trained to and only rag doll you if you move after they take you down). 2 days of 1 shot of BPC157 500 mcg's and he was getting up and down and walking with pain, day 3 I had to put the leash on his or he wanted to train and play again.
My vet asked how this occurred and I was open, I used a peptides (BPC157) and she wanted to know about it for her husband who lives in chronic pain. Told her I spoke to two doctors and one uses it regularly and support its usage. I never went a day without it being in the house after that. I also kept dexomethasone on hand for his last 2 years as it worked even faster. It is not healing anything, it is a potent anti-inflammatory you inject.
He had flair ups and would scream getting up, so I would give him a micro dose of Dex around his neck/back and tell him to 'place' which means lay on your bed and don't move. Wait a few hours, and he was a puppy again.
Simply magic to people who saw. Dex has side effects but I would rather live my life happy/active in less or no pain for a shorter duration than rust away because I could no move without pain. I felt the same for my dogs, and I always had their best interest at heart.
My comment on angiogenesis and cancer is just a concern I read about with any kind of angiogenesis. if you study the process and how cancer works - it is pretty clear how this could be an issue, but has it made me think twice about BPC157 - nope.
It is most definately not prescribable by a doctor - they can't prescribe supplements either. They can tell you about one, albeit most will not. They can tell you about a peptide, but are on a slippery slope to court if anything goes wrong. No licensed pharmacy can compound it and sell something that they can not sell. It is being done, so when I say they can't do it - legally they can't do it. There is no chance you would have a chance in court if you started having any issues.
If a doctor in Canada knew about the benefits of SAM-e and wrote a script, no pharmacy can fill it even though it is a prescription drug in many countries and has been proven to be a pain reliever with no stomach/bleeding concerns, an antidepressant, and is doled out like candy by vets for any liver disease but a doctor can't give you a script for liver issues even though it good for almost every liver ailment.
I have no idea why Tudca is what people reach for with liver issues, when SAM-e is available, but each to their own.
@The Old Guy - appreciate your comments. I know why companies don't invest in trials, the stages required to make something a drug to sell or get a patent - costs millions and you can't patent a lot of items already unless it is structurally changed/altered somehow to meet the strict guidelines that allow for a new patent. If you get one, you are golden for 5 years (I believe that is the time period) and then you apply for a patent extention before it becomes available as a generic. Unfortunately, if you change it - it may not work as well and is readily available everywhere, it will be forever be a wonderful peptide that is faked, unscrupilous people will take advantage of, etc.
In the US - it is more a wild west at hormone/anti-aging clinics and they prescribe all kinds of hormones you can't get in Canada and peptides that are being provided by the company itself. The company I spoke with was willing to ship HGH, steroids, other products 'we could discuss' to my door for a steep price. I forget the name of the Canadian company but her name was Cindy and it was legit. I know two guys who used them. They were a drug pushing / legit hormone company.
Back to my point - the reason BPC157 works and it's amazing benefits.
@animal-inside - I would be taking it daily if it helped me with an injury as well.
