Update - Four weeks gone, ( halfway thru ) ........... Seemed to go backwards after the great results of the second week but in fairness, l'm doing some very phyiscal outdoor work, in the summer Oz heat, that a 64 year should not be doing, l guess.

Anyway, the start of this week ( Monday & Tuesday ) the 'needles' have really kicked in and worked extremely well. Building an upmarket timber fence with 150 x 150mm x 3 metre posts, are not real lite to cart around.

I take the 'needIes' Sunday thru to Thurday night, so 5 days on, 2 off ) ..... guess my only gripe so far is that some, not all, pain returns at times.
Today, worked really hard, felt great all day until around 4pm, then some, not alot, but some pain returns. Keep in mind, l am riddled with arhritis all over so maybe l'm expecting a bit much.

Anyway, halfway thru the treatment.
Overall, still been a huge improvement & no side effects............. how long it last, l'm not sure.
Cheers,
Didley

I see David Cameron has shared his prostate cancer diagnosis, ok for him as he no doubt got immediate treatment as you would if you can afford it. I have been waiting 10 weeks for an ultrasound which I will have onThursday yet three years ago I had a similar situation and was seen in just over 3 weeks with a Sunday afternoon appointment. So much for waiting lists falling...

Just had colonoscopy this morning, all good except prep wasn't great, not enough clear out to allow easy access to upper bowel, quite uncomfortable even though sedated....

Do it all again in 12 months time, with longer prep...... deep joy.

Update on peptides - BPC157 & BP500.

Ok, so l took this combo of peptides to try to achieve improved pain relief, muscle / tissue repair & cleanout/ improve liver, kidneys.
Why?
After 45 years of heavy duty arthritic drugs, both oral & needle form, after numerous x-Ray/ scans etc tests over the past 5 years, l felt l was not getting any better, worse actually and having read up on these two products, l was prepared to trial them for one course.

Having completed the 8 week course before Xmas, l wanted to see how l felt, what relief if any, what side effects if any.

Keep in mind, there are many products on the net, mail order etc…. which are often scams, poor quality etc.
I wanted a better service provider than that, & spoke to a few people over time.

I went with an Australian company, product made & dispensed locally, by a certified compound chemist in Brisbane.
I had to get a script in order to place the order.

It arrived two days later, by certified mail, in a cold pack, everything provided, nothing else needed.

Results are in….. To my amazement, in least than a week, my shoulder, couldn’t sleep on it for nearly 5 years because of the pain, gone & slept like a baby.

In all honesty, l had many nights like that on the course but not all. My hip has been getting worse & the medication certainly got rid of most, not all but most of the pain.

Keep in mind, l’ve been doing very physical work and for a 64 year old with 3 forms of arthritis plus a few other issues, in the middle of summer mind you, l think l did pretty dam good. The fence l built at my sons new house, 3 metre post 150mm x 150mm ( six inches ) were very heavy and about 57 metres of it. There’s no way l could have built this without it.

The trial worked for me, my conditions, everyone may be different and have different reasons, which may or may not work for you. Always speak to your doctor, which l’ve done all the way thru, and still do. As he said, everybody has to find what works for them.

I’m about to trial the BPC157 by itself this time. The two combined was pretty costly, just over $800, the BPC157 is $430, locally.

The needles don’t hurt because they are so small & shallow, my view.

As mentioned before, BOC157 has been around since about 93, used by many sports people for quick repair to muscle / tissue. I found it gave quick pain relief in about 30 minutes as well. The products are amino acids, fundamental building blocks of protein.

The BP500, is for organ repair & to be honest, l really don’t know how much or little it has done but l seriously have noticed my liver doesn’t get ‘out of the blue’ pain like it did now & then.
l like my gin but l don’t drink as much as some may think. It’s always been certain drugs that cause pain there.

Anyway folks, that’s my current view on things, it’s certainly assisted me much more than l expected. All the best to you.

What do your blood and urine tests say about liver and kidney function, HbaA1C etc? Any changes since you started this regime?

My latest colonoscopy saw 5 polyps removed, one of which showed 'high-grade dysplasia', which translates as being pre-cancerous. The upshot was that they recommended a further colonoscopy in three years time, which seems a long way off. Seems they're not too concerned, but given that I've already had bowel cancer, I think I'd prefer closer monitoring.

I think that’s positive news, Stroller,
I had four of them done now.
The first time, like you, they cut out a number of polyps & said come back in 3 years. Each time after, no recurring polyps.
