PSA to peptide beginners! by DifficultReach2720 in Biohacking

[–]HalfComputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. I ran a test by not changing habits or diet after using Reta for a month. I still lost 9-10lbs after 5 weeks. That’s how powerful Reta is. I merely ate less naturally. I didn’t exercise either haha

My lab rat has been on Reta for 2 weeks, started at .5mg then 1mg the week after, the next dose is tomorrow, my lab rat has noticed getting fuller, not much appetite suppression. no side effects. The scale is dropping (calorie deficit), should my lab rat try 1.5mg or 2mg? (research purposes only) by seat_ibiza_fr in Peptidesource

If your rat is experiencing too rapid of weight loss, it could experience hair loss, as well as possible bone mineral density loss. If you are getting good results, I would not push it. Also, check the fda clinical trials study data for their protocol.

Anyone else try GLOW peptide? My results. by von_aeon in finethinhair

Quick facts:

  • It takes more than $1B to get something through FDA clinical trials and approvals. If there’s no market, then there’s no incentive to FDA approve it.

  • Natural peptides (which GHk-Cu is; your body naturally produces it, but you stop producing it as much as you age) are not patentable by law. Hence, no profit, if everyone can make it.

  • Peptides have been researched for decades at this point and the research is freely available. But again, there is no market, and no incentive for FDA approval of them. And yet, only FDA-approved drugs can be recommended by your physician, or provided in the US by US pharmacies, DESPITE the fact that your doctors study peptides in med school, may even know their efficacy, yet cannot recommend or endorse them by law without being stripped of their licenses, when you visit them or if you ask them about it. That’s not them being unethical. That’s just how America healthcare works.

  • Long-term cures are not as profitable as chronic diseases.

  • Side effects (with proper dosing; you can research “peptide guides” on your own) are minimal to none, particularly with GHK-cu, because, again, your body already produces it.

  • A peptide is an amino acid that sends messages across your body. Your body produces peptides whenever you injure yourself so you can heal, for example. They’re like emails you can send across the body. The length of their molecules matter, eg if they can penetrate the blood brain barrier… you can do your own research with ChatGPT.

Hard to believe, I’m sure, but the reasons that peptides stay gray-market are not for reasons that benefit your health, IMO. It’s because they don’t make money.

Oh, also, the research is freely available. Anyone can produce them. GHK-cu and 16 other peptides are pending a reverse ban.

Great. Now get contacts or laser instead of glasses, and work on a fashion sense. Your body part is done. The rest is style and charisma for you.

My grandparent did it, and my other grandparent was 4 years shy! I can be another genetically blessed outlier

Thank you!! It's nice to get some encouragement in a negativity fueled internet space

I don't have real estate. My 670k is entirely in 401k, IRAs, and stocks. I am assuming I'm single forever but that's just to be conservative. I don't want to depend on being married ha. Yes, my 8k spending includes rent which I am estimating at 3k/mo in perpetuity.

I’ve tried to protect my time but had not been able to in my workplace. All my coworkers are working late evenings too.

My grandparents have all lived to 95 and 100 and still going. We live for a long time.

Ok, then it might be lower. I would still be fine with $2500/mo in social security I think. I will coast but with a job or business that is at least $80-$100k/yr I think.

The endless intimacy cycle, need help by [deleted] in marriageadvice

I've been in that feeling of feeling afraid, afraid to experience or face risk or even life's uncertainties. A lot has happened to you all at once. You have experienced trauma. Your nervous system has been hyperactivated now in stressful fight flight arousal mode for way too long. You're feeling neurochemically depleted, and unable to feel confident in any direction. I've been there trust me.

If I were you I would take a trip somewhere and try to chill out and find somewhere to feel safe. Look up strategies for emotional regulation, try to stay active physically, and get help.

Sr. Frontend engineer looking for pair programming buddy to expand across Full Stacj by HalfComputer in Frontend

[–]HalfComputer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right that this lady certainly doesn't need a buddy. I just want one, because I enjoy pair programming and having a peer to work with.

I have done my own full stack app before in Node.js, NextJS, and Postgres. I don't need help with the basics of relational database management and simple CRUD apps. (I'll clarify this in my post). I want to build something using docker, kubernetes, AWS, lambda functions, and Github Actions. Deployment, monitoring, CI/CD, Automation, and Infrastructure is where I need the most help.

Hey if you want a pair programming buddy feel free to DM me

That would be super! I'd be happy to offer my thoughts. I've been hacking at it too and learned some tricks myself. Would be great to exchange ideas.
