[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 268846, member: 43589"] I just wanted to add to my little experiment with hGH, BPC 157 and TB500 on osteoarthritis. I followed Dr. Dun's regiment to the T and also added the other peptides as prescribed by other Florida doctors. I did this for quite a bit longer that any of these guys did and went through 2 kits if hGH, 2 kits of BPC 157 and 2 kits of TB 500 all injections were done directly into the joint. While I used all three the pain was greatly reduced. However, after I stopped the pain slowly started to return. So it is possible the liquid from all three injections helped and most likely the temporarily reduced inflammation. The real test over time, did any of it regrow bone or anything else. Unfortunately, the answered is NO. I did e-rays on my knee in 2021 and again yesterday and the results show the osteoarthritis is worse and the small gap I had in the medial meniscus and totally gone now and it is bone on bone with quite a lot of visible inflammation. Here is the official diagnoses from the x-rays done yesterday: [B]Left Knee X-ray Views: 4 view weight bearing series was reviewed Findings: Evidence of tricompartmental osteoarthritis with bone on bone deformity in the medial compartment. There are marginal osteophytes and subchondral sclerosis. Comparison with Prior Films: Progressive loss of joint line space when compared to x-rays from 04/2021[/B] What amazes me is there are a lot of doctors in Florida pushing expensive treatment for osteoarthritis using hGH, BPC 150/TB 500 and do not accept insurance. Of course insurance will not cover these controversial treatments because there is absolutely no evidence they work.
