Amazing stuff !! The same names/substances come up time after time. Well done, Justus R. Hope.

thank you Dr. Hope. We are working to embrace some daily green tea, not exciting taste but what great benefits.

Dr. Hope, have you read about the peptide called Thymosin beta 4? TB4 is one of the most promising peptides for reducing fibrosis and promoting tissue regeneration. It suppresses fibrotic pathways, breaks excess collagen, and enhances repair mechanisms.

Thank you for bringing this up. It looks very promising. Looks like it is a peptide that does not require FDA approval and has quite a few benefits.

Can I ask what that is please? I have PF.

Peptides are tiny, aligned Amino acids that are bonded together. Some peptides are only two amino acids. They are how cells talk to each other. When we were young, we had over 7000 peptides or words. With aging, lifestyle, and environmental toxins, we lose cellular communication. Thymosin Beta 4, which was made in the thymus gland, is a naturally occurring 43-amino acid peptide found in almost all tissues, especially in wound sites, immune cells, and the central nervous system. It plays a significant role in tissue repair, regeneration, immune modulation, and anti-fibrotic activity. Biological Functions of TB4: A) Tissue Regeneration & Wound Healing, B)Anti-Fibrotic Properties, C) Immune Modulation, D)Cardiovascular Repair, E)Neurological Support. It is one of my favorite peptides. Caution, there are a lot of fake peptides sold on the net. I highly recommend that you don't pursue that route. I rec. that you find a trained peptide physician in your local area. They have the real stuff. I belong to Dr. William Seeds' organization, Seeds Scientific Research Performance (SSRP). You can contact them at info@ssrpinstitute.org.

Thank you Dr Anthony Phan! I will look in to Dr William Seeds.

I'm in SC and I'm having a hard time finding functional medicine doctors, much less a peptide physician. I won't quit trying though. Sincerely Grateful!

I'm praying that you will find a peptide called Thymosin Beta 4 ( or its new name, Thymosin 500). If you can obtain it, I can help you with the dosage. With this one peptide, my colleagues and I have reversed Pulmonary fibrosis, COPD, Liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis.

Ask for COA. A transparent company will send you a COA with each peptide

• COA (Certificate of Analysis) with:

◦ Purity ≥98% (HPLC-verified)

◦ Confirmed molecular weight (MS or MALDI-TOF)

• No significant degradation peaks in the HPLC chromatogram

• Purity ≥98% (HPLC-verified)

◦ Confirmed molecular weight (MS or MALDI-TOF)

• No significant degradation peaks in the HPLC chromatogram

I am curious what "AI" you use for research? I have a old friend who has been testing AI's for about a year now and it is his belief that the only AI out in the wild now that is accurate is Grok.

DeepSeek runs a distance second and all the others are too biased in their programing to answer

question straight forward.

Thank you so much for your excellent work! My wife is battling severe respiratory failure due to cancer, bilateral pleurodesis lung surgeries, and inflammation, and we’ve greatly benefitted from your work helping refine our integrative oncology strategies. We’ve been using Serrapeptase and Nattokinase for about a year in very high doses and watching decades-old scars on her skin disappear. I imagine it is likely significantly helping reduce the lung scarring too. There is good preclinical evidence for that (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8624573/#:~:text=The%20fibrinolytic%20enzymes%20serrapeptase%20and%20nattokinase%20have,effective%20in%20removing%20fibrous%20scar%20tissue%20[7%2C8].&text=The%20present%20study%20suggests%20that%20the%20oral,of%20life%20in%20patients%20with%20pulmonary%20fibrosis). We happen to be doing most of your list for anticancer purposes too. Just wanted to share for anyone else reading looking for solutions that these two enzymes might be well worth exploring in addition too. We use the product “Dissolve It All” from MitoLife. Four of our close friends used it to eliminate significant long COVID breathing issues and shared it with us.

Best wishes to your wife and thank you for sharing your experience ❤️

I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis in late November 2024. I took the first 2 bad Pfizer jabs and my worst health years have been since then. Blessings to you and her.

Thank you so much for sharing this info. This gives folks like me hope.

My question, how do I incorporate all this in a days time? I have gathered almost all of these repurposed drugs and supplements already. I'm just stuck on the process of getting started.

They're delaying treatment of my disease, with their drug of choice, hoping I gain weight first. I'm not on O2 yet, thus I would love to get a jump on my disease.

On another note, it's Mother's Day, and I hope all remember the special women in their life. Blessings.
