Hmmm, that is the second time that someone has qouted that study which was actually geared around testing more for cancer then for telomere activity. Those were very low amounts which they found do inhibit cancer but also you will note they, same group, have done plenty of other studies at higher levels of Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly that had positive reaction on telomerase and on logevity of mice. That being said, at this point in time there is no gaurantees but the peptide, compared to most other activators, is not that expensive and I think it is going to be coming down even farther, soon, so I don't get that comment about high cost.
I have had additional things happening that I, sorry, just have not had time to get back here and report about. We are just wrapping up this insanely long holiday (Chinese New Year) and with the kids out of school, its a bit hectic. Any way, for over 4 years now, the right side of my left big toe, from tip to the base of the large knuckle, has been completely numb from damage caused by gout. In addition, my index finger of my right hand, on the exterior, also has been numb for the past 2 years because I have a bad habit of using that finger like a shoe horn and have damaged the nerves in the finger. All of the feeling is back in my toe and I am getting feeling back in my finger now. It feels like when your have had frost bite and then starts to thaw with periods of time that it has near full feeling without any pain. I am really excited about this, could it be that my nerves are repairing?? That would be fantastic and hold a lot of promise for a lot of people I know. I also had some extensive damage in my face due to herpes. At one point it caused the left side of my lower jaw and some of the left side of my upper lip to go numb for over 6 months. Although the feeling came back, from that time on I have had a droop on the left side of my face, similar but not quite as drastic as having had a stroke. I beleive that it is rasing up. I am going to have to take some very careful pictures and repeated measurments to gauge this closely but to me it is quite obvious. I was not expecting that so I did not take any pictures specifically for that condition prior to taking the peptide but I will go through other pictures I have of myself and hope I can find some that can show this droop clearly and use as comparison.
I have gotten use to the dreams, just seems normal now and definately not bothering my sleep.
Now to the gross, sorry again, but, my bowl movements have increased. I used to be lucky if I had 2 a day, usually only 1. Now, without fail, it is up to 4 or 5 a day. Please forgive the discussion but I think it is important to note. The quailty is also very good. I had thought this might be due to the inceased hunger but I have been careful over the past couple of weeks to not give in to that and have kept a quality diet, kept my portions and meals down to what is right for my daily routine and yet bowl movments stay up.
I had thought earlier that my eye sight might be improving. Well, that is only half true. My left eye has improved for far sight and my right eye has improved for near sight but opposing directions on both eyes have worsened. This is not a drastic difference but enough for my optomologist to pick up and according to him is not unusual. It is almost a way for my eyes to compensate for some loss and the one seeing well far and the other seeing near helps me to see OK for both distances. So I think, for now, i can say that was a false positive.
Gray hair, this has definately decreased. I used to have gray hair from my temples (side burns) all the way to the back of my ears. I now only have some around the temples. Is this normal, can gray hair decrease on its own sometimes in nature? I will do some more research on this.
I think I have decrease now in the wrinkles around my eyes, my wife says it is the same, LOL!! Maybe she is right, more time and pictures will tell.
Speaking of my wife, she has started on this latest trial along with me. Every since our first child she has had extreme bouts of Premenstrual Syndrome. I am not talking about some mood swings, crying, cramps and such, I am talking about full on, drastic emotional swings from thinking that the world is her oyster one minute to seriously considering suicide the next. Once it starts it builds on itself until it gets the point, quite often, that I have to just hold her to keep her from breaking things or hurting her self. Her emotions have been incredibly level and her mood fantastic up until the day before yesterday. She had forgotten to take the peptide for 2 days and yesterday her cycle started. She had a pretty big blow out but it did not last too long. I made sure that she started back on her peptide that night and reminded her that up until that time she has been incredibly level headed and happy. She did not believe me and asked our kids who told her, "Please don't stop taking your drops". That was a very strong feeling. I know that one of the things that the peptide has been shown in studies to do is to reinvigorate the reproductive system but, again, I was not expecting this kind of result. When we go off I will have to see what happens and then again when we start back up again. This I am very very interested in following up, it has had a very profound effect on our family.
Once we are done with this current 100mg we will take a month off and start again.
