It seems peptides will be the cure

Thoughts on this?

From Google:

CONCLUSION: E4 peptide shows oral bioavailability and exerts anti-fibrotic activity in a bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis model. We suggest that E4 peptide is a novel oral drug for fibroproliferative disorders.

Can you imagine if we end up being able to just take an oral peptide?!

If this is a cure you can just imagine how much this is going to cost us $$$$$$$$$. Just like if they really found a cure for cancer how much money would the drug companies charge for it? They are already making billions of dollars from the treatments and drugs to treat cancer.

I think it will be costly but not impossible to buy it. A smaller fee with more customer with longer treating period will give them more than a short but very expensive. These conditions are not that common.

But when would these be available then.

I'd be willing to heist it and distribute it to the people, no worries.

Guys, things can be done. It's likely possible to do a custom synthesis in China and get it delivered to your door. We would just need to find out the dose, which is not difficult, and inquire about the price and we could do a group buy.

Omg are you me? literally same boat and have been preaching this. getting the e4 is not the problem folks! I already know a lab that can synthesize it and they quoted me at 1600$/gram. its the dosing that is the question!

@everyone

i know a lab that can synthesize e4 (the peptide in the news article linked on fibrosis). hmu if you want to talk about this more

how long do we have to wait until there will be a test with a peyronie patient? what do you think? maybe it is possible to get in touch we the research team?

There is limited info. We do not know if it will be an oral medication or injectable. Regardless it would likely be very expensive. I've searched around and can practically find nothing. They've been studying since at least 2012.

[pauli]

But is there a study for peyronies or just in general fibrosis?

I really do not care what it costs, if it stops this nightmare...

[Sonic]

I have looked around and no there is none that I can find.

The only forums talking about this E4 peptide are penis related    only other one i saw was a reddit for Long Covid sufferers. you'd think there would be more talk about it on forums for people with deadly fibrotic conditions like pulmonary fibrosis
