The Peptide Revolution
16th June 2026
Peptides are amino acids that are used to issue instructions to the body’s various systems. Ozempic, Mounjaro and Retatrutide are all peptides. These GLP-1s have a ridiculous number of things they do in terms of measurable results of reduction: cancer rates, strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, obesity, even aging. Some countries are considering making GLP-1s available to all (not just the obese or diabetic) because of these benefits.
There are a host of other things that “biohackers” are injecting. I am posting this here because I think anyone with knee or joint pain would do well to check out BPC-157. I have personal knowledge of people who have cured chronic knee pain with 1-3 injections of the peptide. Old muscle pain? Totally fixable with a trivial injection.
Any search on X will show a host of other peptides in the market, offering or suggesting help for a huge range of maladies. Memory loss? Check. Big drug companies are working on peptides for cancers. Some peptides give you a tan, others are key ingredients in skin rejuvenation (potentially making the Botox world a dead end in human anti-aging treatments). There are peptides in development to cure myopia, and even regrow the optic nerve! Things that we knew could not be done are being done. The peptides can tell the body to do something in old age that it usually would only do at a much earlier (or even foetal) stage of development.
None of the non-GLP-1 peptides (as far as I know) is FDA-approved. Most of them probably never will be, because there is no financial incentive to jump through the hoops for something that cannot be patented and which can be purchased inexpensively.
Government is why we can’t have nice things.
