TLDR. It’s only a “hack” if you have longitudinal, peer reviewed data on administration/dose/compound. What people are doing now is analogous to, albeit even more reckless (since performed with NPs, ex-NP, ex-pharm rep sales types), than what occurred with Ivermectin post-Covid. Peptide popups are reckless and often not based in science at all. More often than not (especially if you’re not under the supervision of a board certified MD with training and experience this area), you’re going to get hyped up, spend a lot of money, “see” some initial results (you don’t know if half of that is proxy) and then those results are going to plateau and then you’re going to look for the next hype.

Peptides are great. They're essential for life. What is not essential is the maxgrift that inevitably follows complete relaxation of regulatory/guidance/sentiment frameworks. Eventually, the public will "find out", but it's sad we have to go through this just to learn our lesson. The same is true of vaccine suppresion in childhood diseases. At least with peptides, it's probably only adults who suffer. But that isn't guaranteed...

This is definitely a set of trends I’ve observed as well: https://blog.peptide.partners/p/wellness-optimizers-and-self-experimenters
