A long time ago, I bought a couple handbags from a street vendor in Rome. I naively thought they were real. I learned upon my return to the U.S. and passing through customs that said bags were not real. They took them from me. That's it. That's all that happened. Years later, a then-BF had...

I've seen many cases involving imported and adulterated foreign pharma products; those matters are not pursued by the "legit" pharma companies but by regulators in some other context. For example... a med spa charging Medicare or Medicaid for bimatoprost (brand name Latisse) claiming it's for...

Then there's also the qui tam provisions of the FCA, albeit a civil "prosecution."

A lawyer representing themselves has a fool for a client, as they say.

Pro se inmates are a PITA to litigate against, not because their claims have merit, but because they bring pure chaos by throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks -- and you still have to respond to it. Ugh, don't miss that at all.

Yes. And I agree with everything else you typed.

A transplant!! Wowwwwwww!! Rooting for you!!

This belies a misunderstanding of how these peptides and drugs work. They work on the same reward center of the brain not by providing a reward, but by inhibiting it. It’s the reward is what causes addiction. The inhibition of the reward prevents/treats addiction. The less reward you get for...

Not necessarily with T2Ds. For almost a century, T2Ds were referred to as non-insulin dependent diabetics. And the ovwhelmijg majority of diabetics are T2.

I got the impression he was trying to tamp down on the pitchforks coming after the CZGB lady. Why, I don’t know. But you may be on to something.

Oh, but he’s sitting next to a lawyer! And that lawyer is telling him he’s engaged in a criminal conspiracy! And yet, he’s still doing it? Ummm, okay. I’d have to link to law journals and conferences to back my ish up, and I’m just not in the mood to doxx myself. Because some pep people be...

That was my last and final response to that person, I put them on ignore as soon as I responded. So no, it doesn’t make me silly. But it sure makes you look that way by choosing that, of all things, to pick at.

LOL, same x100000.

Using the first response to an Google search isn’t even decent research. Peptides aren’t legend drugs. Peptides are ingredients in some drugs. Apples aren’t pies. Apples are ingredients in some pies. Apples are to peptides what pies are to drugs. Why don’t you ask the one sitting next to you...

There is also a difference between a research peptide and a drug, whether approved or unapproved. Just as there is a difference between a vitamin and a drug, or a supplement and a drug.

@GtownBrown You seem to be having some technical difficulties with quote responding. I know what I said. You don’t need to regurgitate it.

Pretty hard to prove a negative. Read the code. Read the case law. You’re the one making the claims of illegality, it’s on YOU to back that up. It doesn’t exist.

I think you mean that they are trying to reclassify their name brand drugs as biologics. That would have no impact on peptides in and of themselves remaining peptides.

These code sections do not apply to research peptides, vitamins, or supplements. Peptides themselves — what research peptides are — also aren’t drugs, medications, or pharmaceuticals. Common sense should make this clear to you, given the abundance of domestic single vial sellers of the very...

Hahaha no.

I’m an attorney. You’re wrong. There is no section of the code that makes buying, selling, or engaging in research of research peptides unlawful. Conspiracy requires an overt act in furtherance of a crime. If there is no underlying crime, no conspiracy. Full stop. Do not pass go, do not...

I have.

Cite the section of the USC, please.

This. And if the pharmacy is based on Florida, good luck with any sort of quality control or compliance with USP guidelines.

WTF. Man, Tracy was right. You really are a Fishsteak!

It all makes so much sense now... ;)

Mine is, "It depends."

From name brand Ozempic dispensed by a licensed pharmacy pursuant to a licensed prescriber's prescription, yes.

Same thing applies, the reduction of estrogen contributes to hip pain.

Nope. It is not illegal to sell, buy, or use research peptides. What's illegal is selling research peptides as if they are FDA-approved prescription medication intended for human use, like the Florida med spa lady who was selling pre-filled syringes of "medication" for pick up under her front...

How old are you? My hip pain came on during peri, a known symptom. Improved a lot with Tirz and quite a bit more with HRT.

FWIW, he did prevent us from cursing for a while, modifying our posts to "fiddledewinks" instead of the F bomb, and the like. So, in that way, we were muzzled. :D

Welp, there you go just proving the fact checkers right. Query: How can Coco not have anything to do with Dennis? Do you even know who Coco is? :::wait for it::: Coco is Dennis. Dennis is Coco. If Coco had nothing to do with you being "banned," then neither did Dennis. Your last post was at...

She has you on a GLP-1 and doesn't want you losing weight?

I think you need to adjust your expectations with QSC. You'll get it when you get it.

Zero loss in 4+ weeks is a stall to me.

She sent me one like a month ago. ETA: December 2nd

I trust PT, but I didn't think vendors reshipped based on their tests. I thought they required Jano?

Can I ask how much weight you lost before you came off one of your meds? I had 40 to lose, and was consistently elevated, sometimes Stage 1 on a white coat day. Before I gained that weight, I was consistently "normal" or even low.

A baseline for what, exactly? Date of manufacture? A year later, when the expiration date is still good but it’s likely degraded?

Anyone noticed a change in their blood pressure from Tirz? Either higher or lower? I have major white coat syndrome and my home device isn't the most reliable, so curious what y'all have experienced.

Yes, I plotted out the difference between 7, 5, and 3.5 days. For now, I think I like 3.5 days best, twice a week to match the change of my estrogen patch. It keeps the serum levels high enough that I have all of the benefits, without the extreme peaks that cause bad side effects.

No. That's a new gal on the scene. But I think PT has had a number of "0%" lately, which does make me wonder if it's a source issue or a testing issue.

There are tons of OIG SAs. But their focus is generally on narcotics, bank fraud, and health care fraud (i.e., false claims to Medicare/Medicaid).

Yup, this. Vials for a GB that was made in late October and received just before Thanksgiving are just now on their way in for testing. It'll be like mid-January before it's complete. I don't think I have the patience to do that again.

You can (1) do a GB where the vials are randomly selected and testing and shipping to Jano/PT is included in the cost of the GB purchase, (2) can work with a group of people who all buy the same batch from a vendor, and work between yourselves to randomly select vials, send them in, and split...

Doesn't EL say that as low is 80% (maybe even 70%) is acceptable for use in their T patent? I mean, that's actually BigPharma's documented acceptance rate.

Wasn't there testing by the Jewel/Sabrina lady for GB9 that said it was fine?

Mele Kelikimaka to you, too!

Not that, but with a GB delivery today, it said that it had arrived in my city, then went back to the prior city, then back to my city. Had me nervous and furiously Googling why packages would be returned to Aurora, CO. 🤣
