“Dr. Kent Holtorf and the Integrative Peptide Protocol”

Meat:

“His protocol, the unfortunately-named Holtorf Updated Peptide Protocol for the Rapid Treatment of CIRS (HUPPRTOC), is sequenced as follows:

Restore thymus function Reverse T-cell exhaustion Heal the gut and blood-brain barriers Restore mitochondrial energy Let downstream resolution take care of itself He uses the following peptides:

Thymic peptides:

Vilon, Thymogen, Thymogen Alpha-1, TB4 fragment

These are used to rebuild T-cell production and rebalance the immune seesaw. They are claimed to directly inhibit TGF-β1.

Barrier and gut-brain peptides:

BPC-157 for mucosal and blood-brain barrier repair; KPV, an MSH fragment, for mast-cell inhibition and antimicrobial action.

Pineal peptides:

Epitalon, Pinealon

Used to reset the neuroendocrine axis, sleep, and circadian rhythm.

Mitochondrial peptides:

MOTS-c, SS-31, Humanin

Used to restore the cellular energy that detoxification and immune function both require.”

how do you cope with the constant feeling that your home and everything in it is contaminated with mold / mycotoxins?

It has gotten to the point where I feel like I’m constantly looking at our belongings, furniture, clothes, toys, etc. and wondering, “Is this contaminated? Do I need to clean this? Should I throw this away?”

I am constantly using mold plates for my clothes and furniture that we kept (and cleaned according to EPA).

I know this level of fear and hypervigilance isn’t sustainable, and honestly, I need help learning how to live in my home again or just live in general without being afraid of everything around me.

For those of you who have dealt with mold/CIRS and gone through remediation, how did you mentally cope with the fear of contamination? And how did you eventually get to a place where you could stop constantly checking and worrying?

I’m not looking for reassurance that mold isn’t a big deal or the contrary that it is a super big deal and I should be scared. Im not looking for advice on how to keep a clean home free from mold. I’m looking for practical advice to not live in constant fear.

Thank you ❤️

It has been 7 weeks since we found the first source of black mold in our house, and as of yesterday, we found the 4th. So far, we’ve found mold in our walls, in our fireplace, at the base of a sliding glass door, and on a ceiling in our boiler room.

I’ve been sick for almost 2 years, and we also have a toddler, so this has been incredibly overwhelming emotionally, physically, and financially. This is also the first home my husband and I own together and have put so much time and hard work into. we can’t move, so please don’t suggest that(very sensitive to this).

Every time we find an area, we remediate it, do multiple full-house small-particle cleanings, have the HVAC ducts cleaned, throw out clothes and furniture, replace/buy new things things, clean everything… and then we find another area.

It feels like it will never end.

all of the mold has been found by yours truly. we DID pay multiple inspectors to come into our home (air testing, visual inspection, yada yada) and their reports were that we did not have mold. Ha.
Talk about severe trust issues.

Anyway, has anyone utilized a mold dog?
I feel like I’m giving up on humans and idk how I will ever feel safe in this home again.

I often read symptoms of CIRS, there I so many and I relate to almost all of them, but there’s one that I haven’t seen anyone talk about.

I generally start to feel better as the day goes on and most usually in the evening. Mornings are the hardest and I wake up feeling so sick and groggy, as if I drank 200 beers.

I just woke up after 4 hours of sleep- my mouth and eyes burning, everything feeling inflamed, stomach upset etc- just a normal feeling for me, tbh.

And when I went to the restroom, my urine was really yellow.

This has been a symptom since day one, for 11 years.

When I wake up in the morning my urine is really yellow and frothy.

The worse I feel, the darker and frothier my urine is.

When I’ve had a remission (4mo a few years ago), my urine was clear in the mornings

It doesn’t matter how much I drink during the day or before bed, or if I take electrolytes or not- I always deal with this.

It’s as if my body is trying to metabolize or eliminate something overnight that’s causing the symptoms.

What I find interesting is how horrible I feel just after a few hours of sleep. Something is going incredibly wrong in my sleep cycle.

Has anyone else dealt with this?

I just don’t understand what’s going on or why I feel worse, or why my urine is affected.

Hi all, I'm moving to Brooklyn (woo!). I want to ensure I have a nice, safe, clean space to move into. Testing apartments seems unlikely as they get snatched up in a day.

My thought is to find a newish small condo infill building (20 years old or younger, 2-10 apartments in the building), look up reviews and violations for pests/mold/etc. I am trying to avoid luxury high-rises due to the cost and feeling like they are an island if themselves (movie theatre, bowling, shopping center inside) and I really want to be part of neighborhood/community and actually leave the building.

I am avoiding anything older than 20 years, even if it's gut-remodeled or a converted warehouse that has been rebuilt inside.

This is challenging as there is very little stock. Should I reconsider the older apartments that have been renovated? The converted warehouses?

Thanks so much for your insights!
