Prostate and use of GHRH/GHRP

[Rhea Rogers]

I have an 85 yo male that the Urologist was following for his rising PSA which was last at 18 .He was going to get an MRI at 6 months.  HI started him on oral BPC-157 500mg bid approximately 4 weeks ago. At his Urology appointment his PSA went from 18 now to 13 so they are not getting a MRI. It looks like it was all inflammation. Do you think it is safe to start CJC1295/Ipamorelin and thymosin Beta 4

Hello @drkriswyahoo-com, @cpaigepaigemd-com and  @drerikaeshealth-com, would love to have your inputs here.

Thank you! 🙂

If inflammation is a concern and especially in that age range you might consider TA-1 for immune modulation for a month or so before introducing GH augmentation.   Autophagy promotion with fasting mimicking, intermittent fasting, senomodulation ie rapamycin et al. before tb4 for sure and probably the cjc/ipa.

[Mitchell Fleisher, M.D., D.Ht., D.A.B.F.M.]

He may also benefit from a 60-day course of KPV 500 mcg po BID, since it is anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic, before initiating CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin.

I just saw your post-Urologist here. In addition to the wise recommendations already given, the obvious thing to do is closely monitor his PSA. PSA 18, 13 is a significant elevation and a concern for prostate cancer.  Even though he is 85 yo, if he is healthy with a reasonable life expectancy prostate cancer is a concern. I don’t have enough peptide smarts at this point to know what the potential effects on undiagnosed prostate cancer could be.

@bbsloanecomcast-net

would you recommend a %free PSA and as long as it is above 20 would you wait on an MRI for a patient with an elevated PSA?

[Bruce Sloane]

% PSA is only valid for PSA between 4-10. If the PSA is above 20 I would be very concerned about prostate cancer. In general it is not recommended to screen men for prostate cancer in their 80’s unless they request it. Most prostate cancers are low grade and rarely metastesize. In this case however the cat is already out of the bag so one is now obligated to address this PSA, especially if this is a healthy octogenarian. MRI would be my recommendation.

Any recommendations for someone looking to benefit from peptides AFTER having prostate removed due to cancer?  Client wants to lose belly fat but has stopped TRT.

GLP-1’s or GHRH should be OK assuming no metastatic disease
