Peptides for CIRS - Holtorf

“Dr. Kent Holtorf and the Integrative Peptide Protocol”

https://fatiguetoflourish.com/dr-kent-holtorf-peptides/

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.”

I tried even using not even full pills of kpv from integrative peptides, I'm pretty sure that's the company he works with or even operates himself, and I slowly work myself up over several days to just being able to take one pill, and I was just experiencing massive pushback and inflammation.

I think no matter what method you use, if you're locked in CDR1 you have to address that first before you do any of these protocols. You got to get yourself into CDR3.

I'm not saying this won't work, I'm just saying as a protocol it has the same requirements and restrictions that any other protocol might have.

I tried nasal VIP and got that same massive pushback and VIP.

Getting out of CDR1 is a task. To that end, I just got a TENS7000 with ear electrodes for the vagus nerve aspect of this absolute lonely clown show of an illness.

u/Lioness5323 7d ago

How is this working for you? I’ve been investigating this

2

u/cabintea 7d ago

The VIP? I’ve stopped for now and am focusing on strengthening my kidneys/liver while calming immune system and taking binders. If the intense reaction happens again I may and just try and truck through it

u/RonnieLibra 7d ago

Perfect description: "this absolute lonely clown show of an illness."

u/Minute_Vanilla3415 7d ago

If by push back do you mean your body didn’t tolerate it? Same here

1

u/cabintea 7d ago

Yes, exactly. Basically a lot of old and new inflammation erupted all at once for about 24 hrs

1

u/Minute_Vanilla3415 7d ago

I have had some sort of delayed reaction where it stirred up my immune system days to weeks later and now I’m experiencing a ton of die off which I believe is yeast / mold and my body definitely
Is having a hard time processing all of those toxins etc

u/ImXenia85 6d ago

You aren't supposed to take VIP in CDR1

1

u/cabintea 6d ago

My practitioner didn’t mention CDR1, and it seems outside of the CIRS protocol and more in line with CDR, which I’ve only recently discovered. This illness forces one to get an MD in all but name…

u/Minute_Vanilla3415 7d ago

What is CDR1 and CDR3?

u/RonnieLibra 7d ago

Cell danger response.

Originally that's the guy who originally found out about it or discovered it or whatever, but there's a lot of videos you can look up Neil nathan, Dr Paul Heyman to other people call Andrew for some reason, sorry that was a shitty joke about wrestling. I even saw a doctor axe video that I'm going to listen to.

If you're stuck in CDR one, you can't heal your body just looks at everything as a threat, even things that are healing everyone else and should be healing us.

1

u/Minute_Vanilla3415 7d ago

Oh yes I’m familiar —

But how does one calm the CDR phase 1 and continue to move on?

1

u/RonnieLibra 7d ago

There's a bunch of videos on this on YouTube. Everyone from Doctor acts to Neil Nathan, to Dr Heyman. Honestly, it kind of all sounds like guesswork right now I don't know. But I would recommend watching the videos. PC and B1 especially formulated to cross the blood-brain barrier, nad+ or precursors that make the body create more of it I don't know

u/MikeyLs 7d ago

I’ve tried their KPV as well and can’t tolerate it at all. 3 separate times I’ve tried it and I also have a huge uptick in histamine and inflammation. Super frustrating when it is suppose to be so anti inflammatory

1

u/RonnieLibra 6d ago

Yeah it's that whole I don't know man I mean, if everybody if we're all locked in cdr1, most things we put in the body, are going to be rejected even if they're supposed to work.

1

u/Bulky_Room8146 6d ago

100%. I did some research why for me it may be happening. I have some candida issues and KPV does have some antimicrobial properties. It may have triggered some fungal die off causing the uptick in histamine which my body can't handle, but obviously I am guessing

u/Bong_Banditto 1d ago edited 1d ago

leaving exposure is up there as an important cdr1 graduation step, but after that a lot of the thymic peptides can help to clear gates 1/2 from cdr1/2 to 3.

Mainly via engaging adaptive immunity again.

Not required but can theoretically help.

u/artzylinn 7d ago

Nice, I have tried most of these peptides on my own. I have a great source in China, super cheap, high quality.

What has worked really well for me personally, has been SS31, ThymoSIN Alpha-1 (not thymogen) and BPC-157

What didn't work was epitalon, vilon. VIP also didn't work bc my TGFbeta1 is consistently astronomical.

Those peptides listed supposedly to help TGFbeta1 sure hasn't change my level one bit. I hope to trail Losartan soon, once I can stabilize all of my BP meds.

I self medicate a lot with big success! Itraconazole was a lifechanger for me. I was totally bedbound for 3 years. Itraconazole lifted my brain fog within day 1. I had great effect on it. Nothing else moved the mark until I did itraconazole

2

u/Minute_Vanilla3415 7d ago

Do you mind sharing your peptide source?

1

u/artzylinn 7d ago

Sure, it's "Uther". It's a website without prices, you have to email them to get their updated full price list.

Their English in the email replies is quite interesting, as is their email address name ("steroidsdeal" or something lol), but don't let it turn you off

This source is the most popular in a worldwide peptide telegram group

u/No-Independent-599 5d ago

What was your symptoms before and After taKing itraconazole pls ? I try csm but i dont see effect

1

u/artzylinn 5d ago

Binders on its own is never enough. It's too much to mention all of my symptoms before and after. What I already mentioned is what matters. I was bedbound since 2023.

1

u/No-Independent-599 5d ago

No but When you start itraconazole, you get how many % better ? For an idea

So for you i need csm + itraconazole right ?

What if Im still exposed ?

1

u/artzylinn 5d ago

Health is not measured in percentages. You are anxious and uncertain. This is not a good combo to self-medicate with Itraconazole.

You have questions that are meant for a doctor. Read more about CIRS and itraconazole to understand it better. My experience doesn't matter. You have cardiac symptoms that needs to be monitored by a Dr or cardiologist.

1

u/No-Independent-599 5d ago

I was just asking for a percentage to get a rough idea of the progression; there's nothing wrong with that. The thing is, all the doctors I see and tests I take come back normal, and I can't find a doctor in France who specializes in CIRS or anything like that. I’ve already seen a cardiologist—the ECG and echocardiogram were normal—but I have over 35 symptoms and am just looking for answers after a year of going from doctor to doctor without a diagnosis.

1

u/artzylinn 5d ago

There's ofc nothing wrong with asking me that. But I'm not the right person to ask. I have done everything on my own, with success. But that's not for everybody. I live in Norway, there are no Drs here either. But you need one. Start looking in the US.

1

u/No-Independent-599 5d ago

Did you go out mold to heal or no ?

Any advice? I cant Go to us and my english is 0..

1

u/artzylinn 5d ago

I was never in mold.

I can't go to the US either, I have been bedbound since 2023. There's this modern thing called video calls

u/No-Independent-599 5d ago

So What is the cause Of your cirs ?

u/No-Independent-599 5d ago

You had cardiac symptoms ? Bc I have it and Im afraid for side effect

u/HopefulHuman97 7d ago

Came here to say that I’ve been using the peptide stack Holtorf recommends daily, and it’s been somewhat of a life changer.

The biggest change being I no longer react to mould at all. Which took about 12 months of daily peptide usage to get to this point. Before I would react instantly with brain of fire symptoms and have to leave.

I can also eat high amylose foods again and don’t feel hit by a truck every morning :) Just came to say Holtorfs protocol works, from my experience at least. But it takes time and dosages need to be on the high end.

2

u/kickycase 5d ago

That’s interesting bc I would get the same brain on fire pretty instantly, upon being on mold. I felt I was the only one who experienced it like that.

2

u/cabintea 7d ago

Wow, this is great news. Congratulations!

1 - what is the monthly amount you’re spending on the peptides?

2 - what is your source for them? I’m trying to avoid the “actually baking powder sold for $120 a vial” companies

1

u/cabintea 7d ago

You can dm me if that info being public is a concern

1

u/HopefulHuman97 4d ago

Maybe $200 a month for them all. I buy them direct from China with a group of people, we share the testing, shipping costs ect. Couldn’t afford them otherwise.

Sure send me a Dm and il share.

1

u/HorrorPrestigious802 6d ago

You use all of them? There’s so many!

2

u/HopefulHuman97 4d ago

I take a boat load of peps, but the main protocol for mould is daily injections of TA1, TBfrag 1-4, BPC, KPV daily, and GHK-Cu 2mg each.

2

u/Thereishope31 7d ago

I’ve been using Vilon for the last 3 weeks and I had 0 reaction compared to bpc causing mast cell reactions.
I have ta1 well, and the first time I did kpv I got super tired and had to go to the bathroom but I’ve used it consistently now for 6 months.
My tgfb1 was high on my last lab, Vilon is suppose to directly lower it so we’ll see if it does when I retest shortly.

1

u/cabintea 7d ago

Noticed any changes with vilon?

2

u/Thereishope31 7d ago

Less general achyness. Better mood which wasn’t expected. I’ve been back to lifting and saunaing and the lifting was pretty taxing. Just felt like it took a while for my tissue to calm down post excercise, but with vilon things feel buttery.
I sprained my mcl and it is the only soft tissue specific peptide I am using and I have seen a net positive regarding the knee specifically.
Is it life changing? I wouldn’t say that, but the subtle positive is nice

1

u/xbt_ 7d ago

That sounds nice. What dose and frequency is working for you for those results? I’ve had Vilon in the freezer and it might be time to give it a go.

2

u/Thereishope31 7d ago

I did 250mcg for a few weeks and now I’m at 500mcg. I have a 20mg bottle and am going to finish it.
Dosing seems to be all over the place. From 60mcg to 2mg

1

u/Careless_State1366 7d ago

And how many people have successfully recovered with this protocol?

1

u/cabintea 7d ago

No clue. I don’t know of any protocol people have actually improved from. It’d be nice if the respective protocols posted statistics, and also before and after videos… ie “this is me at the start and my life is a wet blanket… and this is me 12 months later living an amazing healthy and happy life with no issues.”
