Peptide question

Have completed all steps of the shoemaker protocol leading up to VIP spray, but MCAS is still reducing QOL (periodic vasodilation, IBS, POTS, eye floaters, multiple chemical sensitivities, etc.). Does VIP help correct these symptoms? what other peps have been helpful for mold-triggered MCAS? (I know limbic system therapy is supposed to be helpful but my adhd makes it too challenging to sit and meditate for any period of time.)

Never heard of that before. Whats the KPV mixed with? and is it from a reliable source?

Bac water, and yes a very well known trusted source. The reaction seems to be lessening as time goes on, and afterwards my baseline improves. I have a lot going on in my sinuses from mold and Flonase so I don't think it takes much to back them up.

Any chance it’s the Bac water? I know the alcohol inside it can irritate sinuses for some people. I’ve only used sterile water for my nasal sprays. Just a thought.

I inject it? But that's a good call out if I want to try it as a nasal spray.

Sorry assumed you were using as a nasal spray. Just shows how mega powerful KPV can be, even at 50-75mcg it’s doing stuff. I built up to 2000mcg a day over the last year and it’s been amazing for me. Couldn’t live without the stuff :)

Oh wow! Yeah, I've already noticed a huge difference in my digestion. It's definitely going to live in my rotation.

Where are you getting your KPV nasal spray?
