Glow/Klow & Cancer History: Risky?

Hey everyone, I'm a total newbie here and on other forums as well. I'm finding conflicting info about GLOW/KLOW and whether it's safe for my research subject, someone with a past cancer diagnosis (treated in 2018 with surgery and radiation, monitored yearly, thankfully showing no signs of return).

Some sources say it's fine to use, but to avoid MT-1/MT-2. Others advise against any growth hormone-based peptides, while some warn against the bpc-157/tb-500 in glow/klow for anyone with a cancer history.

I've been going in circles with my research because of these mixed opinions. I'm curious to hear what you all think. Yay, nay, or proceed with caution on a short-term basis?

FYI, the research is mainly focused on hair and skin, so the ghk-cu is the main attraction. I have some minor issues with an old shoulder injury and a fear of the copper burn, which led me to consider the blends.
 
I'm wondering the same thing! I had a melanoma removed back in '19. I'm taking a chance with Klow for now, and I've seen mixed info too. I'm trying to eliminate other things that could cause cancer, hoping that will be enough to keep me safe.
 
Check out Dr. Bhatti, an MD oncologist, on TikTok (yeah, I know...). He has several videos where he recommends avoiding klow, glow, tb500, bpc, and the -morelin's because they all use angiogenesis, which is the same pathway cancer uses to spread.
 
He's actually one of the people I was looking at! But then other doctors on the same app are saying it can actually help with post-cancer scars so, the message is really confusing, even among doctors.

I'm thinking of trying one cycle of just bpc-157 for the shoulder since the more cautious sources say no to tb-500, but maybe bpc-157 short-term is ok. I don't see how a short cycle would be much riskier than a lot of other things we do that are linked to cancer. My research subject even had radiation to the head... cancer treatment itself can CAUSE cancer.

After that, I'm planning to just stick to ghk-cu for hair/skin.
 
I've been researching peptides for a long time and enjoy finding user experiences. So far, I haven't seen anyone say that BPC-157/TB500 made their cancer worse. Maybe it's because most people think these compounds can help cancer spread faster due to angiogenesis, so at-risk people usually avoid them.

I did see one guy on Reddit with a prostate tumor in remission who's been using BPC-157/TB500 long-term and hasn't had any problems (yet).

Also, one study showed BPC-157 had anti-cancer effects when added to cancer cells in a dish.

So, I guess that doesn't really answer the question. If I had cancer or a high chance of getting it, I'd probably stay away from those peptides. It really depends on how much risk you're willing to take.
 
It sounds like people are just being extra careful because of the initial research. I'm sure there would be huge news stories about peptides causing cancer if that was really happening, and they'd be banned from healthcare use.
 
BPC-157 and TB500 aren't going to cause cancer, but they can help existing cancers grow. Angiogenesis is not new, and many regular drugs can cause it. These peptides are supposed to increase blood flow to damaged areas to help them heal, and cancers are seen as damage. But in this case, it has the opposite effect and grows the cancer.
 
As far as we know, none of them directly cause cancer. Maybe MT1/MT2 with melanoma, but I haven't looked into that much. The worries come from angiogenesis in some and the IGF-1 increase in others. Neither will GIVE you cancer. But if you have cancer or an undiagnosed tumor, they could feed and grow it.
 
I think it's that they don't cause cancer, but they'll make any cancer you already have grow faster. So: if you don't have cancer cells, GLOW/KLOW won't hurt you. If you do, GLOW/KLOW will help them grow. But not taking it won't make the cancer go away, either. It's a risk you have to decide about for yourself.

And the copper burn isn't that bad! The shot is normal. You might get a welt/bruise later. It might hurt a little, but I'd say it's a bit worse than a mosquito bite and not as bad as a headache.
 
If you're cancer-free, there's no proof GLOW/KLOW will give you cancer.

But if you DO have cancer, it'll make it grow like crazy. That could mean the difference between catching it early or late, which could be life or death. The same things that help healing also help tumors grow and spread.

If you have a non-cancerous tumor, it makes it more likely to become cancerous. It's not guaranteed, but it increases the risk.
 
One oncologist told me there are two kinds of people – those who die from cancer and those who die with it. Another told me there are three types – those who know they have cancer, those who don't know yet, and the lucky ones who die without ever knowing. I guess if you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail?
 
Just a heads up everyone, I saw on the other forum that Olympia Pharmacy is recalling several compounded injectables, including Sermorelin, because they were out-of-specification. If you use them, they are notifying customers by mail to arrange returns.
 
I hear what everyone is saying about the risks, but also remember that everything has potential downsides. I saw an alert that the FDA has received reports of adverse events from TOPICAL finasteride, including ED, anxiety and even suicidal thoughts. It was absorbed through the skin! So orals are not the only thing to worry about...

Wow that's crazy, thanks for the heads up. It's a minefield out there!
