So this is where the interest in thymic peptides is very elusive.
We have to figure out if the STPs or the PTEs are the more interesting ones.
There's synthetic thymic peptides, thymus alpha-1, thymus beta-4, thymulin, and there's purified thymic extracts.
this is the two different research committees that exist when it comes to thymus, which one will be more advantageous?
Vladimir Kavinsky came up with the thymolin injectable and oral versions of that.
And he had positive immune markers and he showed like CD4 cells come up and CD8 cells improve and all those immune markers become a more youthful state, let's say.
But unfortunately what's happening here is
we don't have thymologists, like we don't have a branch of medicine that's dedicated to this aspect of immunity.
Like there's, you know, allergy and immunologists, but they focus more on, you know,
allergies to different agents or very severe immune diseases.
They're not really addressing the immunity of the general public and how you can boost that.
And I think post-pandemic, a lot of people started asking, hey, how can I have better immunity for myself?
And now, finally, people are starting to talk about the thymus.
Unfortunately, it's been a little too late.
That would have been great during the pandemic because
we could have used these thymic-focused interventions, whether it be zinc or thymic peptides or purified thymic extracts to augment immunity of the population as a whole, especially because Dr. Javinson was doing this in the 70s in Russia.
Even in Russia, they don't really look kindly to this research.
The Soviet era research has been kind of pushed aside and it's like more big farmer style because it's more profitable because how many thymuses are you going to inject into people and how many thymuses exist on the planet to make these different peptides from?
Yeah.
So it'd be very interesting if we can get that.
