Update On My Father in the ER - The Great Awakening

posted 50 days ago by HonestBobbin 50 days ago by HonestBobbin +142 / -0

Thank you all for those prayers & love. While we may disagree on some specifics on this board, the unity & love we genuinely have for each other is an amazing blessing to each of us.

UPDATE - My father's surgery went well. Apparently half of his gal bladder was necrotic & had huge stone in him. The surgeon & nurses are good friends with my wife & irrigated/flushed everything out really well. They do not expect any septic complications.

He actually did begin sepsis either the night before, or the day we took him into the hospital. The theory about him still zoning out occasionally is from that, being old, and multiple other medical conditions he has mildly ignored for as long as I have been alive. Old cowboy who just tough it out mindset.

They expect a full recovery, though needed to cut the incisions a littler larger than normal to remove everything correctly, and he cannot walk on his own. As well he cannot lie down flat without incredible pain at this point. The medical staff (along with my wife) agree he should go into a rehab center to help him care for himself for 2-4 weeks so he can get assistance getting into the bathroom & have physical therapists & trained techs to help him get back to beating able to carry his own weight (over 300lbs).

My mother is so emotional because she isn't "strong enough" to help him get into the bathroom, though she laughed when I told her she was the only woman/mother I know who was strong enough to put up with rasing me well enough to stay out of prison & to be so dedicated to raising my children to live with high morals & reject making the same mistakes I made growing up.

He will be in a facility about 35-45 minutes away due to the closer ones all having a bad reputation in the medical community locally. Both in opposite directions, both with a really good track record & patient care reviews.

There is still a long healing process & recovery, though it looks really hopeful now.

Again thank you all so much for your prayers, research (seems statistically myself & my baby bro are likely to have similar issues if we don't make some changes too). I will be putting much of that into practice & seem to have many of the supplements & herbs already from getting ready for possible Covid issues a couple years back.

I love you frogs & truly feel even now that in this community WWG1WGA already.

Again ❤️🤗💗🫂💕 you all!

Do you know what the most bio available form or college happens to be?

My mother just told me she is taking it so she can move around better.

I should really start reading those papers to figure this stuff out :D

edit - I really need to start commenting back after looking at context.

The most bioavailable form of collagen is hydrolyzed collagen, also known as collagen peptides. BPC-157 Body Protection Compound-157 is another peptide that would provide a more clinical difference though or taken alonside collegen peptides. These both have roughly 95% bioavailability.

Collagen's Clinical Mechanism for Joint Healing

Cartilage Repair and Maintenance
- Mechanism: Collagen, particularly type II collagen, is the primary protein in articular cartilage, which cushions joints. When collagen is degraded (e.g., due to injury or osteoarthritis), cartilage loses its integrity. Supplementing collagen peptides helps provide the building blocks for synthesizing new collagen fibers in the extracellular matrix, supporting cartilage repair.
- Clinical Impact: Collagen peptides stimulate chondrocytes (cells that produce cartilage) to synthesize more collagen and proteoglycans, improving the structural integrity of the cartilage and potentially reducing joint pain.
Reduction of Inflammation
- Mechanism: Collagen peptides may have anti-inflammatory effects by modulating immune cell activity in the joint space. This can help reduce joint swelling and prevent further damage.
- Clinical Impact: By lowering inflammation, collagen supplementation helps create a more favorable environment for tissue repair and healing.
Enhanced Tissue Regeneration
- Mechanism: Collagen promotes fibroblast proliferation, which leads to the production of connective tissue that supports tendons and ligaments. These tissues are vital for joint stability and movement.
- Clinical Impact: Collagen peptides improve the strength and elasticity of tendons and ligaments, reducing injury risk and promoting faster recovery after joint trauma.
Increased Synthesis of Extracellular Matrix Components
- Mechanism: Collagen peptides stimulate the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (e.g., hyaluronic acid) and elastin, which are essential for maintaining joint lubrication and resilience.
- Clinical Impact: This contributes to the overall health and function of synovial joints by improving flexibility and reducing friction between articulating surfaces.

BPC-157's Mechanism and Why It May Be Useful for Joint Healing

BPC-157 is a peptide with powerful regenerative and healing properties, and its potential use in joint healing is supported by several mechanisms:

Angiogenesis (Formation of New Blood Vessels)
- Mechanism: BPC-157 promotes angiogenesis, improving blood supply to injured areas, including joints. This enhanced blood flow delivers oxygen and essential nutrients, accelerating tissue repair.
- Clinical Impact: Joint tissues like tendons and ligaments often have poor blood supply, which delays healing. BPC-157's ability to stimulate angiogenesis makes it particularly useful for repairing these areas.
Accelerated Collagen Synthesis
- Mechanism: BPC-157 stimulates fibroblasts to produce more collagen, which is crucial for the repair and regeneration of connective tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
- Clinical Impact: By boosting collagen production, BPC-157 can promote faster healing of joint-related tissues, restoring their structural integrity and function.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
- Mechanism: BPC-157 has been shown to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, decreasing inflammation in injured tissues. It also helps protect tissues from oxidative stress, further limiting inflammation and damage.
- Clinical Impact: Reducing inflammation not only relieves pain but also prevents further tissue degradation, creating a better environment for joint repair.
Protection and Healing of Tendons and Ligaments
- Mechanism: BPC-157 enhances the healing of tendons and ligaments by modulating various growth factors and promoting cell proliferation and migration.
- Clinical Impact: Tendon and ligament injuries, common in joint trauma, can benefit from the peptide's ability to stimulate repair and reinforce the strength of these structures.
Joint Capsule Integrity and Synovial Fluid Production
- Mechanism: BPC-157 may protect the joint capsule (the fibrous tissue surrounding joints) and stimulate the production of synovial fluid, which lubricates and nourishes the joint.
- Clinical Impact: Improved joint lubrication can reduce friction and wear on the cartilage, slowing the progression of joint degeneration and improving overall joint function.
