DERMATOLOGISTS HATE HIM FOR THIS ONE CRAZY TRICK!!

nibbler novel system for repairing deep skin damage 🧵

(does not liquify your organs probably)…

two months ago I discover interesting 1960s study @haidut unearthed describing mechanism for cyproheptadine to completely dissolve calcified tissue when injected in rat friends

they did WHAT to rats?

48/80 and polymyxin are ‘mast cell inhibitors’, proteins that stimulate buildup of calcium phosphates in cutaneous tissue.

pictured is one such structure that formed under rat skin after an injection of polymyxin

the researchers theorized that due to serotonin’s synergistic relationship to free calcium, that a antihistamines, specifically cyproheptadine, could be used to inhibit the formation of calcium deposits in tissue

when injected with mast cell inhibitors, as seen in earlier photo, calcium deposits established themselves in a day.

HOWEVER, when injected with cyproheptadine in conjunction with inhibitors, calcium deposits were not present at autopsy!

the cyproheptadine appears to bind with heparin, a molecule that stimulates coagulation, preventing circulating calcium phosphates to stabilize in the tissue


nibbler, who cares?

this is interesting because wrinkles, scarring of all types, and other lesions are the byproduct of heavily calcified, fibrotic tissue. (final page of study applies to previous twet)

as our metabolisms wane, or ability to clear or prevent calcium deposits from forming fails, precipitating a buildup that reduces skin elasticity or creating larger scars when we are injured.

while research has validated the efficacy of similar antihistamines such as the readily available ketitofen, there’s a paucity of evidence anyone’s used cyproheptadine for this purpose

I propose that a mechanism for saturating skin tissue with cyproheptadine could reverse scarring and wrinkle formation. dermarolling is perfect for this as it’s been proven to support the saturation of compounds into the skin

THE PROTOCOL:

you could probably dermaroll the area of concern every few days and then apply 0.5-2mg cyproheptadine.

I am applying this on my cheeks and address small acne scarring.

good luck, I take no responsibility for you
