Hi , my best friends son is dying from liver failure, they are trying another 5 day IV treatment in hopes his liver will respond, I guess my question is has anyone had any success using BPC -157 ? I'm taking it for my chronic pain conditions & I am grasping at straws trying to help my friend, her son is only 32 & unfortunately a bad alcoholic. Was hoping someone could tell me if they used this or could tell me if they 🤔 BPC 157 might help ? Thank you in advance for any n all advice

If your friends son is in hospital then rest assured the medics are doing all in their power, using tried, tested, safe and effective treatments to try to get him over this crisis point.

No over the counter or so called regenerative supplements will help and may even do more harm since the liver will need to process whatever chemicals they contain too.

Medics will fight all the way for this lad and if he gets over crisis point then the hard work will begin with him needing to get and stay sober and get healthy again.

There are forum members who have come back from this stage, some have gone on to have successful liver trsnsplants. Sadly, there are forum members who lost their loved ones. It's a case of hoping he gets through the current crisis point and I wish you, him and his loved ones all the best of luck.

All I can say is it’s not always end of life when they say it is, they told me that I wouldn’t last the night when I went in . I will say the doctors and I have worked very hard but that was 20 years ago. So I wish you, your friend and her son All of the best of luck 💕💕💕.

Stay safe All
