Besides BPC-157 there seem to be some other interesting peptides

GHK-CU:
Copper Peptide which is a naturally occurring human tri-peptide. In plasma, the level of GHK-Cu is about 200 ng/ml at age 20, but declines to 80 ng/mL by age 60. This decline in the GHK-level coincides with the noticeable decrease in regenerative capacity of an organism.
Scientific studies conducted in different research laboratories around the world have established that human tri-peptide GHK-Cu possesses a multitude of biological actions including activation of wound healing, attraction of immune cells, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, stimulation of collagen and skin regeneration and promotion of blood vessels growth.

Aicar:
In 2008, researcher discovered that Aicar injected in mice significantly improved their performance in endurance-type exercise, apparently by converting fast-twitch muscle fibers to the more energy-efficient, fat-burning, slow-twitch type.
Unexpectedly, even in sedentary mice, 4 weeks of AICAR treatment alone induced metabolic genes and enhanced running endurance by 44%. These results demonstrate that AMPK-PPARδ pathway can be targeted by orally active drugs to enhance training adaptation or even to increase endurance without exercise.

Anyone tried those or any other peptides with success?
There was a japenese study with a GHRP nasal spray, will other peptides also work as nasal spray?

I have been wondering about peptide use as well, in addition to Low dose Immunotherapy. Seems more doctors are using both in their practices, but the impression I get is that the research/science hasn't caught up to the pace of treatment as of yet.
