A thread for the “elixir of youth" protein GDF11

[Jaybee00]

So apparently a patient on another forum had severe MECFS and went into remission after taking GDF11 for two months.

Maybe @Hip could add a little more to the story?

Is it this?

I believe BMP is what some neurosurgeons were using in the fusions for CCI, but they are a different kind (3 & 7). I'm not familiar of any study examining their expression in me/cfs.

Did he take it orally as a peptide? What was the original thought process?
