Key Findings
- Thymogen was injected into submaxillary and chin lymph nodes as part of a multi‑modal therapy
- Patients showed normalized oral mucosa and reduced yeast after 5‑6 sessions
- Cellular and humoral immunity parameters returned toward normal levels
Practical Outcomes
- Thymogen may boost immune function enough to help clear oral fungal infections, but the protocol used many other components and lacks a control group. For DIY biohackers, it’s a hint that thymogen could be useful for immune support, yet more rigorous, isolated studies are needed before adopting it as a standalone treatment.
Summary
A small study gave patients with oral thrush a mix of injections—including the peptide thymogen—into specific lymph nodes, plus other treatments, over 5‑6 sessions. After the course, mouth lesions cleared, yeast levels dropped, and immune measures improved.
Abstract
Lymphotropic and endolymphatic therapy was carried out in 52 patients with candidiasis of the buccal mucosa. After preliminary injection of lidase, levorin was injected subcutaneously in the middle third of the shin to patients in a standing posture, after which a cuff with 45-50 mm Hg pressure was placed on the femur for 2-2.5 hours. Immunocorrector thymogen was injected in the submaxillary and chin lymph nodes. A course consisted of 5-6 sessions. The status of the buccal mucosa normalized after treatment. Contamination of the mucosa with yeast cells appreciably decreased, the content of substances with medium-molecular mass in the saliva reduced, and cellular and humoral immunity parameters normalized.
