I have had a house plant for almost 15 years. Incredibly sturdy, low maintenance, requires limited watering and light. It has maintained beautiful, waxy green leaves and long growing vines for over a decade. Then, in one day, the entire plant, all at once, went limp, then watery and black. The only thing that changed is we moved houses. I am so sad! What can I do to bring it back?
A move is no small impact on an established plant; different light and air, but usually its because the watering gets neglected for period of time.
It doesn't look good, but the only thing you can do is continue to water as you were before the move, and wait a month for a growth response from the roots.
Superthrive is a good rescue remedy:

I'm sorry but that is outside of our means. Try contacting local resources for more help regarding this subject.
Hi, our house is over 100 years old. the front of our house is covered in a vine and we have exposed roots under the floor in the front room. We want to keep the vine but are renovating with new floor beams and floor boards. How do we protect the roots whilst the reovation is being done. Thanks. Maree
There is no easy answer. It would require a site visit, inspection and recommendations by a professional.
It's hard to envision the situation, size and amount of roots without a photo, but if the roots are located at a deep enough level below the work area and do not need to be cut, then covering with a hard plastic or composite "root barrier" material may be worth consideration.
Avoid root wounding and spills or cleanup dumping of adhesives, paints and stains.
Water the plants thoroughly before and after the work is done, and fertilize to provide adequate nutrition and resistance to stress factors.

I agree that from a research perspective, it was far too soon for this to be presented as anything more than a preliminary finding of a relationship. Correlation does not equal causation, right? I think this should be removed or article introduced as "preliminary research suggests a relationship, further research needed..."
A Google scholar search yields results pertaining to this issue. Quorum, Science Daily and https://www.colorado.edu/today/2017/01/05/study-linking-beneficial-bacteria-mental-health-makes-top-10-list-brain-research discuss the early findings of potential interplay between this Mycobacterium and brain health. Results are too preliminary to draw conclusions. They suggest potential research that is needed to look at the immune system and brain health as well as Mycobacterium vaccae's role. Since soil is known to contain pathogenic organisms, the advice to wash hands after gardening and rinse produce still stands.
We regularly check and correct broken links. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
I’ve had this plant since 2016. It keeps growing straight up. In 2018, it drooped over so I placed sticks in the soil to keep it from drooping. Was that the right or wrong thing to do? It has a new branch coming from each main branch. Can I cut the new ones off and start a new pot? Will I harm the plant? I really just do not know what to do with the plant anymore as the vertical growth doesn’t seem sustainable. Any advice would be appreciated!
New and established peperomia plants benefit from annual light pruning to correct any leggy, sparse growth. Pinching back the stems in early spring will help by encouraging more branching. Remove the end of each stem and the first set of leaves, pinching them off between your fingernails.
