| The peptide is simply a natural chemical made of amino acids strung together, and it can destroy bacteria by penetrating their membranes. These natural antibiotics do not damage normal cells as man-made antibiotics do, which means they are much more useful than any pharmaceutical drug when treating human infections, but there is a major problem. These natural antibiotics cannot be patented, which means there is no pharmaceutical company interested in researching this further. There is no pharmaceutical company that actually wants any of this information disclosed. |

 Insulin also promotes the storage of amino acids in the liver that are used to help sustain energy 5-6 hours after the meal.182
Muscles throughout the body, depending on how much they have been used, are also stimulated to take up blood sugar and store it as glycogen for future use. If muscle tissue breakdown has occurred, as from exercise, then insulin is also a key signal that enables muscles to take up protein to rebuild themselves. The use of muscle is essential for conditioning the body to use insulin and glucose correctly. |

 Gerry: Well, spirulina is certainly a good source of protein, it contains all the essential amino acids, it's also a very good source of vitamin B-12, something that is difficult for vegetarians to get from other sources. And certainly as with everyone, it's a great source of antioxidant carotenoid.
Mike: So, just back to that vitamin B-12, to let people know, that's more traditionally derived from animal proteins.
Gerry: That's correct.
Mike: And as a complete protein, spirulina beats beans or rice or other protein sources that don't have all the amino acids.
Gerry: That's correct. |

 From what we know about receptors, this involves a subtle but widespread change in the receptor's structure, a small rearrangement of its constituent amino acids called a 'conformational change'. When that change occurs, the receptor, through other lock-and-key mechanisms, can turn on other things and trigger the cell's response to the initial small molecule signal. But this still does not answer the next, harder question. After all, getting a key into the lock is all very well, but once it's in there what actually turns the key and causes this conformational change? |

 He put me on a very specific nutritional regimen of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements, hormones and herbs as well. He made various dietary recommendations that changed my way of eating. He asked me if I had a history of drug abuse, and I did not because I had been an athlete and I did not use street drugs. He said, "Well, you are very lucky. You just might succeed in smuggling these vitamins back into the hospital. But if you get them inside, you better hide them, because if they catch you with them they will confiscate them. |

 We do know that it changes the way electrolytes are handled in the nervous system, as well as the relative amounts of several amino acids. It also has some effects on the fats that reside in cell walls, which may help to "calm" the cells, and it changes the way serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine are released and accepted within the brain.
Introduced in 1928, phenytoin is the oldest antiseizure drug in existence that does not have a sedative effect. |
| You may also run short if you're on a vegetarian diet and not getting enough of the amino acids needed to make carnitine.
When You Run Short of Carnitine
A deficiency may cause fatigue, muscle weakness, and confusion.
What the Research Shows
Carnitine is being investigated as a possible aid in treating dementia and for strengthening the immune system, warding off cardiovascular disease, and combating chronic fatigue syndrome. Although it's too early to draw definitive answers, some of the studies are intriguing, especially those concerning Alzheimer's disease. |
| Carnitine is not considered an essential nutrient because it's made in the body from two amino acids; however, we do get some from our food.
Carnitine is concentrated in the skeletal muscles, heart muscle, and other parts of the body that use fatty acids as their energy source. The body uses carnitine to keep the right amounts of cholesterol and triglycerides (fats) in the blood and to prevent too many fatty acids from accumulating in the muscles, liver, and heart.
Deficiencies of carnitine are rarely seen. However, problems with the liver or kidneys can lead to a shortfall. |
| Once inside, they interfere with the bacteria's protein manufacturing processes, causing it to misread its messenger RNA, so the wrong amino acids are put together. The resulting proteins just don't work, and the bacteria dies.
But many strains of bacteria have figured out how to keep the aminoglycosides at bay, primarily by secreting enzymes that deactivate them. They have also evolved in ways that keep these medicines from getting through their cell membranes.
Fortunately, a number of bacteria that cause severe infections still cannot resist aminoglycosides such as tobramycin. |

 RNA then uses these instructions to select the individual amino acids (which are found in protein-containing foods) needed to make a specific protein or enzyme. These proteins and enzymes form the foundation of thousands of bio-chemicals, from hormones to neurotransmitters, required for your body to function.
How Genes Turn On
Over the years many researchers have attributed great powers to genes, often suggesting that they predestine most aspects of your health and disease risk. But by themselves genes do absolutely nothing. |
| Problems occur when various amino acids are not present during transcription. If a needed protein or enzyme cannot be created, its absence may have enormous repercussions, such as low levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin and resultant depression.
Even when DNA transcription occurs with reasonable accuracy, other obstacles can prevent the production of proteins. For example, overcooking proteins creates substances known as advanced glycation end products, or AGEs. Like free radicals, AGEs easily damage DNA. |
| Raw protein provides the least adulterated amino acids. Sashimi, which uses raw but high-quality cuts of fish, is usually safe when prepared by an experienced chef. Unfortunately, bacterial and parasitic contamination of meat and chicken is common and almost always requires at least some cooking.
The heat of cooking modifies the structure of proteins, and the more food is cooked—at either higher temperatures or for greater lengths of time—the greater those alterations. |
| Protein Sources
These protein sources provide both amino acids and vitamins. Select one serving from this group as part of your meal: chicken (various cuts) game meats (various cuts) eggs shellfish fish turkey (various cuts)
Optional protein sources include these: beef (lean) lamb yogurt (unsweetened or sugar-free) hard cheeses pork
Vegetables for Cooking
Vegetables are high in vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and fiber. |
| From biological and biochemical standpoints, animal proteins are the most efficient; they are complete proteins in the sense that they contain all the nutritionally essential amino acids. Vegetarian sources of protein must be carefully combined to achieve the full suite of essential proteins. In addition, vegetarian sources of protein, such as legumes, provide substantial amounts of carbohydrate calories. In other words, legumes and other vegetarian sources of protein have less nutrient density and may be inappropriate for people who are overweight. |

 Humans must include adequate amounts of 9 amino acids in their diet.
Professor T. Colin Campbell shows in his book, The China Study, that the U.S. RDA for protein is greatly overestimated. Studies of the diets of chimpanzees compared to that of humans confirm the same truth. "Chimpanzees maintain a fairly low and constant protein intake, due to their focus on fruit.. ,"17
I have looked at the nutritional content of dozens of various green vegetables and I was pleased to see that the aminos that were low in one plant were high in another. |

 While the "lower quality" plant proteins may be lacking in one or more of the essential amino acids, as a group they do contain all of them.
The concept of quality really means the efficiency with which food proteins are used to promote growth. This would be well and good if the greatest efficiency equaled the greatest health, but it doesn't, and that's why the terms efficiency and quality are misleading. |

 Proteins are needed to supply the body with amino acids. Some researchers are studying the similarities between hypoglycemia and ADD/ADHD. It is possible that a large number of ADD/ADHD diagnoses are in actuality hypoglycemia in disguise. The symptoms are so similar it is difficult to separate them. A low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet, particularly at breakfast, should assist in reducing symptoms if it is truly hypoglycemia.

| Fruits and seeds are typically high in proteins, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Green fruits are similar to leafy vegetables but are generally more nutritious, especially when they are eaten raw. Coloured fruits usually have higher levels of some nutrients than their green counterparts. Red peppers, for example, supply much more vitamin A and vitamin C than green peppers. Orange pumpkin flesh is a rich source of vitamin A, while green pumpkin has much less. Raw is better than cooked, and stir-fried is better than boiled, but the main feature of good nutrition is variety. |

| Contrary to this, your body would have a hard time trying to make a perfect molecule of protein out of someone else's molecules, which consist of totally different combinations of amino acids. Plus, your body would most likely receive a lot of unnecessary pieces that are hard to digest. These pieces would be floating around in your blood like garbage for a long time, causing allergies and other health problems. Professor W. A. |

 You have other amino acids that can't compete for glutamic acid absorption. So that may be one way to help reduce the rate at which it would be absorbed.
Mike: Which aminos would those be?
Dr. Blaylock: Those would include leucine, isoleucine and lysine. They would compete for the same carrier system, so that would slow down absorption. There are a lot of things that act as glutamate blockers. You know, like silimarin, curcumin and ginkgo biloba. These things are known to directly block glutamate receptors and reduce excitotoxicity. Curcumin is very potent. Most of your flavonoids. |

| I would like to explain the difference between complex proteins and individual amino acids with a simple anecdote.
Imagine that you have to make a wedding dress for your daughter. Consuming the complex proteins that we get from cows or other creatures is like going to the second hand store, and buying many other peoples used dresses, coming home and spending several hours ripping apart pieces of the dresses that you like and combining them into a new dress for your daughter. This alternative will take a lot of time and energy and will leave a great deal of garbage. |
