 Constituents: Inorganic iodine salts bound to proteins (and partially to lipids) [1] as well as in form of iodo amino acids such as diiode-L-tyrosine ("iodogorgoic acid"), (according to Ph. Eur., not less than 0.03 % and not more than 0.3% total iodine, calculated with reference to the dried drug). The drug also contains mucilage (according to Ph. Eur., the swelling index is not less than 6) such as alginic acid and laminarine as well as fucoidans with antithrombotic and antiviral activities [2—4]. |

 Fourteen of these amino acids can be manufactured in the body, but eight so-called "essential" amino acids must be obtained from food. Protein also provides energy, in the amount of four calories per gram.
Fat is a critical component of cell membranes and hormones and is essential to the process by which some nutrients are absorbed into the system. Fat also cushions organs and helps regulate the body temperature by insulating the body. Fat, too, yields energy: nine calories per gram, more than twice the caloric content of carbs and protein. |

 In the "H" family, one altered base pair out of the more than 750 base pairs produced a different amino acid at codon 102 (253 amino acids make up PrPc). Family members had thymine swapped for cytosine, resulting in an altered code that produced the wrong amino acid. At the codon 102 position, healthy individuals have the amino acid proline, while the "H" and other GSS families had leucine. Leucine in the place of proline changes the properties of the prion protein, making it fold up differently and thereby behave like the pathological form, PrPSc. |

| What's more, research has shown that Rhodiola rosea elevates the level of RNA and DNA in muscle cells, leading to increased production of the amino acids and proteins that build and repair muscles through a process called anabolism. In animal studies, the herb has reduced levels of lactic acid and ammonia in tissues, helping to avert muscle fatigue as well as promote synthesis of ATP and CP.4-7
Then, too, Rhodiola rosea is antihypoxic. In other words, it improves oxygen utilization in the tissues, which optimizes recovery after exertion. |

 They knew that proteins are strings of amino acids arranged in a particular sequence, and that whether a protein provokes an allergic response depends on how that sequence folds—its structure and shape. Only some proteins are allergenic, but it is not yet possible to predict the structural features that induce allergic reactions. The panel members had to make educated guesses about the size, digestibility, and stability to heat of the Cry9C protein, and about the prevalence of this protein in the food supply. |

| Glutathione is three amino acids protecting brain cells—300 mg a day; melatonin, the pineal gland hormone best known for promoting sleep, is also cytoprotective, and is a free-radical scavenger—3 to 10 mg at night.
Phosphatidylserine from soybeans is excellent for reversing memory loss; it's generally recommended at 500 mg a day for up to twelve weeks. Research shows that when people over fifty receive supplemental phosphatidylserine, available at your health food store, all measurable brain functions improve, including memory. |
| Heat breaks up amino acids and creatinine to form undesirable chemicals called heterocyclic amines (HCAs). There are several types of HCAs, but they all have one thing in common—they predispose the body to cancer; in most cases, cancer of the colon, liver, and breast.
Grilled and fried foods are more detrimental than broiled foods in this regard. |
| You must, however, be sure that you are getting high-quality amino acids from high-quality sources. You need 9/io gram of protein per kilogram of body weight, which is approximately 60 grams per day for women and 80 grams per day for men. During pregnancy, lactation, recovery from various illnesses, surgery, and infection, you will require more. |
| The antioxidant army is a complex system of human defense in which vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and certain enzymes guard your health. Antioxidants are substances that react chemically with free radicals to disarm them. Antioxidants break the vicious cycle of the decomposition of proteins and fatty aids, which would otherwise create new free radicals, leading to premature aging and cell death. |

 Aloe's effects on the skin may also be due at least in part to high levels of amino acids found in fresh aloe gel, which contains 20 of the 22 amino acids required by the human body. Aloe also contains other substances helpful in healing the skin, including zinc, vitamin E, and vitamin C.23 Gamma-linolenic acid and prostaglandins in aloe also play a role in its ability to help heal wounds.23 In vitro laboratory studies have suggested that compounds in aloe gel may inhibit prostaglandin synthesis and inactivate bradykinin, substances involved in pain and inflammation.2 |

| The second way is to add to the child's diet a mixture containing all the essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals with enough fiber. Adding these substances to a good food will diminish their nutritional value. It is even worse when they are added to processed foods which have already lost a good deal of their nutritional value. Other additives such as processed fats and oils distort the diet in the same way as do the sugars. |

| Abundant starch and small amounts of flavonoids are present including their sulfates, as well as phenolic carboxylic acids, scopoletin [5] and amino acids.
Indications: Used as an antitussive, especially for dry irritable coughs and catarrhal inflammation of the mouth and throat, but not as an expectorant. Also used, though less often, for gastroenteritis, and occasionally, it is applied as a cataplasm (poultice used as a counterirritant) for skin inflammations or burns. A 2—3% macerate is also used as an enema in treatment of proctitis (inflammation of rectum and anus). |

| It should have been classified with the amino acids but long usage of the term vitamin has given it permanent status as a vitamin. I suspect that one day in the far distant future none of the tryptophan will be converted into vitamin B-3 and it then will truly be a vitamin.
The 1.5 percent conversion rate is a compromise based upon the conversion of tryptophan to N-methyl nicotinamide and its metabolites in human subjects. According to M.K. Horwitt, the amount converted is not inflexible but varies with patients and conditions. |
| The other 14 amino acids are interconvertible in the body and for this reason have not been labeled "essential." These include glutamic acid, aspartic acid, cysteine, methionine, glycine, histi-dine, alanine, methionine, proline, serine, and threonine. They are all essential, however, and if there is a metabolic problem resulting in a deficiency of any of the 22, the results would be devastating to the body. |

 And here's the really good news for the overweight person: if carbohydrates in the diet are sufficiently limited, the majority of the fuel the body needs for its day to day operations will come from fat, specifically from a breakdown product of fat called ketones.
The body loves ketones. The heart works fine on them, and so does the brain. Here's how they work. Fats are oxidized, or broken down, by a process called beta-oxidation, in which the long chain of carbons that constitutes a fatty acid is split into pairs of two carbon molecules each, called acetyl fragments. |

 Peptides are short chains of amino acids.) He began finding peptides in human blood and urine that no one had ever known about before. According to Burzynski, "nobody had bothered to identify them. Nobody cared what they were."2
Dr. Burzynski decided to see if the unidentified amino acid compounds he was finding might be related to kidney disease, and he prepared his doctoral thesis on this subject. The work of identifying these compounds was difficult and required very modern chromatographic equipment as well as hard-to-get chemicals.

| According to [7], the drug also contains sucrose, fructose, glucose, raffinose and other sugars as well as polysaccharides (particularly an arabinoglucan), free amino acids and glycoproteins. Traces of essential oil occur as well, including li-monene, a-pinene, cumene, zizaene and zizanene, among other terpenes. Small amounts of the cyanogenic glycoside gy-nocardin have also been detected. Har-man-alkaloids, though mentioned in many hand- and textbooks, are absent or occur only in traces in this species (below 0.01 ppm) [8-10]. |

 It could now be manufactured in the laboratory from off-the-shelf amino acids. This novel compound turned out to be a dipeptide (two amino acids), with glutamine arranged in a sixfold ring structure. Its chemical name was 3-phenylacetylamino-2, 6-piperidine-dione. Burzynski dubbed it A10.
In the body, A10 broke down into two other substances, which were excreted in the urine. These were named AS2-1 and AS2-5. These three substances were soon being synthesized and manufactured in his Houston laboratory. Contrary to later charges, the composition of Burzynski's materials was not kept a secret. |

| When Stanislaw Burzynski started work at the Baylor College of Medicine in Texas, he had already identified naturally occurring peptides (small chains of amino acids) that could be found in the blood of healthy persons, but not in the blood of people with cancer. Since he thought that the types of peptides he had discovered might have an inhibitory effect on cancer, he chose to name them "anti-neoplastons." The term "anti" means opposing, or against, and a common medical term for cancer is "neoplaston." The term neoplaston was derived from the Greek word "neoplasm," which means "new growth. |
