| FDA Import Alert #66-04] standard American diet, the formulation of prostaglandins is blocked by modern food processing (refining, heating, and processing vegetable and seed oils), and by a lack of the necessary vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Other factors that inhibit prostaglandin formulation are aging, smoking, drinking, taking medication, stress (high blood pressure), and obesity. Essential fatty acids cannot be made by the body, and must be obtained from either the foods we eat or from a dietary supplement. |
| If the FDA had its way, it is conceivable that amino acids would be taken off the market permanently.
Garry F. Gordon, M.D., co-founder of the American College of Advancement in Medicine, noted that the FDA's campaign against L-tryptophan dates back over a decade, when the FDA lost a courtroom battle to remove L-tryptophan from the shelves:
"As we left the courtroom, they [FDA] said, 'Well, you beat us this time, but we have lots of other avenues and we will get it stopped.' |
| The FDA proposals would have severely restricted amino acids, medicinal herbs, and other unapproved nutrients, making them available only by prescription. Companies would have been prohibited from making health claims on their product labels without scientific research: Claiming that fiber can help prevent cancer would have been illegal; a brand name such as "Health Valley" would have been in jeopardy. To further restrict nutritional information, the FDA warned it would prohibit "third-party" organizations from making health claims associated with nutritional products. |
| A few months later Senator Hatch and Congressman Bill Richardson sponsored the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, to establish a regulatory framework for vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and other dietary supplements; to protect supplements from being arbitrarily removed from the market as food additives; and to protect consumers by guaranteeing their right to obtain safe nutritional products and truthful, science-based information about their benefits.

In August of 1991, Dr. Wright filed a lawsuit against the FDA for seizure of a dispensary stock of L-tryptophan. Within three weeks, the FDA began investigating his clinic: FDA employees checked the dumpster periodically for evidence of vitamin products with foreign labels, and visited the clinic posing as patients.

Br J M//r,79(2):129-31,1998. nerve growth factor can modify this in the future or an antiglutamate substance, but for the present, our best hope is in the prevention of neurotoxicity. There is no doubt that there is a genetic and biochemical predisposition to cellular loss, and thus once afflicted such people and their caregivers should immediately eliminate excitotoxins from their diet. |
| The Mystery of Free amino acids in Human Milk
An argument proposed by the Glutamate Association (and their aliases) for the safety of glutamate is that mother's milk contains free glutamate. Once again, quantity is overlooked by those advocates of excitotoxicity. For example, while arsenic is present naturally in the soil, it doesn't mean 1000 times the amount in soil is safe. One analysis33 showed free glutamic acid at an average level of 1750 millionth moles/liter, which converts into a total quantity of almost one one-hundredth of a teaspoon of MSG in a quart. |
| This "free glutamate" is not attached to other amino acids. Thus, the normally slow breakdown process is bypassed because there are no "peptide" linkages to slow the process. The sudden increase in glutamic acid within the body is rapidly absorbed and can raise the normal blood level of glutamate to eight or ten times or even twenty times its usual amount.
Chapter Six MSG: Bad Taste
We have no problem with a consumer's right to know if the product he or she is buying contains MSG. But then, everything should be labeled, since there are many ingredients that pose afar greater risk than MSG. |

| Mega-doses of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and amino acids are administered to our patients continuously. In addition, we live in a society that places tremendous physical, emotional and spiritual demands on us, creating a destructive level of stress. Scientific research reports that this stress severely depresses the immune system. Stress reducing techniques are very important. Therefore, as part of the immune stimulation program, we offer patients psychological and spiritual counseling. |

 Processed food forms unnatural amino acids (lysinoalanine) that are toxic and known to disrupt the manufacture of DNA. þHeating can form antinutritional products that interfere with utilization, absorption, transport, and digestion of nutrients. þPlant fiber is degraded and removed from many food products. þIrradiation of food is a very controversial process. Studies show that split products (so-called radiolytic products) are toxic in animals. þMinerals are lost. Food processing techniques also strip important mineral contents. þFat is added. |

 Almonds
The almond contains a magnificent blend of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and natural oils. Rich in calcium, magnesium, vitamin E, and zinc, its high alkaline content keeps sex glands healthy by preventing acid corrosion and protecting the organs. (When the prostate, seminal vesicle, or ovaries undergo acidic degeneration, sexual performance can be adversely affected.)
Warm almond-sesame milk acts as a relaxing aphrodisiac. It's also an excellent source of calcium for pregnant or breast-feeding women. To prepare:
Soak 1 cup of almonds in 2 cups of water overnight. |

 These vitamins help the normal conversion of homocysteine into amino acids the body can use, so that it does not rise to unhealthy levels.
A moderately elevated homocysteine level is now considered by many researchers to be an independent risk factor for heart disease. Research indicates that when the intake of folacin, B6, and B12 is low, heart attack risk increases.
This does not mean that smoking, obesity, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, high-fat diet, and so on are no longer risk factors. |

| Vitamins Bl2 and B6
Vitamin Bl2 is essential for the enzymes involved in the manufacture of amino acids, fatty acids, and DNA. Vitamin Bl2 is also required for the function of folic acid. A Bl2 deficiency can lead to irreversible nervous system damage.
Vitamin Bl2 is found almost exclusively in foods of animal origin. It is primarily stored in the liver.
The RDA of vitamin Bl2 for adults is 6 micrograms.
Vitamin B6 is a cofactor in over 100 enzyme reactions, and it is vital for DNA repair and cardiac health.
The RDA of vitamin B6 for adults is 2 milligrams. |

| Essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids (the building blocks of protein) contribute to cell structure and physiological functioning. Phytonutrients, such as flavonoids and carotenes, protect the body from cancer and the damaging effects of free radicals. Co-nutrients, such as enzymes and fiber, also provide substantial health benefits. Nutrients nurture and nourish the body. Anti-nutrients do exactly the opposite. They deplete and weaken. The only thing they increase is your oxidative stress level. |

| When the chromosomes get instructions from the genes, the program begins to run. amino acids come together and form proteins, which in turn combine to form cells, which come together to form a plant, animal, or human being, according to the blueprint found in the chromosome's program. The same chromosomes and genes are going to determine the peculiarities of each of their products depending on the information they may carry. Thus, in human beings they will determine stature, eye color, IQ, temperament, vocational tendencies, and so on. |

 She proposes that a particular emotion is associated with a corresponding vibration of "peptides," which are similar to a string of small amino acids (the "building blocks" of protein). It is suggested that as the peptide approaches the surface of a cell, a mutual harmonic vibration (oscillation) occurs that enhances the peptide's ability to bind on the surface of the cell. The structural or energetic architecture of the surface of the cell changes, and a particular peptide in circulation is given a "parking spot" on the cell. |
