 Individual peptides and amino acids really matter. Those become almost pharmaceuticals in the body, only natural medicine instead.
Dr. Liers: Dr. Frank wrote the "No-Aging Diet" for everyone out there, and he had people eating sardines four times a week, and fish every day, and taking RNA and yeast. He also wrote a technical book, which was so far advanced for the 1970s, titled "Nucleic Acid Nutrition and Therapy. |

 Carnitine
Carnitine is a derivative of the amino acids lysine and methionine. It is involved in energy production and specifically assists with the oxidation of glucose. Several published scientific studies have shown that carnitine supplementation supports insulin sensitivity and optimizes blood glucose levels. Carnitine has also been shown to decrease fat levels in muscle.
A study conducted by experts at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, showed the benefits of taking carnitine for metabolic health. |

 But in addition to that, it's very rich in protein; it's got 21 percent protein, which is very high for an oil crop, and this protein is very high in important amino acids. It's perfect for adults; it's even rich in lysine, one of the amino acids that is not in corn, and not in many things, and it's a very good source of fiber. It has 39 percent of its weight as fiber. And five to six percent is soluble fiber. The Indians were very smart, because they used corn and chia. Corn was low in lysine, and chia was high in lysine. |

 In the Tri-Cal supplement, calcium is bound to the amino acids taurine and glycine, both of which are calming amino acids taking up by the brain. The calcium goes along for the ride and helps soothe frayed nerves. To believe how well this works, you almost have to see the results yourself!
Wellness Resources also has a superior pycnogenol product, and outstanding hyaluronic acid supplement and a liquid Phosphatidylserine (PS) supplement that's far more potent than the usual powdered PS ingredients you see in other supplements. |

 What you've done is artificially release the amino acids in an unnatural way, and when they enter your GI tract, they are absorbed as free amino acids, then your blood level of that glutamic acid goes up significantly. As I said, it can go up as high as 20-fold, in some cases 40-fold. Your blood brain barrier is not constructed to handle such high levels of glutamate, because it doesn't naturally occur that way. It can handle the lower levels, but it can't handle these very high levels. So this argument, "Oh, it's natural," is just a lot of nonsense. |

 It also contains a full broad spectrum of amino acids, including all eight essential amino acids. It's very tasty, delicious and juicy -- it tastes quite a bit like a cherry, cranberry and raisin all mixed together.
To complement this product, we also work directly with our partner company in Peru that produces our maca and our cacao products. We offer several forms of cacao, starting with the very popular nib -- and that's where we take the cacao bean, remove the shell and grind it into a nib for ease of consumption. |

 When a person suffers nutritional deficiencies, especially certain minerals and amino acids, they begin to lose the flexibility of the protein fibers in cells throughout their body. This can affect their skin and their large intestine, as well as other organs.
If you see somebody who appears to be aging rapidly, such as a person who smokes cigarettes, you are witnessing the stiffening or hardening of the fibrous connective tissue in their skin. As the same time, they are losing physiological efficiency in their kidneys and liver, reducing their ability to remove toxins from the blood. |

 This process is as essential to us as it is to plants because we need to eat ten preformed amino acids we can't assemble out-selves. Maintaining high nitrogen levels in agricultutal soil requires rotating crops that consume nitrogen with crops that replenish nitrogenor continually adding nitrogen fertilizets.
Phosphorus is not neatly as abundant as nitrogen, but it too is essential for plant growth. Unlike potassium, which accounts for an average of 2. |
| Once incorporated into soil organic matter, nitrogen can circulate from decaying things back into plants as soil microflora secrete enzymes that break down large organic polymers into soluble forms, such as amino acids, that plants can take up and reuse.
How fast soil is produced depends on environmental conditions. In 1941 UC Berkeley professor Hans Jenny proposed that the character of a soil reflected topography, climate, and biology superimposed on the local geology that provides raw materials from which soil comes. |

| During the second day of a fast, muscle tissue may be broken down into amino acids, which are then converted by the liver into glucose to feed the brain.
On the third day, the fasting body goes into ketosis. During this state, the liver converts stored fat into chemicals called ketones, which can be used by the brain and muscles, including the heart, to sustain energy levels.
Around the third day of the fast, most people lose their hunger pains and notice increased energy and a heightened sense of awareness and clarity of mind. People may lose up to two pounds per day during this stage. |

 Often amino acids are improperly absorbed as well. It is important to restore good bacteria (flora) to the gut. Take a good probiotic that includes Sachromyces boullardii and bifidus species daily. Herbs such as mallow root help improve the intestinal lining. A high dose B vitamin and a multivitamin with minerals should be taken as well. Flax oil and fish oil can help relieve the chronic inflammation associated with celiac disease. Vitamin D is also useful to prevent associated osteoporosis.
Medication: To treat severe celiac disease, prednisone is prescribed along with a gluten-free diet. |

Counter-irritants: One interesting approach to decreasing inflammation and pain in a joint is to use a herbal "counter-irritant," which is thought to increase circulation and move toxins from the joint space. |
| A protein supplement (20 g) such as whey can be taken daily, otherwise three or more 4 oz servings of protein-rich food a day will provide sufficient amounts of amino acids. High amounts of sodium can also cause edema. Avoiding processed foods, such as canned soups, pre-cooked meals, and take-outs, and stopping adding salt or other condiments to your food will immediately cut down on the amount of salt in your diet. Drink plenty of plain water to help the kidneys remove extra fluid.

| Beef insulin in a pure form is a chemical analog with three amino acids difference from Human Insulin.
I believe that increased diabetic deaths, increased emergency room visits, increased automobile accidents due to hypoglycemia, and increased "dead in bed" syndrome are not coincidental. A large percentage of the diabetic population could maintain lower glycohemoglobin levels (Ales), have less incidence of hypoglycemia, and have lower maintenance costs using natural insulin analog protocols. It is interesting to note that rDNA beef or pork analogs could be made using the E. |

3. The Soviet Union banned microwaves in 1976 and issued a worldwide health warning based on research that began in the
1 950s. The research suggests that people who consume microwave-cooked food are more likely to develop stomach and intestinal cancers, peripheral cellular tissue degeneration, and a gradual breakdown of the digestive and excretory system.

 It contains several key B vitamins, plus amino acids and herbs. Follow the label directions for use.
SAMe. The body makes S-adenosylmethionine from B vitamins and the amino acid methionine and then puts SAMe to use in making serotonin and other neurotransmitters. As supplements go, SAMe is fairly expensive, but it may boost the effectiveness of B vitamins. By itself, SAMe often works as well as some antidepressant medications, such as imipramine, but it also enhances the benefits of medications in treating major depression (the most severe type). Take 800 to 1,600 mg daily. |
| The protein provides amino acids that are needed to make neurotransmitters, and both the protein and the vegetable fiber help to stabilize blood sugar levels. Stable blood sugar levels will reduce the risk of mood swings.
Avoid soft drinks sweetened with sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and other types of sugar (including "natural" sugars). In addition, stay away from deep-fried foods such as fried chicken and French fries. You will likely benefit from reducing your intake of caffeine (coffee and colas), energy drinks, and alcohol. |
| The reason is that other amino acids in food can interfere with the absorption of GABA. Take 500 to 600 mg one to three times daily, and consider combining it with 200 mg of theanine.
Glycine and Dimethylglycine
Principal use: For obsessive-compulsive behavior and blood sugar regulation.
What else you should know: Dimethylglycine (DMG) is used in the SAM cycle (see SAMe, earlier) and is the precursor to glycine. Glycine is the simplest amino acid in chemical structure and functions as an inhibitory, or calming, neurotransmitter. |
| Of course, the ideal situation would be to have your levels of vitamins and amino acids measured by a physician, because this approach allows for greater individualization.

None of this obviates the need for psychological counseling. Talk therapies can help people to recognize and change dysfunctional behavior patterns that hurt their relationships at work and at home. Psychological therapies can also reduce feelings of stress, which burn up our calming neurotransmitters. |
