Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 This might apply to some CFS, but others have too much nitric oxide (NO) already.

[Ref: Pall's work on NO.] Absolutely! The protocol (which down-regulates the NO/ONOO- cycle) has brought improvement to many with CFIDS, including me. Anyone interested in learning more can visit the Tenth Paradigm Society website and join our mailing list. Marty Pall is a member and gladly answers questions and contributes when not away lecturing on his theory. The URLs are in my sig below.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 You can use the natural Hoary Goat Weed - that is a natural form. My Doc suggested I try it to regulate my NO but I could not take it - made my head feel like it was coming off. I have better luck supporting the NO regulation by drinking spinach and jouice smotthies - adding in the minerals needed to metabolize propoerly - not perfect but helps The other thing my Doc uses for folks that can tolerate is Nitroglycerin tabs to help regulate the NO ________________________________ From: bbabq123 <bbabq123@...> Sent: Tuesday, December 9, 2008 3:39:01 PM Subject: Post Exertional Fatigue Information This is from the about.com fibromyalgia and cfs site Title: Misplaced Enzyme Blamed for Post Exercise Fatigue The information is from the scientists at the Medical Institute " Researchers say an enzyme called neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) isn't where it should be, which is in the membrane surrounding your muscles. The effect of this missing enzyme is that the blood vessels feeding active muscles don't relax like they should. In animal trials, this causes fatigue after mild levels of exertion. Also in those animal trials, a Viagra-like drug helped regulate nitric oxide activity and allowed for much more physical activity. Researchers say, however, that Viagra is too short lasting to be considered a treatment for people with lowered exercise tolerance. Longer acting drugs in the same class (PDE inhibitors) currently being used experimentaly and could be considered for clinical trials. " ************ ********* ** The clinical trials are being considered because this is also good for muscular distrophy and they are concerned about long term use accelerating the muscle damage that comes with this condition. This would not be a concern with CFS, however, so I should think that we could be using this right now. Anyone know how find out which drug this would be? bonnieb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
