Re: Niacin in detoxification

[Guest guest]

Hi Marie, No I hadn't heard that. I know you can only get tryptophan by prescription but there is also a product called L-Tryptophan which I think is a precursor. I have read that it helps with sleep. Anita Re: Niacin in detoxification Anita: Hi. Thanks for sending this info. It all sounds good to me--but there's one question/concern I have about how sleeping disorder is treated--TRIPTOPHAN. Wasn't this found to be dangerous?I remember hearing stuff on the news years back. -Marieanita kessler <AnitaK001@...> wrote: Dr. ph MercolaAuthor of theTotal Health Program Enter your e-mail address below to subscribe to my free newsletter: Previous Issues Essential Info Health Blog My Vision My Qualifications #1 Natural Health Site New Patient Inquiries Dental Corner Contact Information Recommended Products High-Quality Chlorella Living Fuel Superfood Organic Cheese Virgin Coconut Oil More...

Dr. Mercola's Comment: The author of this article, Dr. Dean, is a key medical advisors to www.yeastconnection.com, a Web site I highly recommend to women based on the pioneering work of Dr. Crook. Dr. Crook, one of my first mentors and a friend who passed away last year, was the author of the classic book, The Yeast Connection, and many other bestsellers that helped millions of women. He was instrumental in helping me recognize that there was a wide network of physicians who understood the importance of nutrition. He indirectly helped connect me to this network and I will be ever grateful for his guidance in this area as that was really the beginning of my journey into high-level natural health. His great legacy is being carried on at www.yeastconnection.com, where you will find out all the latest insights on how Candida yeast causes problems in your body, and how to alleviate them. By Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D.Medical advisor, yeastconnection.com Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia are similar conditions, with long lists of symptoms for which there are few real remedies. While they are called different disorders, CFS and fibromyalgia are close cousins, sharing many of the same symptoms. They are often spoken of in the same breath. In fact, they may be connected. Certainly their similarities, beginning with a shared feeling of profound fatigue make it easy to find a connection between the two. Only recognized by the CDC since 1988, CFS, now called Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS), is characterized by the following factors: Extreme fatigue Muscle and joint aches and pains Muscle weakness Chronic headaches Swollen glands Periodic fevers and chills Sore throat Numbness and tingling of the extremities Inability to cope with any stress Cognitive dysfunction Insomnia Not until 1990 did the American College of Rheumatology establish diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia that included incapacitating fatigue, muscle and joint pain, neuralgia, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, cognitive confusion and digestive problems. It appears that CFIDS and fibromyalgia may also be connected to yeast overgrowth for the simple reason that a significant number of sufferers from these two syndromes find relief when they follow an anti-candida diet and other protocols to address Candida albicans yeast overgrowth, including prescription antifungal medications when necessary. The decided lack of interest by the scientific establishment in studying candidiasis alone or as it affects people with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia leaves a distinct gap in our ability to treat these conditions. However, Carol Jessup, M.D., who treated 1,000 CFIDS patients with anti-fungal medication, found that up to 75 percent of patients with CFS also had candidiasis. She is convinced if candida is treated, the majority of CFIDS patients will recover. Disputed studies A study by Dismukes in 1990 on only 42 patients given a double-blind trial of therapy with the prescription antifungal medication, Nystatin, claimed to b

You can buy tryptophan by buying 5-HTP. That is exactly what it is.
