Erdmann on amino acids

[Guest guest]

Dear group:

I recently wrote a blog on http://360.yahoo.com/allen_dar titled " Is it possible

that key knowledge known by Erdmann over 20 years ago got lost? "

The copy of this blog is as follows:

Dear friends:

I often have wondered over the years if somehow it is possible that critical

healing knowledge known by Erdmann in his book " The Amino Revolution "

somehow got lost... or if Erdmann's knowledge of how to use free form

amino acids was simply missing some key components to it that were important to

effective amino acid use for many.

To explain the above, Erdmann wrote a very insightful book in 1987 called

" The Amino Revolution " . In this book, he offered a number of suggestions for

combining free form amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to deal with various

health issues. He also suggested the use of balanced broad based free form amino

acids to be used whenever individual free form amino acids were used

therapeutically as well.

Although Erdmann did not offer many dosage suggestions at all, at one

point in his book, he recommended up to 15 grams of balanced broad based amino

acids taken up to three times a day for men, and up to 10 grams three times a

day for women. (I do not know why he saw " a difference for the sexes " here.)

When I read Erdmann on amino acids, and compare his overall knowledge

with an author (that I will not name) that is considered an " amino acid expert "

today, I think that Erdmann wins " hands down " .

I state the above despite the fact that he missed a rather well known amino acid

inhibitor named taurine for a number of things (Erdmann often listed histidine

in its place).

I also state the above because I think that he missed a key to using broad based

free form amino acids in adequate therapeutic dosages... and that is to increase

one's acetylcholine level at the same time. (Acetylcholine seems to act as some

sort of a necessary buffer for free form amino acids in the brain. When I don't

bump up my acetylcholine level a little when taking the free form amino acid mix

that I take, I can get a little bit of headache sometimes, especially when

taking higher dosages of amino acids. For me, taking 15 gram or greater dosages

of free form amino acids just does not work as well unless I supplement to make

some acetylcholine in my brain as well.)

Regardless of Erdmann missing a few things, if anyone reads his book (I

cannot recommend it enough for anyone into alternative medicine), perhaps they

cannot help but wonder what happened to this knowledge over the past 21 years.

How come it never moved forward? And how come so few persons really know deep in

their heart (from self experience) about the tremendous therapeutic power of

broad based amino acids?... as my son Willy and I solidly do.

It may be worthy to note an odd coincidence here. The first book that I am aware

of that regarded the use of free form amino acids to treat depression was the

book " The Way Up From Down " by Priscilla Slagle, M.D. (This book is now a free

ebook on www.thewayup.com.) This book was published in 1987... and so was

Erdmann's. Free form amino acid use was solidly developing over twenty years

ago, but it seems to have not matured that far... and it still is not being used

nearly as much as it should.

I often wonder why balanced broad based amino acid use is not a standard part of

effectively dealing with any " mental illness " involving neurotransmitter

deficiency, such as depression or manic depression (and perhaps a whole host of

other " mental illnesses " as well).

I wonder the above especially in light of the fact that broad based amino acid

use is so obvious. Amino acids represent roughly 70% of the functional chemistry

of the body once the water is taken out. And they are the primary nutrient

precursors to roughly 99 out of the 100 or so known neurotransmitters. They are

also the primary nutrient raw material for roughly 95% of the hormones in the

body. As such, the fact that their therapeutic use in any illness involving

neurotransmitter or hormone deficiency should be ALWAYS be considered should be

patently obvious.

Is it possible that no one has yet figured out how how to use broad based free

form amino acids in a balanced enough fashion as to help many persons while

rarely, if ever, causing any major problem, as I seem to have done with " Willy's

baggie " formula.

Who knows?

I do know that my own self experience with taking over 100,000 capsules of free

form amino acids since 1997 has taught me healing knowledge that I still can not

find in any alternative medical book.

And I know is that it has not been uncommon for the past four computers that I

have been using at home to get almost 1,000 attempted intrusions a day, or well

over 5,000 attempted intrusions a week, to the point of them not working at all.

On this fifth computer that I have gone online at home with (the one that I am

writing this blog with), with some serious " burps " it still seems to work. My

intrusion count is quite a bit less than the past four computers that I have

used since June 2006, when I first posted my son Willy's original recovery story

to the Internet. On this computer I have only had 2,331 attempted intrusions (as

counted by a firewall) within the past two weeks, of which 45 were " high rated " .

However, even these numbers seem high vs. the norm, especially the " high rated "

one.

And I do know one other thing... and that is that Big Pharma has to be deathly

afraid of adequately balanced broad based free form amino acids being properly

applied to a depressive state, especially when coupled with " a little dietary

and gut knowledge " as well. Such knowledge about free form amino acids, etc., if

it ever became " common knowledge " , would virtually collapse the entire class of

antidepressant medications, and cost Big Pharma hundreds of billions of dollars

as well.
