Re: Elaine's Electrolyte Drink/shingles--OT Clarification

[Guest guest]

Hi again ,

I forgot to add that I did a little research at the time and found

that you should eat more lysine rich foods and avoid arginine rich

foods. I also upped my vitamin C. Lots of legal juices high in vit

C.

About Lysine:

from the net: " ... To keep shingles at bay, doctors advise, you

should avoid arginine-rich foods such as chocolate, legumes, and

nuts, especially peanuts, and eat more foods that are rich in lysine,

such as fish, tofu, eggs, lean beef, and lean pork. "

and

" ..Sources

Lysine is an essential amino acid, as so cannot be manufactured in

the body. It is therefore vital that adequate amounts be included in

the diet. Food sources of lysine are numerous, but the richest

sources include cheese, eggs, fish, lima beans, milk, potatoes, red

meat, soy products, and yeast. Vegetables are generally a poor source

of lysine, with the exception of legumes (beans, peas, lentils). "

already, she needs to call the doc and get on anti-virals.
