Re: AI pg 97 - question about glutamine - Andy

[Guest guest]

I don't remember the details of where I dug this up but some of it is mainstream

medical

books and papers.

I do question why you bother to pay your Mad Dog to teach him medicine - is he

practicing medicine without a clue? You are already paying him, why should you

also take

your time to do his homework for him?

I get my hair test back this week. I will check. Thanks for the

information.

No worries. I will see what I can find. You've already helped me

immeasurably by writing AI.

Valid point.

Thank you for bringing this up. My NP suggested glutamine to heal my

gut, but I felt awful on it - as though something nasty was building

up inside my head. It was obviously related to the supplementation.

I read the provided link about manganese, interesting.
