To Duncan Re: Mycoplasma: beans& nuts/ veggies w least arginine?

October 5, 2008

The advice from the mycoplasma group to " totally avoid " arginine does

not reflect its extremely important role as a nutrient, including in

the health of your immune system. If you want a healthy immune

system, and that might well be the deciding factor in your mycoplasma

cure, you will need arginine.

Arginine is part of the growth and repair process too; for example,

infection that can be stopped by strengthening collagen is commonly

strengthened by using arginine and lysine, which are precursors for

proline. See " Role of ornithine as a proline precursor in healing

wounds " :

See also in Nutrition and Wound Healing that a therapeutic dose might

be fairly high:

Eliminating nutrients generally doesn't yield positive results and

there are other ways to reduce infection, including mycoplasma,

without spurring on other disorders by accepting biological

deficiencies.

I think a more thorough knowledge of the role argine and ornithine

play in health would be well advised in the whole mycoplasma group.

And , 80% of the cholesterol in your body is manufactured by the

liver. Even though mycolpasma may use it, your body also needs it and

you can not escape using it.
