So for those with EBV and/or mycoplasma I've seen it written that you shouldn't take l-arginine. Buhner doesn't agree but instead encourages it. I know that many of you take collagen (that contains arginine) and some of you have indicated testing positive for one or both these infections. I have collagen (new brand-newly purchased) and I want to use it for all it's enormous benefits.

So I don't know what I should do. Is it different if you take straight arginine vs. collagen?

This was a post that I recently found around this as well. But still not sure as to the answer.

Krimpet, it all depends on just how sensitive you are to it. I take Lysine, as you know, and have discovered that I can't tolerate some foods with high amounts of arginine. Others do well with those foods. And, some days are worse than others for me to try to eat some foods with moderate amounts of arginine in them.

I might better tolerate them if I took larger amounts of lysine, but would rather keep my lysine intake where it is instead.

In Buhner's books at least (maybe on that site that his protocols are listed on, but I'm not sure where), I know he states that if you have the active herpes viruses that you should not add arginine into the protocols.

I'm not sure on myco and arginine.

When my LLND prescribed L-Arginine - he also prescribed L-Lysine to be taken at same time.

I think he said the L-lysine will counteract what the arginine does.

I eat lots of I-argenine foods and also take I-lysine. I have EBV but doesn't seem to bother me. Maybe I would't know.
