Amino acid therapy update-continued thread

I understand your frustration Miracles! I will try to answer all your questions:
My supplement list is: 2 D5 Macuna, 2 Neuroreplete, 6 cysreplete, and 1tbs of Tyrosine.
My stool: sometimes disintigrates when I flush, but more and more it doesn't. I have days where it is ribbon-like, but others that are thicker. The riboonlike ones come on days that I don't feel too well. That seems to come every 2 weeks or so for a couple days. I believe it is ovulation time and menstration time. But I need to do a bit more tracking to confirm that.
I have done 3 urine tests. My humira has gone from every week to every 16 days now. I will try for 20 this time. Of course I think the Humira helps some, but only time will tell if I can get off of it or not and still feel well on only the amino acid supplements.
I am dealing with a great deal of personal stress right now, so we will see how that affects my stomach. hang in there miracles, but do what you think is best. We support you either way.

No Path, but I thought I would like to since Cipro helps me a lot!

Thanks Lemon- I'm doing 2 tablespoons of tyrosine, one d5 mucuna and 4 neuroplete and 6 cyreplete.

It' s rough as heck!!

just since friday night, 15 caps at 8 and 4pm. Mark there's been no progress since I started really. I was hoping and thought maybe there was but there's not. June 30th will be 2 months on supplements, I've had three urine tests.

Are you taking anything else along with it? Natural stuff etc? I found for a while while my systems adjusted this caused symptoms. Sometimes severe. Including probiotics. When I started I stopped every thing as well to give it a fair chance.

I guess I'm asking if you've done the same... or do you keep adding and trying other things that might contribute to lack of success even though you think they are helping. It took me a while to catch on to the probiotics issue and such. Again, this treatment seems to change the way my body responds to these.

Miracles maybe you should take some pred. for the first time.
I had to do it to be able to start the cysreplete. After some time I could tolerate the cystein much better and reduce pred.

Lemon, maybe you react to the vit.c in the neuroreplete. Even normal people can react to it with loose stools. Try to take the neuroreplete alway after Food.

PathogenKiller can you talk more about cryptolepsis? It looks like there are two different kinds Cryptolepis sanguinolenta & Cryptolepis Buchanani. Which one are you talking about and do you have experience with it?

At the end of the last thread I asked the question how do the neurotransmitters get out of balance.Here perhaps is part of the answer. New info.

They get out of balance due to a disruption in the production of bh4 which drives dopamine and seratonin ( which control gut motility).. This is usually due to a down regulation of bhmt or mthfr genetics. Sugar provides energy to try and drive the response, but it is a burst, pushing the reaction hyper, like opening the floodgates in spurts, not a steady, controlled sustained release that we need. This creates inflammation instead of healing. Supplementing things like tyrosine is like smuggling supplies past the gate. Eventually you have got to address the problem at the gate tho.

No, the gates are the places in the enzyme metabolism cycle where things are needed or interactions must occur. Yeasts and other pathogens just get control of the gates after they have been damaged. Even if you kill the yeasts you have to open the gates back up and repair them or something else will just exploit the damage.

I Path, so I went back to your CPN story, did you get on a bunch of antibiotics for your cpn? I did when I was dx with Lyme's for over two years. I haven't been retested for it.

Nope, I didn't do any rx abx for my Lyme, mycoplasma or strep. I have used nutribiotics. My genetics made ex abx a very bad idea unless we couldnt get the bacteria/ fungus under control in any other way.

I take serrapeptase ( 80000) for the mycoplasma and die off, Nattokinase (4000)for the fibrin that my body produces due to inflammation and mycotoxins being released by pathogens and digest gold (2) right before every meal. If I eat out I take a cheap gluten/ dairy digesting enzyme mix containing DPPIV just in case. All of these will thin your blood

Hi Lemon,

We said we're in this together, thanks for asking about me:)

I read on a website to take tyrosine on a empty stomach, so I've been doing that 1/2 before breakfast, whereas before I was eating, then taking them. No upset stomach, which is good.

No improvement in my bowels per-say, still lots of urgency and there seems to be more poo flying out of me. I get some gurgels in my gut and with in 10 seconds I'm blowing rapid speed loose loose stool. Blood has gone down, I think. I'm not on asacol, I've been off that a week. I was getting bad knees aches from it, like arthritis. I know I'm not being definante in my answer, because I really can't tell yet. I'm not any worse right now. The best probably has been mood and energy. I'm just one that may take longer to get firmed formed stool. Trust me when that happens everyone here will be the first to know :) I'm not giving up....

My powder tyrosine will be here today. I forgot to ask them to overnight me a urine kit, so I faxed them today. They are closed. Doc said 3-5 days on new dosage and you'll body will recongize the new amino acids and from there, if no improvement, another test and another tweak and so on until it "clicks"

How are you doing?
