Tink i'm sorry to read all this.....it must be sooo hard for you & of course i wish your husband a really good & thorough recovery. There are a couple of amino acids that help heal the body much more quickly, L Glutamine & L Ornithine Alpha Ketogluturate you can get them at body builders shops or online.
I hope all returns to normal for you as soon as possible x
 
 

WOW...I must not be thinking too clearly because it didn't even cross my mind. He keeps up on his supplements a lot better than I do and I know that the L Glutamine and L Ornithine are part of his regimen.


After a really bad setback a few years ago, I had to drop the additionals and use more foods to get them into my system. I know that I wasn't od'ing on them but all of a sudden, after years of feeling like they really helped out, instead they seemed to make the vertigo and nausea worse. The nutritionist I was seeing at the time felt that it was the extreme flare that set it off and not the other way around.


I guess that's my way as asking you, Tachyon, if that's happened to you before.


And thanks for the advice and good wishes.
Hope things going well for you!!

No it's never happened to me but in the 80's for 5 years i had terrible vertigo & since xmas last year i've been getting it again. I had it very severley & had to have injections which worked really well & no side affects. They gave me the same thing in pill form as back up but i can't take them cos they give me terrible guts ache & bowel problems, deep joy!! My osteopath & GP both say that vertigo can have lots of different causes, who cares...what's the cure????????? LOL!!!
after trying to help my son with his shop for 6 months last year ( far too much for me) i collapsed with central nervous system problems in January (vegus nerve) & am just recovering. I take all the aminos all the time & the only one i have to be careful with is Tyrosine - there's a very fine line between helping & exaserbating. I don't think aminos cause us to get ill.
Every day i eat approx ten fruit & veg but am still on a supplement for EVERYTHING or an injection otherwise i'm deficient. X x X
 
 

Dietary sources of glutamine include beef, chicken, fish, eggs, milk, dairy products, cabbage, beets, beans, spinach, and parsley. Small amounts of free L-glutamine are also found in vegetable juices and fermented foods, such as miso.

Thanks sweetie for taking the time to look that up for me. Unfortunately it's gonna put a damper on the whole ABC birthday celebration. We will probably not make it to the Aquarium tomorrow but look forward to seeing you next week.

yes amino acids are parts of proteins from food but for some people the small quantities in food aren't enough, especially in times of body stress & extra demand situations :)
 
 

OH...that reminds me...one of the reasons that the nutritionist wasn't overly worried about my reaction to the "L-"s (Glutamine, Orinthine and even Carnitine) was because of the amount of veggies like cabbage and spinach in our diet. We're probably one of the few homes in the States that constantly stocks those greens and parsley and beets too. All those veggies were part of my mum's cooking when I was a kid (and that neighborhood kids would laugh at), thanks to her Aussie upbringing and my dad's Russian one.


Thanks again!!
