Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 glutamine increases villi length. bascially my improvements recently with whey also seem to tally with more glutamine. as far as i can see whey has a reasoanable amount of glutamine. and probably more advantgeously its co factors. striaght amino acid suppelmentation is cofactorless and trouble imo. low temp roast juices are also high in glutmaine and co factors9esp b vits).........anyway its weird to have accidently ended up on a bodybuilding diet but confirms me in that putting on shoulder muscle for both male and female is a very positve sign. " 1. The amino acid L-glutamine (1500 mg/day, a maximum for your child would be 3000 mg/day) that also reduces blood and brain ammonia levels. Experiments with various animal models have demonstrated that the provision of glutamine can result in better nitrogen homeostasis, with conservation of skeletal muscle. This leads to better ability to learn, to retain, and to recall. There is also considerable evidence that glutamine can enhance the barrier function of the gut. Furthermore, it is now known that the gut produces large amounts of a vital antioxidant, glutathione, when adequate glutamine is present. Glutamine is the principal metabolic fuel for small intestine enterocytes, lymphocytes, macrophages, and fibroblasts (major players in the immune function). Supplemental use of glutamine increases intestinal villus height, stimulates the gut's mucosal, cellular proliferation, and maintains mucosal integrity. It also prevents intestinal hyperpermeability and bacterial translocation, which may be involved in sepsis and the development of multiple organ failure- AL, Altern Med Rev, 1999 Aug, 4:4, 239-48. L-glutamine is essential for the synthesis of the mucoproteins present in the mucous secretions of the GI tract. These secretions are responsible for protecting the lining of the GI tract. In addition to protective qualities, L-glutamine administration has been known to actually improve mucosal structure and healing ' willis Williss/message/5343 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Although you have had really good success with whey, there are a number of 'health groups' that find whey to be detrimental as far as good health. I wonder if there are qualifiers out on whey....like for whom it might help and for whom it might not be a good idea. I know Elaine of SCD is very much against it. Have you run into reasons why?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 one of the fundamental divides when you cross it is understanding that there are inherent errors in the group(collective) problem solving process which makes groups being of such and such an opinion a surety for it being wrong. it still staggers to me to see what is happening on pecan bread, moms and kids limping on in half solutions because the group requires a certain approach and the high gain boundary is not allowed to be explored. its a little lesson of life that you can't hide from trauma and it has a way of finding you and if you don't flinch at meeting it in daily life you take less damage overall and survive better. enough preaching ) anyway i do think scd allows a better tolerance of the lactose in whey but eileen prunster who posts on here occasionally is scd emphasis somewhat rather than scd and has been getting exceptional results with herself and her family who are just starting seem to be responding well. i think kids who were bottle rather than breast feed(like me) get developmentally attuned to the high growth facotrs in bovine dairy and actualy need the whey to be normal. the whey you use is very important. my whole aprroach is like building a house with very solid foundations............... every piece is handfitted and tested for weight yield and you just add and add and everything added has synergies and one day the jigsaw is substanially complete. elaine's daughter had some issues in later years which indicate insufficencies in her approach, lactose which she dislikes is a problem if you are not in a synergenic supplement regieme and to be fair its only things like optizinc which make something like whey possible. so really its the supplements of recent years that have changed the game.........enzymes, optizinc, selenomethione/methylselenocysteine ...molybdenum, vitamin d(though thats not new but sscd studiously ignores it)......non inorganic magnesium........looking at what supplements were i can understand her being put off them but it has all changed and age unfortunately prevents her keeping up so pure scd will be going the way of banting.......... none of the supplement suppliers are up to speed on the new forms either. its really important to get that the anabolic side of things which bovine growth factors seem to be abundant in is the missing piece. unfortunatley i cna see dan getting into the medical version which will be to shoot kids full of steriods but hopefully that is a year or two away. what people don't undertsand about a medical approach is it is referenced on the body working 90% well and ten% needs fixing which is the nature of illness. autism is a failure of construction, the whole house has to be built and medical standards of deficit are far to high for the medical approach to work with autism. a good example is lead which with autism even lowish levels compared to a normal population are inhibiting. > Although you have had really good success with whey, there are a > number of 'health groups' that find whey to be detrimental as far as > good health.
