Acetyl L-Carnitine Question?????

[Guest guest]

i have a question in regards to this and L-Tyrosine.

 

i read that these two vitamins would help aid in weight loss if you

are resistant... but i was searching ebay and found an auction for

Xenadrine..

in the description of this product i noticed the warning portion.

this product has the first two vitamins in it.. but the warning labe

states if you have a seizure disorder do not take the Xenadrine. now

i do NOT take weight loss druggs.. but in dr atkin's book he states

the first two would be good if your are resistant... does this mean

that if i was to just get the first two that i should not take

them??? why would they affect someone with seizure disorder?? any of

them??

gypsi,

I am not sure of the meaning of his term " resistant " . But I do

know that if your body is lacking in those supplements then they

will do something positive for you.

 

These supplements are not vitamins but are amino acids. I am not

extremely knowedgeable but did read a book about them. One of the

things amino acids do is help stimulate neurotransmitters in the

brain. Perhaps this could be too much stimulation for a person with

seizures. Triggering them to come on.

 

Also amino acids help elevate moods, memory and energy function.

That is why they can be used to overcome depression and anxiety.

They are the building blocks for our bodies and what I read is that

if you are not producing certain amino acids it can in turn develope

into a disease. I found this information in reading about Enzyme

Therapy and I would like to have an evaluation for the enzymes I may

be lacking.

 

But take notice when taking an amino acid supplement that you would

not take it for 6 months straight. The body stores amino acids and

you could find yourself feeling strange after a few months. Once they

are in your system you can take them off and on so you don't overload

on them. Perhaps the miligrams (dosage) has some bearing on it as

well. I find them a very good antidote and use them off and on.

 

There are amino acids that help reduce sugar cravings. I took a

product that listed it as a weight loss pill. After taking 1 tablet,

in 20 minutes my sugar craving went away. I guess that would help

you loose weight. But you know I never had to take as many as what

the bottle said to take. I took just 1 a day and after awhile I

noticed I wasn't craving sugar anymore, so I stopped taking the

tablet. I believe my body stored and utilized the amino acid in my

body. I also think, (my theory) is that sometimes when the body

gets very ill, it forgets how to normalize itself. Adding that

supplement made my body utilize it and now functions better.

 

Now if I can only find solutions to my other complaints as easy as

that was.

thanks liz

this was very informative... i think my body is going through a bunch

of changes right now... i was diagnosed as premenopausal and just had

a hysterectomy too... so i wonder.. trying to get my body healthy and

in turn hoping it will let go of some of this weight hehehe... the

resistance is a term for people who find it hard to loose weight.. "

insulan resistant " .. you can read more about this in dr atkins vita

nutrient book or his new diet revolution... thanks for the advice i

will look into it further.. if you have some good urls to point me to

please do not hesitate to send.. i dont mind if sent directly to me

personally.. thanks

Dear Gypsi,

i have just lost almost 2 stone in about 3 months using the Dr. Peter J.

D'Adamo diet from his book called " Eat right for your type "

My blood type is OP and i had to give up grains, potatoes, some cheeses and

a few other things.

I have tried just about every diet known to man kind over the last 30 yrs

and NONE ever worked.

 

Regards, Dorothy.
