hey paula! hey thelma!!

please get the book - possibly at the library?
Prescription for Nutritional Healing -
by Phyllis A. Balch CNC/ James F. Balch, MD.

I first heard about this from morning news - Goodmorning America...

the nutrasweet product is a very bad creation -which is "using" the terminology amino acid to basically, (lie to the public) *grimace
Similiar to what they have done with GDNF.
Men in power -want power and money...and healing is not on their agenda....

However -

The Actual Amino acid is present in our bodies
phenylalanine is an essential Amino Acid because it can cross the blood brain barrier, it has a direct effect on brain chemistry.
Once in the body phenylalanine, it can be converted to the amino acid tyrosine -
which in turn is used to synthesize two key neurotransmitters that promote alertness
{dopamine & norepinephrine}
because of the relationship to the action of the central nervous system,
this amino acid can -elevate mood and decrease pain, aid in memory and learning and suppress appetite.
It can be used to treat arthritis, depression, menstral cramps,migraines,
obesity, and Parkinson's disease.

the only extreme caution are for those who are born without this amino acid!
and they have a disorder called "PKU"
do not take if you are pregnant, diabetes, highblood pressure, and preexciting pigmented melanoma -a type of skin cancer.

So -
-DL-Phenylalanine is very important precursor
Precursor -a substance, cell, or cellular component from which another substance, cell, or cellular component is formed.

Aspartic acid - is also another amino Acid...

but the people need to know - phenylalanine in itself is not a sugar, is not nutrasweet!

read and study everything, -and ask your doctor -before trying anything

I am sooooooooooooo happy to see you online!
Thank You to whomever created Braintalk2!!!!
luv & peace,
