HERE IS WHAT WE ARE MISSING:
It reduces inflamation ....good for arthritis and rheumatic pains, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis and promotes faster healing after sports injuries
*helps sleep patterns
*improves insulin sensitivity and lowers blood sugar levels
*lowers blood triglyceridelevels
*helps heal the mucus lining of the digestive tract (and colitus)
*It is ant-aging...digenerative and inflamatory diseases can often be
corrected by use of gelatin
*gelatin canhelp stroke recovery if taken immediately
It HAS NERVE STABILIZING PROPERTIES and anti-inflamatory action
(Isn't this thought provoking!!!)
*gelatin taken 3 times a day( 18gr in a 10% solution )can quickly control
nosebleeds and bleeding from hemorhoids, ulcers,bladder, bowels
GLYCINE- (one of the main amino acids in gelatin)
helps promote wound healing, helps inhibit tumors growth, promotes natural sleep... AND IMPROVES MEMORY and LEARNING...WOW!!
Gelatin is unusually high in Glycine and Proline ( non-essential amino acids
that the human body can make itself) and some lysine.
BOTH TRYPTOPHAN & CYSTEINE inhibit thyroid function (which slows down our functioning) and MITOCHONDRIAL ENERGY PRODUCTION......
taking gelatin helps alleviate this problem caused by these things we need
so desperately also .
Anyway, Aunt Bean has taken a Tablespoon of gelatin in water 3 nights now before bed and has slept better. I bought a jar of kosher gelatin many, many years ago and used it twice....it has come out of the deep recesses of my cupboard and will be used faithfully now...I even included it in my batch of fava sprout balls yesterday (2 TBS disssolved into the warm starting liquid)
They froze well and taste great!
GELATIN >>>another step toward whole food solutions for us
Blessings....................Love, Aunt Bean

Aunt Bean, there are those who say meat is an inflammatory food which PWP should avoid. And on the other side of the ledger card, there are those who say meat is good for PWP due to the relatively high amt. of amino acids it contains. What are your thoughts? Have you noticed whether eating meat exacerbates any of your symptoms,or has no noticeable impact, or improves things. My question involves actually eating meat, not necessarily the gelatin. And, BTW, thanks for all your continuing experimentation and sharing your info!
