Hi All.

I was just on yahoo and there was this lead story about the doctor who won the Nobel prize in 1999 and it seems that the powers that be buried the info. Hugh Downs is talking about a book that he wants you to buy. It's about Nitric Oxide.

I then googled the doctor's name and found out he discovered the facts about Nitric Oxide.

I watched his videos and he said that our bodies make this and that we need to boost it by taking l-arginine and l-citrulline along with anti-oxidants and exercise.

Well, I walk as much as I can, and I grow my own anti-oxidants so that much is covered.

I have never taken l-arginine and l-citrulline. I take a lot of supplements along with Alpha Lipoic Acid and am doing well.

I read an older thread by Mrs. D about how she took these things and it gave her heartburn.

Then further on the thread it mentions that there is a powder form which is less likely to give heartburn. I don't get heartburn because I don't eat anything that would give me heartburn.

I'm just wondering if this two things, l-arginine and l-citrulline would be considered an anti-aging regimen to someone who does NOT have heart disease.

Can taking l-arginine and l-citrulline lead to a longer life expectancy if you combine it with good lifestyle choices and other things?

Just curious.

I don't want to rush out and buy these things. I don't even know how much they cost or if I need to be on them.

I would just like some info from any of you who take them.

My PN is 99% controlled by my taking Methyl B-12 for years. I only get the burning if the weather drops 20 degrees and that's not very often.

So far I'm doing good with the neuropathy. No complaints, so my interest in these things are not for neuropathy but for anti-aging.

Am I on the right tract?

Thanks much

Melody
P.S. Hey I'm 62 and want to make it to 100
