The autism community is now using methyl B12 and methylfolate as well as carnitine and CoQ-10 to enable better mitochondrial functions. New research is hinting that vaccine injury occurs to the mitochondria and may be a trigger to autism in children.

Tyrosine and boy did that help me. However i began to get a pain in my liver near my sternum. It is definitely correlated because when I stopped the pain disappeared.
My questions are 3 fold. 1. Does anyone know why Tyrosine would do that? Hi, I'm new here and happen to come across your posting. One thought on Tyrosine....I've read that tyrosine helps move fat out of your liver....perhaps you were experiencing a bit of a detox from the amino acid. I know when my husband starting taking histidine he had a severe reaction to it because for the first time his lungs were functioning at a healthier level.....we decided to let him go through it because we figured his body was actually now trying to rid his body of the old toxins that he was unable to do before......it lasted for about 7-8 days......it was horrible but then one day it all cleared out and he felt much better! It does seem to make sense that if certain organs haven't been functioning as good as they should be, when they get a kick start things start moving. I know when I've done a kidney flush they ache for a few days before I start to feel good again. Anyways...good luck to you!!!! I know it can all be challenging!!! |

Hello,I,m having a difficult time now with my motivation towards everything I feel like one poster said "Blaaa".I was a heroin addict for ten years.I was on methadone for the last year and tapered down to zero.I know my dopamine receptors are really messed up.I'm trying to find some thing to help restore/balance my levels without impeding the natural restoration of them.
Is there some thing that I could take now to help then taper back?I'm drug free now and don't know how long I can stay that way without some relief from my mental state.Please help |

I don't know about taking tyrosine tablets but am checking into it myself. I am going to try it and watch for adverse reactions after reading your post. Have you heard of the book 'A Younger, Thinner You'? I have just begun to read it and it is how I learned about my dopamine deficiency. My sister is on the diet, she has had a weight issue her whole life and says that this is the miracle she's been waiting for. She is losing weight and feels great.
Best, Julia |

Ive was just watching Fox news yesterday and i saw that Restless Leg Syndrome and ED are now connected. I researched a little and found that both are linked to a dopamine deficiency. I have episodes of RLS at least 5-8 times a month i cant stand it. Also i get about 5 to 8 hrs of sleep a night. Being in the Navy sleep is not always as it should be. My wife tells me i need a sleep study done. i can get a fuyll 8 hrs of sleep and ill be watching tv or even talking and pass out at like 3 pm, i feel like iam always tired and working out is hard for me to do. And i do have a good reason to be motivated if i cant lose weight and keep it off i will be kicked out of the Navy. I do try and eat right but it seems that weight always creeps back on me. One thing that makes sense to me is that ever since i can remember ive been highly addicted to cottage cheese. i read that it helps make dopamine, could that be my body telling me that i have low dopamine lvls. I also have been smoking on and off since i was 12yrs old iam 29 now and iam addicted to chewing tobacco and smoking and i drink alot of diet pepsi. I need help iam going to go to medical on base very soon but the thought of going on Meds especially ones prescribed by military doctors.

Diet Pepsi, has aspartame in it...this contains aspartic acid, which is a neuro-excititory amino acid. If you cut back on that, you might see some improvement.
Magnesium is also useful in RLS.... low levels will cause muscle twitching and cramping. It is listed by many doctors as something to try before using drugs. I have a magnesium thread on the first page here. It explains how to select the right dose, and the best oral forms (magnesium oxide is useless).

Hi,
This is my first time on this forum but these posts have been so helpful. I am pretty, sure based on my own research that I have low dopamine levels. I am taking Cymbalta for Chronic Fatigue/Fibromyalgia symptoms and also Synthroid for low thyroid. And the Cymbalta really gets rid of most of the achiness that I experience without it. However, I am always tired, no matter how much sleep I get and I just lack energy for anything it seems. I exercise, do yoga, take supplements and nothing seems to help. I have had no luck with the dr's finding anything wrong though. I am thinking of trying Wellbutrin but I did not know you could get Tyrosine as a supplement. Can you get it at the health food store? It is just labeled Tyrosine? Thanks for all your help on this!!! Lee |
