Product Description

Product Description

Your Personal ''MIRACLE DRUGS'' The two dozen amino acids present in the human body are now being shown to be among the most potent healing substances ever discovered. These constituents of protein are necessary to every life process, but research and clinical work in the last two decades have revealed a vast range of therapeutic functions for amino acids, including: arginine's ability to improve sexual dysfunction phenylalanine's pain-relieving powers tyrosine's addiction-fighting potential and energizing action methionine's role in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and as an antidepressant tryptophan's promising use with hyperactivity cysteine's emergence as one of the body's best free-radical destroyers This update and revision of the landmark book on amino acids covers the exciting discoveries of the last decade and shows you how to use them in your personal health-management program.

Amino healing power 15 Jan 2004
By Pieter HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
The amino acids in the human body are proving to be potent healing substances. This book reveals the findings of research in the 1980s and 1990s on the beneficial role of the aminos in Alzheimer’s, cancer, depression, heart conditions, stress and many other disease states.

The different amino acids are discussed in chapters according to type: Aromatic, Sulphur, Urea Cycle, Glutamate, Threonine and Branched Chain. Their food sources, nutrient interactions and proven benefits are given in detail.

The therapeutic functions of specific aminos include pain relief (Phenylalanine), fighting addiction (Tyrosine), treatment of Parkinson’s (Methionine), heart protection (Homocysteine), herpes killer (Lysine). Many of them also play a part in immune stimulation or as anti-oxidants.

There are three appendices: 1. The Problems of Vegetarianism. 2. The Much Maligned Egg: The Best Amino Acid Food. 3. Continuing Breakthroughs in Amino Acids. This informative book with its good news concludes with an extensive bibliography, a glossary of terms and an index.

Everyone can benefit from the use of supplemental amino acids. This excellent book shows how to integrate them in one’s own health management programme. Similar helpful books include The Amino Revolution by Erdmann and Amino Acids In Therapy by Chaitow.

Comprehensive and extremely helpful 17 July 2000
By Jimmy Gutman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
One of the best references on my shelf. Scientifically detailed but easily understood. When I have a query about an amino acid, I usually reach for this book first. If it doesn't have the precise answer I want, the reference lists contained in the book will lead me to find what I need.

Buy this book. 28 Jun 2001
By "petersonreviews" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The Healing Nutrients Within is a must if you want to stay healthy. It's about proteins and amino acids. Amino acid deficiencies and inborn errors of amino acid metabolism are important causes of diseases, some of them deadly.

Problems with amino acids may cause mental or physical illnesses or both. So you should own this book if you want to have a sound mind in a sound body.

There is a separate chapter for each of the amino acids found in the human diet. And there are an amazing hundred-plus pages of scientific references.
