The depth and range of information provided here is 'awesome, dude' as my surfer nephew would put it. Could you please comment a bit more on quinine and tonic water, and the possible benefits of same, especially where wear and tear/degenerative cartilage issues are involved. Also, to echo another poster here, tryptophan? inflammatory or anti-inflammatory? If the former, why is it so widely touted for aiding sleep? Thanks!DCYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16377391314634735820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-87898348466620519482011-06-05T19:23:52.212-06:002011-06-05T19:23:52.212-06:00Yoga,

When the tryptophan is used for inflammation, there is not enough left for Seratonin and you end up having a shortage of Seratonin. A shortage of Seratonin is known to result in depression which can then lead to insomnia. <br /><br />I do not know about the carcinogen properties.<br /><br />Hope this helps!rayray15https://www.blogger.com/profile/09025956676382794144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-23514523607080969452011-06-05T19:22:40.319-06:002011-06-05T19:22:40.319-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.rayray15https://www.blogger.com/profile/09025956676382794144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-31211352415025555272011-03-04T08:03:48.528-07:002011-03-04T08:03:48.528-07:00Also, he suggests that tryptophan is a carcinogen....Also, he suggests that tryptophan is a carcinogen.

Dr. Ray Peat is highly against tryptophan supplementation due to it's inflammatory properties, but since I stopped taking it, I have had insomnia and borderline depression. Can you help clarify.

The doctor also determined it wasn't PLE. I looked into this condition called electromagnetic disorder and my symptoms were very similar. I will try your diet.

These are severe conditions that need medical supervision.<br /><br />My general impression is that a condition that persists even when a healthy anti-inflammatory diet, such as I describe on this site, is followed and healthy gut flora has been developed, requires medical examination.<br /><br />A tiny percentage of people have genetic conditions that can't be overcome with simple dietary adjustments.<br /><br />Look at the diet that I recommend at the top of this page. Most people are vitamin D deficient even after supplementation. Most also have significant gut flora problems. The diet that I recommend will probably be beneficial to support any condition.<br /><br />Thanks for your questions.Dr. Art Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727664149735013259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-76302342318051534322010-11-30T16:02:25.709-07:002010-11-30T16:02:25.709-07:00Dr. Ayers.

I'm especially reactive in UV light in doors but also outdoors, even with computer screens and tvs. It feels like a prickly swelling burn is how I can best describe, like an inflammation. It seems to come and go. I recently bought some trypto for depression and not sure if it's that or the fact that I'm seriously reducing my caloric intake but my skin barely reacted today. I was almost in shock. I also have been taking for several months, vit c, alpha lip, gaba, vit e, selenium, q10, paba, lysine, vinegar, cinnmaon, - some of these will give relief some make inflammation worse when exposed to light so have to take at night. I would really really love to know how to cure this once and for all. do you have any insight for complete remission?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
