Arginine

[Twenty Miles]

Hello,
I was reading a paper today about strengthening the gut (leaky gut). And one of the supplements they suggest is Arginine.

A search on here brings up very little info.

Any experience with it?

Here's what I found. I can't seem to remember all these supplement benefits, so I search Vitacost Library frequently!

BTW TwentyMiles- I love reading about your success with MS. It's stories like yours that keep me vigilant.

Here is a link to what wikipedia has about it

The "Dietary sources" part is a interesting read.

One thing it says is that you can get it from foods, so here is a nutritionDate.dot search for foods high in arginine.

Seeing how high and common it is in foods, I see no reason to take it as arginine supplement.

LOL, well I guess peanuts are not all bad nuts.

And it looks like I have anther reason to believe spices rule!

Thanks for the kind words! I was really inspired by Roger MacDougall's story. He was fully disabled and came back from the brink through diet.

I had undeniable disease, multiple lesions, total hearing loss in one ear, etc. and I am doing great. I am not perfect, but do function as well as people around me.

Has diet helped you?

Thanks for all of the information.

Your post on another thread started me looking into strengthening the gut barrier.
