"Hi all\r\n\r\nI have been doing amino acid IVs for a couple of months now. Weekly or bi-weekly.\r\n\r\nI started with the Aminosyn formulation, but this gave me unpleasant brain sensations that I assumed were excitotoxin-related so I switched to FreAmine 8.5 % which is what I am told Dr Dan Peterson in Incline Village, Nevada, uses.\r\n\r\nThis formulation seemed to have fewer or lower levels of the excitotoxic aminos, although it still had some arginine (which is pro-viral) and some cysteine.\r\n\r\nI eventually ran a UAA after about 6 weeks and my results seemed marginally worse (if that's possible.) \r\n\r\nSome undesirables were high (ammonia, glycine), most were low, and\r\nI also had very elevated cystathionine, which I ascribed to a lack of B6, since that is the co-factor needed to convert it to AKG or cysteine.\r\n\r\nI added a shot of b6 to the IV hoping that would help, but this last time I got massive brain fog.\r\n\r\nI'm wondering if the cysteine is auto-oxidising and generating more sulfite than I can process. (Yeah, I can barely understand this.. I got it from the cfs_yasko list..courtesy of Rich Van K.)\r\n\r\nSo, er, um, any ideas?\r\n\r\nIs there any way to make these IVs work?\r\n\r\nAny Peterson patients want to chime in here?\r\n\r\nI have spoken to other (non_peterson patients) who did AA IVs and seemed to run into problems too. \r\n\r\nAnd I read that some of the autistic kids had to quit them because of the excitotoxicity problem.. but I thought I got around that by changing formulations.\r\n\r\nMaybe I just need to get a custom made formulation...but I'm not sure what that should contain to get around the cysteine auto oxidising problem (if such it is) and the excitotoxicity issue.\r\n\r\nThanks"
