Here's more food for thought. Check out the end portion, where MS posts. http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/archive/5/2001/12/3/89796 And here's an article clip about cycling protein http://www.t-mag.com/html/10maxim.html Interesting point about uric acid and kidney damage. I think this is...

Re: ? I'd like to know, too. Never heard of benzodiazepines releasing gh. If that's the case, we'd have had a lot of really, REALLY buff yuppies in the 80's and 90's :D Not to mention stacked epileptic patients.

Hey Rogerwilcox, What was your begining dosing regime to get up to 30g/day? Seems right now I'm taking approx 6-8g with h20, then running to the can. Do you take yours plain? with carbs? I'd kill to get a hold of a buffered version, but I may have to make my own somehow.

Taurine is one of the non-essential amino acids made in the human body; just like any other amino acid, it's a "building block" for protein. It's main use is that it's a key component of bile acid metabolism, and vital for the proper utilization of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium...

I just started pantothenic acid a few weeks ago, at 7.5g a day. I only had a mild case of acne, but at 29, it's enough to piss me off. Killer results so far, though, skin is smooth and clear, much like when I was on Accutane, minus the nasty side effects. I'm going to continue this dose until...

As far as the viral component goes, check this out: "If the arginine balance is far higher than the lysine, then fungal forms, allergies and viruses like the herpes simplex viruses, are not kept under control by the immune system. On the other hand, keeping lysine levels high helps the immune...

Just all depends on what you are taking it for; if your looking for serious wood, then just take it alone. Some say the viagra-like effect will be nulled if you consume arginine with protien; In theory, you should still recieve the benefits. I seem to notice a major difference when i...

I actually did find some info over the weekend regarding a study done on people taking approx 30g/day orally to stimulate HGH. Now, the hard part of that is the F#*@ing taste! OMG, camels ass nails it right on the head. That shit is nasty. What do you mix yours in? Plain water is brutal...

My favs are simple. I always use vanilla protein powder, and skim milk, and a banana. Also 10g creatine with 10g glutamine. But I either add 1) A few tablespoons of peanut butter, or 2) Some frozen berries, whatever is in season. I actually tried using homogenized milk one time and...

You're right, those quotes were from study of people already in RF, but they make a point of how high protien intake CAN cause renal damage. But (and thank you, Java) someone has pointed out that : "Now, there certainly is an amount of protein that will cause damage to the body just like...

Y'know, I'm mildly amused at your aggressiveness, but even more bewildered at your ignorance. In fact, I think its just a matter of NOT wanting to believe the facts. Anyways, after reading the last reply, I started rifleing through papers and textbooks, ready to unleash more quotes and links...

That is a damn fine question. His answer? "I'm sick of eating it". LOL. I've look at those massive cans of tuna at Costco. There's times I'm sick of eating it, too. But I sure as hell wouldn't drink it, one or two cans, let alone 300g worth!

Stupid, misleading info? wreaking havoc for newbies? Wow, not only is that an ignorant response, it's not backed by anything but hot air. Tell you what, *YOU* go look up info about CRF, dialysis, ARF and protien intake. Then, go get some anatomy and pathophysiology eductaion, and concentrate...

It's all relative to how much work you're doing in the gym, and how big you are to begin with. The simple, basic bottom line is that too much protien (I'm talking extreme amounts) will send you into renal failure. That being said, I knew a guy that would drink liquified tuna (no shit) at...
