RE: L-arginine supplementation part 2: How the amino acid can help and prevent alzheimers and dementia.
This is interesting but I think you are misinformed. Atherosclerosis is an extremely complex issue so it is unlikely a single supplement holds the answer. One of the big problems with this sort of research is that mouse models do not always translate into humans.
Thanks for the upvote and comment. I have seen what l-arginine can do. It all started before, but look up the Nobel Prize in medicine from 1998. The L-arginine / ADMA ratio is the most important marker for heart health, ranging far above blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyserids amongst others.
More importantly it really does the trick with people struggling.
But it has in general not reached ordinary medical practice. All the doctors I speak to about it are unable to perform this on their patients, but are using it themselves and their closest.
Feel free to ask, I would say I know one or two things on the subject. :)
I might just continue while I'm at it... :)
I saw you writing about the relation between tooth loss and dementia. Whats the mechanisms? It's bad L-arginine/ ADMA relation. How can I make such a claim with confidence? Because those starting supplementation with l-arginine are not only stopping loosing teeth and stopping bleeding in their gums, but the teeth that are loose and expected to come out, are fastening again. Studies also show a strong relation between loosing teeth (pyrea, periodonditis) and heart health.
Then you have the NO oxygen release function, contributing a great deal to oxygenation of tissue, as well as it's function as a signaling molecule in the nervous system. The last one also potensially contributing to cognitive function.
Then you have the NO function in the immune system as well.
There is another pathway getting more attention recently, the nitrate pathway.
This in general not being known to the mainstream in the medical world is a strong testimony that something is terribly wrong with the system today.
Hope the information is of value :)
