Earlier, there were some questions about amino acids on alt.drugs.
|
|
I posted a scanty summary of some of aminos I was interested in.
|
|
More questions appeared after that, posted and in my mail box.
|
|
This file is quite a bit more complete but still doesn't list
|
|
many of the 22 or so AAs. (eg. alanine, histidine, idoleucine,
|
|
proline, serine, threonine, valine... these are all common, but
|
|
i haven't found much info on them).
|
|
Documentation and sources are missing, so please don't take this
|
|
file too seriously. I probably won't create another version of
|
|
this for a while.
|
|
|

(Note that this is a Folded file, for those with MSDOS machines and
|

the shareware editor.)

AMINO ACIDS AND THEIR EFFECTS
|
|
=============================
|
|
Version 1.1
|
|
Compiled by: Bj Krawchuk (krawchuk@cpsc.ucalgary.ca)
|
|
Several sources have been used and may be requested from above.
|
|
|
|
(*@/// Phenylalanine *)
|
|
(*@/// L-phenylalanine *)
|
|
L-phenylalanine
|
|
- converted into tyrosine which is
|
|
precursor to noradrenaline (NE) and dopamine
|
|
- like all amino acids best taken on empty stomach since it competes
|
|
with proteins to cross the blood brain barrier.
|
|
- requires vitamins C and B-6 for the conversion to NE.
|
|
- Dosage: 500 - 1000mg along with 1g C, 30-50mg B-6
|
|
- phenylalanine also stimulates the release of
|
|
cholecystokinin, which is the body's own appetite-suppressant,
|
|
- can increase sexual interest
|
|
- improves memory and mental alertness
|
|
- antidepressant
|
|
- do not use L-phenylalanine or L-tyrosine if you are
|
|
using MAO inhibitors for depression (it can cause a
|
|
major elevation in blood pressure).
|
|
(*@\\\*)
|
|
(*@/// DL-phenylalanine *)
|
|
DL-phenylalanine
|
|
- combination of synthetic (D) and natural (L) phenylalanine
|
|
- produces endorphins and stimulates their use
|
|
- thus, effective painkiller, often better than the
|
|
opiate derivatives such as morphine.
|
|
- nonaddictive, nontoxic
|
|
- reverse-tolerance effect (pain relief gets better)
|
|
- strong anti-depressant effect
|
|
- can be combined with other pain-killers
|
|
with few bad interactions
|
|
(*@\\\*)
|
|
(*@\\\*)
|
|
(*@/// Tyrosine *)
|
|
L-tyrosine
|
|
- precursor to norepinephrine and dopamine
|
|
- non-essential amino acid (since PA is converted into it first)
|
|
- has been studied as an effective aid to cocaine withdrawal
|
|
- (see L-phenylalanine)
|
|
(*@\\\*)
|
|
(*@/// Tryptophan *)
|
|
L-tryptophan
|
|
- precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin along with
|
|
B6, niacin, and magnesium.
|
|
- (actually immediate precursor to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HTP)
|
|
which is the precursor to serotonin (5HT))
|
|
- prolongs slow-wave sleep
|
|
- reduces pain sensitivity
|
|
- no effect or increases REMS
|
|
- has some hypnotic effects
|
|
- useful for some types of endogenous depression
|
|
(has been found as useful as imipramine and amitriptyline)
|
|
- aids in reducing anxiety and tension
|
|
- an appetite supressant
|
|
- dosages have been studied up to 15g
|
|
- Major Food Sources:
|
|
Cottage cheese, milk, meat, fish, turkey, bananas,
|
|
dried dates, peanuts, all protein-rich foods.
|
|
(*@\\\*)
|
|
(*@/// Lysine *)
|
|
|
|
L-lysine
|
|
- needed for growth and enzyme, hormone, antibody production
|
|
- aids concentration
|
|
- treatment for some sterility problems
|
|
- treatment and prevention for herpes infections
|
|
- aids fatty acid -> energy conversion
|
|
(*@\\\*)
|
|
(*@/// Arginine *)
|
|
L-arginine
|
|
- used to increase sperm counts
|
|
(semen contains up to 80% of arginine)
|
|
- aids immune response and healing of wounds
|
|
- helps stored fat metabolism
|
|
- helps to tone muscle tissue
|
|
- used for weight-loss in combination with L-ornithine
|
|
- one amino acid required for production of growth hormone
|
|
(*@\\\*)
|
|
(*@/// Ornithine *)
|
|
L-ornithine
|
|
- similar to arginine
|
|
- growth hormone (which acts as a fat metabolizer) is
|
|
stimulated to be released by ornithine and arginine.
|
|
- can be used as a slimming technique (while you sleep -
|
|
GH is released by the pituitary gland then)
|
|
(*@\\\*)

Tyrosine is available in a free form base from Vitamin Research Products
|
|
based in Mountain View, CA. call (415) 555-1212 for number. Suggestion
|
|
would be to start with 100mg of tyrosine at first, then to increase (weekly)
|
|
to 300mg. Overdose symptoms include irratibility. This will need to be taken
|
|
with several precursor vitamins like C B-5,6,12, for uptake into the
|
|
blood/brain barrier. This amino wil compete with protein uptake, so take it
|
|
on an empty stomach - see the book 'Life Extension" D. Pearson & S. Shaw -

A safe stimulant which is not caffiene does exist and it available as
|
|
a non-prescription drug from many health food stores. It's called
|
|
Dimethylaminoethanol, or DMAE. It works pretty well as a stimulant and
|
|
also increases levels of acetylcholine (it's a precursor). It also
|
|
makes rats perform significantly better on maze tests, because the
|
|
increased acetylcholine assists in some aspects of memory.
|
|
|
|
Another way to decrease need for sleep is to raise brain levels of
|
|
dopamine, which can be done by taking phenylalanine. It should be
|
|
taken on an empty stomach (500 mg to 1 gram is a reasonable dose)
|
|
with 1g vitamin C and 50 mg vitamin B-6 to assist in the conversion of
|
|
phenylalanine to dopamine. Another way to take the phenylalanine
|
|
is to place a small amount between the upper lip and gum about halfway back
|
|
in the mouth. There are blood vessels there which go directly to the brain.
|
|
If you're using this method, you should try a smaller dose (100 mg), as it is
|
|
more effective when taken in this manner.
|
|
|
|
Using these and other "safe" (i.e. adjusting the body's own chemicals
|
|
rather than introducing something new; not necessarily safe but a priori
|
|
a better bet than most traditional stimulants) I have been able to
|
|
cut my need for sleep by 4 hours per day without discomfort for weeks at a
|
|
time. I have no reason to believe that they would not be effective if
|
|
used longer, but circumstances of class work seldom required me to cut
|
|
sleep for longer periods than this.
|
|
|
|
Be advised, however, that these methods will not be as powerful as,
|
|
say, amphetamines or even high-dose caffiene, but they are not likely to
|
|
mess you up either. But if you are trying to stay up for two nights
|
|
to finish some huge project, you might be better off sticking with
|
|
caffiene and cold showers.

|
Yes, aspartame is the methyl ester of phenylalanine and aspartic acid,
|
|
two amino acids. According to Richard Wurtman of MIT, you can get
|
|
increases in brain levels of phenylalanine if low-protein foods such
|
|
as soft drinks are consumed on an empty stomach.
|
|
|
|
The brain requires vitamins B-6 and C to convert phenylalanine into
|
|
the natural stimulant noradrenaline and another important brain chemical,
|
|
dopamine (which is also, among other things, a stimulant and euphoric)
|
|
|
|
Thus even if you are taking no supplemental phenylalanine, you can
|
|
still get beneficial effects on mood, etc., by taking C and B-6
|
|
because your brain will become more efficient at converting the
|
|
phenylalanine that is already present in your diet.
|
|
|
|
Speaking of diets, phenylalanine also stimulates the release of
|
|
cholecystokinin, which is the body's own appetite-suppressant,
|
|
used to tell the brain when the stomach has had enough. So phenylalanine
|
|
acts indirectly as an appetite-suppressant.
|
|
|
|
Note that all of the effects of phenylalanine are greatly enhanced if
|
|
it is taken either on an empty stomach or with low-protein foods,
|
|
because various proteins compete with phenylalanine for transport
|
|
across the blood-brain barrier.
|
|
|
|
Dosage: 500mg to 1g phenylalanine, plus 1g C, 30 to 50mg B-6.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: Do NOT use phenylalanine:
|
|
*If you are using MAO inhibitors, unless they are the extremely
|
|
selective types such as deprenyl (selegiline);
|
|
*If you have a cardiac arrythmia;
|
|
*If you have hypertension;
|
|
*If you have phenylketonuria;
|
|
*If you have a psychosis;
|
|
*If you have a pigmented malignant melanoma-type cancer;
|
|
*If you have a violent temper.
|
|
|
|
If you are taking other stimulants such as phenylpropanolamine, ephedrine,
|
|
or even, potentially, caffiene or theophylline, you should monitor your
|
|
blood pressure carefully because there is a possiblity of blood pressure
|
|
rise and other problems characteristic of adrenaline-like drug oversoda.

Some friends of mine make a vitamin formula that they sell to drug treatment
|
|
clinics to combat the neurotransmitter deficit caused by stimulant abuse...
|
|
It really works,a lot of people have been helped off cocaine with it.
|
|
|
|
There are two separate preparations, an AM and PM formula,
|
|
The PM formula used to contain tryptophan,but now does not,obviously,
|
|
However,they have had some sucess with a formula that maximizes the conversion
|
|
of dietary tryptophan into serotonin.
|
|
|
|
Here is the formula...
|
|
|
|
AM......
|
|
|
|
L-tyrosine 250 mg.
|
|
D,L phenylalanine 125 mg.
|
|
Pantothenic acid 25 mg.
|
|
PABA 25 mg.
|
|
DMAE 25 mg.
|
|
Rubidium Cl 25 mg.
|
|
Tocopherol acetate 12.5 mg.
|
|
Beta carotene 2.5 mg.
|
|
Manganese (gluconate) 2.5 mg.
|
|
Folic acid 0.1 mg
|
|
Copper gluconate .125 mg
|
|
Selenium .25 mg.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PM.......
|
|
|
|
Niacinamide (ascorbate) 250 mg.
|
|
Taurine 50 mg.
|
|
Magnesium oxide 50 mg.
|
|
Pyridoxine 25 mg.
|
|
Niacin 12.5 mg.
|
|
Riboflavin 12.5 mg
|
|
Zinc 2.5 mg.
|
|
Beta carotene 2.5 mg.
|
|
Chromium (GTF) .025 mg.
|
|
Vitamin B12 .0125 mg.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is basically a neurotransmitter boosting formula and benefits those
|
|
who dont have a drug abuse problem too.

I was recently lucky enough to be given several ounces of pure DMAE
|
|
(dimethylaminoethanol) and boy,is it ever a lot better than the Twinlab
|
|
stuff,which I had previously been using...
|
|
|
|
I use it in combination with tyrosine in the morning and it has dramatically
|
|
improved my memory (and an interesting sideffect is the induction of lucid
|
|
dreams...)
|
|
|
|
A good source for DMAE are the AIDS buying clubs that have popped up in
|
|
major cities..(although thats not where I got this..)
|
|
|
|
For anyone interested in neurotransmitter precursor supplementation
|
|
(DMAE,a relative of choline,is a precursor of acetylcholine)
|
|
this one REALLY works..

Legal High Of The Month - for February 1992
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
This month's legal high is not a single substance, but a subject...
|
|
SMART DRUGS. If you regularly read MONDO 2000 or alt.cyberpunk, just
|
|
skip this posting because you already know it all... otherwise, read on!
|
|
|
|
Many of you might have heard of Smart Drugs, via NPR, or the Nightly News
|
|
(and also Nightline). Smart Drugs are a *new* breed of drugs termed
|
|
*nootropic*. Nootropic comes from the Greek word meaning "acting on
|
|
the mind". Nootropic drugs have in common.... (1) They all work on
|
|
the brain and/or blood/brain barrier and (2) They all have *fairly* low
|
|
toxicity levels.
|
|
|
|
Smart Drugs can do things like:
|
|
|
|
1) Improve mental functioning and even increase IQ (lots of arguments
|
|
on the IQ increasing - but research is proving it true)
|
|
2) Increase lifespan (30% or higher)
|
|
3) Decrease some of the *bad* degenerative effects of aging
|
|
4) Increase mental clarity
|
|
5) Done in combination with *illegal drugs*, Smart Drugs can undo
|
|
some of the less-desirable effects (eg., foggyness, dizzyness,
|
|
tiredness etc..).
|
|
|
|
On Toxicity:
|
|
|
|
Many of the nootropic drugs are SO nontoxic that the PDR lists them as
|
|
having no known overdose levels, and no known symptoms or contradictions.
|
|
THIS IS NOT TO SAY that ALL smart drugs are safe. Certainly not... and
|
|
you should be fairly knowledgable about them before you do them - especially
|
|
in combination! A couple of the nootropic drugs do have contradictions
|
|
so PLEASE be careful in experimentation. (Note, certain combinations of
|
|
nootropic drugs, done together, will have unpleasant, if not dangerous
|
|
effects - PLEASE BE CAREFUL - never experiment with them together, until
|
|
you have experimented with them each, individually, over a period of time.
|
|
Make SURE you read the PDR on each of them, because some of them do have
|
|
contradictions, especially if you have other conditions (eg., angina, etc..)).
|
|
|
|
What Do They Do?
|
|
|
|
Here is a partial (very partial) list of some smart drugs. ALL these
|
|
drugs are available, in the US, by prescription. ALL of these drugs
|
|
are available, outside of the US, without prescription AND MAY LEGALLY
|
|
BE BROUGHT INTO THE US by you (more on this at the end of the article).
|
|
|
|
The following table lists SOME of the drugs, their use as smart drugs,
|
|
the NORMAL dose, and their use in the US, as indicated by the FDA. Blank
|
|
items are because I don't have all my reference material at my side. Note
|
|
that most of this information came via Mondo 2000, and other books.

|
How To Get Them:
|
|
|
|
Most of these drugs are available in the US, by prescription. They are
|
|
usually approved by the FDA for uses NOT IN THE LIST ABOVE (for example,
|
|
Vasopressin is used in the US for bladder control, but it has NOT been
|
|
approved in the US for its memory functions, which require it to go through
|
|
the multi-year cycle (and millions of dollars) for approval for that use).
|
|
|
|
HOWEVER, due to the AIDS situation, the FDA has loosened the laws governing
|
|
what you can bring in from other countries. It is now LEGAL to purchase
|
|
a PERSONAL SUPPLY (not to exceed 3 months) of these (and other) drugs from
|
|
firms in Europe, as long as they are regarded as safe in other countries.
|
|
|
|
You can purchase these drugs from several companies, whose addresses are
|
|
listed below:
|
|
|
|
INHOME HEALTH SERVICES INTERLAB
|
|
P.O. Box 3112 BCM Box 5890
|
|
CH-2800 Delemont Switzerland London, WC1N 3XX England
|
|
|
|
Write them for their price lists.
|
|
|
|
I personally have ordered several times from Interlab (vasopressin) and
|
|
have been VERY impressed with their speed (spend the extra $10 for fast
|
|
shipment - it's worth it) and the quality of their service. The bottles
|
|
of Vasopressin came sealed, from Sandoz Laboratories, and worked as
|
|
advertised (it even did the bladder control trick). To see what I was
|
|
getting ripped off for, I called the local drug store to inquire as to
|
|
the U.S. price for a bottle of Vasopressin, and my price from Interlab was
|
|
$10 CHEAPER than what I could get it from at the local store (assuming I
|
|
had a prescription). PLEASE NOTE that these companies want you to sign a
|
|
statement saying that your doctor is working with you on this.
|
|
|
|
Also, look into a book by John Morgenthaler and Ward Dean, entitled
|
|
Smart Drugs & Nutrients (Walden Books, B. Dalton etc...). And OF COURSE,
|
|
read alt.cyberpunk as well as MONDO 2000 for the latest and greatest in
|
|
smart drug research and information.
