FEED your CNS - Supporting documents

[John A. Casler]

Recently in the Nutritional "STORE" I wrote a post about Feeding your CNS for health and performance purposes.

Over the years, I have been studying research, as well as "using" various compounds to a VERY GOOD OUTCOME.

Below I will post some of the supporting info I have found recently.

If you wish to try some of these compounds they can be found and ordered through our affiliate LIFE EXTENSION by clicking on the link below.




The above link is only to a single product that provides the CNS with compounds that assist in "creating and replenishing" neurotransmitters.

Below I will list other articles, research and studies.

Below is another supporting article on the potential value of phenylalanine, which is one of the KEY ingredients in the BLAST powder link posted above.

While it adresses the suppresion of some types of pain for a more medical use, I have found it allows me to "EXERCISE" through more of the "pain" to produce a better result from the exercise.

I know this is a difficult concept to grasp, but due to the endorphin link, it almost makes the pain "feel good". Not in a way that would or could produce injury, but in a way that allows you to endure or even enjoy, that burn and beyond.


Q I have had lower back pain since 1973. Do you have any suggestions?



A For some people, boosting brain levels of endorphins can provide natural pain suppression. This may not be effective for acute (short-term severe) pain, but is a safe method of alleviating chronic (long-lasting) pain. The amino acid phenylalanine acts as an "endorphin shield," battling pain indirectly by helping the body's built-in pain-control system grow more powerful. It is not a drug, and it does not work directly against pain. Like other amino acids, phenylalanine comes in "d" and "l" (right and left) forms.

The difference between the forms is like the difference between your hands. A mixture of the two forms, known as dl-phenylalanine (DLPA), has been used to fight pain since 1978. Researchers at the Chicago Medical School discovered that this amino acid blocked pain in 70% of the mice used. They also discovered that the pain-blocking action actually grew stronger with time. Standard medicines tend to become less effective over time, as the body grows accustomed to them, but phenylalanine was actually more effective on the ninth day than it was on the first. Also, consider including supplements to reduce inflammation such as Super GLA/DHA and vitamin K. Vitamins and antioxidants are helpful during times of chronic pain, which puts stress on the body and over time reduces its ability to function, heal itself and fend off disease. Try to include the following supplements-B-complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, ginger, green tea, curcumin and ginkgo biloba. Also, use the minerals selenium and magnesium.
