~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reboot Your Immunity With Chocolate & Arginine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Many times people with dormant viruses will see these viruses re-express as skin outbreaks when they eat Chocolate or certain nuts and... Raw Chocolate seems to be the most intense. Common advice is "If you have herpes, shingles or other viral challenges avoid chocolate." Virus outbreak intensity seems to track the quantity and quality of Arginine, an amino acid. Here's where "Listening to Arginine" may be a key contributer to clearing chronic viral load... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Administrivia ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Articles : join@RadicalHealth.com Unsubscribe : leave@RadicalHealth.com Austin Events: austin@RadicalHealth.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arginine Background ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid. Essential amino acids come from foods. Non-essential amino acids are synthesized in our bodies. Semi-essential amino acids can be created by our bodies and most people produce insufficient amounts to enjoy optimal health. Arginine is produced in the urea cycle which is highly dependent on pH swings. If pH swings are to large or swing continually acid, Arginine production and metabolism can reduce or shutdown. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's Arginine Good For? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arginine is a primary contributor to: - Cell Division - Tissue Regeneration - Ammonia Elimination - Protein & Hormone Metabolism - Immune System Strength and Response Speed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If Arginine's So Good, Why The Harsh Symptoms? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Since Arginine is such a key component in so many metabolic (chemical) processes, if it's in short supply bodies go into emergency conservation mode. Arginine is then allocated on an emergency priority basis. As Arginine requirements increase and Arginine availability decreases or remains constant, deep tissue cleansing of viral material takes a lower priority to say ammonia elimination which if delayed may cause organ damage or instant death. If a person ingests a high vibe product like some form of Chocolate, especially Pure Raw Chocolate Powder, which is even higher in Arginine than Chocolate Nibs, intense viral outbreaks can occur. This appears to happen as atrophied immune functions reboot and come back online. When this occurs both the intelligence to recognize viral material and the resources to liberate/expel this viral material go to work with great intensity. And if the best way to flush viral material is through the skin, then outbreaks occur. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Clearing Outbreaks The Easy Way ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ People with a high viral load quickly learn to avoid Chocolate and many types of nuts to avoid painful outbreaks. It's challenging to find comfortable ways to support/accelerate these outbreaks to completion. Where completion means viral load is completely expelled, so no further outbreaks occur. The classic approach is with drugs which have low success rates. So what to do? When outbreaks occur, an artificial opening occurs in skin which can be thought of as a high bandwidth exchange mechanism. Outbreaks form a conduit which allows easy access directly to viral material and an open pathway for rapid viral material elimination. If I were having outbreaks after eating Chocolate, I'd try a set of experiments using high mobility nutrients like Super Indium and Essential Oils. I'd start with Super Indium as it also contains MSM. The idea with Indium + MSM is to have Indium increase nutrient mobility and MSM accelerate healthy tissue regeneration, which in turn displaces viral material through the outbreak conduit. Other important support includes Vitamin B and C (berry based, no synthetics or excipients). Indium is a great starting point as applying Essential Oils to open tissue may be very intense. If applying Indium worked less than optimally, I'd start with cost effective oils and move up. The sequence I might try is: Cost Effective: Peppermint, Oregano, Lavender, Thieves More Prized : Melissa, Rose I imagine some combination of Indium and one or more of these oils will do the trick for many people. I'd also go very slow, knowing the way to reduce intensity with Essential Oils is to dilute them with other oils like EFA Blend, Olive Oil or Coconut Oil. Adding water to skin burning from Essential Oils is like throwing gasoline on a fire. This is especially true if oil gets in a person's eyes. Be sure to keep EFA Blend, Olive Oil or Coconut Oil close when working with Essential Oils. If all these gave less than optimal outcome, I'd consider topical or internal Black Salve, knowing using Black Salve can be incredibly painful and at the same time rapid and effective. And when I say painful here, pain more intense and sustained than most people may be comfortable with.
