I'm not understanding this? so when a Patient had 6grams lysine via diet, it wasnt enough?
Neither Linus Pauling, nor I in my post indicated he got already 6 g lysine from diet. How could we know? He upped his supplemental dose to 6 g and it helped. We can, however assume that this patient did get some grams of lysine from food too, like everyone of us .

And in retrospect calculated the deviation of all supplements taken the proceeding year compared relative to my intake for the whole 9 year I'm on Pauling's therapy. Interestingly, in that preceding year my lysine and proline intake had declined by about 20% (from 6 lysine and 2 g proline in average).
PAD=Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a narrowing of the peripheral arteries to the legs, stomach, arms, and head ?
so how did you have the measured?
Main symptoms is that much pain in legs while walking, that one has to stop. In my case already after 3-400 meter. Diagnostically with MRI and ultra sound a 80% stenosis at the abdominal aorta bifurcation.
zarfas wrote:sounds great and how did you get that to go into remission?
Pauling's therapy, the recommendations of Dr. William Davis, a low carb, high fat diet, and patience.

I was on Pauling therapy for 9 years. During all these years there were fluctuations - increases and decreases - of all nutrients, some introduced later (like Ayurvedic herbals), other discontinued (like pumpkin seed extract). The complete remission of the walking pain in my legs (called intermittent claudication) happened at the beginning of year 6 of all these 9 years. However, started already very gradually with the 1st year by increasing pain-free walking distance up to 1 hour.
What I did to get remission? All of the above for 9 years now.
