"Antioxidants, Part III"
(09:19:14) (Host-Nick) I think we left off at green tea, last week.
(09:19:39) (ernie) ok green tea good fur you
(09:19:46) (Roz) oh lets keep green tea Nick
(09:20:05) (ernie) i like greeninage
(09:20:09) (ernie) lol
(09:20:32) (Roz) how about red sour cherrie concentrated juice
(09:20:32) (Host-Nick) I think so, I love coffee, but I think I need green tea to get those neurotransmitters functioning here.
(09:20:39) (ernie) what is green tea good for you ?
(09:20:41) (Meg) i just had a cup of green tea
(09:21:03) (Roz) makes ya sexy ernie
(09:21:23) (Meg) wow Roz, lol
(09:21:24) (ernie) im going to have a cup brb
(09:21:31) (ernie) lol
(09:21:37) (patricia) lol ernie
(09:21:39) (Leon) Roz are you reveiling a secret?
(09:21:42) (Host-Nick) It helps dissolve fatty deposits in the arteries as well as breaking down the plaque which builds up on your teeth and form the basis for the start of tooth decay.
(09:22:18) (Roz) would I do that Leon?
(09:22:22) (ernie) what secret ive been chasing her for a while shes to darn slipery
(09:22:23) (WalksInSpirit) LOL Roz
(09:22:44) (Meg) she might Leon
(09:23:06) (ernie) she keeps sliping thru my fingers must be all that oil
(09:23:09) (Roz) let him chase me till I catch him lol
(09:23:26) (Meg) lol Roz
(09:23:33) (Host-Nick) Green tea also helps fight cancer because it has a number of powerful antioxidants, as well as antiviral and antifungal properties.
(09:23:41) (ernie) no but nick green tea
(09:23:51) (ernie) please is it good
(09:24:09) (ernie) ok
(09:24:26) (Meg) Nick if you mix green tea with another tea, will it have the same properties to do all that good?
(09:24:36) (Roz) and tastes good
(09:24:46) (Host-Nick) It is awesome stuff, it is unlikely that it would harm, unless you had a severe medical conditions for which you had been prohibited a number of other things.
(09:25:18) (ernie) can you get it at any grosery store
(09:25:31) (Roz) but not for dinner keeps ya awake
(09:25:31) (Leon) Roz you are a wonder
(09:25:52) (Roz) thanks Leon
(09:26:10) (Host-Nick) Morningtime you can make a soup out of it! :o)
(09:26:26) (Meg) Leon she is a Gem:)
(09:29:14) (Host-Nick) Melatonin, our first antioxidant for tonight is actually a hormone, that is it is produced by the body. It can been taken as a supplement,
(09:29:48) (ernie) so is there any of that in tea
(09:30:43) (Blu) No Ernie, no melatonin in tea
(09:30:49) (ernie) k
(09:31:49) (Host-Nick) It has two remarkable properties, the first, that it is able to 'surround and render neutral' what is known as 'singlet oxygen'. This is remarkable, because many molecules get exited during chemical reactions to the point where they vibrate out of control. And the ned result are these free radicals and strange configurations which the body has to neutralize and bring under control.
(09:32:33) (Leon) interesting
(09:32:58) (Host-Nick) Melatonin is capable of neutralizing this singlet oxygen, it is like a a free oxygen atom, just ready to wipe out our DNA if not neutralized.
(09:34:35) (Host-Nick) This is remarkable, yet the truely amazing thing about melatonin is that it can penetrate into the cell nucleus, and then in the nuclei's mitochondria, where the energy reactions take place,. It protects the mitochondria from DNA damage, and so prolongs life.
(09:34:57) (ernie) cool
(09:35:38) (Host-Nick) The mitochondria are little organs within each cell which are necessary for energy functioning. Sometime later we'll have a chat on cell chemistry. :o)
(09:38:04) (Host-Nick) In laboratory experiments, melatonin has been shown to extend the lifespan of mice; other studies have shown it to inhibit cancer; to protect against degenerative diseases and to strengthen the immune system.
(09:38:59) (ernie) i want some
(09:39:34) (Roz) its available
(09:40:22) (Host-Nick) The next two antioxidants y'all should pay attention to are two amino acids. Methionine, a sulfur-containing amino acid and NAC, known as n-Acetyl Cysteine, which is the other major sulfur containing amino acid.
(09:40:29) (ernie) so give it to me
(09:40:36) (ernie) where do i get it
(09:40:39) (Blu) Be careful ernie, your body makes this naturally. If you take supplements you may inhibit your bodies ability to make it
(09:41:01) (ernie) so take it im moderation '
(09:41:25) (Blu) unless you are getting pretty old, I would not take it at your age
(09:41:58) (Host-Nick) You can probably find melatonin in some natural food stores, but I think it will be expensive, since it is a body produced substance, a hormone, and these things are usually not found in foods.
(09:42:33) (Roz) dont ppl take it to help them sleep sometimes
(09:42:44) (Leon) yes
(09:42:47) (Bill) At night melatonin is produced to help our bodies regulate our sleep-wake cycles. The amount of it produced by our body seems to lessen as we get older. Scientists believe this may be why young people have less problem sleeping than older people.
(09:42:49) (Host-Nick) Good point Blu, the body may only make as much as it thinks it needs.
(09:43:45) (Blu) sleep cycles are tricky
(09:43:50) (Bill) "Melatonin is the all-natural nightcap. It's secreted by the pineal gland, a pea-size structure at the center of the brain, as our eyes register the fall of darkness.
(09:44:17) (Bill) unless your a night owl is my guess
(09:44:20) (Roz) cats must have a lot of it
(09:44:47) (ernie) i stay up late
(09:44:52) (ernie) lots
(09:45:12) (Blu) ernie, if you are reasonably healthy, active and eat right I would not recomend suplements
(09:45:25) (ernie) ok
(09:45:50) (ernie) im reasonably a little loco other than that i think im ok
(09:46:01) (Blu) yeah, you are ok
(09:46:02) (Host-Nick) The pineal gland enters the picture, unusual from a medicinal chemistry point of view.
(09:47:11) (Meg) will green tea help you sleep? or keep you awake?
(09:47:45) (Roz) ever hear of a suplement of magnesium interfering w/ dream recall
(09:47:46) (Meg) i mean should i drink it in the morning or at night?
(09:47:46) (Host-Nick) Mostly keep you awake during the night, but in the morning it helps start the activation cycle, Meg.
(09:48:00) (Bill) a bottle of 100 tablets of 1.5 mg melatonin should last 100 days. If the bottle costs $10.00, the price per day is 10 cents. (Cheap!) Check out WorldWide Labs' prices.
(09:48:20) (Blu) I don't know Roz
(09:48:26) (Meg) ok, thanks Nick, i should not be drinking it right now, lol
(09:48:36) (Blu) taking it in the morning?
(09:48:52) (Leon) 3mg is my choice
(09:49:04) (Blu) of what Leon?
(09:49:17) (Leon) melaatonin
(09:49:20) (Host-Nick) Depends on your personal chemistry, some people can sleep after post-dinner coffee, (not me).
(09:50:09) (Bill) tablets of 1.5 mg and 3.0 mg. Start off with a 1.5 mg tablet each night before bed-time, and work your way to larger doses if needed.
(09:50:30) (ernie) i didnt say thaat
(09:50:38) (Leon) I don't encourage it be taken every night just in case of body dependency
(09:50:42) (Roz) sounds reasonable Bill
(09:50:52) (Bill) suppose to be good for mild sleep disorders and jet lag to get your sleep cycle back on track
(09:50:57) (ernie) i said i didnt know what did and i was tring everything to get back to my dreaming
(09:51:03) (Cris) What relieves allergy symptoms my car was yellow with pollen today
(09:51:57) (ernie) stay indoors
(09:52:08) (Host-Nick) Inspirol = Herbal Breathing, but also, cleaning the nasal passages with very dilute salt in mineral water Inhale through each nostril a couple of times and then expell.
(09:52:08) (ernie) i dont know
(09:53:00) (Meg) i'm confused, does melatonin, as well as methionine help you sleep?
(09:53:05) (Leon) Flush out the nose while showering
(09:53:19) (ernie) k
(09:53:29) (Cris) Have an allergy headache right now
(09:54:30) (Leon) I'm in the middle of thousands of blooming orange trees
(09:54:52) (Host-Nick) Methionine, like cyeine is a unique amino acid. Unique because these amino acids have sulfur atoms. What sulfur atoms do for amino acids is to allow for a Sulfur-Sulfur bond, which links two chains of a proteins together. Remember that proteins are made up of chains of amino acids.
(09:54:57) (Leon) The air is sweet
(09:55:08) (Host-Nick) cysteine
(09:55:11) (Roz) ah poor baby and we have 28 degrees and wind chill of teens
(09:55:14) (ernie) where leon
(09:55:15) (Cris) sweet with the scent of pollen......
(09:55:30) (ernie) i grew up in southere cali
(09:55:43) (Cris) my azaleas are in bloom
(09:55:50) (Leon) Florida
(09:55:54) (Meg) Leon, yes, the air is sweet
(09:57:19) (Meg) so Nick melatonin will not help you sleep
(09:57:27) (Leon) Stay away from caffine until the pollel lessens
(09:57:43) (Blu) No Meg it will help you
(09:58:50) (Meg) Blu, what about Methionine, it is different that melatonin?
(09:58:52) (Host-Nick) The sulfur containing amino acids, methionine and cyeine (also cystine) not only are critical to the body's bulding blocks, but also are capab;e of neutralizing certain free radicals which require a large "electron field" as opposed to just pure charge power like Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
(09:59:15) (Leon) Melatonin doesn't affect dreaming .
(09:59:32) (Host-Nick) Melatonin is a hormone, made by the body, methionine is an amino acid which you can absorb from your food.
(09:59:35) (Blu) I don't know about methionine
(09:59:56) (Blu) Serena Roney-Dougal suggested that every night the pineal gland starts working at about 7pm; it makes melatonin and shortly afterwards we start to feel sleepy. The pineal gland also makes pinoline, the equivalent to the chemical found Iawaska vine. Pinoline interacts with another neuro-chemical in the brain called Serotonin. We all have this class one drug in our brains!
(10:00:47) (ernie) im getting tired now
(10:00:55) (Blu) LOL
(10:02:19) (Host-Nick) Did you mean ayahuasca, Bill? :o)
(10:03:00) (Bill) gee Nick i don't know ayahuasca
(10:03:42) (Host-Nick) Good things, an amazon jungle vine said to induce conversation with extra-terrestrials. :o)
(10:04:04) (patricia) huh?
(10:04:14) (Cris) In your mind or in reality Nick?
(10:04:20) (Blu) LOL!
(10:05:04) (Roz) oh thats what that does I wondered ..... lol
(10:05:37) (Bill) well then its obvious a few here take ayahuasca :o)
(10:06:13) (Host-Nick) Methionine, is a great hydroxyl radical neutralizer, these are the most dangerous of the side-effects of heavy metal poisoning, excess radiation, including sunlight, exposure, and excess exercise.
(10:06:23) (Blu) One thing I have yet to do Bill is talk to aliens, unless you count WIS
(10:07:07) (Cris) but how do you know for sure Blu? They might look like us
(10:07:08) (Host-Nick) lolol
(10:07:14) (Bill) :o) well then Blu thats a given :o)
(10:07:24) (Roz) wwe're gonna tell him Blu
(10:07:28) (Blu) I have a pretty good idea
(10:07:46) (Blu) I have been accusing him for years of not being from this planet
(10:08:19) (Leon) Were all new comers
(10:08:38) (Cris) Anytime my husband hears about ufo's he askes me if my family has come visiting
(10:08:42) (Leon) The last shall be first
(10:08:45) (WalksInSpirit) LOL Cris
(10:08:51) (Andrew) grin
(10:09:10) (Blu) LOL Cris!
(10:10:54) (Host-Nick) OK, now, the sulfur bearing amino acid cysteine, is needed to make glutathione, a triple amino acid peptide (combination of amino acids) so that it can pass through the blood brain barrier.
(10:11:32) (Andrew) Brain barrier ?!?!?!? I always knew i had a brain barrier !
(10:11:40) (Host-Nick) The blood brain barrier is the key to keeping our nervous system in good health, and therefore the rest of our bodies.
(10:11:52) (Roz) what does sulfur do in the body
(10:13:37) (Host-Nick) NAC = n-Acetyl, cysteine is the most stable form of cysteine which can be prepared as a suplement or eaten as a food. It detoxifies the liver and boosts the immune system, in doing so it allows for the removal of poisons from smoking, spring break beverages and environmental pollutants.
(10:14:44) (Host-Nick) Supplemental NAC can increase the levels of protective enzymes and so ease the effects of time on our bodies.
(10:15:57) (Host-Nick) OK, has anyone any questions up to now?
(10:17:05) (Roz) you are a treasure Nick
(10:18:13) (Host-Nick) Here in the antioxidants we are starting to get into some complications, there is a bunch of stuff, that would best be explained with pictures and diagrams, rather than a whole bunch of lists which I hope are not confusing everyone.
(10:19:04) (Bill) yes hard to draw melecular structures in the chat
(10:19:15) (Host-Nick) lol
(10:20:08) (Host-Nick) I'll figure something out,
(10:20:10) (Bill) People with liver problems, pancreatitis, HIV/AIDS as well as Parkinson's disease may consider obtaining more methionine, after consultation with their health professional, and older people may also benefit from a slightly higher intake of this nutrient.
(10:22:17) (Host-Nick) Yes, Bill, the sulfur containing amino acid are the most delicate chemically, they are the first amino acids to be depleted during toxic chemical and environmental attacks.
(10:23:15) (Host-Nick) OK has anyone any questions?
(10:24:04) (Cris) Thanks for the chat Nick - Blessings all(10:25:21) (Host-Nick) The next antioxidant would be NADH, this is an animal of its own and its chemistry is so unique that perhaps we should start with it next week. The supplements are expensive enough, but they work, for reasons not fully understood.
(10:29:08) (Host-Nick) NADH, deserves a special topic, like L-tryptophan, for perhaps different reasons, it is also a central nutrient for the body's whole energy chemistry.
(10:29:31) (Host-Nick) OK it is now Open Chat
(10:30:38) (WalksInSpirit) Great info tonight, Nick! Thanks!(10:31:04) (Roz) Thanks so much Nick so helpful
(10:31:35) (Blu) Very Interesting Nick!
(10:31:48) (Leon) Nick, I really enjoy this chat room and benefit tremendously------ Thanks
(10:32:05) (Bill) good info Nick

(09:21:39) (Leon) Roz are you reveiling a secret?
(09:21:42) (Host-Nick) It helps dissolve fatty deposits in the arteries as well as breaking down the plaque which builds up on your teeth and form the basis for the start of tooth decay.
(09:22:18) (Roz) would I do that Leon?
(09:22:22) (ernie) what secret ive been chasing her for a while shes to darn slipery

(09:58:52) (Host-Nick) The sulfur containing amino acids, methionine and cyeine (also cystine) not only are critical to the body's bulding blocks, but also are capab;e of neutralizing certain free radicals which require a large "electron field" as opposed to just pure charge power like Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
(09:59:15) (Leon) Melatonin doesn't affect dreaming .
(09:59:32) (Host-Nick) Melatonin is a hormone, made by the body, methionine is an amino acid which you can absorb from your food.
(09:59:35) (Blu) I don't know about methionine
(09:59:56) (Blu) Serena Roney-Dougal suggested that every night the pineal gland starts working at about 7pm; it makes melatonin and shortly afterwards we start to feel sleepy. The pineal gland also makes pinoline, the equivalent to the chemical found Iawaska vine. Pinoline interacts with another neuro-chemical in the brain called Serotonin. We all have this class one drug in our brains!
(10:00:47) (ernie) im getting tired now
(10:00:55) (Blu) LOL
(10:02:19) (Host-Nick) Did you mean ayahuasca, Bill? :o)
(10:03:00) (Bill) gee Nick i don't know ayahuasca
(10:03:42) (Host-Nick) Good things, an amazon jungle vine said to induce conversation with extra-terrestrials. :o)
(10:04:04) (patricia) huh?
(10:04:14) (Cris) In your mind or in reality Nick?
(10:04:20) (Blu) LOL!
(10:05:04) (Roz) oh thats what that does I wondered ..... lol
(10:05:37) (Bill) well then its obvious a few here take ayahuasca :o)
(10:06:13) (Host-Nick) Methionine, is a great hydroxyl radical neutralizer, these are the most dangerous of the side-effects of heavy metal poisoning, excess radiation, including sunlight, exposure, and excess exercise.
(10:06:23) (Blu) One thing I have yet to do Bill is talk to aliens, unless you count WIS
(10:07:07) (Cris) but how do you know for sure Blu? They might look like us
(10:07:08) (Host-Nick) lolol
(10:07:14) (Bill) :o) well then Blu thats a given :o)
(10:07:24) (Roz) wwe're gonna tell him Blu
(10:07:28) (Blu) I have a pretty good idea
(10:07:46) (Blu) I have been accusing him for years of not being from this planet
(10:08:19) (Leon) Were all new comers
(10:08:38) (Cris) Anytime my husband hears about ufo's he askes me if my family has come visiting
(10:08:42) (Leon) The last shall be first
(10:08:45) (WalksInSpirit) LOL Cris
(10:08:51) (Andrew) grin
(10:09:10) (Blu) LOL Cris!
(10:10:54) (Host-Nick) OK, now, the sulfur bearing amino acid cysteine, is needed to make glutathione, a triple amino acid peptide (combination of amino acids) so that it can pass through the blood brain barrier.
(10:11:32) (Andrew) Brain barrier ?!?!?!? I always knew i had a brain barrier !
(10:11:40) (Host-Nick) The blood brain barrier is the key to keeping our nervous system in good health, and therefore the rest of our bodies.
(10:11:52) (Roz) what does sulfur do in the body
(10:13:37) (Host-Nick) NAC = n-Acetyl, cysteine is the most stable form of cysteine which can be prepared as a suplement or eaten as a food. It detoxifies the liver and boosts the immune system, in doing so it allows for the removal of poisons from smoking, spring break beverages and environmental pollutants.
(10:14:44) (Host-Nick) Supplemental NAC can increase the levels of protective enzymes and so ease the effects of time on our bodies.
(10:15:57) (Host-Nick) OK, has anyone any questions up to now?
(10:17:05) (Roz) you are a treasure Nick
(10:18:13) (Host-Nick) Here in the antioxidants we are starting to get into some complications, there is a bunch of stuff, that would best be explained with pictures and diagrams, rather than a whole bunch of lists which I hope are not confusing everyone.
(10:19:04) (Bill) yes hard to draw melecular structures in the chat
(10:19:15) (Host-Nick) lol
(10:20:08) (Host-Nick) I'll figure something out,
(10:20:10) (Bill) People with liver problems, pancreatitis, HIV/AIDS as well as Parkinson's disease may consider obtaining more methionine, after consultation with their health professional, and older people may also benefit from a slightly higher intake of this nutrient.
(10:22:17) (Host-Nick) Yes, Bill, the sulfur containing amino acid are the most delicate chemically, they are the first amino acids to be depleted during toxic chemical and environmental attacks.
(10:23:15) (Host-Nick) OK has anyone any questions?
(10:24:04) (Cris) Thanks for the chat Nick - Blessings all(10:25:21) (Host-Nick) The next antioxidant would be NADH, this is an animal of its own and its chemistry is so unique that perhaps we should start with it next week. The supplements are expensive enough, but they work, for reasons not fully understood.
(10:29:08) (Host-Nick) NADH, deserves a special topic, like L-tryptophan, for perhaps different reasons, it is also a central nutrient for the body's whole energy chemistry.
(10:29:31) (Host-Nick) OK it is now Open Chat
(10:30:38) (WalksInSpirit) Great info tonight, Nick! Thanks!(10:31:04) (Roz) Thanks so much Nick so helpful
(10:31:35) (Blu) Very Interesting Nick!
(10:31:48) (Leon) Nick, I really enjoy this chat room and benefit tremendously------ Thanks
(10:32:05) (Bill) good info Nick
