THE SUPPRESION OF THE USE OF L-TRPTOPHAN,
A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE SLEEP AID, RELAXER AND MEMORY INHANCER
by Physicist Gary Wade (11/17/07)
L-tryptophan
is an essential amino acid. It is also
a precursor for serotonin biosynthesis.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter essential for proper brain
function. Before its withdrawal from
the market in 1989 by the FDA, L-tryptophan had been used extensively for 15
years as a safe, non-addictive, effective, and cheap, mood enhancer, memory
aid, relaxer and sleep aid.(21,22,23,24,25,26,27) However, in 1989 a mysterious new syndrome
Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome (EMS) was discovered and associated with the
taking of L-tryptophan.(28)
Several dozens of people died and several thousand people suffered
debilitating illness. The source cause
of EMS was eventually traced to impurities in the L-tryptophan sold by the
Japanese pharmaceutical company of Showa Denko K.K., Tokyo, Japan.(29) Showa Denko made several manufacturing
procedural changes in L-tryptophan manufacturing between December 1988 and June
1989. These changes had the net effect
of essentially lowering purification standards in their new genetically
engineered L-tryptophan manufacturing process.(30,31,32,33,34,35) It should also be noted that the FDA went
to some trouble to conceal the fact that the L-tryptophan in question was
produced through genetic engineering.(36)
Even
though L-tryptophan was proven not to be the cause of EMS and the L-tryptophan
from all other manufacturers on the planet was shown to be safe, the FDA has
refused to allow L-tryptophan supplements to once again be sold in health food
stores or over the counter in drug stores.
However, the FDA does still allow the use of many prescription drugs as
sleep aids which have serious side effects ( toxic / dangerous ) and which make
pharmaceutical companies and their AMA drug pushers huge profits. The sleeping pill drug Halcyon, which was
reportedly used regularly by both former Secretary of State James Baker the 3rd
and former president George Bush has very dangerous side effects, which you can
read about in the Physicians Desk Reference.
As an example of a Halcyon side effect, remember when former president
Bush (senior) vomited at a
Japanese State Dinner ?
There
are no legitimate reasons for the FDA keeping L-tryptophan supplements off the
market. The FDA keeping L-tryptophan
off the market is like keeping aspirin or penicillin off the market because one
manufacture somewhere in the world once made a series of contaminated batches
of the product. The situation we have here is corrupt
administrators and lawyers in the FDA using the FDA's unchecked legal powers,
in the guise of public safety, to remove from the market place a safe,
effective, and cheap competitor compound to the dangerous and expensive
prescription drugs supplied by the pharmaceutical companies and pushed by the
AMA drug pushers, who cannot seem to remember their Hippocratic oath (..."do no harm"...).
The
former commissioner of the FDA, David Kessler is both an M.D. and an attorney,
he understands completely how he and his AMA brethren have continually violated
their Hippocratic oath and how he has betrayed the public trust not only in the
L-tryptophan matter, but in a large number of other duplicitous actions. The FDA under commissioner Kessler planned to adopt regulations, which will put
all health food store supplements and products under their control, so as to
remove from public access all effective, safe, and cheap products which compete
with generally toxic pharmaceutical company products. After Kesslers forced resignation as FDA Commissioner for his
blatant fraud filings in his trip expense reports, his successors have
continued to find ways to suppress the availability of effective, safe and cheap
nutritional products which compete with generally toxic pharmaceutical
products. They have now succeeded using
Codex Alimentarius, which the FDA signed off on the 4th of July 2006. Under the Codex Alimentarius agreement which is under a treaty
agreement which has authority over U.S. Federal law, all vitamin, mineral, and
nutritional supplement availability and available dose amount must be made the
same as those allowed in the European Union (EU). Currently in the EU all over- the-counter vitamin and mineral
supplement dose levels have been reduced to ridiculous low amounts, e.g.,
vitamin C in 10 mg doses. The FDA has
not attempted to implement Codex Alimentarius yet, but they will and we should
use this as a catalyst to take the FDA apart.
The cumulative results of the FDA/pharmaceutical cartel plan is
tantamount to committing mass manslaughter on the American public, while the
AMA members, the pharmaceutical companies, and insurance companies reap huge
profits from the associated unnecessary illnesses, disease, prematurely aging and dying of the general
public. It may seem strange at first
that insurance companies will make more money from more illness, but if you
take a close look at how insurance companies actually work, it will become
clear how illness equates to profit. Currently
2/3 of the HMOs are owned by insurance companies. This should never have been allowed to
happen. However, we do live and die
under a corporate controlled U.S. government; greed rules. Have you noticed that approximately half of
your lawmakers in Washington, D.C. were corporate attorneys before they came
to D.C.?
An
excellent example of the rampant ethical and moral corruption which exists and
is running rampant inside the FDA and other governmental public health
organizations is provided by an article in The Journal Of Clinical
Investigation of March 1993, Volume 91, p. 804-811. In this article scientists at the Center for Food Safety and
Applied Nutrition at the FDA, ran experiments using the Lewis rat. They feed the rats contaminated
L-tryptophan, with similar contaminants to the Showa Denko K.K. bad
L-tryptophan batches, and pure L-tryptophan.
The researchers falsely claimed that the rat dosage (2,000 mg / kg of
body weight per day) of L-tryptophan represented or corresponded to a human
dosage of 5 to 6 grams a day. However,
a dosage of 2,000 gm / kg of body weight per day corresponds to:
(
2,000 mg / kg of body wt. / day) ( 70
kg / person ) = 140 grams / day / person. This is an "error" of well more than
a factor of twenty. Yet, only the
contaminated L-tryptophan resulted in the characteristic symptoms of EMS. The pure L-tryptophan dosage resulted in
only minor pathology. The authors of
this disgraceful article wrongly claimed the minor pathology resulting from the
massive dosage of pure L-tryptophan proved pure L-tryptophan was a contributing
factor to the development of EMS. This
study was apparently carried out to give the corrupt FDA administrators and their
corrupt legal department something to use in the guise of public safety
concerns for justification of the continued removal from the over-the-counter
market of a safe, effective, and cheap competitor of the highly profitable and
toxic prescription drugs produced by pharmaceutical companies and pushed by AMA
doctors. How would you like these same
researchers to conduct tests on all of your favorite over the counter drug
products and food supplements? For
example:
Question- What do you think would happen to you if you
took 140 grams of aspirin a day?
Answer- You would die on the first or second day
from massive hemorrhages.
The
most disturbing thing about this disgraceful article is that this article
included as authors thirteen scientists from not only the FDA, but the National
Institutes of Health, National Institutes of Mental Health, National Institutes
of Cancer, and other Institutes. Do you
want these scientists ostensibly looking out for your health and well being? Sorry, that is what they are doing right
now.
What
We the People need is a greatly reformed AMA and FDA. This will require a grass roots movement
that will go actively after the corruption in the leadership in both the AMA
and FDA, that was facilitated/generated by and maintained by, the greed and
corruption of the multinational drug cartel.
