[What is 5-HTP]

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a chemical by-product of the protein building block L-tryptophan. It is also produced commercially from the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia 5-HTP is used for sleep disorders such as insomnia, depression, anxiety, migraine and tension-type headaches, fibromyalgia, obesity, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), seizure disorder, and Parkinson’s disease.

 [How does it work?]

5-HTP works in the brain and central nervous system by increasing the production of the chemical serotonin. Serotonin can affect sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation. Since 5-HTP increases the synthesis of serotonin, it is used for several diseases where serotonin is believed to play an important role including depression, insomnia, obesity, and many other conditions.

[Function]

Depression. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth improve symptoms of depression in some people. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth might be as beneficial as certain prescription antidepressant drugs for improving depression symptoms. In most studies, 150-800 mg daily of 5-HTP was taken. In some cases, higher doses have been used.

Down syndrome. Some research shows that giving 5-HTP to infants with Down syndrome might improve muscle and activity. Other research shows that it does not improve muscle or development when taken from infancy until 3-4 years of age. Research also shows that taking 5-HTP along with conventional prescription drugs does improve development, social skills, or language skills.

Anxiety 5-HTP was found to be protective against carbon dioxide-induced panic attacks. One study compared 5-HTP and the prescription medication clomipramine for anxiety. Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant used for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder. 5-HTP was found to be somewhat effective in reducing anxiety symptoms, but not as effective as clomipramine.

Sleep 5-HTP supplements fared a little better for insomnia.5-HTP decreased the time required to get to sleep and decreased the number of nighttime awakenings. Taking 5-HTP along with GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a relaxing neurotransmitter, reduced the time it took to fall asleep and increased the duration and quality of sleep. One study found that children with night terrors benefited from 5-HTP.

Candida Albicans is more than just yeast- for most people, it’s already mutated into a more aggressive fungal form that eats holes through the intestinal tract causing many of todays health problems like food allergies, autoimmune disorders, Crohn’s disease, IBS, low energy and many more aggressive diseases. People need to know what it is and what to do about it.

Candida’s function is to serve as a backup digestive system when our primary system becomes overwhelmed. Candida metabolizes “dead” material in our bodies; material that is too difficult or toxic for our digestive systems to handle. A healthy immune system keeps our Candida under control and in its yeast form as opposed to the Candida getting out of control and digressing to its fungal state. Antibiotics are one cause of our Candida getting out of control. Sugar, flour, breads, and the like facilitate an unhealthy Candida. Once your Candida gets to the fungal state it generates “Hyphae” which ultimately cause its fingerlike projections to dig into our intestines affecting the permeability of the intestinal walls. Among other things, that can result into “Leaky Gut” and cause very serious health conditions. Eating the right kinds of foods such as fruits, and uncooked vegetables will keep our Candida in perfect balance.

The main thing that overgrowth of our Candida causes is damage to our intestinal walls..

The intestinal tract is an important site for C. albicans dissemination. The mechanisms that allow C. albicans to break through the intestinal mucosal barrier are quite complex….

Stop feeding the Candida with sugar, bread, pastas, flour, pastries, etc…

Abstract. Conclusions: The effect of adding a high amount of refined carbohydrates to the diet of healthy human subjects has a limited influence on Candida colonization.

Probiotics breaks down the sugars to a fermentation state

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4982648/

Because yeast feeds on carbohydrates, a food plan must be followed that starves yeast of its main fuel: simple sugars. Additional support in the form of healthy bacteria, called Probiotics, is also used to compete with Candida in the intestines, resulting in a rebalancing of the microflora.

Best way to build up your Probiotics is fiber ….or Prebiotics.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17472874

Microecology of the gastrointestinal tract is the physiologic basis for the effect of dietary fiber, prebiotics and probiotics on the host. The ecology consists of the gastrointestinal tract, primarily the intestines, the foods that are fed into the tract, and the flora living within. Within this ecology, normal flora and probiotics, ferment dietary fiber and prebiotics to produce short chain fatty acids and substances that are absorbed and effect the host at the intestinal level and systemically. In this review, we will discuss the effects of prebiotics, probiotics and dietary fiber in gastrointestinal disorders and diseases.

Best fibers are vegetable fibers

Dietary fiber analyses were carried out using Southgate’s method, Southgate, 1978, on 15 types of leafy vegetables and five types each of fruit-vegetables, leguminous vegetables and fruits. The non-cellulosic fractions were always higher than the cellulosic and lignin fraction. Total dietary fiber contents were highest in leguminous vegetables, 3·3–6·8 g/100 g, followed by the leafy vegetables, 1·2–4·8 g/100 g, and finally, the fruit-vegetables, 1·4–4·2 g/100 g. The fiber contents of fruit samples were relatively low, 1·5–2·9 g/100 g. In comparison with crude fiber values, the dietary fiber values were always higher.

From Blog Talk Radio March 6th 2014
Natural Health with Saul Marcus, ND and Claire Arcidiacono, ND
Summary of discussion

Our 3rd time talking about misconceptions in the world of natural health and supplements.

Echinacea — it’s traditional use as an “Alternative” for “bad blood,” snake bites and other signs of deep toxicity, compared to the modern fad of using it for acute colds.

Kava — Is it really toxic to the liver.

Red clover — Another herb that has been theorized as potentially dangerous because it has phytoestrogens. Discussion of traditional use and more recent biochemical theories about how it works.

Discussion of how herbs work: “Active ingredient” versus the whole herb
Are large doses of herbs necessary?

5-htp: It’s use in depression and fear of Serotonin Syndrome

Saul Marcus and Claire Arcidiacono are both naturopathic doctors practicing in New York.
