GABA (GAMMA AMINOBUTYRIC ACID) Discussion Thread

[ladycolorado]

Well folks I would like to let you know I am getting out in the world a bit and doing much better. I have been taking a new natural supplement and it helps so many levels regarding Morgellons Disease for me. It can be bought cheaply online.

My doctor gave it to me for more restful sleep. Then I noticed after a month aside from better quality sleep I have lost 15 lbs all fat so a good thing.

My mood is also much better. My cognitive skills are shaper and my flareups are less. I shed less. General mood is better. Let's face this: Morgellons is so painful and disruptive to ones quality of life and health in the past I often felt like a lion poked with a stick too much.

I use Dr. Miracle's shampoo and plain castille soap my hygeine regimen is almost normal. GABA is best taken before bedtime.
I take 500 mg daily.


I sell NOTHING. I often try to find the cheapest stuff I can which is helpful. I get weary of us getting ripped off.

I also think detox helps but is not the ultimate solution. We have sensitivities. Jonsi is right on with that assesment: desenistization. The alkaline/acidic argument is not what I go by I eat somople healthy food. I avoid soy and cornsyrup and processed food.

Water is also key. Proteins green living food. I love hot tea.

Please feel free to share your thoughts info and experiences with GABA and if you try it give it at least a week to get into your system. There is not one size fits all cure. However this could be a useful tool for us as a natural.

It helps to stabilize the nervous system and restores a more healthy sleep cycle. There is much information which implicates it could be helpful for many neurological diseases like Alzheimers, Parkinsons, ADD, ADHD, Epilespsy, Anxiety, Alcoholism, and Diabetes.

Hope this helps.

Hello LC, long time no see and thanks for posting this. GABA sounds good and I'm glad it's helping you and you're feeling better over all. But there's one 'thing' that really bothers me with GABA mainly the effect of muscle build up. I wouldn't like to look like Arni..lol.. after a while. Have you noticed anything in that direction other than weight loss?

Katinka no AHHNOLD side effect absolutly not. Yeah I do not want to look like a dude either. It really just levels out everything regarding the nervous system and metabolism. Makes them more efficient.

I hate taking pills period but this one I actually look forward to taking as weird as it sounds. No buzz just has helped me on so many levels with Morgellons Disease. Especially the shedding the biting and stinging the horrible flareups of symptoms and pain.

And even fitful sleep better than even much 8 hours of sleep I have had in years. Like when you are a child and you have that reall GOOD sleep.

I no longer crave cigarettes I am happy with the elctronic not perfect but better for my health and better for those around me.

My mind is clear to before Morgellons exposure most of the time unless not slept and need to sleep.

Please if anyone tries this give it at least a week. Post if it helps you or no. I hope it does but no one size fits all treatment protocol for Morgellons each person body/situation/sensitivities healthwise differs.

All I can say is I am glad my Morgellons Doctor gave me this for sleep and all the other benefits are a bonus.

Are you taking the 200 mg GABA 4 x a day? The article I clicked on said that would be the dose. My nervous system has been a wreck for a long time, even before the Morgs set up camp. This could be very useful to me. My sleep is fragile, nervous system on edge. I notice when I sleep more and more deeply my nervous system is not quite so edgy. Thanks for the topic LC!

[ladycolorado]

Hi lindy. I have seen improvement with a mere 1000 mg (2x 500 mg tablet) a day at bedtime. Keep in mind I have had treatment for Morgellons Disease for some time.

So if this is what is recommended what you read than this should be fine too. It is a natural enzyme So pretty good as a natural and safe. I honestly think one of the best new additions to my therapy.

Many people underestimate the healing power of sleep. I think the subconcious works out many of the problems of the waking day and it is an essential component to healing and keeping the immune system strong. Morgellons Disease is not condusive to rest at all we all know this perhaps so our body has less capcity to repair itself.

What I am also pleased with is shedding is much less and discomfort skin problems, pain etc. Have you ever noticed how much better lesions scars look after sleep with this disease vs. a time when had no sleep at all? There is a visual difference you can SEE.

It is important to make sure it is a capsule fior better absorption than a regualr pill. Also make sure it is pure GABA and not just a trace thrown in with other ingredients. Purity of naturals is important.


Anyone who would like to try GABA I hope you shall post your findings in this thread. Keep in mind it takes about a week to get into the system. The results might not be the same for everyone some are more sick than others.

I started taking the GABA after reading your post. Unfortunately I bought the wrong kind, not the capsule. Dang it. It does not seem to be doing anything as yet, but only have taken for a week. Company is Source Naturals, 750 mg and it is in a large pill form. What brand do you get?

[Gator]

Hi LC, you are right on with the Gaba. I just forget to take it. When I do, I sleep more restful.

Hi Lindy2, Great to hear from you. The capsules are always better than pills and liquids are still better. You might try putting the pill in some water, let it dissolve and drink it. I have to do that with several things I bought that only come in pills. If the pill won't dissolve you may want to consider getting a refund for the product. Source Naturals is a good company, I think.

Please excuse the negativity on this site. There IS great information in some of the old posts
that may be helpful to you. It appears that pms or email will be our best shoutbox. You can call my landline anytime.

I have learned a little about the Chinese herb Eleuthro lately.

Dr. Saxion N.D. cited and discussed a study she thought was very interesting. It appears that eleuthro helps many negatives in the body, It is an adaptogenic herb, a body balancer,that balances the blood pressusre, blood sugar, and lots of other good things.

Luv you L.C. and lindy2,
Hugs and healing to you.

Some discussion here about why GABA is difficult to find in UK. It seems to have been banned for use in UK, so online may be the only way to go:

Is GABA still available / legal / safe etc ?

Why is GABA banned in the Uk? is it safe for anxiety? - Yahoo! UK & Ireland Answers

[janedoe]
