Val, with another Question LOL

[VJoy]

Okay, it is me again............Hey, stop running away!! Come Back!!!

Question.......from conversations in another thread, it is apparent to me I will need to start taking my amino acid suppliment very, very gradually, and build up a tolerance.

I have 60 days to see if I like my PATHS module. Since it will probably take weeks for me to build up to what I need nutritionally, is there any point in watching my module now? If I am on SOME E3AFA, will maybe a little bit of info get into my head, as I build up the suppliment?

I understand I might feel sleepy or foggy, but other than that, will my brain still process SOMETHING in the meantime?

I hate to waste time to evaluate the module.......

thanks!!I ask a LOT of questions, because I want to get this right.
Thanks for your patience....

Hi Dear Val!

Honey...you are only experiencing one module plus the sleep one, so I really do not see why you should not go ahead and enjoy viewing it as often as you desire! It is unlikely that you will feel any noticable mental fatigue, so I would say, go have a nice, relaxing sit-down with your module and enjoy every second of it! If anyone thinks otherwise, I am sure they will pop in here and set me straight, but I strongly believe you are good to go!!!

With Much Love and Gratitude,

Pamela

I deleted my previous reply because I wanted to word my response differently....

Dearest Pam ........while I understand you are saying that the two modules shouldn't make me sleepy, I still don't have an answer to my question..

According to all the info, I need mega amounts of spirulina for the modules to have any affect. I don't have that now, nor will I for weeks or more (IF I can even tolerate it).

I am kicking myself for not exploring the spirulina thing more before I purchased the module. I just didn't realize.

I will be wasting time.

Thanks

Oops!

Hi again, Dear Val!

Oops...You are right...I didn't answer your question very well!

Okay...Since you are only doing one module plus sleep, 2 grams of whatever form of amino acids that YOU can tolerate once daily or once every other day is adequate nutrition for your brain to process ALL of the PATHS instructions. In other words, your subconscious WILL be receiving all of the instructions, but there is a chance that you might feel a bit mentally fatigued. If that happens, it is your brain's way of telling you that you should up your intake of aminos. You should just see how you feel and if you DO feel groggy or sleepy (more than usual), then simply increase the amount of aminos a tiny bit at a time while you are beginning your experience with PATHS.

So...Do watch your modules and KNOW that your subconscious IS receiving the instructions! Just keep a close eye on how you feel to know whether or not you should add a wee bit more of the aminos to eliminate any feelings of mental fatigue

With Much Love and Gratitude,

Pamela

Thanks Pam, but see......

I found out in another thread that it was the AFA that caused me so much abdominal pain yesterday, I took 2000 mg........I need to start again, take a very small amount, and try to GRADUALLY build......if I can't tolerate that, there doesn't seem to be another form I can take.

Aaron suggested Whey Protein, but I am allergic to dairy,

I looked at Zrii,........it has ginger, which I am allergic to,

sooooooooo unless there is some OTHER source, I am left with AFA or spiralina, which I am going to start again tomorrow, but I tell you, I am very scared, as I do NOT want another day like yesterday....that was a nightmare.

thanks hon, I am venting my disappointment at my own body.......and I feel like PATHS is my last chance to help myself........

[Pamela]

Sending you Light...

Vent Away, Sweetie,

Remember that we are all here to help you and we are sending you Light and Love...

I read the thread you are speaking of and it is quite likely that that amount of AFA was too much for your body to handle initially and that a gradual build up would have been the better route for you to take. We will see tomorrow if your body will tolerate the spirulina. I told you before that we will be keeping a close eye on this issue, and I promise to live up to my word. Just take a small amount and see how you feel... You may not need to increase your intake at all! But don't be afraid to watch your modules either. Your body will tell you if you need to add a wee bit as time goes on.

Okay...Here's an admission...There have been a couple of times that I have gone a few weeks without taking ANY spirulina at all (Hey Aaron...Honey...stop giving me "The Look!", okay? ) and I STILL was receiving the benefits of my modules! The first time was several months AFTER I started with PATHS... But after a few weeks of not taking any AND being on about 18 modules , I would begin to feel some of the mental fatigue so I knew I needed to get myself to the health food store in order to feel my optimum self again. It is different with everyone, but you are doing the right thing to begin again tomorrow with just a little bit and seeing how you feel!

I hope this helps, Dear Val... In the meantime, we are all looking forward to hearing how you do tomorrow and are intending that those very painful cramps will not come back to plague you.

Rest well tonight, Sweetie...

With Much Love and Gratitude,

Pamela

[VJoy]

Thank you for understanding my rant, Pam, You are a luv.

I am determined to try again, because I WANT this.......so I will see how I do.

I am not at all afraid of watching the module, (I watched it Friday morning) I just figured there was no point without the suppliments........but I understand what you say, and I will just have to see how things go day by day with my tummy.

Thanks so much!

whey alternatives

Hi Val,

There is also hemp protein and soy protein.

Both should be available in powder or tablets or capsules.
Either one is a great alternative to whey.

[VJoy]

HHmmmm......I CAN take hemp.........I cannot take soy. I have hemp powder in my fridge.


Aaron, if I found HEMP capsules or tablets, how much would I need per module?

OR, powder, how much? The bottle I have says 4 Tbsp = 30 grams........is that good? how much do I need per module?

What would the dose be? Is this just as effective as spirulina??

Thanks!

[VJoy]

I couldn't edit the above post............so here is more on the HEMP POWDER i HAVE.........


IS THIS OKAY, AND HOW MUCH DO I NEED PER MODULE? THE BOTTLE SAYS 4 TBSP - 30 GMS.


Here is what my bottle of Living Harvest Hemp Powder says.

Living Harvest's Hemp Protein is the perfect high performance plant-based whole food. Our Hemp Protein is 100% certified organic, raw, gluten free and vegan. It contains all 10 Essential Amino Acids, with 45%-50% protein per serving, a well-balanced ratio of Omega 3 and Omega 6 Essential Fatty Acids, and GLA. See Hemp 101 for a complete nutritional profile of hemp seeds.


THANK YOU !!!

[Aaron]

hemp protein

Hi Val,

I would use the recommended amount that the bottle says every day. After a week or so, that should be enough time for you to know if it will do the job. If not, you might feel a little tired or sluggish. You could boost the amount a little more after that but try the recommended amount first.

[VJoy]

Oh Aaron, thank you thank you!!! I can do that!!

THANK YOU!

I know nothing about biology......is it that the amino acids turn to protein, and the purpose is to get enough protein to the brain, via amino acids?

[Aaron]

aminos and protein

Hi Val,

You're welcome!

Protein is made of aminos and depending on the source of protein, it can be
more or less absorbable.

The green/blue-green algae's happen to be about the most absorbable because the lower down on the food chain and more primitive, the more absorbable the aminos are.

Red meat for example has a lot of protein but the protein is not very absorbable at all compared to spirulina for example.

Once you have the protein absorbed from your food, your body can use it to build things as is or it can break down the protein and use and benefit from the individual amino acids. Each one has very, very specific functions and these functions can only be realized by the body when it does break them out of the protein.

For example, most people don't take individual aminos in supplement form. Most people get the aminos in protein from their food. Then for example, the protein can be broken down to get L-Tyrosine. The body uses this to make dopamine.

L-Tyrosine happens to be NON-ESSENTIAL meaning it is not essential to get it out of the diet because our own body an make it. And the ESSENTIAL amino acids are essential to get out of the diet. Even if our body can make it, some people don't make enough and have to increase protein intake or take L-Tyrosine supplement.

There are around 20 common aminos, but actually, there are hundreds and most are unidentified...and possibly thousands will be discovered.

[VJoy]

Okay, thank you so much Aaron!!

I can easily take Hemp powder, which I started today (I had stopped). I need a lot more than I would spirulina, probably, but it is a start since I am on one module plus sleep (2).

In the meantime, I will try to build a tolerance to spirulina. Maybe I can do a combo for myself, (hemp/spirulina) because if I like the modules I have now, I wish to build a complete theater, which means I will need lots more suppliments.

I really appreciate the explanation, I am a person who likes to understand WHY something is, so I know I am doing it correctly.

Thanks so much Aaron for your patience, you are a doll..........

(I am armed now with Hemp powder, AFA, Spirulina tablets, and NOW brand Spirulina powder),

I WILL SUCCEED!!!!

thanks, Val
