Re: Blood Brain Barrier Permeability, Oxygen and Age
I was wondering if you can tell me how long it took you to solve POIS, from your initial, devastating experiences until your successful conclusion recently? Also, I assume you were in great shape physically (boxing/training etc) when POIS started? But did you continue to exercise vigorously during your recovery period? What was your routine? Can you also tell me your age?
I'm asking these questions because I'm interested in how medications, supplements etc. affect different people differently if, for their efficacy, they need to pass the BBB. One of my theories is that if a person has good circulation and plenty of blood OXYGEN (the universal detoxifier), they may respond differently to medications.
Perhaps faster with a stronger impact? I don't know. This may (theoretically) be a result of our brains with billions of cells continually cleaning cellular waste and toxins; removing them. A young person in great shape with plenty of circulating oxygen may very well have an easier time with the BBB permeability issues. This may explain how your intake of GABA and 5HTP so "easily" found their receptors. Thus, my theory suggests that doses of different supplements (such as amino acids) may be totally different for different people or may never work at all.
For me, whatever I take goes right to my brain. For example, I just took 100 mg. of L Theanine the other day and it went right to my brain---the same power as a psychotropic. You obviously are strong and respond quickly to meds, and you can change things up quickly. I also am a life long athlete in very good shape, but I'm 60 yrs. old and I'm losing strength and power and endurance. This is a bummer. Right now for me, I have concluded that I will continue my experiments with supplements at MUCH lower doses (due to age). For me, I think this issue of Oxygen, Circulation and BBB is significant. I don't ever want to return to any modern, psychiatric medications. My psychiatrist was quite puzzled last year how taking 1 mg. of Valium a day worked so fast and effectively for 3 months, since it is NEVER given in such low doses, not even to babies). I assume it was ushered in right past all barriers.
Thanks Michael, your answer will help me in my experiments with swimming, breathing, posture, and how to take my supplements.
