Re: Rath protocol/Lysine
Journey
I did a bit of research on the Rath treatment. It uses Lysine, Vitamin C, Proline and a green tea extract. The Lysine and Vitamin C work together apparently to inhibit those enzymes that break down the collagen barrier that separates cells from each other and inhibiting these collagen breaking enzymes inhibits the spread of cancer cells. I forgot what the Proline does. My research was very prliminary. Lysine and Proline are Amino Acids.
The Rath protocol involves a strict diet also. One of the purposes of this diet is to greatly restrict the intake of an Amino Acid called Glycine which is a major component of a chemical called Elastin which is important in blood vessel formation. It sounds promising.
