IDO causes drastic reduction in tryptophan for protein synthesis needed by infected cells and infectious organisms-tryptophan at very low levels Beta amyloid peptide-Alzheimer’s Excess tryptophan Causes failure to Kill infectious agents Cortisol Stress Reaction is NOT reversible

One-fifth of participants had lead levels of 2.11 micrograms per dL, which made them 2.3 times more likely to develop major depressive disorder and 4.9 times more likely to develop panic disorder compared to other participants. Normal < 5.0 micrograms per dL.

Immune modifications made to deprive microorganisms to not get enough tryptophan to “starve them out” Tryptophan can be converted to quinolinic acid which is excitotoxic and CAN CAUSE BRAIN DAMAGE. It also kills the cells that contain viruses, bacteria and parasites. Stress induces the enzymes that increase converstion of tryptophan to quninolinic acid Infection increases the conversion to quinolinic acid. Beta ayloid peptie also causes the induction of additional IDO and thus stimulates production of more quinolinic acid. This graphic shows how stress can be damaging by It was thought that there was ONE INGREDIENT in one batch of tryptophan (from japan) that caused EMS, but similar problems were found in with other types of typtophan Conversion of trytophan to 5-HTP is NOT REVERSIBLE which means that it is not possible for it to convert to quinolinic acid.
Not making enough serotonin in relationship to quinolinic acid. VMA – breakdown product of norepinephrine 5HIAA – breakdown product of serotonin (which is how serotonin: quinolinic acid ratio is approximated. HVA - breakdown product of dopamine; elevated in pheochromocytoma and neuroblastoma. Smokers show lower amounts of HVA.
Carbon monoxide: On average, about 170 people in the United States die every year from CO produced by non-automotive consumer products. These products include malfunctioning fuel-burning appliances such as furnaces, ranges, water heaters and room heaters; engine-powered equipment such as portable generators; fireplaces; and charcoal that is burned in homes and other enclosed areas. In 2005 alone, CPSC staff is aware of at least 94 generator-related CO poisoning deaths. Forty-seven of these deaths were known to have occurred during power outages due to severe weather, including Hurricane Katrina. Still others die from CO produced by non-consumer products, such as cars left running in attached garages. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that several thousand people go to hospital emergency rooms every year to be treated for CO poisoning.
