L-arginine, the Trojan Horse

An article to be published in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shortly will present some research from Stanford University on the use of l-arginine to help fight resistant disease.
The l-arginine surrounds the antibiotic chosen, allowing this complex to get past the membrane pump that encloses the resistant cells. Eight l-arginine molecules surrounded Taxol, the drug used against ovarian cancer in mice.
L-arginine is common in metabolism throughout the body and therefore allowing the resistant cell to allow entry of this complex much like it was a “Trojan Horse”. This in effect “disguised” the Taxol allowing the entry into the resistant cell.
Taxol was used in this study but the authors felt other medications could be used as well.

Joe,
Another win for L-arginine and an important one! Good to see your smile, it is for all of us who are lucky enough to be on the L-arginine regime. The thought of Trojan horses running around, doing good work in my body is pretty exciting.
Thank you,
Christy
Can you give the names of the researchers publishing the study?
Very glad to see this subject brought up because several of our clients have shown to respond to the ProArgi9+ with extreme weight gain in the form of excessive bloating. Now that your conclusion of the "Trojan Horse Effect" has been addressed, our suspicions are confirmed. L-Arginine will deliver to the cells more pronounced ANYTHING THAT IS CONSUMED, which can also be unhelpful substances such as a junk food diet, alcohol or drugs
(which may not be working well for the individual). Knowing this about the people involved beforehand, we were taken back by the immediate overnight change of appearances. Unfortunately these individuals misinterpreted the results they were having and discontinued the regime. An emphasis upon a healthy diet void of the typical toxins must be highly emphasized. Very interested in your response.
Deborah
