The Glycine Miracle

The Science of Living Long and Free from Inflammation

For the past 17 years, the author, a PhD in life sciences, has studied the amino acid glycine and its effects on the human body. This research has made clear to him that due to the typical Western diet, virtually all Americans suffer from an insufficient level of glycine, and this has resulted in a misunderstanding by the medical community of the natural function of inflammation as a proper response to injury. Dr Brind has found that bodies in the glycine-deficient state typically develop inappropriate or excessive—and sometimes fatal—inflammation in response to a variety of physical or chemical stresses or injuries or infections, leading to chronic inflammation and ultimately resulting in disorders such as arthritis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. His research has made clear to him that in reality inflammation is only a natural function of the immune system as a first response to infection and that taking an adequate supplement of glycine daily can mitigate, and often eliminate, the inappropriate inflammation the body creates, which can result in a longer and healthier life.

the info, even anecdotal, is fascinating

I absolutely hate AI read books. so many of the terms are mispronounced and not even consistently.

The knowledge in this area is exceptional

A lot of knowledge, maybe too much for the average person to take in. I've been taking glycine and bumped up the dosage and seems to meet back in a big difference for me.
