Ah. Yes, that was interesting, though after reading BROJON for many months, I came to have nagging doubts about the author, who seems to be an authority on anything and everything, and, in his own mind, consistently finds brilliant insights and solutions where everyone else has failed. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to follow up on very much.

The sited article, if it is true, could win someone a Nobel Prize in medicine. Suppose it's true that half of all Americans have sub-clinical trichinosis from factory-farmed pork, as the essay claimed? Verification of that would change a great many things in the USA, that's for sure. But where's the evidence and the follow up? Big claims require big evidence.

Unfortunately, I've never heard anything more about it. That doesn't mean it isn't true, but it it raises a few red flags.

Anyway, at least tryptophan is back on the market, and Marshall Smith's essay is definitely still worth a read, especially if tryptophan could serve as a safe prozac substitute. The stories about prozac side-effects are hair-raising.

Thanks for reminding us about that article. I no longer subscribe to BROJON -- I got fed up with it -- but I'd be deeply impressed if it turns out he's right about trichinosis.

BTW -- I read just today that scientists are speculating that abnormal prions may NOT be the cause of BSE or CJD, the human version. Check New Scientist. If not, EIS could turn out to be of some use to sufferers, or as prophylaxis.

BROJON, although being rather uneven in my opinion,
has a great piece
