Ray,You're saying that my favorite "food" of all time could be the very thing that saves me????
It reminds me of that Woody Allen movie where he wakes up a long time into the future and he is told that sugar (ice cream sundaes, cakes etc.) are the true health foods.
Anyway, I LOVE CHOCOLATE! I guess I could say that I do well on it. I crave it unbelievably. I've guessed that I was low in PEA because of that and also because I read that it is implicated in "rejection sensitivity." I am extremely sensitive to rejection. Because of this I thought that I would do well on the combination of selegilne and DLPA or l-phenylaline. However, the selegiline made me sleepy and then about 8 hours later made me stimulated (definitely some malfuncion there). I can't remember if I tried combining it with DLPA or l-phenylalanine yet. I do remember that I took some chocolate with it and I got really shakey from too much PEA. At any rate, because of the strange reaction to the selegiline, I gave up on it. Now I'm thinking that if the PEA might decrease the amount of D1-like dopamine (DA) receptors, then it might be worth trying again. I wonder if it's only the D1 receptors that are involved. Those are the Parkinson's related receptors, no?
