L-lysine might be useful in a number of medical / health issues it seems - herpes is just one of many. Read up here to learn more:
Iāve taken 3000-5,000 mg of Lysine every day for mouth sores for the last 5 years. My mental health has deteriorated over that time (although the mouth sores have become only episodic rather than chronic), not improved.

Iām taking Pregnenolone since 3 weeks, but on and off. It does WONDERS. I havenāt felt this healthy since like ever. I feel like the time when I was 4 yo. I suppose it takes about 4 days for the anti-psychotic effect to kick in. I take 100mg/day
It makes me a bit hyper, but Iām very coherent and goal oriented. Today I even thought of going back to work, what was out of question for me for a long time.
The other thing that totally punched me in the face is that reality looks REAL again. I had bad derealization because of my schizophrenia (or whatever) but thatās completely gone! my focus is also much better. I can actually listen to people.
The other thing is that I can turn off my mind on it. Like not thinking AT ALL (nill, zero,nada!) for 20 seconds in a row.
Iām generally 100x smarter and more wakeful.

This stuff cause regrow of completely new neurons! not dandrits, BUT ACTUAL NEW NEURONS!!!
The only problem is that I have too much energy but that is actually no problem because now I can do stuff with my energy. Maybe it has nothing to do with Preg. and Iām just energetic by nature though.

Thank you for sharing this information.
Im actually interested in this L-Lysine. I do believe great strides can be made with these. I used to try high doses of niacin in the past, but I cant remember what exactly for.
Hi Karl,
You might want to try L-Lysine ( 6 grams / day) for a 4 weeks to see if it works for you. If you do try it - let us know if it seems good or unhelpful.
Thank!
Interesting thread. Iāve also read encouraging things about Magnesium Taurate (specifically the highly absorbed Taurate form, not the more common forms of Magnesium like oxide which is not easily absorbed by the body) ā¦ it would be interesting for people to post any good/bad results with that as well.
Hi - I checked to see if there was any research on use of Magnesium Taurate for schizophrenia - and there is absolutely no research in this area. So its probably not going to help you at all. Weāre trying to get peopleās feedback here on things that have some research backing that they might be effective for people.
You can check yourself here:
The site that you want to go to to see if there is any research is this one:

Thanks. I did see this http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2077436 but isnāt a very big study. I just know that Magnesium plays a major role in a lot of things ā¦ and because its filtered out of our water supply and humans donāt eat the organ meats the our ancestors did ā¦ almost everyone is deficient in it these days. Iāve also found its an amazing laxative / stool softener. Also saw this: http://universitypublishingonline.org/adelaide/chapter.jsf?bid=CBO9780987073051&cid=CBO9780987073051A032

L lysine didnāt help me, nothing gets rid of my voices reallyā¦they give me medicine to change me-not the voices.
How are you supposed to take the l-lysine. At the moment I am just mixing it with water but it tastes horrible.
Perhaps try mixing it with juice - or soda drink.
Anyone else have ideas?
Have ordered some empty gelatine capsules and a special kit for filling them with the powder. Each capsule holds 1 gram so I was planning on taking 3 in the morning and 3 at night. Will let you know how it goes.
So been on this for about 4 days. Had pretty loose bowel motions for a couple of days but that has settled down now. Too early to say if there has been a response to this treatment. Think will take stock after 28 days.

Hey just now able to check back in with this study. My doctor said the levels of L-Lysine in my system were too high when taking the study recommended amount, so I cut back. I have not noticed a difference in myself and others with me report no change. Iām still taking it, (because I already bought it), and have been doing so for about 3 months now.
Thanks for reporting back. Let us know if anything changes in the coming weeks.
Hello this is my second week of 6 grams. I actually feel a difference, less voices, it is actually helping so far! thanks!
