Hi Owen. I wanted to find out your thoughts on whether the Linus Pauling protocol of Vitamin C & Lysine can be taken together with L-arginine at the same time? Or should one space them out like every 2 hrs.
Have you had many people report great success of using L-arginine vs l-lysine?
Thanks,
Todd
Sorry no or little experience combining Pauling's therapy with high arginine. Read the books, but the Pauling recommendation has to do with Lp(a), collagen and lysine's proline's relationship to Lp(a) and the structure of collagen. Arginine has other properties, and in theory adding arginine should be beneficial.
There is a reported arginine and lysine antagonism. Although I have heard scientists describe how one or the other makes DNA coil and uncoil, and thus has effects on viruses, etc. I really don't know much about this supposed antagonism. It is possible that if you are trying to use lysine to fight a virus, say cold sores, high arginine might block this particular action.
