DMG: N,N-Dimethylglycine
June 14, 2007
I recently bought and read the book "Building Wellness with DMG". It is used in a wide variety of health related areas. The list includes:
- Cardiovascular problems
- Glucose metabolism
- Autoimmune disorders
- Allergies
- Chronic Fatigue
- Cancers/Tumors
- Liver disorders
- Alcoholism and drug addiction
- Respiratory problems
- Immune response deficiencies
- Neurological disorders
- Autism
- Sports practice
"Biochemically it occupies a central position in the cell's metabolic pathway, and so it can produce a wide range of biological effects on the body.""
- Provides useful building units for the biosynthesis of vitamins, hormones, neurotransmitters, antibodies, nucleic acids and other metabolically active molecules.
- Improves oxygen utilization to reduce hypoxic (low oxygen) states in the body.
- Improves the immune response by increasing resistance to disease and infection.
- Has antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-tumor properties and modulates inflammation
responses.
- Aids in cardiovascular functions by reducing elevated cholesterol, blood pressure, and
triglyceride levels and improving circulation.
- Possesses anti-cancer activity, while preventing metastasis (the spread of cancer).
- Enhances energy levels, endurance, and muscle metabolism
- Improves physical and mental performance.
- Improves neurological function and mental clarity.
- Improves verbal communication and social interactions in autistic individuals.
- Reduces seizures.
- Improves glucose metabolism (storage and utilization) and can retard cataract
development.
Consequently, it is used in the treatment of multiple conditions. Specifically:
- Aging
- AIDS
- Alcoholism
- Arteriosclerosis
- Arthritis
- Asthma
- Autism
- Breast Cancer
- Bronchitis
- Bruising
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Circulatory Problems
- Cirrhosis of the Liver
- Down Syndrome
- Emphysema
- Epilepsy
- Fibromyalgia Syndrome
- Gangrene
- Hair Loss
- Headache
- Heart Attack
- Hemorrhoids
- Hepatitis
- Herpes Virus Infection
- Impotence
- Infertility
- Leg Ulcers
- Memory Improvement
- Meningitis
- Migraine
- Mononucleosis
- Muscle Cramps
- Muscle Injuries, Sprains, Strains
- Parkinson's Disease
- Prostate Cancer
- Raynaud's Disease
- Schizophrenia
- Seborrhea
- Senility
- Skin Cancer
- Smoking Dependency
- Spider Bite
- Sunburn
- Varicose Veins
- Vertigo
- Weakened Immune System
That is one hell of a list. The reason it is so effective in the treatment of so many conditions is a process called "Transmethylation".
"Transmethylation is an enzyme-controlled reaction where a methyl group is given up by DMG in order to complete the synthesis of another molecule... Methylation is needed to build many molecules in the body. DMG supplies methyl groups for many important reactions that modify, build, recycle, activate, protect and change the structure and function of many components in the body."
"The methyl-donating ability of DMG enhances many important reactions used in the body to modify, detoxify, and turn on and off cellular processes."
As usual the proof is in the pudding as it were. But I am definitely going to be try this supplement. The dosage recommendations vary depending on what condition you are treating from 125mg to 2,500mg per day in divided doses. I'm not going to give the conditions and dosage list here so you'll have to buy the book and I won't be liable if you do something stupid. More on the effects later in a month or two.
You can buy the book at Amazon.ca:
