Best way to get amino acids

Ok, so I am 19 days clean now and I tried part of Thomas recipe to go CT... One of things I read on the boards was that we need to eat vegetables and fruits that contain high amino acids and so I tried to find things that can help me since I do not eat fish which is also supposed to be high in amino acids.

In any event.. I discovered something that I wanted to share with everyone because it may help others as well.  My husband got me 100% aloe vera juice from Walmart Pharmacy aisle..  This thing does not have much of a taste so I did not put anything in it such sugar etc.. I think you can mix it with other juice but I did not.. Anyway, I noticed couple of things:

1.  As soon as I drink some, it cools my stomach down and it helps with the pain.  Which makes sense because Aloe is supposed to have healing properties.

2.  It helps with the W/D as well and so instead of drinking a lot of NyQuil etc and getting addicted on it, I was able to use this in little cups and made things better.  When I was having severe stomach pains, I started taking this and found it to help and those came down a lot.

Anyway, I posted earlier about my skin glowing etc and I wonder that if it is due to higher amino acids in our body is why our skin/hair etc looks better...  This could explain boat loads of compliments I have gotten in the last few days..

So.. try it.. it worked for me and it may work for you.  Thanks.

When my Grandpa had cancer several years ago, he heard about aloe vera, he swore that is what put him in remission. I however, did not think of it when I was going thru my worst times. It cant do any harm, thats for sure. Great Post, will have to get some. Thanks..... I hope you are doing good. God Bless

mentalmary... Yes.. exactly.. mine was the same.. so this helped a lot.. tell us how it works for you... hope it works as welll..

Dominosarah... yes.. agreed.. that's why it makes sense...  and it worked for me..

Tramahater... yeah.. I love my hubby.. he is trying to find ways to make things better.. and this was an awesome find.. it was funny.. he got it and I tried a little first time and didn't like the smell so didn't drink it.. for 3 days he kept asking me to just try it.. just once.. and I did.. and the minute I gulped down a small little cup (similar to what we drink NyQuil in).. I felt an instant relief.. so.. I drink this 1-3 times a day.. it helps me..

Hope it helps everyone.
