Thread: Little known Yuschak publication: Amino Acid Blend gives "100% LDs"

/subscribed

I know that study well. Lots of interesting stuff this thread! It's a pitty that I don't have time to read them all, so later... I got some experience with those acids and more. I'm now in the Netherlands, sleeping like 3 hours a day and living in lucid dream, crazy country XD

I did the "Yuschak 3" AAB last night (at about 5 hrs), eventually got back to sleep and nothing: just a few fleeting fragments. I'm pretty much reaching the conclusion now that supplements can't help when your sleep is broken. I just need to get over my jet lag and get some normal unassisted recall back before trying again I think. But it was worth a try to see if it could help.

Also: my L-aspartic acid is in powder form, and the L-glutamine and L-theanine are in capsule form. Could this cause a timing difference in uptake since the capsules would have to be digested first? Should I open the capsules and go for 100% powder on all 3?

I would personally opt for powdered anyway. I prefer drinking a bit of water each night I take supplements as opposed to swallowing capsules. Just go for it, right? You can also decide to buy capsules and encapsulate the L-asparctic acid. But that's just hassle. haha

FryingMan, I have booked success with Yerba maté supplements. It is a fitness blend as well but this one is a mix of a little caffeine and a few different sugars. I concluded that perhaps nutrition in the form of calories is important for staying aware at night as well. It might help to eat an apple or a drink with honey for energy supplementation during WBTB. Otherwise, a banana is perfect because it has naturally slow sugars Tryptophan and B6 which could aid in nutrition for the entire night.

A common thing that happens when you wake up is that the body starts using amino acids for the waking up. That might be due to low Sugar content. Of course the are a zillion factors at play here in dreaming, recall and lucidity but Sugar is one thing that might be worth looking into.

I'm grateful for any advice, thanks for that! Now that you mention it, Nfri, who has great success with supplements, usually combines them with a breakfast WBTB, interesting!

The muscle builder I took that time at bed-time with success is full of carbs, etc, so maybe that was one of the reasons behind the "magic?"

@FryingMan, I've been trying to log on for a couple of days now so sorry for the late response on this, but BodyBuilding.com is the website that has UYM in 2lbs forms. I never even noticed my post was modded until you mentioned it, my bad.. I am buying some UYM soon as I'm eager to test the results. I'll update when I have already tried it.

That's too bad that the amino blend failed. You're probably right that your messed up sleep schedule has something to do with your recent lack of results, but it may also be that Yuschak's blend simply isn't that effective. Regarding capsules vs. powder, I think you should be fine with mixing both forms. Gelatin capsules dissolve so quickly that it probably doesn't make a difference.

I've gotten my hands on L-glutamine, Casein protein and Whey protein.

Method:Whey protein in the morning and Casein protein at night. The casein contains L-aspartic acids+Glutamine. And minimal carbs.
During WBTB I take another Glutamine+carbs.

Results: Loads of energy during the day. No fatigue. My dream recall is gradually improving. My sleep is restorative. I now remember 15 as opposed to 5 minutes that I did yesterday. Like i said, it is gradually improving.

Also, My dream content has been quite hectic. Slightly nightmarish but somehow very nourishing. Vividness has improved along with Lucidity. For example, I was able to do scientific reasoning in a dream. Yet I did not reason that I was perhaps in a dream when I was being attacked by tiny bed bugs. Needless to say I jumped the fak out of bed because I hallucinated slightly that these bed bugs where really there. I changed my sheets

So.. I also theorize that this MIGHT be due to Astronomic events ! But the protein has not been a disappointment at all. I am VERY happy with energy during the days. I think it automatically starts translating into nighttime adventures. I do note that I am young and do sports from time to time. I used higher doses of proteins because my muscles really needed the nutrition.

Going to buy B6 asap. I found out that my doses have been in the 5-10mg range. (which is considered 200% the daily recommended) ... Sageous and the gang say they take 100mg... Since my recall is disastrous this might help.

I finally got a chance to try Yuschak's amino blend with just L-glutamine, L-aspartic acid, and L-theanine. Unfortunately it wasn't a success. I woke up after 4 hours of sleep last night and mixed the aminos with a cup of apple juice then went back to bed performing MILD. No lucid dreams, and only one non-lucid dream that I can remember. I'll continue to experiment with the blend for a while but I'm not hopeful.

Those are very interesting results! What brand of casein and whey are you taking? I have whey but I'm really eager to buy some casein protein now.

Wasn't Yuschak the guy who did cyclic Acetylcholine supplementation? His brain must have already been pretty wired for lucid dreaming.
These 3 proteins afaik all promote neuronal growth and activity so perhaps this acetylcholine effect kind of potentiated these proteins. I don't have Galantamine but I would try it with that to see if it has an effect. I think this combo stacks.

Bodyfit Micellar Casein (perfection) I took the chocolate milkshake taste for added Cacao. Haha. I also hate the synthetic strawberry taste of my whey proteins. Blehh.

Btw, I just read that Serotonin system is shut off during dreaming. Do you happen to know if there is any truth to that?

With my single success with the muscle-builder blend last week, (and remaining hopeful for repeats), I think the magic may lie in the combination of all those myriad AAs, along with carbs (energy), and vitamins, etc. I've been thinking if my lack of vividness for a while now (other than short spurts of good dreaming) is due to some nutritional deficiency vs. when I started LD practice when I had long vivid dreams all night long regularly. I eat fairly well, but perhaps not well enough or in the required quantities to support vivid/lucid dreaming. Since I exercise regularly now, even fairly intensely (except now while traveling), I really may be running a deficit of critical substances. The muscle-builder blend is a kitchen-sink approach that may be overkill but I for one don't have the patience to try things one by one.

I think this combo stacks

(combo referenced = G&Ch + YAAs)

We need some abbreviations:

G&Ch: Galantamine + choline(s)
YAAB: Yuschak Amino Acid Blend (2g L-aspartic acid, 4g L-glutamine, 300mg L-theanine).

An interesting notion, and one that I'll add to the experimentation matrix! I'm going to also experiment with some REM suppression via melatonin (I have lots of this, it's cheap) and 5HTP (just picked up a bottle, more expensive than melatonin).

Any recommendations for easily-accessible sleep pattern mapping technology? I'm going to try the smart phone app that supposedly determines depth of sleep from bed movements (so it can wake you up in light sleep phase...isn't set for REM phase that would be fun to try)

For any one that is wondering the diffrence between L amino acid and D amino acid is huge ... It's called chirality think of your hands they are identical yet you can't put your left glove on your right hand same goes with acid the D acid can't work on a specific L acid site so make sure u get the right L vs D ..... ; ] }
