Does anyone have any information on taurine??? I heard that it can help with water retention and boost energy, I have thought of trying it but would like some input! Thanks!

Lissette..

Dr Atkins used Taurine extensively as the substance of choice in getting people off their prescription diuretics...several grams at a time. He mentioned it quite frequently in Atkins Vita-Nutrient Solution. He also mentions several other nutrients to help eliminate fluids (and possibly gain more energy as a result). You might find a copy and check out the alternative therapies he used for many different problems.

I was on HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide), a prescription diuretic, for a number of years until, with the help of Atkins' suggestions, I was able to wean myself off, using taurine....B6...and a number of herbs in tablet form. I had to work up to three grams (3,000 mg) taurine.....100 mg P-5-P (bioactive B6).......but it was worth it.
