Abstract
A method of treating menstrual pain in a person in need of such treatment is disclosed, which comprises enhancing the effectiveness of the person's immune system by the administration to such person at least one aliphatic sulfur compound of the formula (I) in which A is hydrogen or a carboxymethylene —CH2CO2H group, B is hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and X is hydrogen, or an acyl group —CO—R in which R is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of such compound.
Claims23
A method of treating menstrual pain in a female person in need of such treatment, which comprises the oral administration to such person, of mega-nutrient doses of 2 to 20 grams up to eight times daily of at least one sulfur-containing amino-acid derivative having the formula (I)
- in which A is hydrogen or a carboxymethylene -CH2CO2H group, B is hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and X is hydrogen, or an acyl group —CO—R in which R is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of such compound, provided that A, B and X are not simultaneously hydrogen, and provided further that the total dose is at least 10 grams daily and not in excess of 160 grams daily.
A method of treating menstrual pain in a female person in need of such treatment, which comprises enhancing the effectiveness of the person's immune system by the oral administration to such person of mega-nutrient doses of 2 to 20 grams up to eight times daily of at least one sulfur-containing amino-acid derivative having the formula (I)
- in which A is hydrogen or a carboxymethylene -CH2CO2H group, B is hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and X is hydrogen, or an aryl group —CO—R in which R is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of such compound, provided that A, B and X are not simultaneously hydrogen, and provided fiber that the total dose is at least 10 grams daily and not in excess of 160 grams daily.
