cool. damn .. i had no idea it would take so long for this research and tests to go through ... alda-1 seems so good too. are you positive it will take at least a couple of years ?
thanks for the convivia, i'll check it out
Has anyone heard of this aside from me ? I'm hoping someone else can verify in case I missed something or I dont know what I'm talking about ..
Hello echeng,
My name is Kenneth Chui and I'm 18 years old college student. Recently, I've made strenous research on the conditions of the asian flush activity. Finally, I think we can hope and pray for the light. There is the answer, and it happened only recently... so this product hasn't been on the market quite yet.
For those who are familiar with medical sciences, they would know there is a molecule in the human body called Alda-1. Recently, california's stanford (university) study has tested isolating this Alda-1 molecule in rats and found that this molecule COMPLETELY restores activity of the mutant ALDH2 whether it is heterozygous (harsh symptons) to full activity and in homozygous (mild) up to 10-folds the activity. This is a new breakthrough that I would like to share with this community. I have been on this site for quite a while and made little contributions. I hope this finding will help us all and finally get rid of the uncomfortable asian flush reactions. Some korean guy insisted doing this experiment, thank g-d for him ! they're doing further testing now. and hopefully soon it will attract the pharmacy markets into human trials, where thereafter it could be introduced to the public ...

THIS IS BIG . ECHENG, please make a topic on this, and also if possible, give me credit =)
Thank you .
Alright, I'm 17 years olds, male, asian, about 5'8 145ish lbs. Yes I know I'm not supposed to drink. Anyways, a couple of days ago I went to a K-bar (karoake) with some friends. This was my first time drinking so much. in the past, I drank maybe 2-3 gulps of budweiser and my face starts to burn. Anyways, back on topic, so we were playing dice games and I kept losing, so I had a couple of shots of Red Wine mixed with a little bit of smirnoff (maybe 6 shots?). I also drank one entire bottle of corona and another smirnoff. I was feeling the intense heat all over my face. I was sweating like a bitch, then started to turn all red all over my body. It wasnt itchy at first. Later, i felt drunk knowing it was my first time. and threw up maybe twice. I had the shittiest headache and i wasn't able to sleep. I also felt cold, chilly or w/e, and I took a tylenol to help ease the pain. When I woke up, my WHOLE body was itching, there were spots(red and white) all over my body and I started to get scared because I thought it could be an allergic reaction to the alcohol. upon reading the posts in this forum (which was very helpful), I realized that I'm a victim of the asian flush :[ . I havent tried Pepcid AC or anything yet, but I'll really like to drink in the future. So I have a coupla questions, and please answer ! :
1. Is it possible to build a tolerance to the alcohol? Can your body get used to the alcohol?
2. Does the damn itchiness ever stop? it's been 48 hours ...
3. is it possible that to become sort of immune to the symptoms without taking the pepcid?
and for those who has the itchiness/hives problem, if you consistently drink or TRAIN your body to the alcohol, will the hives problem go away? what about the alcohol tolerance? will drinking daily or weekly help you take in more alcohol?
thanks in advance guys!
