9th Circuit Reverses Exclusion of Testimony Linking L-Tryptophan and Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome

A Ninth Circuit panel has issued a memorandum decision reversing the trial court's exclusion of testimony from a physician that L-tryptophan caused a plaintiff's eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome. See Meyer v. General Nutrition Center, No. 03-56883 (9th Cir. June 15, 2005) (Trott, W. Fletcher, & Restani, JJ.) (unpublished).

Halleluah!!!! So Many of us with EMS have had our lives torn apart by SD and then the Courts and lawyers do it again. It's about time someone wins.

I for one am glad that the Higher Court overruled that decision by the Lower Court. Obviously the Lower Court Judge was in my opinion an idiot. I would love to see him walk in my shoes for 5 minutes and then re-think his stupid decision.

I am doing a science project on the subject of the effects of L-Tryptophan on humans. I was wondering if you could post more news on L-Tryptophan related issues. Thanks!

There been a big change in science, with a new medical report warning that tryptophan combines badly with other factors, like prozac for instance. The basic message is that tryptophan, not impurities is the trigger for EMS:
