Should you Replace your Daily Aspirin with Arginine?
On the advice of their physicians, millions of Americans, encouraged by massive
advertising and the apparent government stamp of approval, are taking an aspirin
a day to keep a heart attack away. Is this the best advice orthodox medicine
has to offer? An explosion of recent research, stemming from the 1998 Nobel
prize in medicine, now strongly supports the idea that there are better; safer
and more effective alternatives to aspirin for preventing heart attacks and
The recent research into Nitric Oxide (NO), a short-lived free radical that
the human body can create out of arginine, an essential amino acid, lead not
only to the prescription impotence drug Viagra®, but also to the finding
that arginine, like aspirin and many other substances, can act as a very potent
blood anticoagulant. Thus arginine, like aspirin and other substances, may
prevent Myocardial Infarction (MI) AKA heart attack.
Arginine vs. Aspirin
L-Arginine, an amino acid, is possibley essential to our diet and required
for life, has as yet no known toxicity. Arginine has been shown to stimulate
the body's production of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) by the pituitary gland,
probably by blocking the secretion of HGH inhibitor somatostatin. It increases
the body's ability to produce Nitric Oxide when needed, and restores sexual
function in impotent men. Studies have shown that oral arginine boosts immunity,
fights cancer, promotes healing, protects and detoxifies the liver, improves
thymus function, enhances male fertility and is the precursor of the non-essential
amino acid ornithine.
Aspirin on the other hand is not always safe and there are no studies that
show taking plain aspirin extends life. Linus Pauling pointed out in 1986 that "Aspirin,
like other salicylates, has the property that in concentrated solution can
attack and dissolve tissues. An aspirin in the stomach may attach to the stomach
wall and cause a bleeding ulcer."  A recent report from the Boston
University school of Medicine confirms that aspirin can irritate the stomach
lining, sometimes causing severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding and, in rare
instances, death. [3,4].
The Aspirin Trials
Given the potentially serious health concerns surrounding aspirin, why is this
substance being heralded as a miracle drug in the fight against heart disease
and worthy of the U. S. Government's stamp of approval? One reason is that
aspirin is readily available over-the-counter; another reason is that one of
aspirin's many properties is the inhibition of platelet clumping. Less clumping
might mean fewer blood clots resulting in fewer heart attacks. Medical correspondent
Wayne Martin writing in the Townsend Letter explains the Platelet Adhesiveness
Index (PAI) test:
At the National Heart Hospital in London circa 1970, they were using a test
for platelet adhesion and the results were stated as PAI, platelet Adhesiveness
index. In this test a blood sample was taken and a platelet count was made.
Then a second blood sample was taken and this time the blood was passed over
glass beads. If half the platelets stuck to the beads, PAI was 50. Patients
who had survived a heart attack would have PAI of 50 and hence were considered
to be at risk of death from a second heart attack. Young women who never suffer
from Myocardial Infarction (MI) have PAI of 20 yet they will have proper blood
clots in wounds.
At the National Heart Hospital, in the years 1960 to 1965, they did a PAI test
on every patient to come to this hospital and they never found a single patient
with PAI less than 40. They felt anyone with a PAI of less than 40 was not
going to have a heart attack. Put another way, they felt that the great problem
about MI was one of blood clots in coronary arteries.
The idea of testing for PAI never came to the USA.
Because aspirin will reduce blood clotting, clinical trials were launched to
find out whether aspirin may benefit heart patients. These trials have mixed
results, none showing longer life; but two recent studies concluded that aspirin
is a "life saver" because it cut down the number of non-fatal heart
attacks, especially second heart attacks in the aspirin group.
Wayne Martin's interpretation of these trials:
In 1980 cardiologists resurrected platelets and blood clots as a cause of Myocardial
Infarction (MI) deaths - and told everyone over 40 to take aspirin to prevent
having a heart attack. One factor in the prevention of MI is the Adhesiveness
of platelets as the greater the adhesion of platelets the greater the chance
of having a coronary blood clot.
Then came a series of trials on aspirin for the prevention of MI. There were
in the 1970s two trials in England that were failures. No benefit or very slight
benefit was found for aspirin in the prevention of MI. This was followed by
a much larger US government-financed trial in the USA and reported in 1980.
This trial was an abject failure with much bleeding of the stomach due to aspirin
and no benefit at all in the prevention of MI.
Doctors felt that the case could be made for aspirin if only doctors were the
subjects. A trial in England among doctors was again a failure, however a larger
trial among doctors in the USA was hailed as a great success. In this American
trial, non-fatal heart attacks were reduced by 40%. The bad news however, was
that fatal heart attacks were not reduced and moreover overall survival was
not increased. Nonetheless as the result of this trial, it was suggested or
even demanded that all men over 40 should be taking aspirin.
There was something a bit different about this trial among doctors in the USA.
Bufferin was used and Bufferin contains both aspirin and some magnesium. Magnesium
is greatly beneficial to the heart. It reduces platelet adhesion, is a vasodilator
and is a potent antiarrhythmic agent.
The authors of The Arginine Solution, Robert Fried, Ph.D. and Woodson Merrell,
MD, summarize the aspirin research this way:
The results of the physician study, which were published in 1997 in The New
England Journal of Medicine, concluded that a daily aspirin does indeed have
a significant impact on heart health, lowering the risk of heart disease and
heart attacks. Other researchers have also shown that aspirin can slash the
risk of a second heart attack in patients who have already suffered a first
heart attack. And because unchecked platelet clumping has also been implicated
as one cause for chronic high blood pressure, aspirin and other anticoagulants
may help in the treatment of hypertension as well.
Unfortunately, many of these anticoagulant drugs, aspirin included, can have
pernicious side effects for many patients, side effects that can range from
serious stomach bleeding to kidney damage. Indeed, further analysis of the
same landmark physician study itself found that those doctors in a control
group who received a placebo instead of aspirin had the same overall incidence
of death as those who received the aspirin.
Surprisingly, Fried and Merrell question the validity of the claim that aspirin
takers enjoy such a comparative reduction of heart disease and heart attacks:
Well it turns out that physicians on aspirin increased their odds of another,
often fatal condition: hemorrhagic stroke, that is, unchecked bleeding into
the brain. This kind of stroke is a prime example of where you need some protective
blood clotting, but the anticoagulants have turned of the capacity to do so".
There Are Many Alternatives to Aspirin
Although aspirin apparently reduces the incidence of blood clots that lead
to heart attack, much safer substances are known that work equally well or
There are all kinds of things other than aspirin that reduce PAI, one of which
is the drug dipyridamole. Here mention will be made of the European Stroke
Prevention Study. About 90% of strokes are thrombotic strokes, blood clots
in blood vessels in the brain. This trial had as subjects patients who had
had an indication of a stroke. First aspirin alone was used with little or
no benefit. Then dipyridamole was added to treatment, 300 mg a day and the
results were outstanding. Stroke deaths were reduced by 50%, heart attack deaths
by 35% and cancer deaths by 25%.
There are many things that reduce PAI better than aspirin. Vitamin E at 400
iu a day will, as will Vitamin B6 at over 40 mg day. There was an editorial
in The Lancet a few years ago on how anti-thrombic is vitamin B6 at over 40
Mg. So is fish oil. This is the omega-3 fatty acid that we have been hearing
so much about of late. Then recently, from the University of Wisconsin, comes
a report that purple grape juice at 10 oz. a day will reduce PAI better than
aspirin. It has been suggested that gamma linolenic acid in evening primrose
oil will reduce PAI better than anything else. Also the oils of onion and garlic
will reduce PAI. Ground ginger also is greatly effective in reducing PAI and
like aspirin, it will reduce pain. It is highly anti-inflammatory. It is a
sad state of affairs that doctors in the USA have gotten most men over 40 taking
aspirin while not setting up a test to see if it is in fact reducing PAI.
Arginine Derived NO Mediates Platelet Adhesiveness
One of the great discoveries stemming from the recent NO research is that the
amino acid arginine may share an ability to prevent blood clots with aspirin,
without any known risks. Scientists now think that NO derived from arginine
regulates whether or not blood platelets clump together. If platelets were
always clumping, The entire circulatory system would grind to a sludgy halt.
Whenever a blood vessel suffers an injury, platelets clump together blocking
blood from seeping out of the artery until the damage can be repaired. Clumps
or clots that block coronary arteries can cause a heart attack. Something has
to trigger clumping when it's called for, while inhibiting it when there is
no need. It turns out that a number of blood-borne chemicals are released when
an injury occurs that can alter electrical charges, and these chemicals determine
whether or not platelets will repel or attract. According to Fried and Merrill,
nature's elegant solution for regulating whether platelet's clump relies on
the free radical Nitric Oxide (NO) made available in the body from arginine.
The good news is that researchers have found another "blood thinning" approach
that is equally effective in controlling platelet aggregation, but without
the side-effects of conventional anticoagulants from aspirin to leech saliva.
This discovery came after Drs. M. W. Radomski, R. M. J. Palmer and Salvador
Monacada learned that platelets themselves contain their own form of the enzyme
nitric oxide synthase, which lets them create NO from arginine.
Researchers now say that supplemental arginine can also help the hypertensive
patient's remaining undamaged endothelial cells produce additional NO to keep
arteries open and to prevent platelets from clumping and sticking to vessel
walls. In 1994, researchers at the Hanover Medical School in Germany reported
that intravenous arginine resulted in a 33 percent decrease in platelet aggregation
- very impressive results. Moreover, the researchers concluded that arginine
inhibits platelet aggregation specifically "by enhancing nitric oxide
In Theory, Aspirin may Aggravate Atherosclerosis
According to the Linus Pauling/Matthias Rath Unified Theory of cardiovascular
disease, the primary cause of heart disease is a vitamin C deficiency. This
deficiency leads to an inability to manufacture sufficient collagen, which
causes blood vessel weakness and instability. Collagen is a basic animal protein
that provides structural integrity analogous to the function of cellulose in
plants. Blood vessel instability from a lack of collagen leads to lesions or
wounds in the arterial wall, especially where blood pressure is high and mechanical
stresses are great. Plaque forms as a healing response to these wounds.
It has long been known that taking aspirin increases one's requirement for
vitamin C. Vitamin C molecules are used up detoxifying the body, so taking
aspirin may lead to lower blood and tissue levels of vitamin C. According to
Irwin Stone in 1976:
Certain drugs, such as aspirin, cortisone, and other anti-inflammatory agents,
and cinchophen, are known to provoke ulcers and gastric hemorrhage. This is
especially the case when a deficiency of ascorbic acid [vitamin C] is present.
In animal experiments, the administration of ascorbic acid along with the toxic
drug reduced the incidence of peptic ulcer and gastric hemorrhage to such an
extent that it prompted one author (Aron) to suggest, "Therefore it would
seem judicious in human therapeutics to include ascorbic acid in every prescription
for an anti-inflammatory drug".
Aspirin's ability to dissolve human tissues would seem to make this substance
contraindicated in atherosclerotic patients. If Pauling and Rath are correct
and the lack of vitamin C causes heart disease, and if aspirin can cause blood
vessel lesions, and finally, if the body uses its vitamin C stores to "fight" the
toxic effects of aspirin, then taking aspirin may be the last thing a heart
patient should do.
Arginine May be the Best Alternative
Most authorities now accept the proposition that heart attack is not generally
a problem of arterial occlusion; rather MI is a problem of blockage. The problem
with occlusion is that blockages are more likely in arteries narrowed by atherosclerosis.
When platelet adhesiveness increases, the risk of heart attack rises. Nitric
Oxide causes arteries to dilate and blood pressure to drop. Interestingly,
the research shows that atherosclerosis interferes with the ability of endothelial
cells to make NO, so clotting is more likely when atherosclerotic plaque is
present. If a blood clot is the reason for the blockage, thinning the blood
with an anti-coagulating agent may be of significant value. The discovery that
NO derived from arginine regulates blood coagulation at the platelet level
is important. Arginine has been shown to have the same anti-clotting ability
as aspirin, but not continuously, only when needed, i.e., when chemicals associated
with injury are released into the blood stream. Aspirin's health risk is that
this substance may unconditionally prevent blood coagulation, even when clotting
is called for, e.g., to prevent a stroke. Furthermore, aspirin's known characteristic
of dissolving tissue may not be limited to the stomach. If aspirin causes arterial
lesions, then it would be a contributing factor in atherosclerosis.
The Final Word from Linus Pauling
While rethinking your daily aspirin, please consider these remarks made by
the late chemist and medical researcher Linus Pauling writing in HOW TO LIVE
LONGER AND FEEL BETTER:
It is drugs, especially the analgesics and antipyretics such as aspirin, that
are responsible for most of the five thousand deaths by poisoning that occur
each year in the United States. Of that mournful total about twenty-five hundred
are children. About four hundred of these children die each year of poisoning
by aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and some other salicylate. Aspirin and similar
drugs are sold openly, without prescription. They are considered to be exceptionally
safe substances. The fatal dose is 0.4 to 0.5 gm per kilogram body weight:
that is 5 to 10 gm for a child, 20 to 30 g for an adult."
Aspirin has been in use as a nonprescription drug, sold casually over the counter,
for more than a century before the physiological basis of its pain killing
and fever-reducing action was discovered in 1971. Then it was found that aspirin
acts upon a central hormonal control system in the body. If it were now coming
on to the market from a pharmaceutical laboratory, it would be surely placed
under the constraint of prescription.
Some people show a severe sensitivity to aspirin, such that a decrease in circulation
of the blood and difficulty in breathing follow the ingestion of 0.3 g to 1
g (one to three tablets.)
The symptoms of mild aspirin poisoning are burning pain in the mouth, throat
and abdomen. Difficult in breathing, lethargy, vomiting, ringing in the ears,
and dizziness. More severe poisoning leads to delirium, fever, sweating, incoordination,
coma, convulsions, cyanosis (blueness of the skin), failure of kidney function,
respiratory failure, and death.
Aspirin, like other salicylates, has the property than in concentrated solution
it can attack and dissolve tissues. An aspirin in the stomach may attach the
stomach wall and cause the development of a bleeding ulcer.
The U. S. Centers for Disease Control have reported that if children and teenagers
suffering from influenza or chicken pox are given aspirin they have a fifteen
to twenty-five times greater chance of developing Reye's syndrome, an acute
encelphalopathy and fatty degeneration of the viscera, causing death in about
40 percent of the patients."
Should you decide, in consultation with your physician, to replace your daily
aspirin with 3-6 grams of oral arginine, you may notice some other interesting
effects as well. One effect in particular may negate the need for men to spend
upwards of $10 on a Viagra pill.

back to top Background
L-arginine was first isolated in 1886. In 1932, scientists learned that
L-arginine is needed to create urea, a waste product that is necessary
for toxic ammonia to be removed from the body. In 1939, researchers discovered
that L-arginine is also needed to make creatine. Creatine breaks down into
creatinine at a constant rate, and it is cleared from the body by the kidneys.
Arginine is considered a semi-essential amino acid because even though
the body normally makes enough of it, supplementation is sometimes needed.
For example, people with protein malnutrition, excessive ammonia production,
excessive lysine intake, burns, infections, peritoneal dialysis, rapid
growth, urea synthesis disorders, or sepsis may not have enough arginine.
Symptoms of arginine deficiency include poor wound healing, hair loss,
skin rash, constipation, and fatty liver.
Arginine changes into nitric oxide, which causes blood vessel relaxation
(vasodilation). Early evidence suggests that arginine may help treat medical
conditions that improve with vasodilation, such as chest pain, clogged
arteries (called atherosclerosis), coronary artery disease, erectile dysfunction,
heart failure, intermittent claudication/peripheral vascular disease, and
blood vessel swelling that causes headaches (vascular headaches). Arginine
also triggers the body to make protein and has been studied for wound healing,
bodybuilding, enhancement of sperm production (spermatogenesis), and prevention
of wasting in people with critical illnesses.
Arginine hydrochloride has a high chloride content and has been used to
treat metabolic alkalosis. This use should be under the supervision of
a qualified healthcare professional.
In general, most people do not need to take arginine supplements because
the body usually produces enough.

Note : Arginine vasopressin is different from arginine/L-arginine, with
an entirely different mechanism. NG-monomethyl-L-arginine is different
from arginine/L-arginine, and functions as an inhibitor of nitric oxide
back to top Evidence
These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness
have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially
serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Uses based on scientific evidence Grade*
Growth hormone reserve test / pituitary disorder diagnosis
Arginine can be injected to measure growth hormone levels in people who
might have growth hormone deficiencies, such as panhypopituitarism, gigantism,
acromegaly, or pituitary adenoma. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has approved this use. A
Inborn errors of urea synthesis
In patients with inborn errors of urea synthesis, high ammonia levels in
the blood and metabolic alkalosis may occur, particularly among patients
with ornithine carbamoyl transferase (OCT) deficiencies or carbamoyl phosphate
synthetase (CPS) deficiencies. Arginine may help treatment by shifting
the way the body processes nitrogen. Arginine should be avoided in patients
with hyperargininemia (high arginine levels). Other drugs, such as citrulline,
sodium benzoate, or sodium phenylbutyrate, may have similar benefits. However,
dialysis may be needed at first. This use of arginine should be supervised
by a qualified healthcare professional. A
Coronary artery disease / angina
Early evidence from several studies suggests that arginine taken by mouth
or by injection may improve exercise tolerance and blood flow in arteries
of the heart. Benefits have been shown in some patients with coronary artery
disease and chest pain (called angina). However, more research is needed
to confirm these findings and to develop safe and effective doses. B
Some studies suggest that arginine may be beneficial for people with critical
or life-threatening illnesses when it is added to nutritional supplements.
However, it is unclear what the specific role of arginine is in recovery.
Because of the potential for harm, large doses of arginine should be avoided.
Studies of arginine in patients with chronic heart failure have shown mixed
results. Some studies report improved exercise tolerance. Additional studies
are needed to confirm these findings. B
Early studies suggest that adding arginine to ibuprofen (e.g., Motrin?
or Advil?) therapy may decrease migraine headache pain. B
Peripheral vascular disease / claudication
Intermittent claudication causes leg pain and tiredness because cholesterol
plaques or clots develop in leg arteries and block blood flow. A small
number of studies report that arginine therapy may improve walking distance
in patients with claudication. Further research is needed. B
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder that
is characterized by the loss of fatty coverings (myelin sheaths) on nerve
fibers in the brain and progressive destruction of the adrenal glands.
This condition results in dementia and adrenal failure. Injections of arginine
may help manage this disorder, although most study results are inconclusive.
Further research is needed to evaluate the use of arginine in ALD. C
Early studies suggest that arginine may help treat chronic anal fissures,
which are small tears that develop in the anus. Additional studies are
Arginine has been studied in autonomic failure, a condition that may include
low blood pressure, but the effect is unclear. Well-designed studies will
help clarify this relationship. C
It is unclear if arginine can help treat breast cancer patients. Results
from early human studies are mixed. High-quality studies are needed. C
Arginine may improve immune function and protein function in burn patients.
Further research is needed before a conclusion can be drawn. C
Early human studies suggest that arginine supplements may be beneficial
for patients undergoing chemotherapy. Larger, high-quality studies are
Chest pain (non-cardiac)
Small studies in humans suggest that arginine taken by mouth (not injected)
may improve non-cardiac chest pain associated with esophageal motor disorders.
Large, well-designed studies are needed. C
Circulation problems (critical limb ischemia)
Early human studies suggest that intravenous arginine may increase blood
flow in patients with critical limb ischemia. This condition occurs when
blood flow to the arms and/or legs is blocked. Large, well-designed trials
are needed. C
Dental pain (ibuprofen arginate)
Some research suggests that ibuprofen-arginate (Spedifen?) may reduce pain
after dental surgery faster or more effectively than ibuprofen (e.g., Motrin?
or Advil?) alone. More research is needed in this area. C
Diabetes (Type 1/Type 2)
Early studies in humans suggest that arginine supplements may decrease
the severity of diabetes. Large, well-designed studies are needed to understand
this relationship. C
Early studies in humans suggest that arginine supplements may help the
body fight some long-term complications of diabetes, including heart disease
and nerve damage. Well-designed studies are needed. C
Early studies have shown that arginine supplements may help treat erectile
dysfunction (ED) in men with low nitrate levels in their blood or urine.
A combination of L-arginine, glutamate, and yohimbine hydrochloride has
been used to treat ED. However, because a combination product was used,
and yohimbine hydrochloride is an FDA-approved therapy for this condition,
the effects of arginine alone are unknown. More research is needed with
arginine alone. C
Gastrointestinal cancer surgery
A combination of arginine and omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the length
of hospital stays and infections after surgery in gastrointestinal cancer
patients. Other research suggests that arginine, omega-3 fatty acids, and
glutamine may boost the immune system and reduce inflammation after surgery.
More research with arginine alone is needed. C
Heart protection during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
Arginine-supplemented "blood cardioplegic solution" may help
protect the heart. Further research is needed before a firm conclusion
can be drawn. C
High blood pressure
Early study in humans suggests that arginine taken by mouth may help widen
the arteries and temporarily reduce blood pressure in patients with high
blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Larger, high-quality studies are needed
before a recommendation can be made. C
Some research suggests that arginine may help treat or prevent high cholesterol.
More research is needed. C
Early study results suggest that arginine supplementation may boost the
immune response elicited by the pneumonia vaccine in older people. More
studies are needed to confirm these results. C
Intrauterine growth retardation
Early studies in pregnant mothers suggest that arginine supplements may
improve growth in fetuses that are smaller than average. Additional studies
are needed. C
Kidney disease or failure
Study results are mixed as to whether arginine as a therapy by itself directly
helps certain kidney diseases or failure. Arginine may be a helpful adjunct
for kidney disease related conditions such as anemia in the elderly. Additional
research is needed in this area. C
Early studies have found that long-term supplementation with L-arginine
significantly improved endothelial function in patients with MELAS syndrome
(mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke).
Further research is merited in this area. C
Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
Study results of arginine supplementation after myocardial infarction (heart
attack) are mixed. Further research is needed before a recommendation can
be made. A cardiologist and pharmacist should be consulted before arginine
supplements are taken. C
Pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure in pregnancy)
Early study suggests that long-term supplementation with L-arginine may
decrease blood pressure that is too high in pregnant women. Arginine may
also improve fetal health and growth during pre-eclampsia . Further research
is needed to confirm these results. C
Studies of arginine for pressure ulcers show mixed results. Further research
is needed before a conclusion can be drawn. C
Prevention of restenosis after coronary angioplasty (PTCA)
Arginine has been injected in patients who had stents surgically inserted
into arteries in order to widen them. Early research suggests that this
therapy may help prevent the arteries from becoming narrow again (called
restenosis). Additional studies are needed. C
Early study in humans has looked at the effect of arginine on blood vessel
activity in Reynaud's phenomenon, a condition that causes the blood vessels
in the fingers, toes, nose, and ears to narrow in response to cold temperatures
or stress. However, the effects of arginine are not clear. Large, well-designed
trials are needed. C
Recovery after surgery
Early study suggests that arginine may provide benefits when used as a
supplement after surgery. However, the role of arginine in this condition
is unclear. More research is needed to determine if this is safe and effective.
Early study suggests that arginine supplements may decrease the risk of
respiratory (lung) infections. Large, well-controlled studies are needed
to clarify this relationship. C
There is not enough information available to make a strong recommendation
about the use of arginine in senile dementia. C
Dietary supplementation with L-arginine and canola oil has been associated
with decreased rejection rates after the first month in kidney transplant
patients. Because it may reduce the risk of heart problems, long-term benefits
for patient survival may be particularly important. Further research is
needed to confirm these results. C
Arginine has been suggested to improve the rate of wound healing in the
elderly. Research has shown that an enteral diet supplemented with arginine
and fiber improved wound healing after surgery in patients with head and
neck cancer. Arginine has also been applied to the skin in order to improve
wound healing. Further research is necessary in this area before a firm
conclusion can be drawn. C
Based on early research, L-arginine supplementation is not an effective
therapy to prevent acute mountain sickness (AMS). D
Animal studies report that arginine blocks the poisonous (toxic) effects
of cyclosporine, a drug used to prevent organ transplant rejection. However,
results from studies in humans have not found that arginine offers any
protection from cyclosporine-induced toxicity. D
Overall, currently available study results conclude that arginine supplementation
does not improve exercise performance. D
Although there are several studies in this area, it is not clear what effects
arginine has on improving the likelihood of getting pregnant. Early evidence
does not support the use of arginine as a fertility treatment in women
who are undergoing in vitro fertilization or in men with abnormal sperm.
Arginine has been proposed as a treatment for interstitial cystitis or
inflammation of the bladder. However, most human studies have not found
that arginine improves symptoms, such as urinary frequency or urgency.
Kidney protection during angiography
The contrast media, or dye, used during angiography to map a patient's
arteries (or during some CT scans) can be poisonous (toxic) to the kidneys,
especially among people with kidney disease. Researchers have studied L-arginine
as a way to protect the kidneys in patients with long-term kidney failure
who were undergoing angiography. The authors found no evidence that injections
of L-arginine protect the kidney from damage due to contrast. D
Although it has been suggested that arginine may treat asthma, studies
in humans have actually found that arginine worsens inflammation in the
lungs and contributes to asthma symptoms. Therefore, taking arginine by
mouth or by inhalation is not recommended in people with asthma.

College... Those were the days. By the time I graduated, I was a world class chef when it came to giving Ramen noodles a flair and gourmet taste! Of several, there is one recipe that I still enjoy. Its amazing what masterpeices you can make with a few simple and cheap ingredients. This soup can be modified to fit your taste and is simple and cheap enough that you can experiment with any thing you please- just open your fridge and let your mind go wild!
When time is tight and the budget is tighter, this quick and easy pizza bake is a family pleasing lifesaver. Made for the Dining On A Dollar Contest! Revised after the contest: After your wonderful feedback I have revised this recipe so the crust bakes better. Please make sure to drain the noodles very very well so that they are very dry when preparing the crust to ensure the middle cooks as well as the edges. This makes more of a pan type pizza bake you eat with a fork rather than a 'pizza'.
This is a great recipe to use up produce in your refrigerator before it goes bad. Not only is this recipe cost effective and it reduces waste, but it is divine! Feel free to add whatever vegetables you have on hand such as zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, shallots, hard squash, frozen vegetables..... the list of possibilities is endless. I added cherry tomatoes and they were awesome! Serve with a salad and crusty bread.
When the budget is tight try dressing up leftovers and serving as a stir-fry over ramen noodles. This can be made with uncooked pork loin or with leftover pork. If using precooked pork you only need to reheat the pork with the other ingredients. This inexpensive recipe makes a delicious meal for a family of four or six. If serving to children you might need to adjust the Sambal Oelek accordingly.
These are a very cheap and attractive little snack or treat
for the lunchbox, and so easy that anyone could make it! You could
certainly add leftover veggies, meats, or extra herbs and spices to this
basic idea, and adapt it for personal tastes.
I made this up for dining on a $ cooking contest. This is an Asian Inspired salad it was great for lunch! It's very simple to make. It uses inexpensive ingredients but is very tasty I hope you enjoy! Prep/Cooking time does not include refrigeration time which is optional at 30 minutes.
This is Bold, Crisp, Crunchy, Creamy, Healthy, FUN, Finger FOOD!!!! Just 3 minutes of cooking and no silverware to clean! Just finger licking good. A romaine leaf topped with a creamy sauce delish refreshing ingredients. This is made vegetarian but grilled sliced steak, shrimp and or chicken would be a nice addition. This can be enjoyed as a main meal or appetizers.
Two classic favorites for your family in one easy, affordable meal. Pair with tossed salad and French bread and voilà! You'll be the next new chef to star in your own kitchen with adoring family and friends. And isn't that what it's all about?
This Asian-style slaw is a meld of many flavors & has a bit of a crunch as well! With the chicken it becomes more than just a satisfying side dish! Preparation time does not include time needed to shred the cabbage & carrot, nor the time taken to chop the chicken. Time that could be cut back by purchasing a pre-packaged cabbage-&-carrot coleslaw & using previously cooked, chopped & frozen chicken. The time also does not include the 4-8 hours for the slaw to chill. NOTE: On June 2011, I edited the recipe to include a 2nd can of mandarin orange segments, make the peanuts optional, AND increase the servings from 8 to 12-14.
I was out all day, and hadn't eaten anything but one cookie. I was hungry! So I chopped up a little of this and a little of that, put the noodles on to boil and dinner came together quick and easy! Created for the Dining on a Dollar Contest!
Looking for an Italian type dish that's easy on the pocket and still is quick, tasty and filling? Well, look no further this is it. And I bet that you already
have most of the ingredients you need for this recipe. To make this a complete meal, serve with your favorite garlic bread and a salad.

The research comprises the identification of the main drivers for wind turbine fatigue loads and tackles the question, whether these conditions are also reflected in standard wind turbine signals. Furthermore, possible techniques for the set-up of transfer functions to link standard signals and loads are investigated. Because of the many conditions which can potentially influence fatigue loads and the non-linear characteristics of wind turbines, a neural network based approach seems to be the most promising option, at least for loads encountered during normal power production.
Besides discussing the general outline of a load estimation system, different prediction schemes are developed from simulations of a typical 1.5 MW wind turbine. Loads and standard signals are generated using the industrial design tool Flex5. This allows to perform first test of methods for the prediction of equivalent load ranges and equivalent magnitudes from statistical parameters of standard signals. In addition, it is investigated if frequency domain methods can serve as the basis for the estimation of load cycle distributions. Because of the non-linear characteristics of wind turbines and the non-stationary operational conditions it turns out that these methods can not be applied easily. Therefore, an empirical method which employs fitting of combined probability density distributions to measured loads is developed.
Test and refinement of the methods is performed with measured data. In a first step the developed schemes are validated on the basis of data recorded from measurements at the state-of-the-art 5 MW wind turbine Multibrid M5000. The transferability of the approach to another turbine type and the feasibility to derive accurate predictions from a reduced number of input data is emphasised by additional tests at one 2.5 MW Nordex N80 turbine. First results indicating the applicability of already established transfer functions for load predictions at turbines in a series are derived by utilising measurements from a second N80 turbine. Finally, recommendations for further research activities towards the employment of a load estimation system on an industrial scale are given.

Magical Fuel is a processed form of magic, usually from aether, and turned into something that can be used as a fuel source for vehicles, such as spacecraft. It is commonly created by the Fayries where they live on aether-rich planets, such as Uranus, and use great processing plants to create the fuel.
Magical fuel is created through magical processing in great processing plants, such as those found in the atmosphere of Uranus. It relies on the raw form of magic, aether, orichalcum or vrilia, to be transformed into useable fuel. It is capable of powering spacecraft[Pan 1].
Processing plants that transform aether into magical fuel are found in the atmosphere of aether-rich planets, such as Uranus, and pump in aether through huge pipes and then transform the aether into magical fuel within the orbital plant[Pan 1].

Meditations from a Movable Chair
With the publication of his first volume of short stories, SEPARATE FLIGHTS (1975), it became clear that Andre Dubus had no illusions about the human condition. However, after a hit-and-run accident in 1986 left him in constant pain, bound to a wheelchair, and even cost him his marriage, Dubus experienced such physical and mental suffering that it seemed he would never write again. The publication of a volume of essays entitled BROKEN VESSELS (1991), then of the short story collection DANCING AFTER HOURS (1996), and now of this volume testify not only to Dubus’ courage and determination but also, as he believes, to the operation of divine grace in his own life.
All of the twenty-five essays in MEDITATIONS FROM A MOVABLE CHAIR are highly personal, and all of them are connected at least peripherally to what happened to the author. In “Legs,” “A Country Road Song,” and “Autumn Legs,” for example, Dubus admits that until he lost his freedom, he never really appreciated it. Similarly, he asserts that he never understood Hemingway’s “In Another Country” until he himself was wounded. Thus out of suffering comes wisdom; out of evil, God brings good.
Although MEDITATIONS FROM A MOVABLE CHAIR is solidly grounded in Roman Catholic theology, Dubus’ story of his spiritual quest has meaning not just for Catholics but for every human being who would like to make sense out of suffering. Uncompromisingly honest and beautifully written, this memorable book is a real treasure.

In 1500, just a year after England sent its first British-led expedition to "Terra Nova," the so-called New World, King Henry VII gave a hefty reward to one of the explorers, new research shows.
The king gave an extravagant paycheck of 30 British pounds sterling to William Weston, a Bristol merchant who traveled on the 1499 voyage. Back then, that sum of money was the equivalent of about six years' salary for a laborer, indicating that King Henry VII was pleased with Weston's accomplishments, the researchers said.
They made the discovery by using ultraviolet light to reveal text on a huge parchment that dates back more than 500 years, said study co-researcher Evan Jones, a senior lecturer in economic and social history at the University of Bristol. [Photos: Christopher Columbus Likely Saw This 1491 Map]
In 2009, Jones published a long-lost letter from King Henry VII, in which he stated that Weston was preparing for an expedition to the "new found land," Jones said. This was hardly the first trip to the New World from England. The Venetian explorer John Cabot sailed from the English port of Bristol in 1497 and again in 1498. Finally, in 1499, Weston directed a British-led expedition, with the king's support, the letter showed.
During the recent analysis, Jones worked with Margaret Condon, an honorary research associate at the University of Bristol who is part of the Cabot Project — an international project to research voyages from Bristol during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Condon painstakingly trawled official tax records to learn more about the adventurers traveling from Europe to North America.
These tax records weren't easy reads. They were written on huge parchment rolls, created from the skin of more than 200 sheep. Each segment on the roll was 6.5 feet (2 meters) long and had ink so faint that it was visible only under ultraviolet light.
"First time I read the roll, I almost missed it," Condon said in a statement. "These rolls are beasts to deal with, but also precious and irreplaceable documents. Handling them, it sometimes feels like you're wrestling, very gently, with an obstreperous [boisterous] baby elephant!"
The researchers also found that Cabot and Weston got rewards in January 1498, after they met with Henry VII. This finding shows that the two explorers were working together before Weston left on the 1499 journey.
In addition, it appears that Weston was likely one of the unnamed "great seamen" from Bristol whom Italian diplomats wrote about during the winter of 1497 to 1498. These letters, sent from London to Italy, describe how Cabot was traveling with Bristol explorers on his 1497 and 1498 expeditions.
It's anyone's guess how Cabot's final expedition in 1498 turned out, as it's unclear whether any of his ships returned to Europe. Perhaps this is why King Henry decided to send another expedition the following year, led by one of Cabot's deputies, the researchers said.
"Finding this new evidence is wonderful," Jones said in the statement. "What’s amazing about these early Bristol voyages is how little we’ve ever known about them."
Jones added that "Cabot’s voyages have been famous since Elizabethan times and were used to justify England’s later colonization of North America. But we've never known the identity of his English supporters. Until recently, we didn't even know that there was an expedition in 1499." [Top 5 Misconceptions About Columbus]
Other evidence from the Cabot Project revealed that Weston was "a bit of a gambler," Condon said. "But then so was Cabot," she said. "Perhaps you had to be, to risk your life on such a dangerous voyage into unknown seas."
The new findings support two extraordinary claims made by Alwyn Ruddock, a historian at the University of London who died in 2005. Ruddock spent years researching England's first voyages to North America, but she ordered that all her unpublished work be destroyed at the time of her death. Her orders were followed, but her will specified that a book could go forward if it were in press. Ruddock never submitted that book, but she did submit a synopsis for one, and this was shared with Jones. Intriguingly, in one of her findings, she stated that Cabot had explored much of North America's east coast by 1500.
In another one of her claims, Ruddock said that a group of Italian friars who sailed with Cabot on his 1498 expedition went on to found Europe's first Christian colony and church in North America. She also implied that Weston visited this settlement in Newfoundland in 1499, just before he traveled up the coast of Labrador to search for the Northwest Passage around the continent. It was for this that Weston received the reward from the king, the researchers said.
However, historians working with the Cabot Project have a long way to go before supporting or rejecting Ruddock's other claims.
"I think we've got well over half of the documents Ruddock located, but there are definitely more, especially in Italy," Condon said. "She did a lot of work there, including in the private archives of some of Italy's great noble families."
The new study was published online Oct. 2 in the journal Historical Research.

The hot wind moves across the land now like a draft from hell. It sucks the moisture from the soil until it hardens and cracks, and it licks at the vegetation with a million dry tongues until the grass turns brown and the leaves wither and quake.
Perhaps by the time you read this the rains will have come, but now there is a drought that reaches into the heart of all things. Several weeks ago, when it was only days old, it reached into the heart of metropolitan Chicago where commodity traders play poker with seeds. That means, of course, that you and I will pay for this drought at the grocery store no matter its duration.
Now there is a hoarding of moisture across the land. Now, when the cellular program is for explosive growth, plants of all descriptions have turned down their metabolism to ``idle,`` and they wait, curled inward on themselves in a kind of biologic cowering.
That must be the posture now in this seasonal torture, to cower and conserve, and to reflect on the importance of moisture to our lives. For years we take it for granted, even curse it when it descends in torrents and floods our basements, and then one day we look at the sky uneasily and realize that something is wrong: A metallic haze rims the cloudless horizon, and it comes with something of a shock to realize that there has been no rain for a long, long time.
But technology has built us a shelter from the drought. It is constructed of tanks and pumps and pipes and faucets, and we turn to it as automatically as we would scratch an itch. Water flows to our command, and we use this means to become little gods, to help some of the plants, the grass that we want green and the flowers that we want to blossom.
However, we can only do so much and it is really only a cosmetic little token, like pinning one medal on an army. The magnitude of a drought cannot be stemmed, not even when the technology extends to endless fields where irrigation systems sweep with great watery brooms.
In the city, the drought is an inconvenience: In the country it is devastation, and those who live there know the feeling of despair that comes to the senses like tiny particles of gritty dust.
One summer when arid, rainless days piled up one after another like hot-air balloons, the rural community where I lived as a boy began to curl up at the edges like a potato chip. Farmers, my father among them, had survived the dust bowl days as young men, and a decade later, as the drought moved in to cripple their crops with its hot, poisonous breath there was a mixture of incredulity and fear among them. They would stand alone or with neighbors on the ends of the fields, starring off across the dryness and the brittle remains of their crops, and in their silence there was an expression of grand agony, something beyond pleading and whimpering.
Along the country roads, dust lay thick enough to cover the toes of a barefoot boy, and the passage of cars and trucks was marked by tornado-like clouds that swirled and spiraled up and rode off with the wind like ghosts rising from the dying land.
Pastures turned brown, and it was a cruel irony for farm boys assigned to thistle-cutting that the thistles with their long taproots seemed to flourish as the grass died around them.
The rains came, finally, as they always do. But the drought left a scar on the economy of the community, threatening to topple it back into the throes of the recent depression. Bank loans were extended and increased, and the fallout lasted until the next season when there was no shortage of rain.
Droughts leave scars on people, too. Somewhere in the psyche of many of us is the mark of the post-dust-bowl drought. That may be why now as the current drought holds sway, we sometimes wake from a sound sleep to hear a peculiar and woeful message in the night wind.


It’s become routine for SpaceX to launch its own Falcon 9 rockets with Starlink broadband satellites aboard. A Falcon 9 rocket launched a new batch of 60 Starlink satellites into orbit late on Monday, February 15. While the launch went off without a hitch, and the second stage with the satellites aboard continued functioning normally, the Falcon 9 booster recovery failed.
Jessica Anderson, a SpaceX engineer who was offering live launch commentary, noted that “we did not land our booster on Of Course I Still Love You,” which is an autonomous drone ship operating in the ocean. While it was unfortunate SpaceX was unable to recover the booster, Anderson said the second stage was still on a nominal trajectory.
The company has always been clear that while it wants to recover its Falcon 9 rockets for reuse, delivering the flight payload into orbit is always the primary mission. The booster that was unable to be recovered is known as B1059 and had been used on two different SpaceX Dragon cargo resupply missions to the ISS, including CRS-19 in December 2019 and CRS-20 in March 2020.
The now missing booster also pushed a Starlink mission into orbit last June along with an Argentinian satellite in August and a spy satellite for the United States government in December. The launch last night was the first of two planned Starlink launches within a week, with another 60 Starlink satellites scheduled to head into orbit as early as Wednesday, February 17, using a different Falcon 9.
SpaceX adopted the fast launch pace after recently having to change Starlink missions up due to weather and hardware-related issues. At this time, it’s unclear exactly what went wrong with the attempted recovery of the Falcon 9 rocket.

Is Singing good for your heart?
“Singing in a choir is as good for you as yoga,” The Daily Telegraph reports.
Apparently, a study found that the regular breathing patterns choir singing requires, ‘can reduce the variability of your heartbeat’..
What is the most important part of singing?
The most important element of singingThe key element of singing is actually listening.And it struck me — music is exactly the same way.We think of an amazing performance as something we give, but really, singing is just as much about receiving.Music is not just about getting songs sung. Life is not about getting things done.
Are you born with a good singing voice?
In an article by Al Kohen, called, “Are Good Singers ‘Born With It’?” Kohen says that while some people do inherit the natural ability to sing well, it is actually a learned trait. Vocal lessons, practice, and dedication from a young age can mold someone into a talented singer.
What does good singing feel like?
You shouldn’t feel tightness or pain in your throat. You shouldn’t have to tense any part of your body to excess (abs, throat, shoulder, tongue, jaw etc). It should feel GOOD.
How singing can change your life?
Or it might be from oxytocin, another hormone released during singing, which has been found to alleviate anxiety and stress. Oxytocin also enhances feelings of trust and bonding, which may explain why still more studies have found that singing lessens feelings of depression and loneliness.
Why does singing make you feel good?
In the same way that exercise boosts endorphin flow, singing also releases the brain’s “feel good” chemical – resulting in a sense of euphoria, enhanced immune response, and a natural pain relief. Singing also triggers the release of oxytocin, which helps relieve anxiety and stimulates feelings of trust.
Does singing Make You Smarter?
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Singing on a regular basis might be the key to doing better in the workplace or at school. Learning to sing promotes structural changes in the brain that help you learn and think quicker on your feet. The research was done in a strange group, not people but songbirds.
Is singing a talent or skill?
Singing is more of a learned skill than a natural talent, said Steven Demorest, a music education professor at Northwestern University who recently published a study in the journal Music Perceptionthat compared the singing accuracy of kindergartners, sixth-graders and college-age adults.
Is having a good singing voice genetic?
“The quality of the voice is dependent on many factors; however, barring a physical vocal disability, everyone can learn to sing well enough to sing basic songs.” While some factors are genetic, Rutkowski says growing up in a musical environment strongly influences whether someone sings well and confidently.
What should you not do before singing?
Make sure to never stuff yourself, especially before a performance. Some foods and beverages to avoid prior to singing are mucous producing foods such as dairy, stimulants such as caffeine and spicy foods, soft drinks, refined sugars, chocolate, iced drinks and alcohol (including wine and beer).
Does singing everyday improve voice?
Practice Singing Daily Creating a daily practice routine will get your vocal and breathing muscles in shape. Take advantage of the time you have. While having time set aside for singing so you can focus on technique, posture, and breathing is the most effective, that doesn’t mean you can’t sing while: cooking.
How does singing benefit your brain?
Singing and memory Singing may help improve mental alertness by delivering more oxygenated blood to the brain. For those with dementia, singing can improve concentration and memory recollection. The Alzheimer’s Society has a “Singing for the Brain” program to help people with dementia maintain their memories.
Is singing a skill or a gift?
Singing is a learned skill, not a ‘gift’ we’re born with.
What are the 6 types of voices?
Though everyone’s range is specific to their voice, most vocal ranges are categorized within 6 common voice types: Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Alto, Mezzo-Soprano, and Soprano. If you’ve been part of a choir before, you’re probably pretty familiar with these ranges.
Does singing improve lung function?
“Singing is not only a popular pastime but research has shown it can help people living with lung conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to preserve their lung function and quality of life,” says Heather McKee, of the British Lung Foundation.
What is the importance of singing?
Successful singing is important because it builds self-confidence, promotes self-esteem, always engages the emotions, promotes social inclusion, supports social skill development, and enables young people of different ages and abilities to come together successfully to create something special in the arts.
What every singer needs to know?
What Every Singer Needs to Know About the Body, Second Edition gives singers and their teachers a Body Mapping resource from anatomy and physiology to body awareness that helps them discover and correct misconceptions about the way their bodies are built and the way they function.
Why is singing so difficult?
yet why is it often so hard to sing? It is because these three things have so many variables, and yet they all need to coordinate together in very precise ways. You need to send air, but the right amount of air at the correct airflow, to the vocal cords. … Keeping these muscles passive while singing takes practice.


eGPUs have recently started to become incredibly popular for MacBooks since they allow you to simply plug it in and get a boost in graphics power for things like video editing, 3d rendering and video gaming.
And at the same time, you get the flexibility of choosing your own eGPU enclosure and graphics card, which you can then upgrade in the future when a better one gets released. And even better, when you sell your MacBook, you can keep your eGPU for your new MacBook or for any device that supports Thunderbolt 3. Now all of this sounds great, but there are actually some cases where an eGPU system can slow down performance to the point where it’s faster with the MacBook by itself, and I’ll talk about that in a minute.
And in 2020, Apple has announced that they’re switching to their own ARM chips within the next two years, so I’ll discuss what that means for the future of using eGPUs for MacBooks.
The first MacBook I’m gonna talk about in terms of connecting to an eGPU is the MacBook Air, but first I want to quickly mention the eGPU components that we recommend. We like to use the Razer Core X which is currently $300 on amazon because it’s been the most reliable eGPU enclosure that we’ve tested. And as far as the graphics card, it’s hands down the AMD 5700 XT because it works for both Windows and Mac, and it performs better than even the Radeon VII because of the new Navi architecture, so I’ll have links to the best deals on both of these components down in the description below if you decide to buy them.
I hooked up this eGPU setup to the MacBook Air, which now has a pretty decent quad-core processor which you’d think would perform great, but when I tested out video gaming performance, I found that it really didn’t perform well at all, with very low and inconsistent frame rates. I discovered that the CPU was literally at 100 degrees Celsius the entire time that I was playing, throttling the performance, and by now, you should all know why. Of course, it’s the major flaw where the CPU’s heatsinks isn’t even connected to the fan, so it overheats almost instantly. Max also tried video editing with this MacBook Air eGPU setup, and he came to the same conclusion, the processor was at 100 degrees Celsius so it throttled the performance and was very slow.
So if you have a MacBook Air, absolutely do not buy an eGPU, it’s not gonna be worth it at all. Now let’s move onto the 13” MacBook Pro. We tried our eGPU out with both the base $1300 model and the new 10th-Gen CPU model for $1800, and since the cooling system works well, we should see some pretty decent performance gains. As you can see from this Geekbench 5 Metal test, we get a massive boost in RAW graphics performance when connecting an eGPU since the 13” MacBook Pro doesn’t have a dedicated graphics card to begin with.
We then tested gaming in League of Legends and we were able to get around 139FPS on each system with maxed out settings including 4K resolution, but in Fortnite, we saw a bigger difference of around 20 FPS on the $1800 MacBook Pro. We tested the BruceX benchmark in Final Cut Pro and it was clear that the eGPUs were really putting in work. And throughout all of the video editing tests we ran, we noticed that the eGPU system greatly helped both MacBook Pros, but it helped the $1800 model even more, with much better performance in a few of the tests.
We figured that part of the reason could be the 16GB of RAM on the higher-end model, but I think the bigger deal is that it has the 10th-Gen CPU which actually has the Thunderbolt controller integrated into the chip itself, compared to the base model which requires an external Thunderbolt 3 controller which can add extra latency to the process. So basically, an eGPU is definitely worth it for the 13” MacBook Pro in 2020, since it gives you great performance on both models, but the higher-end model gains more from an eGPU, especially for productivity tasks like video editing. And now finally, let’s discuss the 16” MacBook Pro, which surprisingly has much different results when using an eGPU.
We used the base $2400 model, which is currently on sale for only $2,150 on Amazon using the link below, and we found that for gaming, we got just around the same FPS as the high-end 13” MacBook Pro, so there wasn’t any real advantage there for the 16” model. As for video editing, we tested BruceX, and for some reason, the scores were lower than before, at around 15 and 16 seconds, which could be because of a new macOS update or something else, so it was only a couple of seconds faster than the base 16” by itself.
We then stabilized a 1 minute HEVC clip, and now we finally saw a decent improvement for the 16” with the eGPU, but it was surprising to see that the base 16” MacBook Pro by itself was actually faster than with the eGPU. And we saw the same thing in the 30 second C200 stabilization test, where the eGPU made the 16” MacBook Pro 10 seconds slower. And then we also exported a 5 minute 4K clip, and the 16” MacBook Pro by itself was once again slower with the eGPU. And then in the 5 minute 4.5K Red RAW test, we saw the same results, with the eGPU actually slowing down performance. We discovered that the reason we’re seeing this is because the 16” MacBook Pro already has a very efficient and decently powerful dedicated graphics card, and with the eGPU, the data has to travel from the CPU to the eGPU and then back to the CPU to finish processing, and it has to do all of that within a single Thunderbolt 3 cable, so it adds a lot of steps to the process.
And then there’s one more thing to consider, the 16” MacBook Pro now has a very expensive 5600M GPU option for $800 compared to at least $680 for the eGPU setup, but the benefit is that it’s built into the MacBook Pro so you get that performance everywhere compared to having to deal with the eGPU with possible driver issues and getting an external monitor to get the full performance out of it. As far as performance, the 16” MacBook Pro by itself with the 5600M GPU destroyed the eGPU setup in terms of gaming, getting a huge 180 FPS in league of legends, and 110 FPS in Fortnite with more consistent frame rates as well.
And for video editing, basically every single test was much quicker on this MacBook Pro by itself. The BruceX test took only 9 seconds compared to around 16 with an eGPU. The 1 minute HEVC stabilization test only took 10 seconds. The 30s C200 RAW stabilization test only took 39 seconds. And then both the 5 Minute 4K export test and the 4.5K Red Raw tests were quicker with the MacBook Pro by itself. Now this is a higher-end MacBook Pro with the 2.4GHz 8-core CPU and 32GB of RAM, but a lot of these tests are heavily graphics-dependent to where the 6-core base CPU wasn’t being a bottleneck at all. So basically, an eGPU really isn’t worth it for the 16” MacBook Pro for 3 different reasons.
1. You don’t get any real advantage over the 13” model for gaming performance.
2. The base 16” Pro by itself was faster in a few of the video editing tests.
And 3. The 5600M GPU option is actually much more worth it if you want high-end performance, since it beat out the eGPU in every single test, and it performed much better for gaming as well. Now let’s answer the original question, is an eGPU worth it for your MacBook in 2020? Well, it’s really only worth it for the 13” MacBook Pro since it has a proper cooling solution and it stands to gain the most from an eGPU since it lacks a dedicated graphics card.
Now if you want to buy a 16” MacBook Pro, I would highly recommend investing into the 5600M graphics option for $800, because it offers the absolute best performance for gaming and productivity work, and you don’t have to deal with the eGPU. But for those who already have a 16” MacBook Pro, don’t buy an eGPU if you’re doing things like video editing because it won’t really help you out. I would only recommend an eGPU if you already have the 16” and you would rather buy an eGPU for gaming performance instead of selling your current model and buying another 16” with the 5600M graphics card. And now let’s finally address the issue of Apple switching to ARM chips within the next two years. Apple has already mentioned that they’ll continue to support Intel Macs for years to come, so if you buy a MacBook Pro right now, you’ll most likely get full software support for the next 6 to 7 years, so you’ll be able to enjoy your eGPU for many more years.
Now as far as the new ARM-based Macs, there’s a good chance that Windows 10 in boot camp is going away, so if you want to continue enjoying gaming in Windows, it actually makes the most sense to buy an Intel-based MacBook right now before the switch. And if you don’t care about Windows 10 at all, I personally believe that eGPUs will continue to work in macOS after the switch to ARM happens, and I have two reasons for it.
Apple is currently selling both the LG ultrafine 5K display and their own 6K Pro Display XDR on their website, and both of those displays use Thunderbolt 3 exclusively to connect to Apple Macs, so Apple is gonna make sure their future ARM Macs support those displays, which means that eGPUs should work as well.
And the second reason is that Apple has sold Blackmagic eGPUs to customers in the past, so it wouldn’t make sense for them to completely ditch eGPUs going forward. So based on all of that, you should be safe to buy an eGPU in 2020, especially for the 13” MacBook Pro. But if you have a Macbook Air, don’t buy one, and if you’re thinking about buying a 16” MacBook Pro, then pay for the 5600M graphics option instead.

UCLG World Summit in Bogotá: What is at stake?
UCLG World Summit in Bogotá: What is at stake?
On 12-15 October the World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders will be held in Bogotá together with the 5th UCLG World Congress. During the World Summit, local and regional leaders will have the opportunity to discuss cutting-edge environmental, economic and societal issues affecting our daily work on the ground.
The Summit is the key gathering prior to the Habitat III Conference in Quito that seeks to revive the international municipal movement and strengthen the voice of local and regional governments. How issues such as urbanization, migration, climate change, increasing inequalities, new technologies and citizen demands for democracy are reshaping our societies and our planet will be addressed during the Summit. Local and regional governments from around the world will discuss how to approach development over the coming decades.
Following this line, the International Institute of Sustainable Development (IISD) has developed a series of policy updates to show the major issues shaping the day-to-day work of local and regional governments in more detail.
A journey for a common a voice
In May 2016, the Global Taskforce of Local and Regional Governments (GTF), facilitated by UCLG, agreed on the recommendations of local and regional governments towards Habitat III based on the outcomes of the Second World Assembly of Local and Regional Governments. These are the main proposals for the Zero Draft of the New Urban Agenda that local and regional governments will take to Quito.
Will Habitat III listen to cities and territories?
The Right to the City will be at the core of the World Summit. As established in the Zero Draft of the New Urban Agenda, the Right to the City means the “right of all inhabitants, present and future, permanent and temporary to use, occupy and produce just, inclusive and sustainable cities, defined as a common good essential to a full and decent life.”
But how is the Right to the City ensured in practice? The World Summit will be the key moment to contribute to the political dialogue and build momentum for the initiative.
Local and regional governments have been advocating for the Right to the City and, whether included in the final draft of the New Urban Agenda or not, will continue to implement it.
Localizing the agenda
Cities have become the most relevant and challenging areas in which to implement the SDGs. "Localization" refers to the implementation of the SGDs on the ground. In this regard, local and regional governments are essential actors to achieve the effective implementation of the 2030 Agenda at local level.
Challenges and opportunities for local finance
In a rapidly changing world cities and municipalities need strategic planning to face the current global challenges. Local governance is the closest level of government to citizens, and for this reason is considered the most appropriate actor to manage financing that targets sustainable urban development. In order to achieve this, there is an essential need for effective finance to boost sustainable urban transformation in fast-growing cities. Yet, what are the real financial capacities of and challenges faced by municipalities?
Local governments bring the perspectives of metropolitan areas, intermediary cities and territories to Habitat III
The effective implementation of the SDGs and the New Urban Agenda will require the active involvement of all types of local and regional government, large and small, rural and urban.
The World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders will see the launch of the Fourth Global Report on Local Democracy and Decentralization (GOLD IV) – Co-Creating the Urban Future. The report provides the evidence base for the Global Agenda of Local and Regional Governments, a set of policy recommendations for everyone involved in the future of metropolises, intermediary cities and territories. GOLD IV puts local and regional authorities at the centre of the New Urban Agenda, focusing on policies that – with the involvement of citizens and communities – have the potential to transform human settlements around the world.
The World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders will be an extraordinary opportunity to make the voices of local and regional governments heard and move forward towards the Habitat III Conference in Quito.
