Dr. Blaylock on MS, MSG, aspartame and what to do about it

[Guest guest]

You won't regret taking the time to read this. The second report by

Blaylock talks about how these people are responding to silymarin

(which is milk thistle), circumin (which is from Turmeric) and

minocycline (a lyme disease killer) and are getting GREAT results.

No wonder my family is symptom-free. This is what we are on.

NOTE: although SNOPES posts are useful to consult to catch some

hoaxes, I'm sure SNOPES has a hidden agenda by declaring certain

politically incorrect findings as hoaxes.

As per this link http://altnews.com.au/drop/node/4334 , the effect of

Aspartame is worsened by MSG.

Does Aspartame multiply female MS? New Study Report at Neurology

Conference...

- by: Dr. Betty i, D.Hum, Founder - Mission Possible

International

Monday, May 7th, 2007

About 400,000 people in the US are victims of Multiple Sclerosis

(MS), a horrible autoimmune disease that devastates the central

nervous system.

At the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting, Dr.

Cutter, professor of Biostatistics at the University of Alabama, said

women are now four times as likely as men to get multiple

sclerosis: " It started at two-to-one and is now four-to-one. "

Researchers found the ratio of women-to-men is increasing by about 50

percent each decade.

*** Petition Australia's Health Minister Tony Abbott to BAN ASPARTAME

NOW! ***

The increase is more pronounced in younger people with young women

especially contracting it at an accelerating rate.

" This rapid change suggests that it's not just the disease behaving

as usual, " Cutter said. " It is unfortunate, but it is an opportunity

and we can use this information to learn what directions we ought to

pursue. " LaRocca, a VP at the National MS Society,

said: " This is an interesting phenomenon, and I'm not sure anyone

knows why it's happening. "

MS is going through the roof and nobody knows why. As a statistician

Professor Cutter deals with numbers. We thank him for his fine

research. But to the victims of this dread plague it's more

than " unfortunate " , more than " an opportunity " or " an interesting

phenomenon " .

It's time for everyone to see the GORILLA in the Phone Booth.

Women, especially young women, are the greatest consumers of

aspartame laced diet colas. Aspartame is also sold NutraSweet, Equal,

Spoonful, Canderel, E951, etc. This toxic chemical has long been

recognized by prominent medical authorities as a neurotoxin that both

mimics and precipitates multiple sclerosis. But it's not politically

correct to identify such a popular, profitable and addictive product.

The producers will fight like wildcats to discredit you.

It takes guts to blow the whistle. But famous MDs have done so, among

which are Neurosurgeon Dr. Blaylock and Dr. H. J. . Dr

Louis Elsas, former Emory University Professor of Pediatrics &

Genetics, testified to Congress that aspartame, a teratogen, causes

birth defects and mental retardation.

The bitter story of Kim , an aspartame/MS victim:

" In high school I was a big diet soda drinker. In 1983 I became

pregnant with conjoined twins, then gave birth to our son and 2

daughters. I drank lots of diet coke during pregnancy with all 3

children. Thinking white sugar was bad for children I pushed sugar-

free drinks, Crystal Lite, ice tea with Equal, and sugar free gum to

protect their teeth. By the age of about 6 my daughter was diagnosed

with colitis, my son at 6 was diagnosed with severe esophogitus and

my youngest daughter also developed many abdominal problems. We spent

a great deal of time in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. My son

had to have back surgery due to a spontaneous stress fracture and

spondylolysis.

" We spent time at Mayo clinic, Children's Memorial Hospital in

Chicago and Univ of Pennsylvania Hospital trying to get answers. My

son has been diagnosed with eosinophilic esophogitus (he is allergic

to all food) and cyclic vomiting, but my daughters are still

struggling with intermittent abdominal pain. During this entire time

artificial sweeteners were given freely to the kids. Who knows how

much aspartame has played a part in their health but they were each

born healthy and as the years past there health continued to

deteriorate. Both of my oldest children have missed years of school

and had to be on home education. Of course now, none of the children

use artificial sweeteners but they have been on them for a lifetime.

They have not experienced the improvements that I have but we are

hopeful. "

My own history, by Kim :

January 02 My right foot went numb

February First vision loss, holes in my vision, progressed to losing

right field of vision for hours

March Numbness increased up to waist, health quickly deteriorating

unknown cause

Went to primary Doctor for Neurological exam: Abnormal, right

reflexes hyper.

MRI scheduled.

April 2 lesions found on the MRI. Memory loss became significant

problem

Numbness spread to entire right side of body.

Told I did have MS and needed to be followed at hospital of U. of

Pennsylvania

Told my friends and family that I had MS.

" May-March 03 MANY tests run at HUP and Presbyterian Hospital and

Sheiy Eye Hospital. Symptoms rapidly increased, intermittent field of

vision loss, burning in my head, extreme memory loss and fatigue,

pain in right arm, joint pain, leg pain, depression, numbness began

on left side, eye pain, red eyes, extreme thirst, chest pain, rapid

heart beat, hives.

" I began looking into the possibility of disability through work. In

the spring of 2003 was told I had central nervous system Sjogrens and

possibly MS as well and needed to begin a 2 year chemo treatment of

each immuran or cytoxin and should begin immediately. Told due to the

decreased saliva production I should always drink diet sodas to

protect my teeth. In May 2003 I informed doctors I wanted to delay my

treatment until Sept because I direct a camp in the summers in Va and

did not feel I could handle the treatment and face my

responsibilities. I also informed the people at camp my health was

rapidly deteriorating and that I wasn't sure I would be able to

continue at the camp (that I had founded). Doctors strongly

encouraged me not to wait for the treatment because the disease was

progressing and the damage was irreversible.

" June 2003 While at camp and drinking a diet coke a dear friend, Jack

Rosenquist , asked if I knew that diet coke could cause all the

problems that I was having. I explained I didn't believe him but had

nothing to lose so I wouldn't drink one for another year and see what

happened. The only thing I had to lose was a chemo treatment I was

dreading and praying to live without. In Sept. 2003 Returned to HUP

neurology. Major improvements and asked by the Dr if my improvements

were a result of starting my treatment. I explained my only treatment

was stopping Diet Coke. My memory loss had dramatically improved, the

burning in my head stopped, extreme fatigue was gone, arm pain gone,

eye pain gone, loss of vision completely stopped, numbness never

progressed since the day I stopped drinking diet coke and many more...

" The Doctor said the only way to prove it was to reintroduce it and

see if the symptoms returned. I said NO WAY. Sept 03 to spring 04 I

continued to feel good and decided that I was willing to reintroduce

Diet coke for the good of others so the medical field would know the

need to promote this FACT. In the spring 2004 I called the Dr and

said t I was willing to reintroduce Diet coke and asked how would he

like me to do it. He explained it needed to be controlled and I could

only have one per day and needed to journal my reactions. After one

Diet coke per day for 4 days I already had burning in my head,

extreme fatigue, abdominal pain, arm pain, red eyes....the 4th day I

left my daughter at school and couldn't even remember I was suppose

to pick her up(that had not happened since I had stopped drinking

Diet Coke). I told my Dr I cannot continue because it's not SAFE. I

never dreamed all the horrible symptoms would return so quickly.

" In Aug 2004 took my sister Roxanne to meet Betty i. Sister was

diagnosed with MS 9/11/01. She had tremendous pain in her hand and

arm. After meeting Betty took aspartame seriously and within 3 weeks

had use of her hand and was pain free. This is a very concise

summary. Thank you for all your work and thanks again for taking the

time to meet with both Roxanne and I. Keep up the GREAT work!!!!!

Love, Kim "

Among the many injuries aspartame visits, it's also a neurotoxin,

which destroys the nervous system. To illustrate: Think of your

nerves as the electric wiring in your body. Wires in your house are

insulated to prevent short circuits. Our nerves are insulated with

myelin sheaths. Aspartame dissolves this protection, and the nervous

system 'shorts out " as do bare wires when they touch.

CONNECTION BETWEEN MS AND ASPARTAME, By Blaylock, M.D.

Dr. Blaylock is a retired board-certified neurosurgeon with 26 years

experience. Visiting Professor of Biology Belhaven College, ,

Mississippi. Retired Clinical Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at

the Medical University of Mississippi.Dr Blaylock is author of three

books and thirty scientific papers plus other medical works. He

serves on the editorial staff of The Journal of American Physicians

and Surgeons, the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association,

and acts as a medical advisor to the American Nutraceutical

Association. http://www.russellblaylockmd.com He has an excellent

lecture, The Truth About Aspartame, and a DVD on Nutrition &

Behaviorhttp://www.atavistik.com He also publishes the

monthly " Blaylock Report. " Here is what he says:

" Controversy has surrounded a claim that aspartame may produce an MS-

like syndrome. A current review of recent peer-reviewed scientific

studies has disclosed a pathophysiological mechanism to explain this

connection. As far back as 1996 it was shown that the lesions

produced in the myelin sheath of axons in cases of multiple sclerosis

were related to excitatory receptors on the primary cells involved

called oligodendroglia. Recent studies have now confirmed what was

suspected back then. The loss of myelin sheath on the nerve fibers

characteristic of the disease are due to the death of these

oligodendroglial cells at the site of the lesions (called plaques).

Further, these studies have shown that the death of these important

cells is as a result of excessive exposure to excitotoxins at the

site of the lesions.

" Normally, most of these excitotoxins are secreted from microglial

immune cells in the central nervous system. This not only destroys

these myelin-producing cells it also breaks down the blood-brain

barrier (BBB), allowing excitotoxins in the blood stream to enter the

site of damage. Aspartame contains the excitotoxin aspartate as 40%

of its molecular structure. Numerous studies have shown that

consuming aspartame can significantly elevate the excitotoxin level

in the blood. There is a common situation during which the

excitotoxin exposure is even greater. When aspartate (as aspartame)

is combined in the diet with monosodium glutamate (MSG) blood levels

are several fold higher than normal. With the BBB damaged, as in MS,

these excitotoxins can freely enter the site of injury, greatly

magnifying the damage. So, we see that dietary excitotoxins, such as

aspartame and MSG, can greatly magnify the damage produced in

multiple sclerosis. Likewise, excitotoxins have been shown

to breakdown the Blood Brain Barrier as well.

" Of equal concern is observation that we know that about 10% of the

population (based on autopsy studies of elderly) have MS lesions

without ever developing the full blown disease, a condition called

benign MS. A diet high in excitotoxins, such as aspartame, can

convert this benign, subclinical condition into full-blown clinical

MS. The amount of excitotoxins consumed in the average American diet

is considerable, as shown by several studies. In addition, the toxin

methanol is also in the aspartame molecule. Methanol is an axon

poison. Combined toxicity of the aspartate and the methanol adds up

to considerable brain toxicity and can convert benign, subclinical MS

into full-blown MS. Once the MS becomes full-blown, further

consumption of excitotoxins magnifies the toxicity, increasing

disability and death.

" Recent studies have also shown that even single exposures to these

food-based excitotoxins can produce prolonged worsening of

neurological lesions. In addition, it has been demonstrated that

autoimmune reactions (as occurs with MS) greatly magnifies the

toxicity of aspartate and glutamate (the excitotoxins). We also know

liquid forms of excitotoxins are significantly more toxic because of

rapid absorption and higher blood levels. In the face of this

connection between excitotoxicity and the pathophysiology of MS, it

would be ludicrous to allow further use of this excitotoxin

containing sweetener..

" The possible mechanisms include formaldehyde-induced protein changes

and increased leukotrienes, 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, and

other arachidonic acid metabolites after the exposure of macrophages

to aspartame (Hardcastle l997). "

TREATMENT FOR MS: " It is now known the cause for the destruction of

the myelin in the lesions is over activation of the microglia in the

region of the myelin. An enzyme that converts glutamine to glutamate

called glutaminase increases tremendously, thereby greatly increasing

excitotoxicity. Mercury also activates microglia, even in subtoxic

doses.

" Any dietary excitotoxin can activate the microglia, thereby greatly

aggravating the injury. This includes the aspartate in aspartame. The

methanol adds to this toxicity as well. Now, the secret to treatment

appears to be shutting down, or at least calming down, the microglia.

" It has been found that the antibiotic minocycline powerfully shuts

down the microglia. I tried this treatment on a friend of mine who

just came down with fulmanant MS. He was confined to a wheelchair. I

had him placed on minocycline and now, just a few weeks later, he is

walking.

" The good news is that other things also calm the microglia-the most

potent are: silymarin, curcumin and ibuprophen. Phosphatidylcholine

helps re-myelinate the nerve sheaths that are damaged, as does B12,

B6, B1, vitamin D, folate, vitamin C, natural vitamin E (mixed

tocopherols) and L-carnitine. DHA plays a major role in repairing the

myelin sheath. Vitamin D may even prevent MS, but it acts as an

immune modulator, preventing further damage - the dose is 2000 IU a

day. Magnesium, as magnesium malate, is needed in a dose of 500 mg 2X

a day. They must avoid all excitotoxins, even natural ones in foods-

such as soy, red meats, nuts, mushrooms and tomatoes. Avoid all

fluoride and especially all vaccinations since these either inhibit

antioxidant enzymes or triggers harmful immune reactions.

DR H. J. ROBERTS - on aspartame...

DR H. J. ROBERTS in 1984 was recognized as " The Best Doctor in the

United States " by the medical journal Practice 84. In his files are

the case histories of more than 1,200 case histories of aspartame

victims, having treated them in the trenches of medical practice.

This compelled him to write three books on aspartame toxicity,

including the monumental 1,000+ page medical text, Aspartame Disease,

An Ignored Epidemic. Consider these excerpts from that medical

text:http://www.sunsentpress.com or 1 . Here is what he

says:

" No patient suspected of having multiple sclerosis who consumes

aspartame products should have the diagnosis finalized until being

observed many months after abstaining from them. More than 50

aspartame reactors had presumed multiple sclerosis. Dozens of case

reports validate the Doctor's notation of what could be called 'sham

MS " . Aspartame disease whole neurologic features are accompanied by

visual symptoms. "

" emphasis upon this issue is greatly significant in view of

recent consensus statements recommending vigorous drug intervention

therapy for early MS including patients with " clinically isolated

syndromes " such as an attack of optic neuritis. These agents -

including interferon beta 1b, interferon beta 1, and glatiramer

acetate - can have serious side effects. then says:

'several diagnostic pitfalls are emphasized. For example, the finding

of minor abnormalities in a few small areas by a CT scan or MRI

studies is NOT necessarily diagnostic of multiple sclerosis (see Case

IV-19). The engineer-father of a young female aspartame reactor who

had been misdiagnosed as having MS carefully scrutinized the

available medical and biochemical literature, including the

alteration of myelin after injection of synthetic peptides.

" I am identifying aspartame as a possible causal factor of central

nervous system problems because of the inexplicable outbreak of MS-

like symptoms across the nation. Can aspartame be initiating a

chemical process in the body that could subsequently produce some of

the same symptoms that would otherwise be attributed to MS?

" Can aspartame cause the body to attack its own myelin, thereby

generating CNS lesions and MS-like effects in people that could be

mistakenly diagnosed as MS? Perhaps the molecular mimicry premise

provides the key to understanding MS. "

" The selective localization of lesions in multiple sclerosis requires

comment. I have attributed them in large measure to energy (glucose)

deprivation and fluid retention within the central nervous system

( l966b,c). Aspartame disease involves both, as well as direct

neurotoxicity. Indeed, aspartame-induced dysfunction of nerve cells

and their axons may have greater importance than myelin changes.

'significant biochemical differences are known to exist in various

central tracts, even though they may appear identical histologically.

The concentration of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, for

example, is three to four times greater in the heavily myelinated

central tracts than the lightly myelinated ones, whereas the reverse

applies for glutamic aspartic transaminase (McDougal l961, l964).

" This orientation is germane because fluid retention is enhanced by

the hyperinsulized state (Chapter XIV) and impaired water metabolism

(Chapter IX-F). The ingress of water into myelin can disrupt its

intermolecular cohesion and functional integrity (Vanderheuvel l964).

" An autoimmune response may be triggered by aspartame

" The possible mechanisms include formaldehyde-induced protein changes

and increased leukotrienes, 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, and

other arachidonic acid metabolites after the exposure of macrophages

to aspartame (Hardcastle l997). "

Note from Dr. Betty i, D.Hum:

Cori Brackett, co-owner of Sound and Fury Productions, an MS victim,

was a heavy user of diet drinks laced with the addictive

excitoneurotoxic carcinogenic drug, aspartame. She was in a

wheelchair and could hardly talk, and then began to take

responsibility for her own health by doing research. She had a huge

lesion in her brain. She went through a lot, but eventually off the

toxin, she walked out of her wheelchair. Eight months later her huge

lesion all but disappeared. Because of what she had endured from

aspartame disease she felt a moral obligation to warn others,

especially with 70% of the population and 40% of our children using

this deadly toxin.

Cori Brackett traveled 7000 miles and with 25 hours of footage

produced the movie, 'sweet Misery: A Poisoned World.'

(http://www.amazon.com/ ) She says it reveals one of the most

pervasive, insidious forms of corporate negligence in the history of

the industrial revolution. You will get to see the world famous

aspartame experts, as well as hear the horror story of the victims.

See Diane Fleming who is wilting in a Virginia prison because her

athlete husband died of aspartame. Aspartame experts have given

affidavits to this effect. She was sentenced to 30 and 20 years for

the crime committed by the manufacturer who had the malice to market

a poison. Don't miss this film. You can contact Cori at cori @

soundandfury.tv

Since the release of Sweet Misery Cori has released a sequel with

even more MS victims including Roxanne Armes and Kim .

These type of Aspartame precipitated cases have come in for years:

Joyce of Stockbridge, Georgia was also diagnosed with MS: Her

husband wrote: " No words can describe the agony and horror my

sweet Joyce endured. The poison destroyed her brain, ravaged all her

organs and blinded her. The manufacturer considered her death an

acceptable cost of business. I'm a man without a wife because the

NutraSweet Co is a business without a conscience. Take dead serious

the warnings you will hear. The life you save may be yours! " Today

is a member of the volunteer force of Mission Possible

Intl, carrying the dream and mission of Joyce. It was too late and

she lost her life warning the world with her last breath.

Ermelle ez was in her last year of medical school when she was

diagnosed with MS. She was a heavy user of aspartame. Barely able to

walk she was about to use a wheelchair. She was fortunately given Dr.

paper on MS or Aspartame Disease? - and referred to us. She

had a large lesion in her brain and was seen by neurosurgeon Dr.

Blaylock. Today she is fine and her lesion has disappeared.

But she lost her medical career and was never able to have children.

She did know that aspartame is an endocrine disrupting product that

stimulates prolactin, changes the menses and causes infertility.

Ermelle lives in California working as a science teacher and is

Mission Possible LA.

For years physicians have written the MS Society to alert them about

aspartame. Faced with the choice of warning the public or continuing

to receive funding from industry, the MS Society has chosen to

sacrifice the victims. And when those responsible to solve the

problem ARE the problem it is a sad commentary on greed and lack of

concern for humanity. How can anyone set aside professional ethics to

allow an MS holocaust, when simply alerting those with MS to avoid

aspartame and other excitotoxins could save the lives of thousands?

http://www.proliberty.com/observer/20070408.htm The Idaho Observer,

http://www.idaho-observer.com publishes the Artificially Sweetened

Times, 24 page booklets for distribution on aspartame including MS.

Conclusion...

A complete epidemiological study on MS and aspartame should be done.

After more than a quarter of a century it's well documented, as you

see above, that aspartame can precipitate MS. Unless victims are

warned they can only get worse or lose their life like in the case of

Joyce . When I lectured for the World Environmental Conference,

and an email made world news that discussed MS, many of these victims

who read the post got off aspartame and walked out of wheelchairs.

the conference was even held.

Response to Article on MS and Aspartame Why don't these regulatory

agencies like the FDA get it? If they are in collusion with these

murderous manufacturers, then why is there no hue and cry in the USA

congress and in other nations?

I tried to get a UN Resolution introduced in 2006 to create a new

Undersecretary General for Nutrition to counter the mendacious

manipulation of firms like Ajinomoto and Coca Cola and their front

groups like Calorie Control Council. The details are at my site:

www.unitednationsundersecretarygeneralfornutrition.org.

Unfortunately, the top brass at The UN, last year anyway (Kofi n,

Barcena, and Mark Malloch Brown) basically ignored this

crisis, and I don't know that Ban Ki Moon is going to be any

diffferent!

When we pitched an outright ban of

Aspartame/methanol/formaldehyde/diketopiperazine to the New Mexico

Legislature in 2006 and in 2007, the corporate lobbyists cut forth

with a piteous yowl about constitutional issues, and manipulated the

comatose legislators into a peaceful acquiescence to such nonsense

as: " if it were really that bad, the FDA would have gotten rid of

it! " Yeah, right..... When enough (how many is enough?) bodies pile

up from aspartame, these corporations will get sued, and badly. That

may be the only hope, ultimately. I commend you, Mr. Bolen, for

posting this great article by Betty i, and hope that you will

see the merit in subsequently posting my article on Resolving the

Growing Crisis at the FDA. Thank you,

MSG IN MOST COFFEE

The food additive MSG (Mono-Sodium Glutamate) is a slow poison. MSG

hides behind 25 or more names, such as " Natural Flavouring. "

MSG is even in your favourite coffee from Tim Horton's and other

brand-name coffee shops!

I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive

obesity epidemic, and so did a friend of mine, Erb.

He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario,

Canada, and spent years working for the government. He

made an amazing discovery while going through scientific journals for

a book he was writing called The Slow Poisoning of America.

In hundreds of studies around the world, scientists were creating

obese mice and rats to use in diet or diabetes test

studies. No strain of rat or mice is naturally obese, so scientists

have to create them. They make these creatures

morbidly obese by injecting them with MSG when they are first born.

The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas

creates, causing rats (and perhaps humans) to become obese. They even

have a name for the fat rodents they create: " MSG-Treated Rats. "

When I heard this, I was shocked. I went into my kitchen and checked

the cupboards and the refrigerator. MSG was in

everything -- the 's soups, the Hostess Doritos, the Lays

flavored potato chips, Top Ramen, Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper,

Heinz canned gravy, Swanson frozen prepared meals, and Kraft salad

dressings, especially the " healthy low-fat " ones.

The items that didn't have MSG marked on the product label had

something called " Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, " which is

just another name for Monosodium Glutamate.

It was shocking to see just how many of the foods we feed our

children everyday are filled with this stuff. MSG is hidden

under many different names in order to fool those who read the

ingredient list, so that they don't catch on. (Other names for

MSG are " Accent, " Aginomoto, " " Natural Meat Tenderizer, " etc.)

But it didn't stop there.

When our family went out to eat, we started asking at the restaurants

what menu items contained MSG. Many employees, even

the managers, swore they didn't use MSG.

But when we ask for the ingredient list, which they grudgingly

provided, sure enough, MSG and Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein were

everywhere.

Burger King, Mc's, 's, Taco Bell, every restaurant -- even

the sit-down eateries like TGIF, Chili's,

Applebee's, and Denny's -- use MSG in abundance. Kentucky Fried

Chicken seemed to be the WORST offender: MSG was in every chicken

dish, salad dressing. and gravy.

So why is MSG in so many of the foods we eat? Is it a preservative,

or a vitamin?

Not according to my friend Erb. In his book The Slow Poisoning

of America, he said that MSG is added to food for the

addictive effect it has on the human body.

Even the propaganda website sponsored by the food manufacturers lobby

group supporting MSG explains that the reason

they add it to food is to make people eat more.

A study of the elderly showed that older people eat more of the foods

that it is added to. The Glutamate Association

lobbying group says eating more is a benefit to the elderly, but what

does it do to the rest of us?

" Betcha can't eat just one, " takes on a whole new meaning -

overweight!

The MSG manufacturers themselves admit that it addicts people to

their products. It makes people choose their product

over others, and makes people eat more of it than they would if MSG

wasn't added.

Not only is MSG scientifically proven to cause obesity, it is an

addictive substance. Since its introduction into the American food

supply fifty years ago, MSG has been added in larger and larger doses

to the pre-packaged meals, soups, snacks, and fast foods we are

tempted to eat everyday.

The FDA has set no limits on how much of it can be added to food.

They claim it's safe to eat in any amount. But how can

they claim it's safe when there are hundreds of scientific studies

with titles like these:

" The monosodium glutamate (MSG) obese rat as a model for the study of

exercise in obesity. " Gobatto CA, Mello MA, Souza CT, Ribeiro IA. Res

Commun Mol Pathol Pharmacol. 2002.

" Adrenalectomy abolishes the food-induced hypothalamic serotonin

release in both normal and monosodium glutamate-obese

rats. " Guimaraes RB, Telles MM, Coelho VB, Mori C, Nascimento CM,

Ribeiro. Brain Res Bull. 2002 Aug.

" Obesity induced by neonatal monosodium glutamate treatment in

spontaneously hypertensive rats: An animal model of multiple

risk factors. " Iwase M, Yamamoto M, Iino K, Ichikawa K, Shinohara N,

Yoshinari Fujishima. Hypertens Res. 1998 Mar.

" Hypothalamic lesion induced by injection of monosodium glutamate in

suckling period and subsequent development of

obesity. " Tanaka K, Shimada M, Nakao K Kusunoki. Exp Neurol. 1978 Oct.

No, the date of that last study was not a typo; it was published in

1978. Both the " medical research community " and

" food manufacturers " have known about the side effects of MSG for

decades.

Many more of the studies mentioned in Erb's book link MSG to

diabetes, migraines and headaches, autism, ADHD, and even Alzheimer's.

So what can we do to stop the food manufactures from dumping this

fattening and addictive MSG into our food supply and causing the

obesity epidemic we now see?

Several months ago, Erb took his book and his concerns to one of

the highest government health officials in Canada.

While he was sitting in the government office, the official told

him, " Sure, I know how bad MSG is. I wouldn't touch the stuff. "

But this top-level government official refuses to tell the public

what he knows.

The big media doesn't want to tell the public either, fearing issues

with their advertisers. It seems that the fallout

on the fast food industry may hurt their profit margin. The food

producers and restaurants have been addicting us to their

products for years, and now we are paying the price for it. Our

children should not be cursed with obesity caused by an addictive

food additive.

But what can I do about it? I'm just one voice! What can I do to stop

the poisoning of our children, while our governments

are insuring financial protection for the industry that is poisoning

us?

This message is going out to everyone I know in an attempt to tell

you the truth that the corporate-owned politicians and media won't

tell you.

The best way you can help to save yourself and your children from

this drug-induced epidemic is to forward this article to

everyone. With any luck, it will circle the globe before politicians

can pass the legislation protecting those who are poisoning us.

The food industry learned a lot from the tobacco industry. Imagine if

big tobacco had a bill like this in place before someone blew the

whistle on nicotine?

If you are one of the few who can still believe that MSG is good for

us and you don't believe what Erb has to say, see

for yourself. Go to the National Library of Medicine at

www.pubmed.com.

Type in the words " MSG Obese " and read a few of the 115 medical

studies that appear.

We the public do not want to be rats in one giant experiment and we

do not approve of food that makes us into a nation of obese,

lethargic, addicted sheep, feeding the food industry's bottom line

while waiting for the heart transplant, the diabetic-induced

amputation, blindness, or other obesity-induced, life-threatening

disorders.

With your help we can put an end to this poison.

Do your part in sending this message out by word of mouth, e-mail, or

by distribution of this printout to your friends all

over the world and stop this " Slow Poisoning of Mankind " by the

packaged food industry.

Blowing the whistle on MSG is our responsibility, so get the word out.

Swinton New York journalist at a banquet (1880's): " What folly

is this, toasting an independent press? There is no such thing, at

this date of the World's history, in America, as an independent

press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares

to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand

that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my

honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you

are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who

would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the

streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to

appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my

occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to

destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at

the feet of Mammon [biblical ref.], and to sell his country and his

race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it,

and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the

tools and vassals of " rich men " [biblical ref.] behind the scenes. We

are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our

talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of

other men. We are intellectual prostitutes. "

" The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a

conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists " . -- J. Edgar

Hoover, FBI Director 1924-1972, quoted in The Elks Magazine (August

1956). " It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its

[corrupt feudal] government. " -- Paine. " Each of you, for

himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak " . --

Mark Twain. " The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace

and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic

than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than

bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies all who question its

methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the

Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two,

the one at my rear is my greatest foe. " -- President Abraham

Lincoln. " In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a

revolutionary act. " -- Orwell.

" It is perfectly possible for a man to be out of prison, and yet not

free - to be under no physical constraint and yet to be a

psychological captive, compelled to think, feel and act as the

representatives of the national state, or of some private interest

within the nation, wants him to think, feel and act. " The nature of

psychological compulsion is such that those who act under constraint

remain under the impression that they are acting on their own

initiative. The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is

a victim. To him the walls of his prison are invisible, and he

believes himself to be free. That he is not free is apparent only to

other people. His servitude is strictly objective. " Brave New World

Revisited, Aldous Huxley, 1958

Thanks Heidi. These articles solved a mystery for me. My homeopathic doctor

tested me for allergens and sensitivities (4 years ago). I was told that

tomatoes were not allowed anymore, but not why. Now I know it's because they

are excitotoxins! The store bought tomatoes bring me to my knees, but I had

some garden grown ones this summer (that were wonderful) and they didn't bother

me at all. I thought it was because of pesticides, maybe. Why take the chance?

I ate my last tomato in September 2007!
