    So would you say that taking these medications several times a day....for life....would be safe?? If you eat an American diet you are essentially doing this. Having "a little" MSG for breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner....everyday...for life. Every meal...every day.

    Actually naturally occurring glutamates are not neurotoxins. MSG is something you get when you take what is natural and process it into something which is NOT natural. The body handles these two chemicals in a completely different way. An example would be a leaf from a cocoa plant. People make drinks with these and there is no harm in it. However, when...

    The problem with this is that everyone has a different "threshold". This is due largely to genetics but many other factors weigh in on how well a persons body is going to handle these toxins. I dont think small amounts of MSG would have a severe impact....however, when we are talking about processed foods....we are not talking about small amounts. We...

    Cool...anyone is welcome to join in. I notice some people dont stick around too long... Do you think I'm scaring them with my looong scientific posts??
  5. Rachel--24
    Yeah...dont tell noone k??!!!

    Yeah...I'm pretty sure thats what happened. It all caught up to me. I had read that when you take it most of the metals that are picked up by the NDF get excreted in your first two urines. I guess I thought that I would be peeing it all out and I could just take how ever much I wanted without reacting. Yeah...I know....dumb logic. ...

    Andrea...you're right...and boy did I have MOOD changes! I thought you might worry...I was tired last night but wanted to post. I am soooooo much better today. I'm back to normal I think. At least I seem to recover pretty quickly. Yeah....Lets put this past week behind us! Ok...now I'm going to have to start worrying...

    Carla....I'm pretty sure that IS her!! My mom told me last night that it wasnt one person who flew her over here....that Denise had said a bunch of people had gotten together on this and payed for it. I guess I wasnt listening too well. Anyways that is WAY cool of the folks on LymeNET. Its even more special that a whole group of strangers...

    Most people eating a standard American diet are eating MSG all day long.....I think that was the point that HF was trying to make in her earlier post. To me it doesnt matter whether or not its in its "purest" form. MSG is MSG...its still a neurotoxin. Neurotoxins have an accumulative affect on the body.....this means that all of the neurotoxins have...

    When I was doing whatever research I could on MSG I learned that the Govt. funded studies were manipulated. Some people were given MSG and otheres were given a "placebo". When many of the people who were given the placebo complained of headache or other symptoms....the study apparantly "proved" that MSG couldnt be blamed for these symptoms. Guess what...

    I went to BioSET tonight and the place was pretty busy. I didnt even have a seat in the waiting room. My mom drove me since I was "carless" so she was there for my appt. Dr. D. is in town!! Her and Scott were both there seeing patients. Only 2 more days till its my turn!! I cant wait...I'm sooo excited. Donna...I have been corresponding...

    I didnt post much the last couple days cuz apparantly 6 drops of NDF is too much. I had some kind of "meltdown" yesterday. I'm not sure exactly what happened. It was on Saturday that I made the big leap from having been on 3 drops for only 2 days and then up to 6 drops. I felt fine until Tuesday night when I had bad dreams and was waking...

    Its still looking alot like Spring where I'm at.....I dont expect it to last though.
  14. Rachel--24
    The only "fact" I'm throwing out is that MSG is a neurotoxin. It is what it is. As far as anything else....I've done my homework and come to my own conclusions.
  15. Rachel--24
    Actually, if you reread the posts they state that noone disputes that MSG is a neurotoxin. Your 30 second search did not disprove this fact. Here is an incomplete list of some examples of neurotoxins 1) Heavy metals: such as mercury, lead, cadmium and aluminium. 2) Biotoxins: such as tetanus toxin, botulinum toxin (botox), ascaridin (from intestinal...

    Umm...this site is from the FDA. I wouldnt exactly call this "unbiased". They certainly arent gonna gonna say the truth.....which is that MSG is extremely harmful. The studies which have been done do show that MSG is harmful and damges the brain. The evidence is out there....I've done alot of research on the subject. I wouldnt stop at a 30 second...

    Since my car is broke....tomorrow I will not be able to come home for lunch.....I will have to PACK a lunch!!! Today was the last day of employee appreciation week....it was "pizza day". I almost ate pizza today.
  18. Rachel--24
    Guess what... Yesterday I posted about new cars and today my car BROKE on the way to Whole Foods!! I think it might be sign. My car overheated...it started smoking....the needle was all the way to HOT. I called AAA....got it towed....will find out more tomorrow. I think the radiator hose broke or something. My car needs maintenance...

    ROFL!! Donna....what are you trying to say?? I'm thinking horrific might be a little extreme....even for me. I'm thinking more along the lines of HEINOUS....my reactions are a true heinosity. Horrific = scary and visible to others (who become horrified witnessing the reaction) Heinous= tortuous and painful and not visible...

    Lisa, If you have real bad Candida you could easily become very sensitive to molds as well as yeasts. This is what happened to me and I always get worse trying to eat veggies. After finally learning it was from molds I am now eating frozen vegies with much better luck. I cant eat any sulfur foods so that leaves out things like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower...

    Parents are usually able to identify problems with Autism before the age of 2....I would think if your kids are developing normally they should be fine. I'm not one who believes Autism is caused *solely* by the mercury in vaccines. I think there are other factors involved which make the child more susceptible to the mercury in the vaccinations. I think...

    I lost alot of weight before starting the diet and once I went off gluten I ended up losing alot of water weight too....I ended up really skinny for awhile. I didnt need to lose any weight before all that happened.

    Any Dr. can order the test....however not every Dr. can interperet the results correctly. Lyme is tricky in just about every way...including the testing. There is no test that can completely rule out Lyme at this time....there is no completely reliable test. Igenix is the best available but still not a perfect test. Lyme is still primarily a "clinical...

    I was under the impression that it was being phased out of the vaccines...thats what I'd read on the message boards. One of the people who treats me also treats kids with Autism. She told me that they are not taking thimersol out of the vaccines and the situation with Autism is only going to get worse. The flu shot does contain mercury. She warned me...
