MSG (a slow poison)

Here's an interesting article that that I found in my in-box:


The food additive MSG (Mono-Sodium Glutamate) is a slow poison. MSG hides behind 25 or more names, such as Natural Flavoring." MSG is even in your favorite coffee from Tim Horton's and Starbucks coffee shops!

I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive
obesity epidemic, and so did a friend of mine, John 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 Campbell'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, McDonald's, Wendy'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. No wonder I loved to eat that coating on the skin -- their secret spice was MSG!

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

Not according to my friend John 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 where MSG
is concerned! And we wonder why the nation is overweight!

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 obe sity." 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 John 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, John Erb took his book and his concerns to one of
the highest government health officials in Canada . While he was sitting in
the go vernment 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=2 0insuring 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 John Erb has to say, see for yourself. Go to
the National Library of Medicine at http://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.

Gluten Free Holiday Meal

After a long time, I actually had the desire to make a holiday meal at home.

Avacodo Shrimp Salad

Roast Turkey

Home made Gluten Free Stuffing

Home made Gluten Free Gravy

Herbed Sweet and White Roast Potatoes

Gluten Free/Dairy Free/Sugar Free Tofu Blueberry Cheesecake

I was extrememly happy with the results. It is still possible to have everything Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free and not compromise on any flavour.

I was thrilled!

Poisoning by Fluoride? ..... .............Another Lie?...........

We have been told over and over again how fluoride is good for us. Here is a video that shows how fluoride causes more harm than good. Now they are putting it in our water. Why do you think I have said over and over again that we live in a toxic environment. It is in our food, in our water, in our air, in our cosmetics. in our clothes and all around us. Here is a video that shows the consequences of fluoride.

The medical profession and pharmaceutical industry will never tell you this because they want you to become ill and have medical issues. These illness keep them in business.

I have installed a water filter in my kitchen which removes all chemicals including chlorine and fluoride and have installed a second filter to make my drinking and food preparation water alkaline. Disease thrives in an acidic environment and by drinking alkaline water, I prevent disease from thriving. The effects of fluoride on many illnesses is shows very clearly in this movie. I even stopped using toothpaste. Most toothpaste has sugar and fluoride and other chemicals that can be absorbed through the gums. I brush my teeth with baking soda. I have no dental problems (in fact I have never had any dental issues) and my teeth and gums are perfectly healthy and clean

More lies from the pharmaceutical industry - more misinformation from the doctors whom we trust - more deception from governments and media who are supposed to help and protect.
Can it get worse?

The evolution of cannibalism

When I watched this video I had tears in my eyes.

What have we become in the name of progress? We really have reduced to nothing but a greed ridden murderous society that thrives on the suffering of others.

What hit me most was that the pharmaceutical industry has killed more people than the wars we have had.

We are just constantly mis-informed, mis-educated and misled down the garden path by these wolves in sheep's clothes, who are ready and willing to devour us.

In my book I have written that these people thrive on illness as it is the illnesses that make them money.
Why does nobody ever question this.
Why does nobody as where all the money that is raised in the name of 'finding a cure' goes?
The organizations that have these fund raisers prey on the victims of disease and their families.
Despite my illness, I never contribute to any of these fund raisers. I used to in the past but I now question everything.

It is quite sad how cannibalism has evolved. Wouldn't it be better to be killed and be eaten in an instant than to die this slow death that the pharmaceutical industry imposes on us.

Chelation Treatments

To increase my efforts in detox or heavy metal detox, I have re-commenced a program of chelation.

Chelation therapy is the administration of chelating agents to remove heavy metals from the body. For the most common forms of heavy metal intoxication—those involving lead, arsenic or mercury—the standard of care in the United States dictates the use of dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA).[citation needed] Other chelating agents, such as 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid (DMPS) and alpha lipoic acid (ALA), are used in conventional and alternative medicine.

No approved medical research has found any benefits to chelation therapy for other diseases or ailments. ( Why would they? They want to keep illnesses alive!!!!)

Chelating agents were introduced into medicine as a result of the use of poison gas in World War I Chelation therapy is used as a treatment for acute mercury, iron (including in cases of thalassemia), arsenic, lead, uranium, plutonium and other forms of toxic metal poisoning. The chelating agent may be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, or orally, depending on the agent and the type of poisoning.

My chelation is two fold. Vitamin C and Mineral IV,evey other week week, and, Vitamin C, Glutathione and EDTA, evry other week. So I ge4t one week and the other another week every Monday at the Clinic.

The intravenous chelation has been recommended because I do not do well with an oral chelation. I took DMSA(dimercaptosuccinic acid), an oral chelator, once a week, and it made me very sick. This was because it dislodged so much stuff that my symptoms returned almost ten-fold and I was quite incapacitated.

This chelation I am now taking still made me a little sick yesterday. I was down in the dumps and my timgling because worse but it is still nothing compared to the other one. Of course, I am monitoring the effects and drinking lots of water to help discard the toxins.

I have no idea if this is going to help. I have no idea if anything is going to help but we keep trying.

One thing is for sure, even Dr. Zamboni who discovered the 'Liberation Treatment', knows that it is the metals that make the MS symptoms worse. I completely agree and it is these metals that I am trying to remove.

Let's see what happens!!

Health is a journey, not a destination.....................

CBC showed an interview about the toxicity in the cosmetics we use.

This is my point exactly. the skin (which is the largest organ of the body) absorbs everything we put on it. The cosmetics and fragrances all contain harmful chemicals. We apply these to our skin and the skin absorbs them.

Is it a wonder why we are the sickest population in the history of the world?

What has all the progress in medical science done to us?
Make us more dependent on drugs (more chemicals) so we can suppress symptoms while we continue to poison our bodies?

How can our governments even allow these products to be sold? Do they really care?

We have to be so careful with everything - the food we eat, the air we breath, the water we drink, the clothes we wear and now the cosmetics we wear. This list only mentions what we know contains toxins in our lives.
What else is there?
Why haven't there been more reports on this?
Why is there no on going investigation to protect the population?

Yesterday, on my way to my second doctor, I saw something in a window that caught me eye. i wrote it down straight away.

"Health is a journey, not a destination."

This really rang true for me and I had goosebumps. This is true not just for me, but for all of us. Good health is a journey that we are on for life. Our eating habits, our drinking habits, our social habits, our minds and spirit, the way we treat others, all combine to push us on the journey toward good or bad heallth.

I have considered Stem Cell Therapy and the new "Liberation' treatment. What most people forget is that getting these treatments is not the end of the disease. We still have to fight against the ongoing toxicity of our environment and find out why the ailment arose in the first place. There is a good change of it recurring.
We can add new stem cells to a contaminated cell family but sooner or later, the new cells also get contaminated. We can get the jugular veins widened to ensure that the iron is flowing out of the brain and then we forget to eat right, live right and be right. I know of people who may have done well after these procedures but are now suffering in one way or another. These procedures are not a green light to continue life without considering the effects of the toxicity of our world. Even the so called 'healthy people' have to be worried about this.

It's not that my suffering has ended.I suffer everyday -with my walking, with my fatigue, with my balance, with my emotions , with my fights with God or whatever superpower; the suffering still continues in one way or another.
The whole point is that I am able to do for more that I used to when I was first diagnosed. This is progress. I am not expecting all my symptoms to end after all, Health is a journey, not a destination and this journey shows me how to be good to my body by eating right, wearing right, breathing right, drinking right and also how to be accepting and content and most of all to treat others with the love, respect and patience that I expect.

Welcome to the journey of good health. Fasten you seat belts and please pull your seats to the upright position. I am now on my journey.

Where are you on yours? Is your water clean? Is your air clean? Do you know what is in your food? Do your clothes contain man-made fibres? What cosmetics are you wearing? What do you apply on your body?

So many unaswered questions............................

What? A connection between pollution and breast cancer????

Is it not quite amazing that the so called 'experts' have suddenly realized the connection between disease and toxicity???

What truly astonishes me is how the medical field will not acknowledge the fact that the toxicity of our environment has a lot to do with the increase in illness in man.

Here we are in 2010, so concerned about the environment, knowing the havoc we have caused, and making great attempts to make our homes, our cities and our lives greener; but there is complete ignorance of how the toxicity of environment and the toxicity of additives like high fructose corn syrup, preservatives and pesticides in our foods, cause havoc in our bodies.

Aren't our priorities slightly misplaced?

Yesterday, in my doctor's office I read something that struck a chord.
One of the Laws of the 'Direction of Cure' states that healing occurs from within outwards. If that is the case, then what are we doing taking tons of medication to suppress symptoms when we can try and find reasons for an ailment and treat it? What are we doing poisoning our bodies with toxins, whether environmental or man- made?

Why are are we so focused on just 'superficial healing'?

One of the things my doctor does is regular testing to check my blood, my digestion, my liver and internal organs. The healing begins when the troubled areas are targeted and the problem(s) will then, either be reduced or solved. My diet changes, my treatments change and what needs fixing gets fixed.
This, along with heavy detox and constantly monitoring to ensure that no toxins of any form are part of my diet or life, has helped to prevent all the other issues that make my MS worse and/or progress.

Is it a wonder why I have not had any relapses or attacks for the past three years? Is it a wonder why I have had no new lesions since my first MRI in 2006?

The medical profession and the governments need to realize this rather then spending trillions of dollars on symptomatic cures and raising funds looking for cures while the treatment approaches that actually work and help patients, stare us in the face.

I have good news and bad news. Now that they have acknowledged, in one way or another, that toxicity(whether pollution or any other form), 'may' cause illness, what are they doing about it?
What is the medical profession going to do about it?
What is the government going to do about it?

So many unanswered questions.................................
