Jun. 15, 2009 - MSG is dangerous to your family
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, Progresso, 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....and so many more.
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 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 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 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 John 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.
Feb. 21, 2009 - Super Cheap & Easy Great Tasting Meals
I wish I had pictures of these family favorite meals, but I will go ahead and post them anyway. Here they are:
Grandma's Pineapple Rice Chicken for a large family (cut in half for smaller family)
One bag of frozen chicken breasts without skin or bone
2 cans of pineapple wuth juice (ring cut)
1 Tbs. of Worchestershire sauce
2 Tbs. brown sugar (or you can easily just use 1 Tbs.)
salt and pepper to taste
Bake this until done. Put some rice in a steamer or cook at least three cups according to directions. Place cooked chicken and juices over a bed of rice.
Easy Chicken Casserole
1/2 cup of cut celery
1/2 cup of cut onion
1 tsp. pimentos
1 can of mushroom soup
1 tsp. Worchestershire sauce
1 cup of rice
1 cup of lowfat milk or water (amount of liquid depends on type of rice is used)
1/2 bag of frozen chicken deboned and deskinned.
Mix ingredients together before adding chicken. Bake covered in a casserole dish until chicken and rice are fully cooked (usually at least forty five mintues depending on type of rice and chicken-thawed or frozen). You can add an extra tsp. of Worchestershire to taste. Also, salt and pepper to taste.
Mexican Pizza Our Style
1 pkg flour tortillas
1 can fat free mexican beans
1 bag of cheddar cheese
green onions chopped finely
lettuce
sour cream
salsa
On a flat stoneware or such, place a flour tortilla down. Then, spread the mashed Mexican beans over it as you would for a sandwich. Next, place cheddar cheese (adults like the chopped green onions after this). Place a final tortilla over the top so it looks like a sandwhich. Stick under broiler. Watch with patience because it browns in just a minute. With a spatulat flip it over and brown other side. Take it out and cut like a pizza. Place on children's plates. Let them add extras such as lettuce, green olives, sour cream, salsa....(as few or more extras as you think they can handle). This is a really cheap yummy meal that cooks up in as fast as ordering pizza over the phone without the price.
Nov. 15, 2007 - Vaccine dangers
I can't believe my ears this morning as I listened to CNN highlighted news on Maryland in which parents who don't vaccinate will be put in jail. This includes the two new vaccines, one of which is the chicken pox vaccine. Aren't we over thirty three vaccines by the early age of kindergarten entry?!! How is it that the health services have the right to decide what is safe for our children? I can't believe that we, as parents will be put in jail if we don't allow these toxins into our children, even if our children react to certain shots, resulting from autism and/or a waiver of death!! Did you know there is a group of doctors who have banned together recognizing the dangers of these shots? The East West Journal says, "Although I administered them my-self during my early years of practice, I have become a steadfast opponent of mass inoculation because of the myriad hazards they present." Did you know that Missouri has so many children getting autism from the shots that some shots, such as the MMR, that it is no longer forced on the parents any longer? Did you know that the federal government has a pot of money set aside for those whose children become autistic or other problems (seizures, mental problems...) because they know (THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS) that children have permanent health problems from the shots? Did you know that I have a speech therapist for my son who's son became autistic immediately after the shot? Did you know that I have a list of five people that I know that have autistic children because of these shots? If you mention this to my pediatrician he says it is a small price to pay for the greater good? Since when are our children guinea pigs?!! My daughter came within six weeks of autism because of the shots until I did some drastic measures. I gave her a hair analysis and her mercury was so high, off the chart that it was almost to the point of death. I still have that hair analysis as we try and get all of the mercury from the shots out of her body, which is a slow process because it is stored in the back of the brain and too much out at once will destroy her liver. Here is my story. Does anyone think it is odd that the pharmaceutical companies have their hand in a money pot with the legislatures and health department, those responsible for making these decisions?!!! Aren't their interests compromised? We are about to celebrate Thanksgiving, our nation's key important holiday in which we remember the sacrifices that these pilgrims and Puritans made to raise their children here in America. Where is our freedom as parents?? Have our legislatures forgotten this? Call the Maryland representatives. Let our voices be heard before the rest of the states try and follow suit. How infuriating!!!! It is not our state's children they are our children. How dare they!!!
Here is a quote from an informative link:
"Most people are unaware of the dangers of childhood vaccinations. In 1998, strong evidence for a link between MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) vaccination and autism and bowel disease in children was announced by UK doctors. In a further study, led by Professor John O’Leary, the measles virus was found in the intestines of 24 out of 25 children who developed ‘autistic enterocolitis. This was after an apparently healthy infancy (31). “The findings raise urgent new concerns over the safety of [the] MMR vaccine – the combined mumps, measles and rubella vaccination given routinely to hundreds of thousands of children every year”. Some of the doctors who discovered the link were warned not to talk to the press about the findings and were shunned by ‘experts’ in the medical research council.
There is no scientific evidence proof that vaccines can be credited with eliminating any childhood disease. Epidemicological research, the study of disease and health in populations, shows that better nutrition, clean water, sanitation and better living conditions are responsible for the drop in disease. Dr.Robert Mendlesohn MD once said “There has never been a single vaccine in this country [the USA] that has ever been submitted to a controlled scientific study. They never took a group of 100 people who were candidates for a vaccine, gave 50 of them a vaccine and left the other 50 alone to measure the outcome. And since that hasn’t been done, that means if you want to be kind, you will call vaccines an unproven remedy. If you want to be accurate, you’ll call people who give vaccines ‘quacks’”(32).
Not only do they possibly not work, there is growing evidence that vaccines possibly cause autism, allergies, epilepsy, learning disorders, ADD, ADHD, asthma, diabetes, dyslexia, hearing problems, vision problems, digestive disorders, stuttering and developmental delays. Many of the conditions associated with the psychic children. Vaccine damage creates inflammation at the base of the brain, which causes the ‘insulation’ or myelin sheath that protects the nerves to dissolve. The brain then short-circuits which affects many bodily functions. Researchers and doctor’s have noticed the similarities of autism and brain dysfunction to toxic poisoning. The toxic substances that linger in vaccines are due to a surprising production procedure. After the ‘live’ virus has been aquired, it must then be attenuated, or weakened for human use. The virus is passed through animal tissue several times to reduce its potency. The polio virus is passed through monkey kidneys; the measles virus is passed through chick embryos; and the rubella virus is passed through the dissected organs of an aborted human foetus! Foreign genetic material that is passed through animal cells can potentially alter our genetic makeup and mutate our DNA.
The weakened virus is then strengthened with antibody boosters and stabilisers. This process uses drugs,antibiotics and toxic disinfectants such as; neomycin, streptomycin, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum hydrochloride, sorbitol, hydrolysed gelatin, formaldehyde and thimerosal (mercury). Microscopic amounts of aluminium, formaldehyde and mercury can lead to cancer, neurological damage and death. But still our children are injected with them.
Unexpected animal viruses can jump the species barrier as well. This happened in the 1950’s and 60’s when millions of people got infected with the SV-40 virus from monkeys. SV-40 is an immunorepressor and trigger for HIV. It is said to create the same symptoms as AIDS, and has been found in brain tumors, leukaemia and various cancers. It is considered a cancer-causing virus. According to Dr.Harris Coulter, nearly 20% of children are neurologically damaged by vaccination (33). Vaccinations are ‘pushed’ on to children in schools and at the doctor’s surgery. There is no scientific proof they actually do what they are supposed to do, so why bother taking them? According to the medical profession and the government, vaccines are essential for children to protect them from diseases, but when we look at the evidence, NOT having vaccinations is the more healthy option. I repeat, there is no scientific proof that vaccinations prevent the diseases they say they do. There is also evidence that vaccines do not stay in the body for very long, as they are supposed to do. So lets look at another side to the debate."
Another great link and quote: "Neurologic diseases increase massively, e.g. autism. Autism is made by damage of the immune system by vaccination and heavy metals."
"It’s obscene to threaten to seize a child just because his parents refuse medical treatment that is obviously unnecessary and perhaps even dangerous," said Dr. Orient. "AAPS believes that parents, with the advice of their doctors, should make decisions about their children’s medical care -- not government bureaucrats. This Resolution affirms that position."
Apr. 15, 2007 - Hope for Those with Autism & ADD - A Vacine Story
Hi, I thought I might share some encouraging words for those with autistic children. Perhaps, my story might help you or someone you know. My oldest daughter started showing signs of autism at the age of six. Here is a story of our experience.
My daughter Hannah is my first child. She was developmentally ahead in every thing. She had a list of 20 vocabulary words at the age of five months (no joke). People would elbow me with a shock and awe that she could speak at that age. If I told anyone how advanced she was they would accuse me that I was exaggerating. That was until they heard her speak for themselves. She was reading at the age of three (very short easy words). She went to the public elementary school at the age of three because she was a bit clumsy or gross motor delayed. She said, on the way home from school, "Mom will you homeschool me because I learn more at home with you than I do at that school". I would have wrecked the car if I had been anywhere but driving through my subdivision because I slammed on my break in disbelief that any three year old would be able to say that. Okay, so you understand that she was well advanced by her age. However, this all drastically changed.
At the age of six years old, suddenly as if someone turned off a switch of lights, Hannah could no longer speak intelligeable. She could no longer easily complete school work. She started struggling in all her studies, falling backwards. She started losing her hair. What was once so easy for her became very difficult. She could no longer write her beautiful passages in her journal. Her writing became a string of mixed up letters. You could see a very rapid spiral downward (I still have all her journals to show this). She could no longer do math so easily. She cried at the frustration. I could no longer understand her words. She would speak worse than my two year old. It was so sad. It was as if she was drifting off into another world. I frantically took her to the doctors with no help. They pointed me to the education dept. As a past elementary teacher, I knew that all they could do was treat the symptoms. I cried out to God.
As if God had placed me in the write place at the right time, I heard a radio broadcast regarding mercury poisoning in children. That struck me like lightening in my spirit. I had Hannah's hair tested. She had alarming toxic levels of mercury in her system. I ordered a product that gets the mercury out by means of the urine (safer than the stool route), the information that I got from the radio. As if someone turned on the switch as quickly as they had turned it off, she immediately started speaking correctly and doing better on her school work. I was shocked at the difference. It was as different as night and day. In reflecting, Hannah had had all her shots with all the mercury additives. I shared this information with my brother in law (who has a Doctorate degree in autisms or special need and whom teaches college courses in New York) and sister in law (Masters in autism and special needs children who works in the school system). They both said that Hannah was about six weeks away from full blown autism. They said that the pharmacutical companies only used mercury because it was the cheapest preservative. For a few pennies more they could have used a different preservative. Greed was the motivator. They were both familiar with all the symptoms and problems that I had alarmed me. I was shocked to learn all of this.
The doctors say that mercury is no longer present in today's shots. However, that is wrong. The MMR shot still has mercury. My speech therapist, for my son, said that her son developed autistic signs immediately after the shots. My girlfriend's friend, a nurse, said the same thing (including a diary of what happened). There is a group of doctors whose children became autistic after the shots who now speak out. Missouri no longer forces their parents to give the MMR shots because of the huge number of autisms experienced after the shot. In fact, there is a fund sitting in Washington for those who develop autism as a result of the shots. That surprised me to find that out. So, mercury can cause autism. Perhaps, not all autism is caused by mercury. But, there is obviously some connection in my experience.
In saying all of this, the product that changed my daughter's health, is Heavy Metal Nano-Detox and Quantum Brain Complex. These together need to be given, the younger the age, the better results (the body metabolizes faster). The phone number for ordering is 800-370-3447. I have heard that it takes years to get the mercury out of a child's body. I read in the Chicago Times that you have to be careful not to extract it too quickly because it is very toxic to the liver. The article also said the sooner you get it out of the body, when the child is young, the better the outcome. I started administering this product to Hannah when she was eight. I was very cautious, too cautious. I only gave her one dose a day. However, the outcome was astonishing. This year, at the age of ten, I doubled the dose. One dose in the morning and one dose in the early afternoon. That really drastically helped more. She is almost back to her old self (academically and health (her hair has grown back..eczema clears up...immune system stronger..)). I will get another hair analysis later this year to see how much mercury is in her system compared to when she started on this product. I expect the results will be impressive. Hannah still experiences some problems. When we ran out of the product, and she was off for a week, she started to again have really bad speech, the old problems started revisiting. So, this product has really helped Hannah. I hope in sharing this I can give some of you hope. I know how scary of an experience I had with my daughter almost becoming autistic. It was a slippery fast down hill spiral that no parent should ever have to experience.
I do not wish to step on any toes with anyone who might have a different experience with autism. I do not mean to say that all autistic children have mercury poisoning. However, it wouldn't hurt to have any child checked for this to rule it out. I would only like to pass on my story to help someone else. The purpose of this blog entry is not to dispute, but to bring hope and help to someone else who might benefit from my experience. My second daughter developed ADD after the shots. She is almost completely well after treatment. Two experiences like this was enough for me. I immediately stopped all vaccinations for the rest of my children. My other four children are incredibly healthy and well. I don't think I will play Russian Roulet with any of their health. My experiences and the experiences of those close to me is enough for me. I don't want anyone else to go through this.
Besides my story, here are many, many more stories about the damage of vaccines. My pediatrician freely admits knowing this but says that it is best for the majority so the minority pay the price. How sad. Try this link:
http://www.vaccinetruth.org/compensation.htm
******************************************************************************************************************
Just a note: It was my pediatrician who informed me that it was the MMR shot that still has the mercury in it. Here is another source that seems to agree with my pediatrician,
" The MMR was said not to contain thimerosal but we found out that Merck DOES use thimerosal in the processing of the MMR, they just do not add it to the vaccine as an ingredient."
http://www.geocities.com/arnfl/vaccine.html
I haven't read this book about vaccines, but I think it is wise not to just get anyone who has monetary interest's interest view on this, such as doctors or those who benefit from the drug companies. Parents need to research this for themselves, and take heed from those of us who have experienced autism.The title of the book, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations.

One more link. Here is a website for doctors against vacines. Isn't it interesting that those who can testify that there is a link between the shots and huge health problems are treated as if our experiences don't matter? Those who oppose the information do so with their opinion as being more weighty than those who have had the experiences. How arrogant for some to dismiss my experience, my speech therapists experience, my girlfriend's friend, and many others. Here is a doctors against shots link: http://www.vaccinetruth.org/doctors_against_vaccines.htm
