What treatments are you on so the antibiotics don't destroy your digestive

track? Are you taking acidopholus? Are you being treated for yeast? Are

you eating sugar, which can irritate any yeast problem you may be

experiencing? Yeast causes havoc with digestion and many other things. I

think the treatment I receive for yeast has been as beneficial to me as the

Lyme treatment. After having been bit on 3 separate occasions and having

this disease for 12 years, I really don't think I would be as well off as I

am with the yeast treatment and the various vitamin and mineral supplements I

take. Make sure your doctor treats the entire picture, not just the Lyme.

Since being treated for both Lyme and yeast since November, my liver function

studies have all returned to normal.

I am curious if anyone else is receiving aggressive yeast therapy?

Peace, Helen

[Guest guest]

I just started taking it, but I read on the Lyme NG that it helps the liver

clean itself. Won't know for sure whether it works til my next set of blood

tests, if then.

Dear Val,

I get some of the same reactions from other drugs. Most recently Biaxin and

Flagyl. Ugh. For me right now it seems like a combo of die-off and

nerve/brain irritation.

Some thoughts. Alkalize, alkalize, alkalize. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

Do some slow relaxed breathing every now and then.

Let us know how it goes.

Wishing you the best,

Deanna

Sorry for the length of this message, however, it's really important

information.

MSG (a slow poison)

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, 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. 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 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 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.

I too, would like to make a statement of support for Zahavi. When I first came to this group about 6 weeks ago, he pointed me in directions with his short messages that no one else did or could. All have been helpful. Those sites have immensely broadened my understanding as to what is happening for me health wise. He has a wealth of information.
