This MAY explain why, when I'm extremely itchy, the SFN in my hands and feet is worse?
Thoughts?
ADDITION:
Found this on CNN.com ( http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/diet.fitne.../msg.avoiding/)
"Sufferers of MSG's effects are not experiencing an "allergy." Instead, they are experiencing the results of direct nerve stimulation and possible nerve damage, although the latter has not been verified in humans. Emergency room physician George R. Schwartz, author of "In Bad Taste: The MSG Symptom Complex," says MSG is a "neurotoxin," a substance that actually induces nerve changes and possible nerve damage. " |
There is some evidence that MSG reactions can be blocked by Vitamin B6. It is not a "cure", but is supposed to help.
MSG is an non organically bound form of glutamate which floods the nervous system and supposedly stimulates the NMDA receptors. Glutamates attached to organic molecules found in food, are metabolized more slowly. (Parmesan cheese is very high in natural glutamate).
Glutamate is a neurotransmitter in the brain...70% of all nervous transmissions involve it. It can in high amounts cause seizures in animals and people. Humans need glutamine/glutamate for development.
Human breast milk is 10 times higher than cow's milk.
I hate MSG myself!
