Did I get this wrong or did Dr. Blaylock say that when taking glutamine supplement, it will change to glutamate in your brain and cause damage?

I think the l-glutamine issue is one of degree. It is not absolute in stimulating the brain.
What Dr. Blaylock said: 1) MSG is an inorganic rapidly acting substance. Organic glutamates in food (and I would include glutamine) have to be metabolized, so that slows its actions down considerably. This pathway of glutamate metabolism is an example of how complex it can be: http://www.genome.jp/kegg-bin/show_pathway?map00471 2) One statistic he did not give but implied, is the fact that glutamate is everywhere in the body. In fact up to 70% of neurotransmission is glutamate based in the brain. What is toxic about it is when cells are damaged/burst in trauma or stroke and glutamate escapes from the cells and destroys tissue around them. Many foods we eat naturally are high in glutamates. Parmesan cheese is one of the highest. But this is organically bound glutamate unless altered by food processing in some artificial way. We over at the PN forum avoid MSG all the time. For people with pain, MSG is a trigger for MORE pain. Thanks for the link to this video. I'll be putting it up at PN here, where we can all use it. I always enjoy Dr. Blaylock MD.

<What is toxic about it is when cells are damaged/burst in trauma or stroke and glutamate escapes from the cells and destroys tissue around them.>
How about chemical trauma as in PD death of cells that we hear about? Wouldn't they release glutamate? Wouldn't we add to that with supplements? There is so much conflicting info about PD and nutrition; I'm looking for what's best for me. P.S. I have a black cat with same face as yours but green eyes and...a white heart on her belly.

"Those who are hypersensitive to monosodium glutamate should use L-Glutamine with caution, as the body metabolizes Glutamine into glutamate."
http://www.naturalhealthweb.com/articles/esparza1.html I suspect this is why I didn't feel good with it. Very sensitive. |

it's all a matter of balance. one of the latest "FACTOIDS" to come out is that wheat is bad for you. so white bread is bad for u and wheat is bad. we should be eatin brown rice, white is worthless nutritionally. And we get our hightest amounts of salt from bread.
so i bought some gluten free potato bread. it wasn't like bread as I was use to but it would be good in a hot roast beef sandwich. l didn't like it. the texture was crumbly and it kind of dsintegrates. can anyone suggest gluten free examplesof common foods. I don't bake bread and will burn the house down tackling those types of baking endeavors' so what foods are gluten free? is there anything one can eat without feeling guity? i'm actually losing my apetitite for ice cream and have only been eating it twice a day

Hi Paula, I like Gillian's french rolls which resemble bagels without holes. They are great toasted. these do not have potato starch, which I do not eat. most of the gluten free breads contain potato starch, so I have not tried them. I found Gillian's at local Whole Foods store. madelyn

thought i 'd start one:
from Blaylock: schwartz:virt MSG Blaylock: exictitotoxins. msg weight of evidence very high transfers to fetus -afects brain dev. kids have been exposed since the 40's added to food to include baby food increasing in japan in virtually everything sodium nitrate doubles the toxicity hidden words for msg= yeast extract they declare no msg but it is there hidden under other names ethics are lacking every cell has an mda receptor and it crosses the bloodbrain barrier- despite literature from companies denying this. Americans don't balance with fresh fruits and veg/ they eat foods that ehnance msg. canned good. Glutamate is in tomatoes but released slowly/ MAGNESIUM, prudamate???? glutmate can be fought with defensive eating.

How about cutting out most grains anyway? That is what Dr. Wahls did and her MS disappeared, I've posted before about it. She also cut dairy, sugar...I think her only "grains" were oats (incredibly good for us) quinoa (just like rice but better and incredibly nutritious in terms of minerals, google it and see....red and black quinoa are more flavorful IMHO than the white), amaranth, she added rice back in later in moderation. We have tried cutting wheat and it does make a difference. It is very hard to do, since we have been used to eating wheat in some form at most every meal....most breakfast cereals have wheat in them (or worse, corn, which is probably GMO unless organic), sandwich for lunch, rolls with dinner or something breaded, fried, etc. Now it's oats for breakfast every morning with some form of nut except the weekend, if kids complain, it's fruit w/w/out yogurt...you get the idea. It IS hard to cut wheat back so much, but I will attest that we all feel better. Cutting the wheat and subsituting veggies as Dr. Wahls did is even better, a double win. It gets easier once you get used to it and after about a week, honestly, you don't crave that starchy bread at all anymore. You can have some, just not every day, and certainly not at every meal. Now when I see bread I feel hollow, and don't want it at all. I am working now on incorporating quinoa into our diet more, it's a nutritional powerhouse. We substituted it for wheat in an online tabbouleh recipe and it was delicious, I never liked tabbouleh much but made with guinoa it was awesome. The great thing is that with the internet, you can type in the main ingredient you want to use, and do a search to find ways to eat it. The quinoa is rinsed, and then cooked just like rice, in a 2:1 with water ratio. Then use it anywhere you would rice (which is actually not very nutritious to begin with) and see if you feel a difference. Let us know if you cut back on wheat and how you feel. |

LFAC,
I would just love to make quinoa a diet staple, but it is so stinking expensive!! Do you buy it locally...I will check Amazon since they seem to have best prices on everything...just thought you may know of a good Internet source for buying? Laura |
