The Ubiquitous MSG: How to know if you’re eating an excitotoxin
In Current Health News, Food, Health & Wellness, Informational truth about enzyte on October 31, 2008 at 9:27 pm

Have you ever had stomach cramps, indigestion, or gas after eating Chinese take-out? Do you wonder why it’s so hard to stop eating Doritos once you’ve started munching? Do you suffer from frequent migraine headaches? If so, you may be one of millions of Americans that share allergic sensivitiy to a common food additive, monosodium glutamate.

truth about enzyte

Chinese buffet restaurants like the one above arent the only ones dumping poison into your food. The ubiquitous excitotoxin can be found hidden in the majority of processed foods.

Monosodium glutamate, better known as MSG, is a flavor enhancer composed of the salt of the “non-essential human amino acid”, L-glutamic acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Essential amino acids are those that must be obtained through the diet, because the body cannot synthesize them on its own. Non-essential amino acids, on the other hand, are not a dietary requirement because the body is able to produce them as needed. Glutamic acid is composed of glutamate, which is both a “key molecule in cellular metabolism” and the “most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian nervous system.”

Excitatory is defined by Merriam-Webster’s Online Medical Dictionary as that which “tend[s] to induce excitation (as of a neuron)”. Excitation is further defined as “the disturbed or altered condition resulting from arousal of activity (as by neural or electrical stimulation) in an individual organ or tissue”. So, as an excitatory neurotransmitter, it’s job is to chemically-stimulate the neurons into firing in an excited state.

The neurotransmitter glutamate is believed to be involved in memory and learning in the brain, but is known to be key in removal of nitrogen waste in the body (air is approximately 78% nitrogen). Glutamate naturally occurs (called free glutamates) in tomatoes, milk, mushrooms and sea vegetables like Kombu (seaweed) and can be assimilated quite easily by the body. However, large amounts of glutamate in the system can be problematic as it disrupts the delicate balance in the brain between neurotransmitters that tell the neurons to fire and those that tell the neurons to stop firing.

As an excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate tells the neuron to fire and keep firing. If too much glutamate is in the blood, the neurons continue to fire leading to an overactivation of receptors in the brain which receive the messages. This leads to a condition known as excitoxicity, which results in damage to nerve cells. Excitotoxins like glutamate have been linked to more serious health problems, such as stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis (to name a few). Another excitotoxin related to MSG is aspartame, better known as Nutrasweet or Equal.

The common American trade name for man-made MSG is Accent, which can be found in nearly all supermarkets across the country, as well as in its generic form. The ubiquitousness of MSG is nowhere more apparent than in restaurants and in packaged, processed foods available at the grocery store. Just look - it is in everything. Just don’t stop reading, or you’ll probably not even see it. Because of rising health concerns and related health incidents involving the overconsumption of MSG, product manufacturers have become quite efficient at hiding monosodium glutamate in a surprisingly large amount of products, including those labeled as “No MSG” or “No MSG added”.

The truth is, monosodium glutamate can be found in a number of different ingredients, including the most common: yeast extract, hydrolyzed protein, autolyzed protein and disodium inosinate. If you read your food labels, chances are high you will find one of these ingredients listed. But the deception goes even deeper, because manufacturers are not required to disclose the existence of MSG in individual ingredients listed, such as: “seasonings”, “spice”, soy sauce, protein isolate, textured protein, carageenan, Worcestershire sauce, “natural flavors”, and even malted barley. I challenge you to open your pantry and cupboards and search for any of these ingredients. Chances are, you expose yourself and your family to this excitotoxin many times each and every day and you aren’t even aware of it. Furthermore, if you eat out alot, your chances are very high that you consume large amounts of MSG. For an extensive list of items that contain MSG, click here and here.

The widespread use of MSG in processed foods can make avoiding it very difficult. On the other hand, ignorance about MSG and its effects on the human body might be a large contributor to the many growing health problems Americans suffer from, including our nation’s epidemic obesity. MSG has been linked to cardiac, circulatory, gastrointestinal, muscular, neurological, visual, respiratory, urological and skin problems, including: arrhythmia, angina, palpitations, swelling, diarrhea, irritable bowel, rectal bleeding, joint pain and stiffness, depression, light-headedness, anxiety, mental confusion, hyperactivity, attention deficit, insomnia, seizures, blurred vision, asthma, chest pain, swelling of the prostate, hives, mouth sores and bags under the eyes. For a more complete list of these symptoms, click here.

Some of these symptoms I suffered from quite frequently before I became more conscious of my diet and began eating all natural, organic whole foods. Many times, I didn’t know the cause of my suffering and took over-the-counter medications to ease my discomfort. Yet, as they say, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” By avoiding MSG, I have personally found that I suffer from less migraines, dizzy spells, insomnia and restless leg. It is quite possible that MSG, acting as an excitotoxin, was responsible for much of my previous discomfort. I was astonished at how many foods I was eating that contained one form or another of MSG, even those foods labeled “natural” and deemed more healthy alternatives. Yet still, I will occasionally eat something at a restaurant and suffer some ill effects because of it. My first suspicion is always that MSG is the culprit.

If you suffer from any of the above symptoms and health issues and suspect that MSG might be the cause, you can very easily change your diet to determine this. Just be careful to watch out for all of the ingredients that like to hide MSG in them.

I always appreciate Bob Chapman’s take on the financial situation. His approach, coming from the belief that the different factions of the world Illuminati have engineered this financial fiasco and the subsequent “fixes” of bailouts, injections and interest rate juggling in order to bring America to her knees, is full of hard-hitting opinions based upon many years of experience in international trading. What he sees happening now is a feeding-frenzy of activity in Wall Street, where those with insider information are making a killing, while those “not-in-the-know” are being wiped out. He says this shark smorgasbord will continue and the looming “derivative death-star” will soon wipe out the entire economic system in a spectacular black-hole implosion. Like Neo returning to the source in The Matrix: Revolutions, all debt currently owed by Americans (the Federal Reserve Notes, or FRN’s, you have in your wallet) will be sucked back into the mainframe and all American wealth - except for those “in-the-know”) will be eviscerated.

Now that’s a worst-case scenario. In my experience, the reality of the situation tends to be a lot worse. So, I think that, to exercise due caution, we should heed his warning and begin moving our excess FRN’s to precious metal like gold and silver. I’ve been watching gold the last two years and it has gone up and up. The recent drops are the result of the fed’s manipulations, but they can’t keep a good thing down for long. Gold and silver will eventually skyrocket and will be the safe haven for our wealth in the coming years. If you have a 401(k) or other retirement fund and can suffer a loss to make the move to metals, I think that personally, I would take that loss. The inevitable loss, should one not do anything, will be far greater as all of that wealth is vacuumed back into the mainframe where it never existed in the first place. -DELETE-

This is not a game, nor is this meant to frighten anyone. Move calmly and orderly towards the door. These people want to turn you into slaves and they’ve done a pretty good job of it already. This is just the one-two punch that will bring America to her knees.

Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.

Slaves To The Orgy Of Money

Posted: October 29 2008

Investors on the outside slammed while insiders getting rich, Market conditions indicate you need to protect yourself with gold and silver, Paulson monetary voodoo reanimates zombie fraudster banks, Market crashes set the stage for bank acquisitions, predicting a financial super entity

Down go consumer confidence and real estate values to all-time lows, but, nevertheless, up goes the Dow undaunted, claiming its second largest point gain ever as the counterintuitive insider trading beat goes on and on and on, ad nausea. Insiders get wealthy, and the non-insiders chasing them get annihilated. This has been the story on Wall Street for over a century. Do you think it was merely some sort of serendipitous coincidence that the dark pool of liquidity, known as Project Turquoise, was set to be activated near the end of August, just in time for all the Illuminist insiders to enjoy the profitable fireworks as volatility reached all-time highs, so that all of their nefarious trading could be done in unregulated secrecy? We can assure you that there are no coincidences on Wall Street. There is only rampant, rampaging insider trading and fiendish manipulation.

Any time they think they are in need of a good fleecing, all the poor sheople have to do is get back into the general stock markets where their Illuminist shearers will be more than happy to oblige them. We absolutely guarantee that the pink of your sheople skin will be showing as all your wool is shaved off right down to the hair follicles. You’ve probably heard about “pink flamingos.” Well, now we are going to see a lot of pink sheople wandering around aimlessly, wondering where all their vaporized money went, as they are prepared for the big slaughter while the Big Sting Two goes into its next phase. You need to protect yourself with gold, silver and their now bargain-basement related shares, unless of course the color pink flatters you.

The Dow, powered by its PPT anti-gravity machine, and in the face of some of the worst economic news of all time, still somehow managed to tack on an unbelievable, mind-blowing and stupefying 889.35 points as the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index dropped off a cliff from September’s 61.4 to October’s 38, an all-time low (the “experts” expected 52), as the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-city housing index dropped 16.6 percent in August from a year ago, the largest decline on record going back to 2000, and as the smaller, 10-city index, fell 17.7 percent, the biggest decline in its 21-year history. The last of the wild, PPT-manufactured 700 Dow rally points came in the last two hours of trading as the insiders took advantage of low volume, short-covering and a much weaker yen to give the Dow a blastoff to 9,065.12. Just what you would expect as consumer confidence and real estate prices drop into the toilet for a thorough “swirley.”

Wow, look at them fire up that Goldilocks Matrix as reality is scoffed at, and illusion becomes king, just as Dr. Stan Monteith likes to say as he starts each broadcast for Radio Liberty. We can’t help but envision Jim Nabor’s character, private Gomer Pyle, USMC, exclaiming “surprise, surprise, surprise!” as sergeant Carter’s eye twitches because he has shorted the stock market indexes, while they both watch the Dow soar to over 9,000 points, in total contradiction of all logic and market fundamentals. All we can say is: “Shazam!!!” and “Gaaw-aawl-ly!!!”

Of course, we are told by the fane-stream media that this was “bargain-hunting.” And for the first time ever, they are correct. The Illuminist insiders just got the bargains of a lifetime. The non-insiders also got exactly what they bargained for by staying in the general stock markets, by trying to follow market fundamentals and by trying to chase after the insiders, meaning that they got the fleecing of a lifetime which they should have known was coming just as sure as God made little green apples.

In any case, based on the foregoing, we can now tweak the Wall Street formula for profitability as follows: Profitability = Low Volume + High Volatility + Dark Pools of Liquidity + Plunge Protection Team. The mass exit from the stock markets has reduced trading volume. This makes manipulation much easier and much less expensive as the Illuminati line their pockets with more salary and bonus money, which they will no doubt continue to extract, rape and steal from the insider trading profits of their financial institutions which they have burned to the ground, as Paulson and Bernanke work their monetary voodoo to reanimate these walking dead fraudster banks.

In looking over the financial landscape that has emerged since the private Fed was foisted upon the hapless sheople in 1913, we can see the culling process that has emerged. Remember, Rockefeller and Morgan, the heads of the American branch of the Illuminati, hated one thing more than any other, and that thing was competition. During the Panic of 1907, which was orchestrated by Rockefeller and Morgan so they could force the Federal Reserve System and Income Tax down the throats of the sucker-dupe sheople, many smaller banks were sent down the tubes.

Then came the 1929 Stock Market Crash, orchestrated by the newly formed, and very private, partly foreign-owned and totally non-governmental Fed, and that started a second culling process, mostly of small to mid-size banks, which took out about one third of the banks that were then blossoming in the US based on the wealth accumulations of the Roaring Twenties. This culling occurred throughout the period during the 1930s, which we now refer to as the Great Depression. The big Illuminist concerns of course survived, based on their inside information, as did many of the leading Illuminists of the time.

Banks were then left alone for several decades to help finance World War II and the post-War boom, which was used to consolidate Illuminist wealth and power through their military-industrial complex. Then it was time for a third culling, as deregulation and the sanity of past banking standards were discarded to create the S&L Crisis. Many more small to mid-size banks were vaporized by the excesses created through this deregulation and by the inflation which the Fed malevolently caused to hurt banks by reducing the value of their mortgages and forcing them to compete for higher rates by making crazy loans to third world countries and to other unworthy borrowers, particularly those taking out mortgages. These banks borrowed short and lent long, a sure formula for disaster, and the end result was that some 2,400 small to mid-size banks failed.

Note how all these past orchestrated banking disasters affected mostly the bottom rungs of the banking industry, a flagrant and direct elimination of competition to line the pockets of big banking by taking down the smaller fry. But now, in the current crises, which is, more than anything, a credit/capital-crunch powered by an asset crisis engendered by derivative fraud that was made possible by a real estate bubble and a totally opaque, unregulated OTC market, with the subprime problem being little more than a fuse leading to the main charge in the credit default swap and interest rate swap powder kegs, we see a process of culling and consolidation at the upper echelons of the banking industry. This is by design, although the Illuminati have bungled this one and caused far greater damage than they intended, relying on rocket scientists who do not understand how markets work to design their Ponzi-scheme. The idea here is to first create a handful of mega-banks that are too big to fail so they can milk the banking system a little longer and to make sure that the bailout money keeps coming from the sucker-dupe sheople taxpayers to keep saving and bailing the latest incarnations of the too-big-to-fail fraudster banks.

In the end, all these large banks will come crashing down like a ton of bricks because they are irretrievably insolvent, and then they, along with the privately owned Fed, will be nationalized and merged into one super-entity, which will be given all regulatory power over the financial industry. They will no longer have to kill off the small fry by creating catastrophes. They will simply regulate them out of existence until their banking and financial interests have achieved god-like, dictatorial power. They will allow those who want to play the game by their rules to eke out an existence, while all others get vaporized. Once they control all financial matters with an iron fist, the Constitution will become irrelevant because the people will no longer have any power to exercise except by revolution, and we can assure you that a revolution is going to come, and soon. The arrogant Illuminists are in for a big surprise as they continue with their evil plans to enslave and dominate the sheople in an Orwellian police state of feudality.

The current dichotomy between paper and physical precious metals markets is being caused by an intentional bottleneck at the wholesale level. Wholesale gold and silver is being hoarded to fund precious metal suppression schemes, such as sales and leasing, and to maintain dominance of the commercials in the paper markets by preventing a failure to deliver. In essence, this bottleneck between the wholesale and retail levels of the market in precious metals amounts to a de facto confiscation of gold and silver from the masses.
