Blaylock Wellness Report: Prevention of Seizures: Aspartame, MSG and Splenda are seizure triggering drugs.

[Guest guest]

I have many times told the public about the Blaylock Wellness Report

by neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., www.russellblaylockmd.com He

has excellent information and current research that can save your

life. In fact, when it comes to nutrition he has a book called

" Nutrition Secrets To Save Your Life " . His newsletter is not

expensive and I highly recommend it.

 

Today we have a serious problem with seizures because we know that

aspartame used by 70% of the population is a seizure triggering drug,

listed 5 times on the FDA list of 92 symptoms. Go to www.mpwhi.com

and click on aspartame news, go to 2007 archives. Do a find on " 92 " ,

and you'll see it on FDA stationery.

 

Now the manufacturer of Splenda has admitted that Splenda is a

seizure triggering drug. To make matters worse anti-seizure

medication includes aspartame such as Ketocal. Further, aspartame

interacts with anti-seizure medication. Reports continually pour in

come that anti-seizure medication is causing more seizures. MSG also

can trigger seizures, another excitotoxin, like the aspartic acid in

aspartame. A good web site is www.truthinlabeling.org Aspartame,

MSG and Splenda should all be removed from the market but as most of

you know the FDA is simply Big Pharma's Washington Branch

Office. They get 50% of their funds from them, and only serve one

master, betraying the public trust. The FDA even knew for 25 years

that the glutamate people were using aspartame as the placebo when

doing studies on MSG. That way they could say the placebo reacts as

much as MSG. When caught, the FDA admitted it was wrong, but did

nothing about it showing you their lack of concern for the public.

 

What to do?!! First of all, avoid all chemical sweeteners. There is

a safe sweetener called Just Like Sugar which you can get from Whole

Foods or www.justlikesugarinc.com which is made from chicory which

has been used for 70 years to improve the health of diabetics, and

orange peel, Vitamin C and Calcium. Dr. Blaylock actually asked for

an analysis to be sure it was void of excitotoxins or additives and

found it to be safe. Dr. Blaylock recommends this sweetener.

 

Secondly, in two of Dr. Blaylock's Wellness Reports he gives

information to prevent seizures so I'm making this part available,

although this newsletter is only available by subscription.

 

In his newsletter titled: Can Sudden Cardiac Death Be Prevented,

August, 2008, he writes:

 

Newer Methods of Controlling Seizures:

 

" I get a number of requests for help in controlling seizures. Most

patients continue to experience seizures despite toxic levels of

antiseizure medication. They also find they have difficulty

functioning with the side effects of the drugs, which are often

significant. As a neurosurgeon, I have treated hundreds of people

for seizures using both conventional methods and more recently,

nutritional methods. I have seen a number of cases of intractable

seizures respond to dietary treatments, and in a number of cases, no

drugs were necessary.

 

" I remember one case in particular in which a young girl was soon to

be married, but she began having seizures. She went to a neurologist

who wanted to put her on medications that, among other side effects,

made her very sleepy, something that would have been a nightmare on

her wedding day and honeymoon.

 

" I saw her as a patient, reviewed her studies, and suggested a few

simple changes. After following my advice, her seizures

stopped. She had the wedding and honeymoon she had dreamed of, and

she never had another seizure. This is not an isolated case.

 

" I have given similar recommendations to a number of seizure

patients, and they either remained free of seizures or their seizures

were significantly reduced.

 

" What is the magic formula? First, modern neuroscience has

determined that seizures are caused by overactive brain glutamate

receptors. These are excitatory receptors, and they make up the most

complex and abundant type of receptors in the brain.

 

" Receptors are like electrical outlets inserted in the neuron's

membrane. When the glutamate neurotransmitter is plugged into the

receptor, the cells become very active and fire their signals. If

they become highly overactive, they can trigger a seizure.

 

" Most people in Western countries, especially the US consume large

amount so f these excitotoxins, such as MSG, hydrolyzed proteins,

aspartame and sodium or calcium caseinate.

 

" They stimulate areas in the brain that already have overly sensitive

glutamate receptors, which are the trigger sites for seizures. The

more excitotoxins consumed, the worse the seizure becomes and the

more difficult to control. " clip If you to the Blaylock

Wellness Report you are permitted to go back in the archives and read

these newsletters in their entirety.

 

Ways to Control and Prevent Seizures:

 

* Avoid excitotoxin-additives in foods.

* Avoid high glycemic foods, such as refined sugars, potatoes, white

breads, etc.

* Exercise regularly - at a moderate level - everyday.

* Take magnesium as magnesium citrate/malate (www.jigsawhealth.com)

* Take DHA 1,000 mg a day

* Take a mixture of antioxidants (natural vitamin E, buffered

vitamin C, B vitamins, selenium, and iodine).

* Avoid vaccinations (especially those containing thimerosal mercury).

* Have dental amalgams removed (www.iaomt.com)

* Take carnosine 1,000 mg three times a day 390 minutes before meals.

* Avoid fluoride.

* Drink white tea (decaffeinated) two to three times a day.

* Eat 5 to 10 servings of vegetables a day.

* Get eight hours of sleep a night.

* If over 50 years old, take 3 mg to 6 mg of melatonin 30 minutes

before bedtime.

 

Dr. Russell Blaylock is the author of Excitotoxins: The Taste That

Kills which is about aspartame and MSG, www.russellblaylockmd.com He

also has a CD, The Truth About Aspartame, www.atavistik.com He can

be seen in the aspartame documentary, " Sweet Misery: A Poisoned

World " , www.soundandfury.tv

 

In another newsletter titled the Health Benefits of Vitamin D, Dr.

Blaylock gives this vital information:

 

Vitamin D-3's Vital Role in Controlling Seizures

 

A recent study of 285 people with epilepsy found that almost half

(44.5 percent) were clinically deficient in vitamin D, especially the

men. Some anti-seizure medications lower vitamin D-3 levels and

several studies have shown that supplementing with vitamin D-3 can

reduce the number of seizures and even increase the effectiveness of

anti-seizure medications.

 

One way vitamin D-3 prevents seizures is by reducing excessive immune

reactions in the brain, a central cause in all seizures. Studies of

seizure patients have shown that most have elevated levels of brain

inflammatory cytokines. Medications which are effective in reducing

seizures reduce inflammation and excitotoxicity. Vitamin D-3 has

also been shown to rid the brain of free radicals, which are also

associated with seizures. This may explain why fish oil supplements

reduce seizures, since most contain high levels of vitamin D,

especially cod liver oil. The DHA in the fish oil has other benefits as well:

 

Reduces brain inflammation

Reduces excitotoxicity (the process by which nerve cells are killed

by toxic substances)

Helps repair injured brain cells
