THANKS
FROM A MOM WHOSE
CHILD IS SEIZURE FREE --
NOW THAT THE MSG IS GONE
FROM HIS DIET
Mom had relied on information from the Truth in labeling Campaign to
understand what was in the enteral care product she was giving to her
son, and to understand if there was a link between processed free
glutamic acid (MSG) and seizures.
Prior to Mom's writing, her son had been drinking about 3 cans of
enteral formula a day, and had been having about 5 grand
mal seizures a day. When Mom wrote the letter, parts of which are
copied below, her son was off the enteral
formula, and had been seizure free for 8 straight days. Following
are some of the salient points of Mom's letter to me:
Dear Mr. Samuels,
My small son used to have about 3 cans [of enteral formula] per day,
and usually had about 5 grand mal
seizures a day.... I stopped giving my son these cans and within a day
or so he
stopped having so many seizures. His new record is 8 straight
days seizure free. On the can he had never gone
more than half a day without a seizure.
I now make my son's enteral formula in a blender. It takes
about 3 minutes to make a one day supply.
I told our neurologist and he said that to date there have been no good
studies. Well of course not. Who would pay for one besides
the makers. I need no study. My son is proof enough.
That so many brain damaged children are subjected to the vicious cycles
of MSG poisoning through enteral formulas followed by massive doses of
antiepiletics makes me sick and angry. Thank you sir. You have
helped a child regain his life.
Sincerely,
There is more than one kind of enteral formula. Some are
formulated for children. Some are formulated for the
elderly. There are also protein drinks used for
supplementing nutrition. We have never seen one of these products that
isn't full of processed free glutamic acid (MSG).
I am proud that the Truth in Labeling Campaign has been able to help
parents understand that MSG can cause seizures in susceptible children,
and has also been able to help parents avoid products that contain
MSG. At the same time, I am ashamed of people who call themselves
health care professionals who refuse to look to the environment for
possible causes of illness before they load poor defenseless children
with drugs or go to the extreme of removing parts of their brains in
order to turn off seizures.

IF
MSG ISN'T HARMFUL, WHY IS IT HIDDEN?
