Chemical Cuisine
Do you really know what you’re eating? By Gloria Gilbѐre, CDP, DA Hom, PhD, DSC, EcoErgonomist, Wholistic Rejuvenist, HTMA Practitioner.
Working with thousands of patients worldwide who are victims of chemically-induced immune system disorders, the only way to provide assurance for good health is to be empowered through education to combat epidemics of syndromes/illnesses with some names we can’t even pronounce.
Neurotoxic Chemicals
A neurotoxic chemical in food production contributes to toxicity syndromes. Some people detoxify neurotoxins efficiently; others with chronic illnesses (chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, immunosuppression or endocrine disorders) cannot.
Silent brain damage continues until the loss is so extensive it finally shows itself in the form of neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and birth defects. For instance, MSG changes the balance of glutamate in the brain. Scientific evidence clearly shows excess glutamate slowly kills nerve cells that depend on it for communication – degenerative damage appears to be a major link in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, as well as ALS, ADHD and dementia.
Preservatives/Additives
These substances are used for preserving/coloring food, increasing/enhancing flavor – often with inferior ingredients and to encourage binge eating. Over 490 of these chemicals were never tested for poisoning.
“At a Glance”
· MSG and artificial sweeteners are like providing consumer with a low-dose psychiatric drug – changing the biochemistry of the brain*;
· Aspartame, recommended for diabetics, actually accelerates diabetes;
· Avoid BHT, BHA, TBHQ, sodium nitrites/nitrates, sulfites – all neurotoxins;
· Neurotoxin = excitatory neuro-transmitters – excitotoxins – Glutamate is an amino acid that excites nerve cells to death. Pharmaceutical companies spend millions developing glutamate blockers to fight neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Meanwhile, glutamates are pouring (mostly hidden) as processed glutamate (MSG) into our food!
Health through Education
MSG is a white crystal substance -- the salt of amino acid glutamic acid, a form of glutamate. It’s used as flavor enhancer in many foods, especially in pre-made soups, broth/bouillon, natural chicken flavoring, sauces/gravies, salad dressings, and processed foods. The processed food industry is notorious for using it with full knowledge of serious health effects in favor of profits.
Cell Communication Thwarted
Our modern food supply leads to mixed messages within white blood cells. According to Floyd Chilton, Ph.D., “These changes dramatically turned-up our immune system volume causing them to become our enemy. Our bodies are revolting; white blood cells overreact resulting in a plague of inflammatory diseases.”
Inflammation makes-up the combination underlying causes of almost every illness – congestion of the ducts/vessels of circulation/elimination such as bile ducts of the liver/digestive tract, blood/lymph vessels, urinary tract and hormonal pathways/endocrine system.
