Our daughter has epilepsy and is in the 5% tile whose system will not accept the meds. After much research my hubby and I decided to follow the plan...it has worked wonders!!!! No this is not a cure all, and yes it is a LOT of trial and error, but not having to have her brain operated on to stop the seizures has been nothing less than a miracle!!! This book explains the brain connection to differing foods and gives guidance to triggers...every persons triggers can be different. I wish the best for you and your daughter! Keep persevering, you are doing awesome by educating her, thank you for your post~ Hi Donna,

We have a little girl with epilepsy, and I have been doing my best to purge our home of anything with msg!!! the only thing I found left was canned tomatoes!!!! I even buy the organic ones...but little did I know, citric acid was lying in there!!! So frustrating and disheartening, but thankful that my eyes are being opened to the truth more and more each day!!! "What God builds, let man not destroy!!!"

I did not realize until recently the effect MSG has on the brain and body. When I have taken time to do a cleanse and eat properly, I have noticed that I stop eating when I'm full. Once I go back to eating some junk food and prepared foods, I notice I keep on eating past the point of being full. I really appreciate learning all the synonyms/euphemisms for MSG. I do read food labels and value having this knowledge to make better choices for myself and my family. Please accept my sincere thanks and gratitude. For those who are interested, here is link to a documentary you can see on YouTube which speaks about the effects of MSG and much more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvzDHGLEUyw&feature=watch-now-button&wide=1 Great post!

Heroin can kill you in large doses, but it doesn't help you any in small doses either; worthy analogy. I have know about MSG a long while before I discovered this post and have been MSG free; entirely. I have a list of over 40-names that MSG is found under, along with other things that I have memorized for when I shop. I eat entirely organic; if I cannot find meat that is organic, I don't eat it, I eat organic beans instead. My diet is literally that of brown rice, salt & pepper only, extra virgin olive oil (organic food store), fresh fruits and veggies scrubbed before consuming (organic food store) and anything else organic, I get my milk, eggs and cheese from organic private sellers. I do not consume anything sweet at all; my first month entirely off MSG i lost 25lbs. You cannot explain that... fact is little or lots; it's bad for you. I'm in medical school and I don't think I'd be here with the assistance of MSG. Dropped it and I'm able to use my brain as it's meant to function.

I am working on a website that helps identify MSG in ingredients of any product. I am working on improving it to add more MSG aliases, but for now anyone interested is welcome to test it out: http://www.msgfind.com Any feedback is appreciated! <3 Danielle This is a great article.

I was diagnosed with a gluten and MSG sensitivity in September of 2010. I have been living completely MSG and gluten free since then. It really is a daunting notion, but it's doable. I have to cook all of my meals, and I can't eat anything processed, but I feel a million times better now. I've also went from 160 to 125 with only avoiding those two food baddies. Life is a little difficult on this side of MSG, but it's totally worth it. Thank you for posting this! I was diagnosed with a gluten and MSG sensitivity in September of 2010.

The worst part is that MSG isn’t always clearly labeled and can be hidden in descriptions such as natural flavor, hydrolyzed protein, and many others.
