The Autism/Vaccination Link

Mainstream media will tell you there is no link between Autism and Vaccination. Here is more evidence to the contrary. Dr. Mercola talks about a correlation between the 1988 Hib vaccine and Autism rates

Autism Brain Weight

According to an article in the most recent Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers have found that the brains of boys with Autism are heavier and contain more neurons than the brains of neurotypical boys of the same age.Autistic Brains are  Heavy with Extra Neurons



Here is a link to the Cosmo article explaining the research: Autistic Brains are  Heavy with Extra Neurons

MSG is NOT "Safe"

I don't know how many people recently have told me, “Oh come on.. MSG can't be as bad and the conspiracy nuts say it is. If it was unsafe, the FDA would pull it.” 

In a word: Bull! 

Let me tell you about MSG. I have Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. Using herbs, diet, exercise, meditation and specific supplements I have succeeded in stopping the progression and reversing symptoms. Six years ago I was unable to see well enough to read, I could not walk without assistive devices because my balance was shot. I could not hold a fork or a pencil because of pain and any noise at all sounded like it was one thousand times louder than it was. I had urinary urgency, I had muscle spasms. I was a mess. Then I started this journey called “natural health” and I recovered. 

Today, I ONLY have symptoms when one of four things happen either:

  1. I go too long without enough sleep.
  2. I eat gluten.
  3. I allow myself to get over the top, stressed.
  4. I eat MSG.


Tonight, my husband and I went out to dinner. I had NO symptoms when we went in there. I ordered steamed broccoli, salad (no dressing), plain chicken and rice. I drank coffee. 30 minutes after I finished my meal my face started to itch. Then I started getting surface needle pain in my face and legs. Then I started stuttering. When I got out of the car I realized that I had no balance. I needed my husband's help to walk across the parking lot. I was supposed to teach a class on heart health, but could not talk well enough to be understood by most of the class participants. I noticed that my vision was blurry and the room was spinning. 

At the three hour mark, my right ear started ringing. That continued for about 5 minutes, and then I lost the hearing in that ear.
I ONLY get these reactions when I ingest MSG. 

After 4 hours the stuttering finally started to decrease enough that I could hold a short conversation with my husband and daughter, but my balance was no better. 

I came home, took some taurine and my LDN and went to bed. 

This morning I am mostly fine. I do still feel the effects of last nights. I'm a little brain fogged and having trouble finding the correct words, but it's nothing day shattering. 

Now.. MSG supporters.. tell me again how this known neurotoxin known as MSG is “perfectly safe.”

Avoiding Colds and Flu

So many of my friends and work associates seem to be getting ill lately. Just this week alone 3 people cancelled meetings because they had a cold or the flu. I understand it's cold and flu season, but if you take a few simple precautions and follow a simple supplement protocol at the first symptom  you have  pretty good chance of avoiding the worst of the winter plagues.

Things I do to avoid catching colds and flu:
Wash hands often with soap. 
Avoid "antibacterial" soaps, gels, etc. 
Drink plenty of water
Eat lots of raw fresh veggies
Avoid sugar in all forms
Limit fruit to one per day
Teach kids to sneeze down shirts.. NOT on hands, arms or even shoulders
Avoid artificial foods and food additives
Keeps hands away from face
Take Vitamin D supplement daily
Limit foods with acidic reactions 
NEVER get a flu shot

Things I do at the first sign of illness:
Take 30,000 IU Vitamin D on day one
Take 5,000 IU Vitamin D on day two, three and four
Take golden seal or echinachea
Take extra zinc
Increase fluid intake 
Remove animal products from my diet
Remove all foods that cause acidic reactions
Deep breathing exercises to increase oxygen to cells


I have been following these basic suggestions for at least 6  years. In those 6 years I have had one mild head cold and have not gotten the flu at all. Not even when I've been exposed to sick kids at church or other activities.  My younger kids have never been ill with the flu. Between my 6 kids we average two colds (total) for the entire winter season.

All You Ever Wanted to Know About Mold

Mold. It's that ugly black stuff that grows on your shower curtain. It'll grow in your fridge if you leave leftovers too long. It's in cheeses, and some antibiotics. But, did  you ever thing mold could invade your body and make you ill from the inside out?

Dr. Mercola tells all about mold. http://lewrockwell.com/mercola/mercola152.html
