Like a circuit board, our nerve system controls every thought we process, memory we retain, every move we make, and breath we take, among thousands of other tasks. Glutamate is the key needed to make those nerve connections; unfortunately, too much, and it can serve as a double edged sword. Never before in history, have we had as many glutamate containing foods as we do today. Following the end of World War II, the quantity of glutamate, within our food system, has doubled each year. This manmade epidemic is way more pervasive than any occurring natural disaster. We are now seeing its detrimental side, the effects made from supplying way more voltage to our circuits than is needed. Satan himself couldn’t ask for a more insidious way to subtly and slowly poison one’s health. It is a challenge, but getting glutamate back under control is pivotal in preventing damage to our health, most especially our nervous system. Continue reading
Glutathione – Precious Gold Stolen From A Glutamate Storm
Forty years ago when my dad & grandfather ended their lives, the word suicide was never used. It was simply said my grandfather ended his life because he had suffered from severe headaches and could not stand the pain any longer. As time progressed, anxiety, depression, alcoholism, and nervous breakdown were the words used to explain why my dad had ended his life. Twenty years later and a whole new vocabulary was associated with why my sister had taken her life. Initially it was anxiety then depression followed by being bipolar, unipolar, major depression, manic depressive, and finally schizophrenia. What do all these conditions have in common and why does it lead to suicide? Continue reading
Would God Create Us With A Bad Set of Genes?
We were never meant to live on earth forever but have you ever wondered just how long God meant for human life to exist on earth? We can find the answer in Genesis 6:3, “The Lord said, ‘My spirit shall not remain in man forever, since he is but flesh. His days shall comprise one hundred and twenty years.” Continue reading
Glutamate – The Silent and Subtle Storm Preceding Suicide
Illnesses like colds and the flu come and go but rarely does someone wake up one day with a life threatening disease or some type of cancer that has just been formed overnight. As the mechanism for suicide becomes better understood, it is apparent that it too is not an instantaneous happening, although for most of us it may have seemed that way the very moment we heard of someone having ended their life.
“Suicide is NEVER the consequence of a single cause” as stated by Kees van Heeingen, Phd from Ghent University (my capital emphasis). As with disease and cancer, there are various factors that are contributory to suicide like growing up in a negative environment encountered early in life such as violence, abuse or neglect; exposure to a multitude of environmental toxins (poisons) that exist in our world today such as in our diet and in the air we breathe; to undergoing stressful events especially during midlife; as well as the expression of our genes. It has never been fully understood in the past as to why or how these factors and others could contribute to someone wanting to end their life but now we finally have a link.
