John I am very opened to it all;
As well as others, Dr. Wakefield even mentioned recombiant DNA might be the problem.
Some are talking about the aborted fetus used in vaccines - Mother has psychologica problems and even this go around in the IACC meeting a doctor/father brought this up.

Several thoughts of mine on MSGs, John.

First the IACC will not allow the word immunizations or vaccines in the written wording to anything they put out.
Even if you want them to look at just one ingredient.
Even if it is MSG- the federal government is still up to their guilty little eyeballs in not doing the research and allowing the money and pharama and all that ----influence them.

It might interest you watch the video of Jan 2014 IACC meeting -- second thing they do after talking about what they should do about the Congress telling them they are duplicating too much research ----was going over their final written report they were turning in -- and Tom Insel calls for a vote as they go through their work -- on a proposal that Lyn Redwood asked for one word to be put in - "Immunizations" on only one part of the paper.
HE did not call for a vote on the other many words changes and phrases just that one.

This vote also showed me -- that he has his own guys on the committee to vote against any such word. These memebers voted no, and did not ask one question. They know the game.
So since MSG is in the vaccines it is not going to get studied by the IACC.

But thanks for going to the IACC and speaking out, and putting it in their faces - again.

Other thoughts on this;

IF you read the "Peanut Allergies" By Heather Fraser - you have to wonder at the allergy connection - of common foods such as MSGs as well as gluten, peanuts, DNA, egg yolks, milk - endless amounts of food products - attached to metals such as aluminum and mercury. Metals call the attention of the immune system and to the proteins that these metal are attached to, plus all coated in oils so it stays around in the body longer.

I have a strong suspicion that mercury and aluminum acts as a synergy even-- there is some really good science on that one. One metal will kill only a certain percentage of rats, but add two and it kills 100 percent of rats.

Some more thoughts I have on what you are saying John and it is this ; MSG was discovered by a Japanese scientist and it is used a WHOLE LOT in Asian cooking. I noticed that Kawasaki disease was first noted in Japan - and Kawasaki -seems to occur more in Japan and in the Asian population more than other ethnic groups. It could be that the Japanese diet higher in MSGs could be the reason.

I also noticed that Japan unlike the rest of the world seems to be a bit more worried about vaccines. Japan alone has put MMR vaccine in separate dosages. Japan also seems to be a lone nation that decided after so many girls were hurt by the HPV vaccine that they alone really researched the HPV vaccine and did NOT MAKE IT MANDATORY.

Another thought on MSGs; John, you probably already know, but information for others - All of the mitochondria websites or most of them --- warn to eliminate MSGS from the diet if you do have a mitochondria disorder -- esp the "Acquired Type"

Spoke to Carol, as of today, Feb 19, there is still no sign of John. I will be re-spreading the word on Myspace, and please post anywhere you can, and tell everyone you can. The mighty "elite" are trying to stop him from opening the Autism center. They don't want him to open people's eyes, and yank the veil off what our government has done.

Stranger than fiction

1953 book Bertrand Russell, “The Impact of Science on Society”, pg 49-50

He said it they followed it like a recipe
probably not knowing why, just thinking it was a preservitive for multi dose vials. The real reason was DARKER! maybe a step ford society.

But they were warned that it thimerosal was ineffective in 1948 and 1982 by a AMA grant study; The blue ribbon panel findings:
Dr. Engleys teams findings
"We found thimerosal is toxic down to a level that is almost unbelievable. Down to 1.10, maybe 100 nanograms...a millionth of a gram and that is about as toxic as you can get," he said." It seems the CDC doe's not comprehend, danger or warnings very well. For all the teams warning were ignored.

Also Thimerosal is neither efficacious nor safe, and should be removed as a preservative in prescription biologics and pharmaceutical products, as well as from topical over-the-counter products such as Butt-Balm that have Thimerosal present in their formulations as an active ingredient.
The blue ribbon panel said.

This mans last quote should be enough to send all the child poisoning rats to prison
for you cannot get any clearer than this.

Dr. Engley "if they had followed through on our 82 report the vaccines would have been freed of thimerosal and all this autism they tell me would not have occurred"

Somebody apparently wanted it kept in the vaccines and they succeeded, and even today they are fighting to keep in flu shots a preservitive that does not work!and according to the MSDS of Thimerosal pregnant woman should not be exposed to their product. Makes you wonder why the CDC knowing this, allows and suggest at all trimesters of pregnancy a flu shot with no mention of a preference for thimerosal free. Also(Remember the Chiron debacle when over half the flu vaccines had to be destroyed as toxic waste. Thimerosal could not do the job, It seems Dr. Engley was right)It also shows they were desperate to keep it in children's vaccines to a point they introduced senate bill 3 protecting America from terrorism 2005 It was worded that any states that had gone no mercury would have their rights rolled back. And all the litigation against the pharma co's would be dismissed through Thompson HHS DIR and the Attorney. gen Ashcroft they would be given full control over all litigation.

I believe this was done by the CDC and other vaccine minded people trying to save the program. i'm sure they thinking there might be a major drop in all chronic diseases and it would become very apparent what the culpret was.

The roos was the solders fallen in battle would get 100,000 retroactive for their family's when we began the first Bush war.
Who wouldn't sign and support that ,the DARKER side was they would get what they wanted complete safety net from all autism thimerosal litigation. what criminals! organized crime could not have planed it any better. Thats why you cannot trust the IACC to do the right thing when it comes to our kids because the FIX is in and always has been. From the president to the senate to the congress to the Media. They all know and don't care or give a damn.

Are the other compounds Russell talks about MSG?

"Russell being quoted as saying we would put mercury in vaccines, and other compounds to produce a partial lobotomized state" If this was done, they did not anticipate the mercury from other sources AKA as coal fired plants and mothers body burden,also forest fires that produce mercury.

In the next statement that Russell makes keep in mind the every child by two organization. they were probably instrumental in getting the vaccine safety studies canceled from the IACC congressional mandate They have vaccine makers on their board CBS recently brought this to light, And we wonder what happened to the kids. With all that we are seeing in greed on the regular pharma scandals. We think that the leopard changes it's spots when it comes to children's vaccines, but may I remind you that every vaccine that is put in the children's schedule represents Billions, so now you can see why me being 50 yr's had only 2 shots that it's now 66 by the time a child is 18 that is $$$66 Billion reasons. And there has never been any research on multiple vaccines interacting to see if we are damaging our own kids. The system is truly out of control. I do not recall any add, adhd, speech delay, or autism, bipolar, anorexia, or explosive disorders, in children when I went to school.

Russell who advocated the use of vaccines to induce partial chemical lobotomies and create a servile zombie population,"Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible." - Bertrand Russell, “The Impact of Science on Society”, 1953, pg 49-50 1953. Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society: "...the subject which will be of most importance politically is Mass Psychology.... The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen. As yet there is only one country which has succeeded in creating this politician’s paradise.”11

Who knows, maybe it's just a coincidence He said it they did it and our kids are partial lobotomized. sort of like We vaccinated a perfectly normal children and end up with a biological mess with labs proving mercury poisoning. coincidence ?

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen,

Thank you for your marvelous comments, both for, and against this article and my research. Just to be allowed to share it and create a debate is wonderful after five years in the dark. Kudos to Kim and Dan for allowing it to happen. I see that I must dig deeper to bring more people to understand the scope of MSG and its terrible history. Here are a few of the studies which exist in a library somewhere but I have not yet found the abstracts for, please note that Glutamic Acid was the early name for MSG.

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, as you can see scientists have known since 1949 that MSG could affect the brain. I met with Margaret Giannini, Director of the Office of Disabilities, Board member of the Interagency Autism Committee, and the founder of the first children's institution for mental retardation in the United States. When I mentioned these studies to her she responded that she remembered feeding MSG to the children, but that it did not have much of an affect.

Please bare in mind that before human studies are done, rat studies were completed that must have shown reason to test these hypotheses on humans.

How much clearer a connection between MSG and brain alterations do we need than studies like these?

To the person who said that MSG is being taken out of the food supply. China has increased its export to 9 billion pounds of it a year. Autism has seen a steady growth since MSG's introduction by the Colonel with his Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1950.

For those of you who commented in support of my research, thank you very much, especially to the one who's daughter may be a perfect example of what such a super brain drug like MSG can do.

Carol Hornlien, a food scientist, has done a remarkable job showing how Glutamate triggers many of the chemical cascades in the body explaining ASD symptoms, and I encourage you to look at it before just naysaying.
http://msgtruth.com/

If we could just take one percent of the effort and funding that has been put towards the mercury theory, and consider MSG as Dr. Olney and Dr. Blaylock have also done, we could truly open some doors.

As for me, I am not a scientist, I have no lab and no funding. What I am is an Advocate. My intention is to get rid of MSG. I have seen enough to know that it shouldn't be in vaccines or food.

In one year, 20,000 more children will be stricken in the US with Autism. It may take 5 years to prove my MSG theory in a laboratory. That is 100,000 children afflicted who don't have to be.

I want to End Autism now.

My petition to remove MSG from the food supply is at the FDA at

http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=DocketDetail&d=FDA-2007-P-0178

Your comments to the FDA are most welcome.

I will be working on removing Glutamate from the vaccines as well.

My 28 page report on the dangers of MSG, and the science supporting a link to Autism is available for free distribution, just email me and I will send it to you.

For those of you who want to cling to the Mercury idea, I understand.

But for those who are ready to move on to the next probable culprit, feel free to email me and I will keep you informed of new developments and the bold campaign being launched to end this Slow Poisoning of America.

Hi John,

I agree with you that MSG is bad stuff and shouldn't be added to our foods or vaccines. I also think msg and other glutamates may indeed be a part of the picture in explaining what is going wrong with so many kids (and adults). The parallels between autism and Alzheimer's are striking.

However, I disagree with you that mercury does not ever cause brain swelling or enlargement. Mady Hornig reported that it (or at least thimerosal) did cause brain enlargement in at least one strain of mice (see abstract below). Perhaps it would be worth investigating exactly what Hornig was feeding her mice during the trials and if by any chance their food contained msg or some other glutamate. I recall that some other researcher claimed to have repeated Hornig's study and not gotten the same results. It seems possible to me that there was an inadvertant difference in the experimental conditions of the two studies that caused the differing results.

I also agree with the poster regarding the dangers of tylenol. Fluoride probably ought to be on the list of contributive factors too, along with nutrient and mineral deficient diets, and over-use of antibiotics.

IMO we are seeing the cumulative and synergistic effects of multiple factors. I think our current medical system fails because it attempts to identify single factors as causative, or curative, of illness/malfunction, when in reality the causes, and potential cures, of many illnesses/malfunctions (not just autism) are most likely multifactorial.

Neurotoxic effects of postnatal thimerosal are mouse strain dependent
http://www.nature.com/mp/journal/v9/n9/full/4001529a.html
M Hornig1, D Chian1 and W I Lipkin1,2

We introduced thimerosal beginning at P7, a time critical for synaptogenesis and maturation of glutamatergic and other neural pathways,57 yet after migrational events are largely concluded.21 In humans, this period of synaptic plasticity extends from the 6th month of gestation to several years after birth and parallels the sensitivity of the developing brain to xenobiotics;58 NMDA receptors play a key role in these developmental events.59 Whereas in mature rodents excessive glutamate is neurotoxic, neuronal survival is promoted by glutamate during brain development.59 Conversely, blockade of NMDA receptors during the postnatal brain growth spurt (approximately P7-14 in rats) is associated with enhanced neuronal apoptosis.58, 59 It is intriguing to consider that in the context of synaptogenesis, abnormal activation of NMDA receptors may result in the persistence of neurons that might otherwise be selected for developmentally appropriate pruning. Such alterations could explain both our findings of increased numbers of hyperchromic, tightly packed but TUNEL-negative pyramidal neurons in CA1 and CA2, as well as the generalized enlargement of hippocampal structures. These findings are reminiscent of Rett syndrome, a disorder with clinical features overlapping with those of autism but caused by mutations in the X-linked methyl-CpG-binding protein 2,60 where CA1 pyramidal neurons of increased cell packing density, without evidence of active degeneration61 and with hyperchromic appearance,62 are reported. Age-associated brain overgrowth is also noted in autism.63 Our findings in SJL Thim mice not only of significant, selective brain enlargement but also of close, inverse correlations between these histopathologic measures and measures of disinhibition or exploratory drive (center ambulatory distance and exploratory rearing) underscore the relevance of this model for understanding the mechanisms underlying the strain dependent vulnerability of developing neurobehavioral circuitry to neurotoxic insults. The relatively greater increase in sr of CA3 than in that of CA1 in SJL Thim mice is particularly intriguing. In addition to more general findings of macrocephaly, http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=macrocephaly eurycephaly http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=eurycephalic is reported in children with autism.64 Of further interest, the infrapyramidal mossy fiber bundle, pruned from up to two-thirds the length of CA3 to its shorter adult length between PN days 20 and 30 in mice,65 varies genetically and its size is linked to exploratory behaviors.66 The finding here of a correlation between enlargement of specific regional hippocampal fields and decreased levels of exploration (i.e., reduced center ambulatory distance and rearing counts, consistent with increased anxiety levels) in thimerosal-treated SJL mice suggests that pruning mechanisms may be selectively disrupted by this postnatal challenge. Partial deafferentation effects, with enhanced activity, may also contribute to interrelated abnormalities of DG and region CA1/CA2 abnormalities through incomplete damage to perforant path afferents or Schaffer collaterals. This investigation focused on brain regions that undergo postnatal maturation and are known to be susceptible to organic mercury exposures during development, hippocampus and cerebellum.8 Potential contributions from thimerosal-related damage in other brain areas, including entorhinal cortex, frontal cortex, cingulate cortex, thalamus, amygdala, and brainstem, need to be considered.

I agree with Heidi's point that the individual factors alone don't explain autism. It probably is some combination. To sum up my theory (for the 2 cents it's worth):

I think that either a vitamin D deficiency, a metal efflux disorder (such as a mutation to ATP7B), or being vaccinated while ill, and/or being vaccinated with too many shots at once leads to both increased absorption of heavy metals and low levels of intracellular glutathione. Low glutathione levels also result in an impaired ability to excrete toxic metals and causes a reduced ability to fight pathogens like the live measles virus in the MMR or even lyme disease).

The metals cause brain damage and brain injury can interfere with glutathione production (mercury has been found to cause immunosuppression). On the flip-side, abnormalities in glutamate receptors and glutamate transporters can also impair the body's ability to make glutathione and low glutathione would result in reduced metal efflux. Personally, I think the metals are the cause, but regardless of which factor is the cause and which is the effect:

"Glutamate receptors, such as the NMDA receptor, bind glutamate"

"Glutamate transporters are supposed to remove glutamate from the extracellular space, but In brain injury or disease they can work in reverse and excess glutamate can accumulate outside cells. This process causes calcium ions to enter cells via NMDA receptor channels, leading to neuronal damage and eventual cell death, and is called excitotoxicity." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutathione

So a person with the condition above probably would be severely susceptible to additional glutamate received from MSG.

That same webpage goes on to say:

"Excitotoxicity due to glutamate occurs as part of the ischemic cascade and is associated with stroke and diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, lathyrism, autism, some forms of mental retardation and Alzheimer's disease. Glutamic acid has been implicated in epileptic seizures."

And

"Excess glutamate at synapses, which may be released in conditions such as traumatic brain injury, can prevent the uptake of cysteine, a necessary building block of glutathione. Without the protection from oxidative injury afforded by glutathione, cells may be damaged or killed."

So it sounds to me that whatever the cause is, the low glutathione levels seem to be at the root of autism, and therefore it seems to me that increasing intracellular glutathione (either through supplements or by fixing whatever is causing the low glutathione levels) would probably be beneficial.

(But I'm not a doctor. Always consult with a doctor before making any medical decision.)

People can have mercury and not autism, people can have infections like lyme and not have autism, and people can eat things like MSG and not have autism. So what is the caus? I say it's the combination of things. The body probably does all kinds of compensation for infections and toxins, but if too many infections and toxins are in us, then things go amiss in a big way, and we call it autism. I say it's ok to have several causes to autism. Afterall, doesn't pneumonia have several causes? But, I must admit, the most common thing I see reversing symptoms of autism is treating for lyme whether the test shows positive or not. (My children are recovered, including a non-relative I adopted).

It sounds like aberrations in the glutamates in the cerebral spinal fluid might be the cause of the headaches that mercury poisoned people have

I would also like to mention one of the sneaky ways that MSG is put into your food. It is in something called "Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein" Sounds like something good but infact there is MSG in it

I wasted 8 months with my son on just GFCF, and it wasn't until we ALSO removed soy and MSG that we really saw a difference. MSG is a definite culprit. Dr. Blaylock has written some great articles on autism, MSG, and aspartame.

What is really sad is how many GFCF products and supplements contain "natural flavors" which is one of the MANY hidden names of MSG.

I called Kirkman Labs one time and asked what the source of their "natural fruit punch" or "natural berry flavor" was but they couldn't tell me, so I will not buy the products - and yes, it is that important to me and I believe it should be very important to all of us.

We should make it known that we WILL NOT tolerate this garbage in our foods/drinks/supplements/vaccines and the only way I can think of making that known is by not buying the products. I would not even give my turtle food with MSG.

A very special person suggested that I make all our food at home from scratch and that has changed our lives.

Thank you so much, John, for your work over these many years.
The glutamate theory is a hard one to explain to folks even though it resolves every single puzzle piece of autism into a complete (if horrifying) picture. Mercury IS involved, but these children have a lot more mercury in them than what they have been injected with. A lot of people don't realize that the body has a natural means of chelation. But in a child with low glutathione levels, they have inadequate means of getting rid of mercury from anywhere. And in some tissues it is really hard to remove without a blood brain barrier crossing substance like alpha-lipoic acid. These kids shouldn't just be avoiding thimerosal which is common sense - they should be avoiding fish and avoiding the air near coal burning power plants and heavy metals of any kind, anywhere - period.

The latest batch of autism genes include RNF8 which codes for glutamate-cysteine ligase and the formation of glutathione. Children with the autism genes, either obtained by genetics or spontaneously created by exposure to valproic acid or other chemicals, are done a grave disservice if we feed them foods or give the MMR vaccine containing excess glutamate. They already have a genetic mutation that will lead to heavy metal toxicity and then we make it worse by feeding them free glutamate or injecting it into them.

In researching this topic, folks should type in glutamate and cystine, or cystiene, or glutathione, or glutamate-cystine transport. RNF8 gene. It will make a lot more sense how these items are truly connected. I have a flowchart that I just finished at msgtruth.org that shows how all of this is connected. The seemingly disparate symptoms of ASD also resolve when you see the chart.

In NJ the rate of autism is even higher than in the rest of the country. We have had specific cluster areas. One particular cluster just sticks out: a school where the teachers have autistic children. What do these kids and teachers have in common besides living in a state where the medical industry is pervasive and vaccinations mandatory? The same cafeteria.

We HAVE to look at the everything and leave nothing out: AIR, WATER, FOOD, VACCINES, MEDICATIONS. Anything that goes into a child should be examined. If we worry about brain damage in children with PKU and use diet to treat it while the brain is being hard-wired, why is it so hard for researchers to look at another amino acid which neuroscientists like Dr. Blaylock, or Dr. John Olney have been telling us for years causes brain cell death in babies.

Lets keep looking for answers. Science is about the truth. We can find it together, but only if we all want the same thing. A better life for our children.

John, thanks again for putting your entire career and reputation on the line for the truth. You are an angel.

I have a very affected daughter so I do appreciate all research on autism. While there is much evidence to the harm of MSG, to see it as a cause of autism, and possibly a #1 cause for autism, might be a bit of a reach. The mentioning that mercury might be a downstream effect of MSG begs a different stream of thought.

If we were to look at the inverse of that comment, that mercury can cause the haywire effect of the glutamate system, then MSG's havoc would be the downstream effect. This study kind of does that:

Mercury compounds disrupt neuronal glutamate transport in cultured mouse cerebellar granule cells
Elena Fonfría 1, M. Teresa Vilaró 1 2, Zoila Babot 1, Eduard Rodríguez-Farré 1, Cristina Suñol 1 *

Cerebellar granule cells are targeted selectively by mercury compounds in vivo. Despite the affinity of mercury for thiol groups present in all cells, the molecular determinant(s) of selective cerebellar degeneration remain to be elucidated fully. We studied the effect of mercury compounds on neuronal glutamate transport in primary cultures of mouse cerebellar granule cells. Immunoblots probed with an antibody against the excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT) neuronal glutamate transporter, EAAT3, revealed the presence of a specific band in control and mercury-treated cultures. Micromolar concentrations of both methylmercury and mercuric chloride increased the release of endogenous glutamate, inhibited glutamate uptake, reduced mitochondrial activity, and decreased ATP levels. All these effects were completely prevented by the nonpermeant reducing agent Tris-(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP). Reduction of mitochondrial activity by mercuric chloride, but not by methylmercury, was inhibited significantly by 4,4-diisothiocyanato-stilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid (DIDS) and by reduced extracellular Cl- ion concentration. In addition, DIDS and low extracellular Cl- completely inhibited the release of glutamate induced by mercuric chloride, and produced a partial although significant reduction of that induced by methylmercury. We suggest that a direct inhibition of glutamate uptake triggers an imbalance in cell homeostasis, leading to neuronal failure and Cl--regulated cellular glutamate efflux. Our results demonstrate that neuronal glutamate transport is a novel target to be taken into account when assessing mercury-induced neurotoxicity. © 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

I bring this up not to deny the effects MSG has -- it is a nasty thing for the body -- but to look at how puzzle pieces directly influence how we perceive the picture.

Also, the original Kanner children (originally reported in 1943) were born/diagnosed before the introduction of MSG -- "The Ajinomoto company was formed to manufacture and market MSG in Japan; the name 'Ajinomoto' means "essence of taste". It was introduced to the United States in 1947 as Ac'cent flavor enhancer." WIKI

Just some additional food for thought.

Here, here. I've been waiting for a theory that makes more sense to our situation. My son is not mercury poisoned, he was not affected by the MMR, he does not have gut issues, bowel issues, allergies, leaky anything - he is a healthy horse, physically. (It took thousands of dollars worth of DAN-ordered testing to put all of that to rest and an end to the cookie-cutter biomed treatment madness).

However, there is definitely something wrong with his brain and nervous system. He has a large brain, he suffers from over-excitability (like his system is constantly on overdrive) -and underneath it all is very intelligent. Well above average, I'd say.

Would love to hear more about this theory and possible remedies. Hopefully, it doesn't mean irreparable brain damage.

Keep up the fight! The mystery has yet to be solved and NO ONE has all of the answers yet.

My daughter was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. She was reading everything she could put her hands on by 18 months although she had no functional language. She has perfect pitch, perfect spelling, grammar, and punctuation...none of it actually taught to her. She can listen to a song and reproduce it on the piano. She taught herself to speak fluent Japanese through the computer in a matter of months....and she is highly addicted to MSG. She can type 130 words per minute. She has amazing skills, an amazing brain, but still lacks so many of the basic functional skills. This MSG theory plays out beautifully in this little girl. Parts of her brain are highly developed and her neurotransmitters are completely disrupted. She is now 10, we restrict her MSG but the damage has been done...we are bio-medically doing all we can to fill the gaps. You would think the medical establishment would be interested in studying this amazing brain and the effects of MSG on it. You would be wrong...we have been to Kennedy Krieger, Georgetown University, Johns Hopkins, George Washington University, Pfeifer, and they all find her "interesting"...isn't that swell.

Please keep up your research. MSG and aspartame needs to be out of the food (it's even in baby formula) and vaccines. Dr. Blaylock has excellent informaiton on his website regarding the dangers of MSG. Thanks for all your hard work.
