I wanted to regiter, but I couldn't find a link anywhere to create a user name and password. I'm not intensionally anonymous.
I'm a 43yo male. My story is not scientific, not backed with claims of PROOF that MSG is a killer and has ruined my life. My story is simple, factual, and proof enough for me.
About 20 years ago, I was in the middle of a workday, dealing with the same headache I experienced almost each and every day of my life. The same one that made me sick with migrane symptoms as a young child. I endured daily pain, from school to sports. That day at work, a customer changed my life forever. I was complaining of my usual pain, a pain that was forever associated with allergies. She asked me one question. "Do you eat out often?" Wow, yes! I was working tons, early till late. I ate out almost 3 meals a day, plus junk in between. A thousand dollar credit card bill was typical ... all from eating out. "MSG," she said.
The customer explained that MSG was not just in Chinese food, but in almost meal you eat when eating out, and also in countless grocery store products. OH NO, I eat lots of salad when I eat out! "I bet you eat Ranch salad dressing," she stated. She didn't go on a big MSG hate campaign. You see, she was a nurse. She was leaving work with me, and she asked that I not eat out at all over the next couple weeks, and to check labels of the food I bought, and not eat anything unless I was positive no MSG.
She returned for her work 2 weeks later to a hug. I was getting 25 headaches a month before she changed my life. Now, I get 2 - 3 ... and I'm pretty sure they are related to sinus ... and maybe a little sneaky MSG.
After 20 years, I still can remember her words. And even now, I can also attest to the OBVIOUS reminders when I cheat with a big tasty mexican dinner or any of the other MSG meals. The pressure begins to build, I start getting listless, weak ... my heart beats differently, sinus drainage begins to flow, my speech even slows to a slur.
I don't care why and I don't know why, I don't care what the FDA and other doubters say, I know what it does to me. The evidence is profound TO ME!
The nurse also asked me if I had trouble sleeping. Yeah, like every night no matter how tired I am. "No more MSG, but also cut out the caffeine. You do drink lots of coke, don't you," she asked. Yep.
I don't think it bothers everyone, but I believe children are the biggest victims. It blows me away that MSG is abused to such magnitude, :-) nobody can put a stop to it. Some day.
I'm not a health nut, but I've been athletic my entire life. I don't go crazy with supplements and I do drink, eat and have fun. For those visiting this message board thinking we're all a bunch of wierdos because of these claims, I can only respond by asking::: What do you do when you hurt?? I'm sure the answer would be that you take a pill. You do that because that is what works. For me, I stopped consuming MSG. I stopped, because that is what works for me.
Again, I tried to register. Any comments are welcome: casavarese@aol.com Cheers, Joe S.
