Something To Think About
===================

Having a problem with MSG side effects?

You suffer with headaches, depression, fatigue, dizziness, ADHD and - in the most extreme cases - possibly even Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis or other neurological problem. You also found they were attributed to MSG in your diet but you cut out all MSG in your diet and symptoms continue?

You may have thought you stopped ALL MSG but did you know that MSG is not always listed as such. It is listed simply as 'artificial flavors.' Check out your kitchen cupboards and read the labels of everything in them. Notice how many things list, 'natural and artificial flavors.' Odds are, almost everyone contains MSG without you knowing it."

MSG apparently attacks the hypothalamus, causing amplified insulin surges, and sometimes even causing diabetes and obesity! MSG eats away at the myelin sheath, the outer covering of the nerves in the nervous system (brain and spinal column).

Remember that old joke: With treatment, a cold lasts two weeks; without treatment it lasts 14 days?

Well, researchers from the University of Virginia proved that the joke is no laughing matter.

Physicians studied 346 patients who had common colds, and isolated viruses in 83 percent of the patients, reports the Journal of Clinical Microbiology. For those patients with documented virus infections, the cold lasted 11 days. For those with no documented infection, the cold lasted 11.5 days.

To Detox or Not?

Spring is not only a time to clean the winter cob webs out of your house but also the time to detox (clean cob webs from your internal system) your body! For a healthy and happy summer detoxing your body to give it a healthy start is imperative. In A Natural Environmental Health Facts ezine March 27 I told you how to detox naturally and effectively.

If you've chosen a good detoxing program you may think it's the wrong one if you do not know what to expect?

Symptoms experienced by those especially toxic and/or proof that your cobweb sweeping program is working!

- HEADACHES indicative of toxins from food chemicals, pesticides, polluted environments and/or over-medication.

- SKIN RASHES skin care, chlorine bathing and other body products that have absorbed below the skin's surface and is coming out in rash form.

- CONSTIPATION indication that toxins have accumulated in the lower intestinal tract and is indicative of dehydration and/or lack of natural oils and fats. You must increase water intake, and increase your liquid minerals by - 1 teaspoon a day.

- DIARRHEA toxins escaping via the bowels and indicative of an imbalance of nutrients, which will require correction with supplements or eating more raw fruits and vegetables as soon as your detoxing fast is completed.

- FLUE-LIKE SYMPTOMS A symptom of just how toxic you were and/or you have an immune system illness and detoxing is pulling toxins from the entire body, excreting through the urine, bowels, and blood as well as through the skin all at the same time.

- MALAISE - toxins exiting the body can sometimes be compared to a short-term illness. Make sure you get plenty of rest. Be patient and maintain faith, while allowing your body to cleanse and begin recovery!

Detoxing is something that every body needs to do following a long winter of sedentary, comfort food imbibing life.

People who do detoxing are usually looking for a healthier life and seven year round proven steps to health can be found by clicking here

The Shoot You Can Eat And Lose Weight!

A fantastic food that has almost no calories if you leave off the butter!

As I picked the fat green shoots out of our patch I ate one, after washing it of course, and began to wonder what is so great about this vegetable. That's how a lot of my food columns come to be… Here is what I found on investigation!

Asparagus: A great source of vitamin E, asparagus (asparagi?) are also loaded with known phytochemicals to help fight cancer (glutathione, for example) and as a natural diuretic, will help get rid of that excess water weight.

The asparagus we eat are actually shoots from the earth-covered root of the asparagus plant. The shoots are cut after 3 to 7 days of growth.

Asparagus exceeds other vegetables as the leading supplier of Folic Acid. Providing folacin. Folacin is necessary for blood cell formation, growth, and prevention of liver disease. Clinical trials have demonstrated a significant link between Folic Acid intake and the prevention of neural tube defects that can cause paralysis and death in babies. - Low in Calories, less than 4 calories per average spear.

     - Very Low in Sodium
     - Vegetable Protein
     - A source of Fiber
     - Contains Vitamin A
     - Contains Potassium
     - Contains Vitamin E
     - A significant source of Vitamin B6
     - A significant source of Thiamine
     - One of the richest sources of Rutin, a strengthener of capillary walls
     - Contains Glutathione.
Glutathione (GSH) is one of the strongest Anti-Carcinogens and Antioxidants found in the body. Glutathione has a function to protect cells from oxidative damage and detoxify carcinogenic electrophiles, consequently preventing damage to DNA. Therefore Glutathione functions as a primary defence against chemicals that can cause cell transformation or cell death. Asparagus was found to have the highest Glutathione content of several foods that were tested.

CHOOSING ASPARAGUS: Select asparagus with tightly bunched tips (pass if the tips are loose), and minimum of woody white stalk at the bottom. Wrinkled or pithing stalks indicate age and dehydration and the taste may not be as good. When asparagus is fresh, there is no difference in taste or texture between thin and fat stalks (no matter what you've heard!).

Cooking Asparagus: Since most of asparagus nutrients are in the tip, its best to cook it upright in a tall container. Tie the asparagus in a bunch after cleaning, place in standing position in 1-2 inches of boiling water. Cook just until stalks soften.

If you don't have a pan tall enough, try this: make a very light butter sauce – I find that half butter and half virgin olive oil makes a healthy and tasty sauce - in a wide, flat pan. Cool. Add a touch of water and heat. Lay the washed wet asparagus in, cover and steam or simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. I have a steamer that I lay the cleaned asparagus in and steam, without butter or water, for about 5 minutes for crunchy goodness. Sprinkle with seasoned rice vinegar or lemon for a real treat!

Enjoy!

BIOGEN IDEC AND ELAN ANNOUNCE VOLUNTARY SUSPENSION OF TYSABRI®

Cambridge, MA and Dublin, Ireland (February 28, 2005) -- Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB) and Elan Corporation, plc (NYSE: ELN) announced today a voluntary suspension in the marketing of TYSABRI® (natalizumab), a treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS). The companies are suspending supply of TYSABRI from commercial distribution and physicians should suspend dosing of TYSABRI until further notification. In addition, the companies have suspended dosing in all clinical trials.

This decision is based on very recent reports of two serious adverse events that have occurred in patients treated with TYSABRI in combination with AVONEX® (Interferon beta-1a) in clinical trials. These events involve one fatal, confirmed case and one suspected case of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare and frequently fatal, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Both patients received more than two years of TYSABRI therapy in combination with AVONEX.

The companies' actions have been taken in consultation with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Worldwide regulatory agencies are being kept informed.

The companies will work with clinical investigators to evaluate TYSABRI-treated patients and will consult with leading experts to better understand the possible risk of PML. The outcome of these evaluations will be used to determine possible re-initiation of dosing in clinical trials and future commercial availability.

"Our ongoing commitment to MS patients has led us to take these steps," said Burt Adelman, MD, executive vice president, Development, Biogen Idec. "Because we believe in the promising therapeutic benefit of TYSABRI, we are working to evaluate this situation thoroughly and expeditiously. While we work through this matter, we must place patient safety above all other considerations."

"We are working with leading experts and regulatory agencies to responsibly investigate these events and to develop the appropriate path forward," said Lars Ekman, MD, executive vice president and president, Research and Development, Elan. "Our primary concern is for the safety of patients."

In total, approximately 3,000 patients have been treated with TYSABRI in clinical trials of MS, Crohn's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. To date, the companies have received no reports of PML in MS patients receiving TYSABRI monotherapy or in patients with Crohn's disease or rheumatoid arthritis in TYSABRI clinical trials. Biogen Idec has received no reports of PML in patients treated with AVONEX alone, a product that has been on the market since 1996.
