It sounds like you get very little MSG. You would be shocked to see what it is labled as, and here is a link for a clue:
http://www.truthinlabeling.org/hiddensources.html It only has to be labled MSG is its something like 99 percent pure, if its less than that they can disguise the MSG ingredient by calling it something else.... MSG occurs naturally in slow cooked foods as well because the slow cooking process releases glutamic acid from the proteins. In fact most of the damage from stroke happens because of the freed glutamic acid from the tissues in the brain! MSG is also a calcium channel opener, and magnesium counteracts it, and so does taurine, and vitamin c and others... MSG occurs naturally in fermented foods as well. Its truly a nightmare . Maybe the list can also prove to you that you have avoided the MSG bullet! I hope you are one.

I make everything fresh from scratch. I may buy a few things from Trader Joes but I read labels carefully and I have never seen msg listed on any of the few things I buy. Thanks.

My daughter Faith also with a heart condition , but from birth, had 2 clinically fatal heart attacks, ... They were really MSG reactions , but many times if one goes to the hospital with some kind of heart rhythm problem, they give magnesium to stabilize. Maybe calcium is part of the problem too as they are balanced. It would be a good idea to check out the MSG reactions to see if that fits your diet, and what symptoms you're having... Just google, or ask jeeves, theres more than you can read in a day ., lol Sincerely Barb M. -------Original Message------- From: Dee Date: 5/6/2008 2:30:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CS>Pacemaker I'm sorry to hear this Faith, and hope you find out what is causing it soon. Just a thought, do you take magnesium because this is supposed to be good for the heart.. I had a similar thing to this years ago, but I had taken an anti-biotic and forgot that you are not supposed to take other medication with it. I too fainted and had nausea; also having to have medication to stop it. Hope you find an answer soon.

I don't know how long I was there. When I woke up I was very nauseated and sick. I laid down for awhile but could not recover from the nausea and sickness. Finally had to call the rescue and be taken to the hospital.
