In this episode, they talk about excitotoxins. According to the Medilexon definition, excitotoxins are "toxins that bind to certain receptors (certain glutamate receptors) and may cause neuronal cell death; excitotoxins may be involved in brain damage associated with strokes". So excitotoxins excite and kill healthy cells, actually causing cancer to originate in the body.
Why do we need to worry about excitotoxins? Well, food manufacturers put these into foods, not because they are needed in any health food reason but rather to stimulate your taste receptors and make these certain foods "tastier" to eat!!! Dr. Cathie Lippman, founder of the Lippman Center for Optimal Health says that, "“Excitotoxins cause a brain cell to become very excited and your neurons basically fire spastically until they finally burn out, but far worse is the neural death that occurs several hours after this this spastic neural firing. Yes, the neurons simply die, as if they’ve been literally excited to death. Once you lose those neurons, they are gone for good. The damage cannot be repaired."
Some of the most common excitotoxins are: Sucralose, including: aspartame and Splenda and Monosodium Glutamate (MSG). MSG is disguised under other names:
- Natural flavor(s)
- Flavoring
- Hydrolyzed vegetable protein
- Autolyzed protein
- Plant Protein
- Textured Protein
- Yeast extract
- Nutritional yeast
- Carrageenan
- Anything with glutamate
These excitotoxins should be avoided at all costs. A person should restock their shelves with "nature's pharmacy"! Knowing this, a person really needs to become a label reader. Something I heard many years ago still rings true today to me, "if you can't pronounce or understand the ingredients on the label, then don't purchase it, it's not good for you!"
This leads us to really think about what we are allowing companies to "feed us"! As Ty Bollinger says. "it's a serious responsibility and the consumer should be given this vital information...we deserve to know". These companies need to be held accountable and stop hiding harmful ingredients by using aliases. We have the right to know what we are putting into our bodies and should not be fooled into a lifetime of sicknesses.
Viral Therapy, uses a virus to target and destroy cancer cells, has been proven to be very effective in the fight against cancer. It has also been approved by the FDA!!
