I would like to share one short story with you. I recently reviewed a cheese product that I bought on Amazon.com. I rated it very low because I understood when I bought the product that it was pure cheese. When I received the product I found that it had maltodextrin in it, of course, used as a flowing agent but rendering it useless to me as I do not want to ingest excitotoxins or anything remotely resembling MSG. This week I got an email from Amazon saying someone had responded to my review, so being curious I read it. The writer had the surname name of Collier and they attacked my review as being written by someone who was both "stupid and ignorant". "Maltodextrin is a flowing agent" Collier responded and a by product of sugar not MSG. I responded that he/she was correct it is a flowing agent but people with MSG sensitivities should not ingest items with Maltodextrin and thus my comment on my review of the cheesy bits. What do you think? Has your MSG story included items with maltodextrin? I know that Dr. Klinghardt feels that flowing agents like maltodextrin and magnesium stearate form a bio film on the lining of the gut and thus interfere with the absorption of most supplements that have those items listed as added ingredients. He has not dealt with the excitotoxins but "MSG Myth" does and maltodextrin is definitely included in the do not ingest list. I would love to hear from you and look forward to sharing your information with others. There really is a derth of information out there for the health oriented person and your information could save someone's life.

As I walked the aisles of the farmer's market in St. Paul, MN I found myself wishing for the aisles of my co-op, River Market, in Stillwater where I can buy locally grown produce that is pesticide and herbicide free and support the local merchants. Where is the savings or the superior food? I think buying produce there is debatable buying eggs and healthy meat is the real reason to go. Well, Appreciator, that is the question I am asking myself.

Strange how so many supplier at a "farmers' market" are not supplying pesticide-free products. Why not just go to a grocery store if you want conventionally-grown products? Seems like a farmers' market ought to provide something special, i.e. what you call sustainable. Mmmmmm, potatoes.

I am so jealous as I would love to hear Mercola speak sometime. I think we should get him to come to Minnesota! I recently bought the Sunsplash Vitamin D wall tanning system from Mercola and I intend to test its effectiveness this winter. Many of the experts seem opposed to taking Vitamin D supplements but in Minnesota our sunshine is only good for a few months so a supplement seems like the only answer for some people. <strong>You do know, if you live in MN, that Health East does Vitamin D testing for $40 and you don't need insurance to pay for it. You can walk in to the lab at Woodwinds or any Health East hospital and request a Vitamin D test.</strong> I think that is fabulous. I also warn people about Cod liver oil supplementation as Krispin Sullivan and others feel it has a disproportionate amount of Vit A and it throws the natural balance off. As for showering off the Vitamin D there isn't any need for soap anywhere but the underarm and groin, so that seems like a no brainer to me. However, some people will be put off by that one as it all gets too complicated. Hi Marie,

Dr. Mayer Eisenstein also spoke on getting the D levels up. His website is www.homefirst.com. He recently did a vitamin D webinar, and it is through his webinar that I found out the Rx vitamin D is not that great. I took 50,000 IU of vitamin D for 4 weeks with the Rx, and Dr. Eisenstein said 50,000 IU Rx vitamin D basically only amounted to 5,000 IU since the Rx Vitamin D is D2, whereas the supplements I was taking were the recommended D3 vitamin. By the time the D2 converts to the D3, a person is only getting 5,000 IU of D per week when they think they are getting 50,000 IU per week! Mercola said he was going to start offering the vitamin D testing sometime in the future. I have been ordering my tests from www.lef.org. since my insurance does not pay for testing. Mercola also told us that we should refrain from washing off the D from our skin by taking a bath for 48 hours after being in the sun. So the only thing I can figure out is to wash under the armpits! [smile] You may be able to access Dr. Mayer Eisensteins's Vitamin D webinar in his archives. Just thought I would pass on this information. People that are wanting to remove fillings can find information, counseling and a list of safe biological dentists by contacting DAMS, Dental Amalgam Mercury Solutions in Minnesota. The phone number is 651-644-4572. I am on their Board of Directors. Leo Cashman, the Executive Director, is very knowledgeable about holistic dentistry and the pitfalls surrounding the removal of mercury fillings when done by dentists who are not safe.

I have been trying to put the pieces together ever since Janie Bowthorpe started mentioning the problems with the new Armour formulation. My functional medicine doctor recently put me on Testosterone and Progesterone and it not only solved most of my problems with sleepless nights but seems to have helped with a number of other issues. Also I regularly make kefir out of fresh raw milk from a dairy in Wisconsin and drink it in a smoothie most mornings. Kefir is rich in probiotics and helps with digestive issues tremendously. Now I am wondering if the new formulation works perfectly with bodies that are in balance and leaves bodies that aren't in balance out in the cold. If I were you I would try some bio-identical hormones and probiotics and see if anything that simple helps with your adrenal issue as well. After all if most of the systems in your body aren't working properly that drains your adrenals. Thanks for adding your comment to my blog you may have helped me tremendously.
