I have read quite a few articles about salt and MS. I don't think it's very conclusive, but just thought I'd throw it out there ....so we have something else to worry about!

'High salt intake isnt just a concern for those with high blood pressure or heart disease anymore.
Three new studies, published together in the journal Nature, are raising the alarm that eating too much salt may put you at risk for a host of autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The primary study, conducted at Yale University by a team led by David Hafler, MD, a neurologist and immunobiologist, found that mice fed a diet high in sodium produced a flood of inflammatory infection-fighting helper T cells, a type of cell implicated in autoimmune disease. The mice then developed autoimmune encephalomyelitis, an animal version of multiple sclerosis.'

The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
"I started researching what [MSG] did to the brain and I was absolutely astounded by what I found," Blaylock told Adams, discoveries which led him to write his own book on the subject in 1994.
MSG is a form of concentrated salt added to foods to enhance the flavor. It's dangerous because, as Schwartz found, it can cause migraine headaches and balance difficulties, precipitate severe shortness of breath, asthma attacks and heart irregularities, cause disabling arthritis, and even serious depressions, not to mention behavioral problems in children."
