When I woke up this morning, I asked myself, what are a few of the important things of life?
I found a few clues looking in my room…

And most importantly we must not forget what The Carpet said…

Have a good relationship with God, and to remember to kneel down and pray!

Carry a Heart that Never Hates.

Carry a Smile that Never Fades.

Carry Understanding & Love for one another.

HAVE A PURPOSEFUL DAY IN THE LORD!

‘God Blesses Us To Be A Blessing Unto Others’

Jeremiah 29:11 “for I know the plans I have for YOU, declares the LORD…’
Be still for a while and praise God for His favor, His grace and His Awesomeness.
God is able to do the impossible and is always near.
He loves us unconditionally.

MSG : The Slow Poisoning of America

June 23, 2010February 19, 2012
by RejuvInstitute

MSG hides behind 25 or more names, such as Natural Flavoring, Accent, Aginomoto, and Natural Meat Tenderizer. MSG is even in your favorite coffee from Tim Horton’s and Starbucks coffee shops! I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, and so did John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario , Canada , and spent years working for the government. He made an amazing discovery while going through scientific journals for a book he was writing called,

The Slow Poisoning of America.

In hundreds of studies around the world, scientists were creating obese mice and rats to use in diet or diabetes test studies. No strain of rat or mice is naturally obese, so scientists have to create them. They make these creatures morbidly obese by injecting them with MSG when they are first born.

The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates, causing rats (and perhaps humans) to become obese. They even have a name for the fat rodents they create: “MSG-Treated Rats”.

When I heard this, I was shocked. MSG is in everything — Campbell ‘s soups, Doritos, Lays flavored potato chips, Ramen noodles, Hamburger Helper, Heinz canned gravy, frozen prepared meals, and Kraft salad dressings. Especially the “healthy low-fat” ones.

A Rat by Any Other Name is Still a Rat

Products that didn’t have MSG marked on the product label had something called ‘Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein,’ which is just another name for Monosodium Glutamate. When listed this way, American law does not require it to be listed as MSG. Why would they create a “fictitious” name for a ingredient?

Are they aware that many people don’t want to eat MSG?

It was shocking to see just how many of the foods we feed our children everyday are filled with this stuff. MSG is hidden under many different names in order to fool those who read the ingredient list, so that they don’t catch on. Another way to disguise the label MSG is to use a product name for it, such as Accent, Natural Flavoring, Aginomoto, and Natural Meat Tenderizer.

Some restaurants and food manufacturers call this their “secret spice” or “secret ingredient” in a way that gives them a free pass to use MSG and not put it on the label.

But it doesn’t stop there.

My teacher, Norm, and his family family went out to eat, and started asking at the restaurants what menu items contained MSG. Many employees, even the managers, swore they didn’t use MSG.

When they asked for the ingredient list, which was grudgingly provided, sure enough, MSG and Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein were everywhere.

Burger King, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, every restaurant — even the sit-down eateries like TGIF, Chili’s, Applebee’s, and Denny’s — use MSG in abundance. Kentucky Fried Chicken seemed to be the WORST offender : MSG was in every chicken dish, salad dressing and gravy. No wonder we loved to eat that coating on the skin — their secret spice was MSG!

So why is MSG in so many of the foods we eat?

Is MSG a preservative, or a vitamin?

Not according to John Erb. In his book, The Slow Poisoning of America, he said that MSG is added to food for the addictive effect it has on the human body.

Even the propaganda website sponsored by the food manufacturers lobby group supporting MSG explains that the reason they add it to food is to make people eat more.

A study of the elderly showed that older people eat more of the foods that it is added to. The Glutamate Association lobbying group says eating more is a benefit to the elderly, but what does it do to the rest of us?

‘Betcha can’t eat [just] one,’ takes on a whole new meaning where MSG is concerned! And we wonder why the nation is overweight!

MSG manufacturers themselves admit that it addicts people to their products. It makes people choose their product over others, and makes people eat more of it than they would if MSG wasn’t added.

Not only is MSG scientifically proven to cause obesity, it is an addictive substance. Since its
introduction into the American food supply fifty years ago, MSG has been added in larger and larger doses to the pre-packaged meals, soups, snacks, and fast foods we are tempted to eat everyday.

The FDA has set no limits on how much of it can be added to food. They claim it’s safe to eat in any amount. But how can they claim it’s safe when there are hundreds of scientific studies with titles like these:

‘The monosodium glutamate (MSG) obese rat as a model for the study of exercise in obesity.’ Gobatto CA, Mello MA, Souza CT , Ribeiro IA. Res Commun Mol Pathol Pharmacol. 2002.

‘Adrenalectomy abolishes the food-induced hypothalamic serotonin release in both normal and monosodium glutamate-obese rats.’ Guimaraes RB, Telles

MM, Coelho VB, Mori C, Nascimento CM, Ribeiro. Brain Res Bull. 2002 Aug.

‘Obesity induced by neonatal monosodium glutamate treatment in spontaneously hypertensive rats: An animal model of multiple risk factors.’ Iwase M, Yamamoto M, Iino K, Ichikawa K, Shinohara N, Yoshinari Fujishima. Hypertens Res. 1998 Mar.

‘Hypothalamic lesion induced by injection of monosodium glutamate in suckling period and subsequent development of obesity.’ Tanaka K, Shimada M, Nakao K Kusunoki. Exp Neurol. 1978 Oct.

No, the date of that last study was not a typo; it was published in 1978. Both the ‘medical research community’ and ‘food manufacturers’ have known about the side effects of MSG for decades.

Many more of the studies mentioned in John Erb’s book link MSG to diabetes, migraines and headaches, autism, ADHD, and even Alzheimer’s.

So what can we do to stop the food manufactures from dumping this fattening and addictive MSG into our food supply and causing the obesity epidemic we now see?

Several months ago, John Erb took his book and his concerns to one of the highest government health officials in Canada While he was sitting in the government office, the official told him, “Sure, I know how bad MSG is. I wouldn’t touch the stuff.” But this top-level government official refuses to tell the public what he knows.

The big media doesn’t want to tell the public either, fearing issues with their advertisers.

It seems that the fallout on the fast food industry may hurt their profit margin. The food producers and restaurants have been addicting us to their products for years, and now we are paying the price for it.

Our children should not be cursed with obesity caused by an addictive food additive.

But what can I do about it? I’m just one voice! What can I do to stop the poisoning of our children, while our governments are insuring financial protection for the industry that is poisoning us?

This message is going out to everyone I know in an attempt to tell you the truth – that the corporate-owned politicians and media won’t tell you.

The best way you can help to save yourself and your children from this drug-induced epidemic is to forward this article to everyone. With any luck, it will circle the globe before politicians can pass the legislation protecting those who are poisoning us.

The food industry learned a lot from the tobacco industry. Imagine if big tobacco had a bill like this in place before someone blew the whistle on nicotine?

If you are one of the few who can still believe that MSG is good for us and you don’t believe what John Erb has to say, see for yourself. Go to the National Library of Medicine at www.pubmed.com. Type in the words “MSG Obese” and read a few of the 115 medical studies that appear.

We, the public, do not want to be rats in one giant experiment, and we do not approve of food that makes us into a nation of obese, lethargic, addicted animals, feeding the food industry’s bottom line while waiting for the heart transplant, the diabetic-induced amputation, blindness, or other
obesity-induced, life-threatening disorders.

With your help we can put an end to this poison. Do your part in sending this message out by word of mouth, e-mail, or by distribution of this printout to your friends all over the world and stop this ‘Slow Poisoning of Mankind’ by the packaged food industry.

Blowing the whistle on MSG is our responsibility, so get the word out.

What is Homeopathic hCG and How Does it Work…

June 13, 2010April 3, 2012
by RejuvInstitute

Homeopathic hCG is a weight loss remedy used as a substitute for hCG hormone by many following the protocol of Dr. A.T.W. Simeons. Homeopathic hCG as well as all other homeopathic remedies are created by submitting natural substances to a specific dilution processes. The result is a remedy in which the solution only contains the “frequency” of the natural substance. Homeopathic hCG, like other homeopathic remedies, has been found to produce a very similar effect to its original substance, without any known side effects.

So how does the homeopathic hCG work? In order to understand this, we must first understand the three types of fat as outlined in Dr. A.T.W. Simeons’ research. The first is structural fat. This is the fat that your body uses as padding for your bones and organs. It is essential to a healthy life. Second is reserve fat. This is the fat supply on which your body relies for fuel when intestinal intake is lower than needed. This too is an essential supply. The final is excess stored fat. This is the unwanted fat that accumulates around the midsection, hips, arms, thighs, butt, etc. Toxins are stored in this fat and in excess, it can cause a host of health issues. The problem is that stored fat is not readily available to the body as energy, thus, it is very hard to lose. As a result, this became the subject of Dr. Simeons research.

According to Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, the hypothalamus gland in the brain acts as the control tower of the body, affecting many functions, including metabolism and fat storage. He found that hCG acted on the hypothalamus to cause the mobilization of stored fat within the body. This resulted in fat redistribution for his patients, however, they did not lose or gain weight during this original hCG protocol. Dr. Simeons then hypothesized that once this fat was mobilized, it would be available to the body for energy. He tested this hypothesis by placing patients on a low calorie diet while they were taking the hCG. It worked! Simeons’ patients lost weight safely and were not hungry because. He discovered that hCG allowed that the once stored fat was being put back in the blood stream and used by the body as energy.

Dr. Simeons’ original program utilized injections of hCG hormone which are not suitable for widespread use. The effectiveness of his protocol resulted in the creation of homeopathic hCG which made the program more accessible to all.

Article Update: Due to its booming popularity, “lack of research” and the recklessness of very few suppliers, the FDA stepped in and ceased the sale of hCG in late 2011. They stopped the use of a hormone that millions had found effective in promoting weight loss. This is of course a devastating blow. We can, however, find some consolation. Too many people were relying too heavily on this quick fix and not addressing the underlying imbalances or lifestyle issues that caused the problem in the first place. So while one door closes, those who search will find another open in the arena of custom programs that promote long term, sustainable results.
