Just spoke to Ralf, the supplier of my Fulvic Minerals in the USA. He is flying interstate next week to liaise with the lab that is testing the health benefits of adding his fulvic minerals to the diets of people and livestock. Amazing results to date. I will advise more when the results are sent to me. If you are interested in adding minerals to your diet check out http://www.FulvicMinerals.com.au

Excitotoxins
When a food ingredient is 99 percent pure MSG it is called “monosodium glutamate” by the FDA and must be labeled as such. However, when a food product contains less than 99 percent MSG, the FDA doesn’t require that the MSG be identified. So it often appears on labels in various disguised forms, such as “hydrolyzed vegetable protein,” “spices” and “natural flavoring.” Here’s a quick list of potentially suspect ingredients to watch for (when in doubt, call the manufacturer to inquire).
* Ingredients that may contain 30 to 60 percent MSG: hydrolyzed vegetable protein; hydrolyzed protein; hydrolyzed plant protein; plant protein extract; sodium caseinate; calcium caseinate; yeast extract; textured protein; autolyzed yeast; hydrolyzed oat flour; Accent.
* Ingredients that may contain 12 to 40 percent MSG: malt extract; malt flavoring; bouillon; broth; stock; natural flavoring; natural beef or chicken flavoring; seasoning; spices.
* Ingredients that may contain some MSG: carrageenan; enzymes; soy protein concentrate; soy protein isolate; whey protein concentrate; some soymilk.

I am told they no longer teach breathing techniques in pre-natal classes.
Just insanity to get more girls to take drugs during childbirth. If you know anyone who is pregnant, suggest they get a qualified mid-wife to teach them how to breathe through contractions.
