''Detailed and well-researched, yet is written in such a fashion the non-medical person will come away with a good understanding of the subject.'' -- Medical Sentinel

''Excitotoxins is a valuable contribution to the understanding of the brain, and the need to protect it from assaults that result in various health problems and diseases.'' --Townsend Letter for Doctors

''This is an electrifying and important book that should be available to every American consumer.'' -- Wilson Library Bulletin

''This text will be of most interest to those serious about protecting their health, as well as to medical professionals.'' -- Biosis

February 25, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a "Must Read" for anybody who has any ailments related to degradation of your neural system. Virtually all of your organs have glutamate receptors, so the ailments/symptoms could be varied and widespread. This includes Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

If you suspect you have any ailments that are related to degradation of your nervous system, stay away from MSG and ASPARTAME -- and the hundreds of related substances. Almost all processed foods have msg, aspartame, and/or other "hidden" variations of these chemicals. You can easily find the names of these hidden substances on the web. And you can find the brand names that are the worst offenders. Hint: canned soup is one of the top offenders.

Dr Blaylock is the No 1 expert on this field. Search him on the web. Read his book(s).

Schizophrenia Mental Health Must Read!

March 14, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is complicated not easy to read if you have no medical knowledge. However, if you can take away even partial understanding, your health will be improved. I have witnessed a family member with Schizophrenia go from screaming while laying on the floor with nonstop voices (even though never skipped any medication) after eating MSG laden soup and MSG fast food fried chicken to completely turning around. With proper restriction of glutamic acid in the diet,over time the voices ceased to where less medication was needed. This family member went from almost dying in a psychiatric facility to high functioning, back driving a car, able to trouble-shoot the computer, and NO voices while on less meds! This book discusses how glutamate is added to most of our processed foods which promotes an excitatory brain chemical effect. You can restrict these additives, improve your health, plus will have some weight loss as a added bonus feature! I've seen it and I'm grateful that Dr. Blaylock wrote this marvelous book which saved a life!

No better explanation than this anywhere

December 10, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is an in-depth report on MSG, glutamates and more. It explains medical causes and effects in layman's terms. It gets fairly deep. If you're looking for a quick fix, try something else. But if you want the whole story up until publication. Not sure of date, but this is an update in 1996. There is no better explanation than this anywhere. If you think you are allergic to MSG, just get it now. If you have children, get it now. Just get it. And tell everyone who will listen. Just know when to stop telling them or you'll have fewer friends. :-)

Read the book it will open your eyes

March 20, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I always believed there was a lot to avoid in the added chemicals in our food ... we have gone all organic for many years now but even then you need to check labels for such as organic soy or organic canola ... etc Read the book it will open your eyes to the causes of many problems you might not ever suspect are food related.

Not easy to read, but informative

April 6, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book will give you the motivation you need to wean yourself off the diet soda habit. It is not an "easy read" and I am an avid speed reader. The only downside is that ignorance "was" bliss, now I am aware of all the nasty stuff that is put into foods and drinks to make them more palatable. You really have to become very diligent about reading the fine print on ingredients in order to avoid some of the chemicals that are in foods, as they can be called by a variety of names and manufacturers are good at coming up with verbage that can be deceiving. Read with caution, as you may want to just stay in your house and eat organic bananas once you know what's out there!

This is one of the best books I've ever read and is extremely applicable to anyone who cares about their own or their family's health. Since the basic premises of this book have already been addressed, I would like to defend the author against unfair critiques.
I'm a doctoral candidate in environmental science with a research focus in toxicology, which means that I do fact check books and research articles and don't believe everything I read. Dr. Blaylock does a fantastic job of presenting the facts. He's brilliant and covers this topic very well. In fact, he cited 493 resources, which include plenty of legitimate sources such as the FASEB report. In addition, the administration of MSG in mammalian neonates is actually a research tool in endocrinology because it selectively causes degeneration of the arcuate nucleus (located within the hypothalamus).
I was curious why a book with so many positive reviews received such a negative review from you, Nathan Wood, but it appears that you rate everything you have reviewed negatively... maybe you have a financial interest in MSG.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is one neurosurgeon, who stepped out of the delusional, happy, prescription writing medical industry and dispelled how the excitotoxins in our food are linked to all the neurological and neurosurgical problems in today's world. Thanks to his book and other books and sites, I am free from hydrocephalus and seizures.
