Excitotoxins and Neurodegenerative Diseases

Have you ever wondered why neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s Chorea and Parkinson’s are becoming more common? There are many causes of neurodegenerative diseases but one of the most destructive ones is excitotoxin. Independent researchers concluded that excitotoxins stimulate nerve cells to death because they cause them to fire very rapidly. The overstimulation of nerve cells is caused by an increase of glutamate and aspartate.

Amphetamine and Parkinson’s Disease

The drug amphetamine is classified as an excitotoxins by private drug researchers. They suggested that amphetamine stimulates certain nerve cells to death, which is why they believed it is a major contributor to Parkinson’s disease. The way amphetamine stimulates nerve cells cause them to deplete their ATP and phocreatinine faster. Excitotoxins such as amphetamine, MSG and aspartame (an artificial sweetener), destroy nerve cells similar to how power surges destroy electrical devices but just not as intense. Private drug researchers found that amphetamine can cause destruction to a group of neurons that is a part of the nigrostriatal system.

MSG: The Food Enhancer That Kills

MSG is added to a wide variety of food, such as soups, fast food, chips, frozen foods, microwave foods, canned foods, junk foods and even baby food. Many independent researchers that are not influenced by the food industry, suggested that MSG played an important role for neurodegenerative brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease. Many neuroscientists classified MSG as an excitotoxin because they believed it destoyed nuerons in cells.
