| Reason: We all have brain reserves—"extra" neurons that give us the ability to maintain cognitive function after neurological damage. Those who lose some of their brain reserves early in life and then go on to develop Alzheimer's will experience mental impairment more rapidly than those who have not had previous injuries, and therefore, have greater brain reserves.
What to do: Prevent strokes by keeping the cardiovascular system strong—do not smoke, manage blood pressure and cholesterol, and get regular exercise. |

The] only thing imaging can tell you is whether you have a brain tumor" or some other gross neurological damage, said Paul Root Wolpe of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Bioethics.75 The unfortunate fact remains that the most accurate way of gauging the thoughts and feelings of others is simply by asking people what they are thinking and feeling. |

EXERCISE
The appropriate take-home message on exercise during pregnancy is not that women should exercise during pregnancy but that they may. Too often, women have heard that maybe they should limit their exercise. It is not necessary to be so restrictive in exercise during pregnancy, although certain precautions should be observed. Despite conflicting opinions, information on exercise and pregnancy is plentiful, and its message is clear: low-impact, moderate exercise is safe during pregnancy. |

Although very rare, garlic breath can be a dead giveaway of arsenic poisoning, especially if the person also complains of a metallic taste.This is a medical emergency.
URINE- OR AMMONIA-SMELLING BREATH
Breath that smells like pee or window cleaner is hard to ignore, at least by others. And that's a good thing. Urine- or ammonia-smelling breath can be a warning sign of kidney disease or even life-threatening chronic kidney failure. |

Some foods that kids favor, such as peanut butter, raisins, and peaches, have among the highest levels of pesticide residue, and these pesticides can cause neurological damage in children.
¦ Organic foods taste better, thanks to the better-balanced soils in which they're grown.
Organic farming is better for the environment because it protects water resources and the soil. |

Indeed, the first labotatory primate study of manganese-induced neurological damage was published in 1924, establishing one of the earliest experimental models of Parkinsonism.103 organic manganese
Until the late 1980s, all of the world's scientific literature on manganese-caused Parkinsonism was limited to observations of the inorganic forms of the metal, simple oxides and salts that are processed and used rourinely in industrial applications. Then, in 1988, a disturbing study reported illness in agricultural workers exposed to a newly introduced chemical designed to kill fungus. |
| One of the strongest job-related Parkinson's links is among professional boxers, for whom repeated blows to the head can lead to a form of diffuse neurological damage in which Parkinsonism is a predominant feature. Muhammad Ali is the most famous victim of this condition, known by the lofty diagnostic label of dementiapugilistica.87
Two other examples are also important, not because they are widespread, but because they show how insidious the chemical triggers of Parkinsonism can be. |
| Low-level exposure to lead, introduced in the environment through tetraethyl lead added to gasoline, has been implicated as a cause of widespread, subtle neurological damage for millions of people around the globe. Those most at risk have been children, whose developing nervous systems are particularly prone to damage from toxins that affect the brain.
In the United States, the relatively recent elimination of leaded gasoline has been one of the greatest single environmental accomplishments of the last fifty years. |

Some, called excitotoxins, can cause neurological damage.91 Through selective breeding over centuries, harmful compounds in food have been suppressed. These include crops that have been genetically engineered, e.g. corn, soybean, canola, tomato, alfalfa, and potato.92 "However, secondary metabolism is highly plastic," warns the Royal Society, and "changes in enzyme levels" and/or other input levels "can have a marked effect93 on the final metabolite profile." It is "important to establish that transgene insertion has not significantly altered the secondary metabolite profile. |

Asian Ginseng
In animal studies, Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) has been shown to prevent high blood sugar levels and neurological damage caused by lack of oxygen to the brain. It also has been shown to enhance exercise performance, learning, and memory. In one study on dogs (Kwon 2003), red ginseng significantly helped lower liver enzyme levels and regenerate liver tissue in animals that had hepatic surgery.

Perhaps this higher consumption level will burden consumers and their offspring with equivalent chemical toxicity or at least reach a threshold level to trigger such neurological damage.
How many more kids' native intelligence and ability to cope with the complexities of life are being shortchanged because of their exposure in utero to these chemicals? How many such children does it take to significantly weaken the fabric that holds our society together?

If infants with specific metabolic, endocrine, and other disorders are identified by NBS in the first few days of life, the diagnostic process can be completed and treatment started before physical and neurological damage occurs. Many of the disorders screened by NBS programs are autosomal recessive. This means that each parent carries the affected gene and the incidence of an affected infant is 1 out of 4 for each pregnancy. Thus, affected infants identified by NBS usually do not have a positive family history of the disorder. |

Some amino acids have potentially toxic effects when taken in high doses (over 6,000 milligrams per day) and may cause neurological damage. These include aspartic acid, glutamic acid, homocysteine, serine, and tryptophan. Cysteine can be toxic if taken in amounts over 1,000 milligrams per day. Do not give supplemental amino acids to a child, or take doses of any amino acid in excess of the amount recommended unless specifically directed to do so by your health care provider. |

She was fortunate to not suffer any serious neurological damage or noticeable cognitive impairment from the cancer or the chemotherapy. Whether or not Nicki sustained minor neurological damage is still pending, but she does not appear to have any significant problems. Nicki feels well enough to go to school, play, and do everything else eight-year-olds do. She experienced little in terms of visible lysing effects during her recovery. Her MRI in June 2003 showed the tumor to be stable in size, but she doesn't act like she has a tumor at all, and it may be that the tumor is now benign. |

It causes neurological damage. We are only now at the threshold of medical science beginning to do any systematic examination of synergies.
Mike: Just to put in a real-world example of that, I would like to add that you can get that combination by drinking a Diet Pepsi and eating a bag of Doritos.
Fitzgerald: Absolutely. It is a children's meal. In fact, these researchers, at the University of Liverpool, wanted to examine what children commonly consume every day. |

You may think you already know everything there is to know about MSG, but I bet you had no idea of the neurological damage caused by MSG that will be revealed in this section. You probably also didn't know that this dangerous chemical is frequently hidden in other ingredients. I'll also reveal a massive cover-up involving MSG manufacturers, industry groups and the FDA that's designed to conceal the truth about this dangerous ingredient while protecting food industry profits.
But before we get there, let's cover the basics of MSG and why you should avoid it in your diet. |
| As you've seen in the studies mentioned in earlier sections of this chapter, MSG is especially noted for causing dangerous long-term effects:
One of the reasons why it is so difficult to convince the FDA bureaucrats of the connection between MSG and delayed brain damage in humans is because it may take years before clinical signs of neurological damage show up. This damage is slow and cumulative, with each dose of MSG or aspartate damaging a number of important brain areas. |

The experiments were conducted with the brain cells of rats and they show that contact with this ingredient called methylisothiazoline, or MIT, causes neurological damage.
Which products contain this chemical compound MIT? Head and Shoulders, Suave, Clairol and Pantene Hair Conditioner all contain this ingredient. Researchers are concerned that exposure to this chemical by pregnant women could put their fetus at risk for abnormal brain development. In other people, exposure could also be a factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease and other nervous system disorders. |

Suskind also covered up the documented neurological damage from dioxin exposures. At Workers Compensation hearings, Suskind denied that the workers experienced any neurological health effects. In the Kemner, et al. V.
