Today's Wellness Tip From the Future...
http://drcarolyndean.com/tips?e=0147-2&p=3114 

Aloha,

Judy just wrote to tell me her experience with glutamates in a
magnesium supplement. I've also gotten many questions in the past
about magnesium aspartate. 

Judy said she was taking a magnesium "amino acid chelate"
supplement for about a month and found that her migraines worsened
along with some of her other symptoms. She said when she moved to a
higher quality magnesium that I recommend she began to improve. 

Judy said she got her information from a friend of mine. George Eby
had own miracle when he took magnesium for his depression. He's
devoted a whole website to his findings. 

Here is an excerpt from George's entry called Gluatmate Toxicity.
You can read the full report at: 
http://george-eby-research.com/html/depression-anxiety.html#glutamate

"The worst mistake you can make is to use a magnesium compound
called "magnesium amino acid chelate", or "chelated magnesium", or
"magnesium chelate". Why? Many times these products are in fact
magnesium glutamate or magnesium aspartate products and they will
very likely make your depression worse. I don't know why laws exist
to allow companies to label their products as a "chelate". That
makes as much sense as labeling a product a "magnesium compound" or
a "magnesium complex", since the words do not tell the full truth.
I strongly suggest that you look over this list of legal aliases
for the words "glutamate" or "aspartate."

-	chelate 
-	glutamate 
-	caseinate 
-	textured protein 
-	natural flavoring 
-	yeast food 
-	autolyzed yeast 
-	hydrolyzed protein 
-	hydrolyzed vegetable protein 
-	yeast extract 
-	hydrolyzed yeast 
-	natural chicken or turkey flavoring 
-	spices, and 
-	modified food starch

Any time you find a magnesium compound that contains the above
words in any kind of description, watch out! It will likely make
you much more depressed than if you did nothing at all, since all
of these words may (or may not) mean that glutamate and/or
aspartate is the main ingredient in the product. The reason I bring
this up is that a man from England bought and used a product
labeled "Magnesium Chelate" and got much sicker. This has also
occurred in the United States (very common) and Canada, and I
suspect elsewhere too. When I researched it, I found the product to
contain the magnesium complex of a modified food starch
(glutamate). Needless to say, it made him much, much sicker. He
barely survived since it very greatly worsened his depression and
suicidal tendency. You have been warned as loudly as I can scream
this warning!" 

Another friend, Dr. Russell Blaylock writes about the dangers of
glutamate and aspartate in supplements in his book Excitotoxins:
The Taste that Kills. About once a year I email him and ask if he
still thinks people should avoid magnesium aspartate and he says
"Absolutely."

I've personally never taken an amino acid chelate with glutamate or
aspartate so I rely on the experience of these two gentlemen who I
trust. See my previous post for my current magnesium
recommendations.http://drcarolyndean.com/2011/01/magnesium-recommendations/

P.S. I apologize in advance to people who write me with personal
health questions. I will no longer be able to answer them but must
confine myself to answering emails from clients and members of
Future Health Now! I am working on cloning myself and when that
process is complete I will then be able to answer the 100+ emails I
get every day. However, please send general questions that I may be
able to answer in my blog.
