CSemergen-c and other medicines

2008-08-10 Thread Hanneke 


On another forum they are discussing the (possible?) damage of the
aspartic acid in Emergen-C.
Wayne, you have often recommended this, especially as a quick
pick-me-up.
What are your thoughts on this?
Hanneke

Well, you can get
Emergen-C without the sweetener...which I believe I will from now on out
(hearing my favorite pick-me-up is poisonous is like finding out my
favorite uncle is a serial killer!). In researching this topic a
bit more,
I ran across these posts about it:


Emergen-C contains Aspartic Acid 
Based on all of the positive responses I got from my last post, I decided
to try the Emergen-C. I tried it for a few days and was able to keep it
down. I could tell a difference (for the better) after taking it.
However, yesterday I was on another forum that was talking about the
artificial sweetener aspartame. Someone wrote in and said that was made
up of 40% aspartic acid. I remember reading that on the other
ingredients list on my Emergen-C box

 (but didn't make the connection at the time). 
I am not a scientist/chemist but I am very hesitant about taking this
now Which sucks because I was really starting to like this stuff and
its benefits. I'm not sure what to do.

 Can you all give me your opinion, here are some things I've found so
far: 

http://www.unhinderedliving.com/aspartame.html
Even though both phenylalanine and aspartic acid are amino acids that
are present in the food we eat, and are safe when eaten naturally in
foods with other amino acids present, taken alone and in elevated
quantities they are neurotoxins which can permanently damage the
developing brain and nervous system of the fetus, if the child is lucky
enough to survive the potential destruction by the maternal immune
system. Aspartic acid is an excitotoxin, which stimulates the neurons
until they die(5).

ok, so there is a wide variety of naturally occuring acids found in 
food- this is a good thing, and I would assume they are in some sort of 
balance. I have had amazing results combating anaphylaxis using this 
product, along with alka seltzer gold, and it often reverses the 
swelling. If not, I used to have to dig out the epinephrine and the 
antihistimines.


I have experimented with using the ionic silver to stimulate my immune 
system when my throat goes blooey, and it helps too, but not as good as 
the emergen-c.  I am very happy it is not happening much these days.


I do not care much if there is a little aspartic acid it it, since it 
is such a good product, and I mostly eat only real food, no junk.
