>>6598890 PB Escellent post on the Amygdala, critical for anyone with PTSD, Migrains and especially the opioid detox.
WHY is simple, but, important, especially with drug withdrawl and detox.
The Amygdala also contains the highest concentration of glutamate receptors in the brain, called NMDA receptors. (NMDA = N-methyl-D-aspartate, similar to aspartame)
When people eat glutamate, (or aspartame) in the form of autolyzed anything, hydrolyzed anything, commercially made broth, MSG, monosodium glutamate, etc they are eating the excitatory neurotransmitter that will cause the fight or flight system in the amygdala to over activate. The amygdala is responsible for separating trauma memory so a person can go on living normal life after trauma. The excitotoxic artificial levels of glutamate in the food will keep triggering the trauma memories and not let them fade to compartment. This is important for our soldiers to understand. SOLDIERS who have seen traumatic events should be protected from the US food supply or they will get PTDS!
Depending on the person, this can cause PTSD in the form of panic (flight) or rage (fight), which is the leading cause of Domestic and teen violence.
Artificial panic.
Artificially induced rage, from the food supply.
Where to find out how to get this neurotransmitter drug out of the food:

How to get rid of migraines and protect those who have PTSD from traumatic event memories that keep getting artificially re-activated through the food that causes excitotoxic overdose of the amygdala.
Use GABA Oolong tea. Use loose leaf. Buy on line if not available at local grocer. Bag types not strong enough. Buy the kind you can steep five times before throwing it out. MAKE it STRONG if having an attack or a migraine.
Example here:

There are many on line places to buy this tea that is a god-send to people who have been told they have "mental issues".
GABA is the inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain that controls glutamate and keeps it balanced. It is in this tea along with the green tea detox benefits.
GABA-pentin is the pharmaceutical version
Both shut the pain and other nerves off. The pentin was added to be able to patent the natural GABA. neurotransmitter, and sell it as a drug.
The tea is the best to use, because it is not the patented man made with the pentane ring on it.
It is a healthy antioxidant green tea with the ability to protect the nerves from an incidental glutamate overdose… whether from a restaurant, or if it happens accidentally at home.
At a minimum, 1/5 people get migraine headaches from eating glutamate. At mid point you get PTSD rage fits, panic fits, and then, if still over dosing, you get seizures. 1/20 get the panic/rage attacks and partial brain seizures. MANY are living with these medical issues because of the neurotransmitter in the food.
YES it "twangs" the tongue nerves.
THAT is why it is a "flavor enhancer"
But, it twangs 80% of the nerves, and that is a problem for many.
This is why people diagnosed with Borderline personality disorder also suffer amygdala volume loss and temporal lobe seizures.
At the very worst overload of glutamate, you can cause the nerves to stop the heart (which is why addicts have heart attacks after their bodies have been shaking (nerve over activation) their guts have diarrhea (nerve over activation) their sweat glands over activated, breathing over activated, racing heart etc.
Herione, oxy, fentanyl, valium, alcohol all raise GABA levels. If continuously taken, the brain creates more glutamate to level the brain glutamate to GABA ratio.
The brain wants balance.
Now, you suddenly take away the GABA because you take away the drug, and you get far too much glutamate… which can kill.
I have detoxed a Heroine addict starting with 8 pots of GABA Oolong tea a day in an emergency detox, to get the kid through the weekend to the doctor on Monday. IT worked well… with Benadryl to sleep, NSAIDS for the pain, Amodium for the diarreah protocol.
Migraine headache remedy the Doc and I have been using for 10 years:
2 caps shitake or wood ear, boiled 10 minutes and eaten. Water from the boil used to make mean Oolong Green tea.
Try it if you suffer migraines. Then.. watch the food?
