Joe, Jackie and others, I took a look at both web sites and have concluded that I can't trust either. Each side has an ax to grind. The statement of the nomsg site that it "tricks your brain" has a distinctive pseudoscientific sound to it. MSG is "natural" (my pet word to debunk). It has been used in a natural form for hundreds or thousands of years. Whether it causes sensitivity reactions in some people or not I certainly doubt that it plays a significant role in PD either in the etiology or alteration of symptoms. If anyone has any credible info to the contrary I would like to see it. Charlie J. R.
