Excitotixin Glutamate : New Key to Learning Problems

Dr. Russel L. Blaylock MD provides information on glutamate as an excito-toxin. Yes, you knew that Accent and meat tenderizer was to be avoided, but did you know how pervasive glutamate is, in the American diet? Did you know that it is often mis-labelled or hidden in food? (We do tell you what to look for.) Did you know That is causes learning problems and anxiety/depression?
Also included, is a discussion of how we know, how to tell if something is scientifically true and what passes for science.

Why is this all good news? Because if you know what is poisoning your child — or you — then you can stop it! Of course, it is not good news that we are poisoning ourselves, but it is great news that we can do something about it easily. Stories that tell us to lower our expectations, figuring that God had simply put some limitations on us, is just not right. God wants total well-being for us. God didn’t bring the brokenness to the world; God created the world good. It is his gracious gift to teach us how to align with and use that world properly.

Dr. Blaylock has a number of books out. An older one is *Excitotoxins, the Taste that Kills.* Please check for his works at your favorite bookseller. Or look for him at BlaylockWellness.com.

Thanks so much to the family friend that went out of her way to let me know about Dr. Blaylock and the dangers of excess glutamate.

The Mission of the GSB Ministry

Did you know that I started this to help mothers with children who had learning problems (aka “Learning Disabilities”)? Of course, I want to stay rooted in faith — faith to find natural solutions as much as to receive supernatural miracles! Did I go too far in failing to say “learning disabilities” so that the search engines couldn’t help you find me?

Of course, everything is connect to everything in some way. Better nutrition for better brains is an interest of the grandparent generation maybe even more than it is of most moms. Of course, education reform is of interest maybe even more to educators than to moms of children with special needs. Maybe moms want more faith talk. Maybe some moms tolerate the faith talk to get new practical ideas.

Please tell me who you are and what you are interested in? Help me help you, yes? And engage so we can be a better tribe. Like Junia and I said, we are lionesses: we go get what our cubs need. We work together with other mothers in our family and in our community. Engage with us, okay? (BTW, there is a Facebook page, too. Post funny things there, if you like. Comment below, if you like. Email me or mail me. ) Just let us hear from you. Thanks! Sharon

Miracles from Innovated Education – at Home!

Continuing to celebrate our 10th anniversary, I am posting the second part of the story of the healing of my grandsons. On some platforms only current episodes are posted, so many people may not have heard this part of the story. It is an important part. Faith without works is dead. All too often, no matter what the problem is, people give up too quickly. A miracle or a rescue is only the first step at lot of time. Keeping taking good steps! I am sure this is a story of hope to those whose children have problems, to those who have problems, and to those who see problems in the world. It is my prayer that my story helps someone else!

Next we are going to run a little series on the problems of youth, as we so often do in the summertime. I have an interview with someone who overcame an addiction to gaming. This screen addiction seems ever more prevalent. Then, because the Dani Johnson interview on porn has been so popular, I am working on getting some interviews on that and similar problems. I hope we will be able to get some more ideas for you about fun things to do with your children.

Then in late summer or in the fall, I hope to do a series on health, covering some new research. Much of this will apply to not only children but also older people. I think you will be amazed.

For generations, the wife and mother of the family took the responsibility for the health and happiness of the family. What with increased economic responsibility, often this other duty is forgotten. So often I hear, “well nothing can be done” or “who knows”. Well, we do know. And something can be done. And the health, happiness and success of your family depends upon it.

I am eager to do a series on character education, too, as I have come to realize how vitally important it is. Some others are working on this, but again, the common philosophy is that nothing can be done, which is of course incorrect. It may be the most important thing to do!

Thanks for listening. Please send your questions.

Testimony of Miraculous Healing – 10 Year Anniversary

Today, June 8, 2017 is the 10 year anniversary of the first day The Great Shalom Broadcast went on the air. So, please hear the story again! (Oops, no it is only 9 years! Senility or innumeracy or wishful thinking? Oh no! Anyway, it is an anniversary and the story bears repeating.)

When my dad questioned whether I should stop working for a semester to home educated my grandsons after their accident, I explained that I could work a lifetime and not earn enough money to pay for the kind of therapy I could give them. Furthermore, there was no point in saving for their college if they could never read. He understood. Then my pastor questioned whether I should go, and I told him the same thing. “Can you really do that?” he asked. “Yes.” “Then write a book!” Well, the book is written.

My book, Learn at Home for Great Shalom was written to cover all learning needs of any child, especially those with special needs/learning disabilities. Guess what: we all have special needs! So in a home education system, we are impoverishing ourselves if we merely replicate what public school does. It was set up to deliver basic skills and basic assimilation for the masses. They wanted immigrants to understand the American system and be able to work in the factories. The understanding the elites want the masses to have has changed, but the basic mission of public school has not. By contrast, the far-seeing Christian parent wants to inculcate in their particular children the kind of mind, character, and personality so that they will thrive, prosper and lead.

The best education is aimed at furthering a particular child’s talents, overcoming his/her weaknesses, cultivating the joy of learning, promoting good character, superior academic skills, superior thinking, and superior vocational skills. A far cry from the aim of public school! So when a parent is considering how to plan for their child’s education, they need a great deal more to guide them than merely purchasing a curriculum that may merely cover basic academics. My book offers all these questions and gives pointers to where to find various resources. It helps the parent choose which method, which curricula, and which directions to go. It helps the parent be sure that everything is covered.

But who reads books? I felt to create a radio program. The pastors I consulted said it would be impossible. It is true that in today’s day and age, Christian radio programs don’t pay for themselves. But, I felt God wanted me to do this and I have beat the impossibility, by having a solvent ‘cast since then.

In the ‘cast, I address the underlying need, for parents to have hope and faith. Without that, they won’t look for or even see the resources for their children. So I preach faith and hope and share great ideas, often letting other experts share good ideas from their expertise. And we have had some great interviews! I tell the pastor of one denomination he is only responsible for the good idea he brings, and not all the ideas that the pastor from another denomination may hold. We are just sharing good ideas. That is true for the teachers, the psychologists, and every other “denomination” too. Sometimes listeners haven’t liked an idea I’ve brought, but everything is back by science, Bible, or experience. I work for all three together! Anyway, if you don’t like one episode stay tuned, for we move on.

Or you could comment. Blogs are good that way.

Please help us celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Share my testimony with anyone who needs it. Consider how you might participate – either sharing, or purchasing a resource, or giving. BTW, I discovered over the years that the 501(c)3 was not paying for itself, so giving is really giving here. I offer the convenience of good products, but sales do not pay for the tech let alone for the time for this podcast. It remains a labor of love — to help someone else.

Times have changed and so have needs. I continue to think about a daily prayer cast and a cast for the grandparent generation. However, the limitations of time and money weigh against. Please weigh in! Tell me what you need; what you think others need.
