The good news is that even if you have been consuming a diet heavy in excitotoxins, in most cases you can reverse physiological damages simply by avoiding excitotoxins and increasing nutrients that the brain uses to repair brain-cell connections. How? First, use common sense. Eating a diet of unprocessed foods is a sound plan for anyone wanting to feel healthier. Get smart about identifying various forms of Mono-Sodium-Glutamat (Natrium Glutamat) and what kinds of foods are likely to contain excitotoxins. Then avoid those foods and eat more antioxidant-rich foods that contain high amounts of vitamin A, C, and flavonoids. Green, leafy vegetables, including spinach, kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and collard greens are rich in antioxidants, says Blaylock, as are many fruits such as prunes, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. The spice turmeric is recommended, as are green, black and red teas.

Can nutritional supplements help repair excitotoxin damage? Blaylock says yes. He suggests taking the recommended daily dosage of several antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C and Coenzyme Q10. He also endorses Acetyl L-carnitine, L-carnitine, taurine, lecithin and Alpha-Lipoic Acid and recommends that you consult with a physician or licensed nutritionist for specific dosages.

Blaylock cautions that if you want to see improvements, you need to both avoid excitotoxins and increase your antioxidant intake. "You can't keep bringing in more excitotoxins and at the same time try to fight them," says Blaylock. "It's like if you have a hole in a boat: You have to plug the leak, not just bail water."

Take the two-pronged approach and, particularly if you have sensitivities to exitotoxins, chances are good that you'll notice positive changes quite quickly. "People who follow these guidelines often report a greater sense of well-being," says Blaylock. "Most will see a change within two weeks."
