Glutamic and Aspartic Acid Reduced (G.A.R.D): The G.A.R.D.- an elimination diet for the treatment of most conditions afflicting man and his four-legged companions. The original meaning of the acronym was the glutamate & aspartate restricted diet, derived from the fact that The G.A.R.D. placed a premium on the elimination of two non-essential amino acids, glutamic and aspartic acid.
These are parent proteins in MSG and aspartame (NutraSweet), respectively- compounds that are now termed “excitotoxins”, being known triggers of seizures and other neurological disorders. These two neurostimulating amino acids clearly play a major role in the development and perpetuation of epilepsy, migraines, insomnia, ADHD, autism, fibromyalgia and numerous neurodegenerative diseases.
