Oh dear,can someone please tell me how to delete a double post please? So much has changed since I was online last.
Oh and as a matter of interest I have been in bed sick for the last 3 months with early liver failure that has been aggravated by the MSG in my food. For the information of the banquet manager who adds it to his dishes.

Many times I have been glad to be allergic to most medications because it means less spent on unless drugs that end up in the sewer.
MSG is very similar to Aspartame (lets talk all the Sugar Free diet foods here) and one of the lovely side affects of both of these happens to be Methanol poisoning.Now if you have ever had a batch of bad beer (unlikely but possible) this is the same effect you get then.Gut pain like you wouldnt believe, headaches that make you want to rip your head off and itches just to name a few symptoms. Now granted it is unlikely that the average person would suffer this badly, however, the minor side effects are just as nasty and are more widespread than most give credit for. Didnt someone note that Thailand has one of the highest rates of damaged livers? Well when the liver is damaged the symptoms are much worse.Hence the need for headache meds etc. Vicious cycle really.
Placebo affect is very real and would serve well in this country for those who "need" the drugs for ailments that just dont have any cure except time.
Just my two cents worth.If you need more info on MSG and Aspartame the Wikipedia has a lot of information

Please make sure that your marriage is going to be a legal beneficial thing,There was a thread a few months back that said that if you were over 50 and marrying a Thai it was not going to be legal even if you married them in another country.I just wanted you to make sure just in case it created other visa problems
Hope this helps
