Liz - Not suggesting you change your diet... just commenting that it's undoubtedly highly individualized... as in Fran's case, she was very sensitive to the natural amino acid content, glutamate, in her food as she demonstrated by altering her cooking methods among other selective measures.
Dr. Blaylock who is a neurologist and retired brain surgeon helps people with severe brain issues and other neurological conditions resulting from the excitotoxins that manifest as a result of the imbalances which in the case of glutamate, push the elevated calcium levels and cause accelerated cell death. Many people have symptoms but the diagnosis of this as an underlying problem goes undetected because dietary intake for foods high in glutamate is often not scrutinized.
For new readers, this is one of many descriptions of the negative effects of high glutamate levels:
GLUTAMATE is an excitatory neurotransmitter that plays a major role in learning and memory. When glutamate (Glu) levels are consistently high, it can be an indicator of excitotoxicity (Alzheimer’s disease, senile dementia). Elevated glutamate levels are associated with panic attacks, anxiety, excess adrenal function, impulsivity, and depression. Low glutamate levels have been associated with agitation, memory loss, sleeplessness, low energy level, insufficient adrenal function, and depression. [www.holisticouncil.org]

Excessive accumulations of glutamate is the concern. As stated, glutamate is needed in very minor amounts but when (for some reason) the body is not clearing out all but small amounts, that's when the excitotoxicity issue is activated.
Quoting Dr. Blaylock:
... "when concentrations rise above a critical level, they can become deadly toxins to the neurons. This latter point is especially important. What it means is that excessive glutamate will not only kill the neurons with the receptors for glutamate but it will also kill any neurons that happen to be connected to it, even if that neuron uses another type of receptor. This becomes important in the discussions on Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease."
Source: Excitotoxins - The Taste That Kills, by Russell L. Blaylock, MD.
To herbal medicine and alternative treatment groups, he sells alternative treatments for neurological disorders that he claims stem from aspartame, MSG and other food additives."

. It is interesting that Withering recorded a patient who had a weak, irregular pulse that became “more full and more regular” after five draughts containing Fol Digital Purp oz iv. In 1935 Jean Baptiste Bouilland said that he considered digitalis to be “a sort of opium for the heart.”

Sure it can. If you have heart failure it might be appropriate for you. If you don't have heart failure and you're taking it for afib, you might want to find a doctor who has cracked a cardiology journal and attended a conference or two in the last 20 years.
