Most of this thread is well over my head, but I did pick up on this. I don't think Chojin meant that MSG is synthetic and organic at the same time, he's saying that MSG is organic and there are synthetic versions of it too. Or... the other way around. I suffer from one of those neurological conditions that you mentioned, so I watch out for MSG and it's counterparts in food, this includes it occurring naturally in tomatoes, mushrooms and crap, and also synthetically in a lot of other foods; mainly listed here as flavour preservative/enhancer 620 or 621.
Strangely enough, the levels of MSG found in some vegetables are not harmful to me in small doses.
