Thu Aug 28, 2003 9:09 pm What to do if you have used Aspartame - How to get well!! by Russell Blaylock, M.D., author of Health & Nutrition Secrets to Save Your Life and Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills So many ask what do I do to get the aspartame out of my body, how do I get rid of the symptoms and problems triggered by aspartame! Right in time for Aspartame Awareness Weekend is the information you have been seeking. But be sure to get his book, its packed full of the things to avoid and what to do. His web site is listed below. The Idaho Observer has just published a NEW Artificially Sweetened Times which contains more of the information that you want. Remember Aspartame Awareness Weekend is Sept 6th and 7th. Be sure when you get these you send one to your physicians because with full knowledge they can save the lives of thousands, your family, and give them out to your office, church, etc. If they are using aspartame they will know when they read it why they are sick. Always send to your congressmen. Be sure that you send this from Dr. Blaylock to everyone you know. Let's save a whole lot of lives. In Health & Nutrition Secrets you'll find your every question answered. Here is the information: All my best, Betty Martini, Founder, Mission Possible Intl, 9270 River Club Pariway, Duluth, Georgia 30397, www.dorway.com The most important starting point of any detoxification program is to stop exposure to the toxin or toxins. This means avoiding even small amounts, since once sensitized to the toxin even minute amounts can produce full-blown toxicity. This is especially so with accumulative toxins, such as aspartame. It has been shown conclusively that the metabolic products of methanol breakdown, formaldehyde in particular, accumulates on the DNA and cellular proteins. Once you have cleansed your diet of the toxin, removal of the toxin and its metabolic products from your system will begin. Central to this process is the body's detoxification system,, which exist in all cells of the body, with the bulk of detoxification taking place in the liver. The detoxification system is divided into two components called phase I and phase II, which work in tandem. Toxins pass through phase I and then pass to phase II where they are further detoxified and made water soluble for eventual disposal. It is now known that you can significantly enhance the bodys ability to detoxify these substances through the judicious use of specific supplements. Of the two systems phase II is most important and most often impaired. The following is a list of nutrients that enhance detoxification: * Indole-3 carbinol-100 mg twice a day. This natural substance enhances phase II. It is extracted from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussel9s sprouts and cauliflower. It can be purchased as an extract. * Taurine 500 mg a day- This is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is used by the liver for sulfonation reactions. It is to be taken between meals. * Milk Thistle (silymarin) 175 mg. Take two twice a day. This extract has been shown to substantially enhance liver detoxification and is also a very powerful antioxidant for all cells. * Curcumin- 500 mg three times a day with olive oil. This is an extract taken from turmeric. It is an extremely powerful antioxidant, enhances both phase I and II detoxification, is a radioprotectant, enhances bile flow, inhibits cancer growth, and is a very powerful anti-inflammatory. Also enhances DNA repair enzymes. * Panthethine 250 mg Take one capsule 3X a day- This vitamin is the enzyme form of pantothenic acid . It plays a vital role in enhancing the aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme. (for formaldehyde detoxification) * Thiamine- 100 mg. Take three a day. (vitamin B1) This vitamin plays a major role in protecting nerves as well as the brain. It is commonly depleted with pesticide exposure. * Pyrodoxyl-5 phosphate 50 mg- Take one a day. This is the functional form of vitamin B6. People exposed to chemical toxins frequently have low levels of this vitamin. When vitamin B6 is deficient, taurine is also low. It plays a major role in protecting against glutamate and aspartate toxicity. In addition to detoxification, other nutrients play a more direct role in protecting cells and in promoting their recovery from toxicity. These include: * Magnesium- 750 to 1000 mg a day. (magnesium citrate/malate) Magnesium plays a major role in cell protection, especially against excitotoxicty. In addition it protects against strokes and heart attacks. * Selenium- 200 ug a day. This mineral also plays a role in protecting cells from toxins, especially mercury. It plays a major role in protecting against free radicals. * N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC)- 750 mg a day. This is a substance that in cells is converted to glutathione. Glutathione is your cell9s major protection against free radicals produced by toxins such as aspartame.. In addition, NAC removes mercury. NAC also enhances detoxicifation. * Multi-3B2 vitamins- This should be a multivitamins that contains 25 to 50 mgs of each of the B vitamins. Take one a day. * Vitamin E (as mixed tocopherols) 400 IU twice a day. A powerful antioxidant, prevents heart attacks an stokes and the gamma- tocopherol is a powerful anti-inflammatory. * Vitamin C (as magnesium ascorbate) 2000 mg twice to three times a day. Plays a major role in cell protection against oxygen stress, protects the nervous system and enhances tissue repair. * CoQ10 100 mg twice a day. This is a major energy molecule and protects the brain against excitotoxicity. * DHA 200 mg a day. This is a component of omega-3-fatty acids. It plays a vital role in membrane repair and repair of synapses. In addition to avoiding aspartame you must avoid other toxins as well. This includes MSG, pesticides, herbicides, bug sprays, fluoride, mercury, cadmium, aluminum and the many other toxins found commonly in the environment. Many of these toxins act synergistically, that is, when combined they have toxic effects that exceed their additive effects. In addition, you need regular, moderate exercise (never aerobic), avoid cheese, and refined vegetable oils. Do not smoke or use drugs. All of these things increase free radical damage and prevent tissue repair. You should eat a diet high in vegetables and with some fruits, no sugar (or honey), moderate complex carbohydrates and pure water free of contaminants, including fluoride. Do not use fluoride tooth paste, mouthwashes or receive fluoride treatments. If you follow these principles you will notice quick recovery from your toxic encounter. More serious toxic encounters may take several months for recovery. My web site is www.russellblaylockmd.com for more information on my books.
