Aspartame Warning

 

Dear Subscribers:

 

As some of you know, I have been assisting the campaign to raise public

awareness of the hazards of Aspartame. This morning, I received the following

email that, while not very perfectly written, hits the nail on the head. Please

feel free to forward this:

In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick, she had stomach spasms,

she was having a hard time getting around, to walk was a major chore. It took

everything she had just to get out of bed, she was in so much pain. By March

2002, she had undergone biopsies, and was on 24 various prescription

medications. The doctors could not figure out what was wrong with her. She was

in so much pain, and so sick, she knew she was dying.

 

She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance etc. in her oldest daughters

name, and made sure her younger children were to be with her oldest daughter.

She wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a

wheelchair) for March 22nd. On March 19th I called her to ask her how one of her

tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe

she had MS. I thought, oh, my....then I recalled an article a friend of mine

emailed to me...and I asked her....Do you drink Diet pop? She told me yes, as a

matter of fact she was getting ready to crack one open that moment, I told her

not to open it, and stop drinking the diet pop....and I emailed her the

following article. She called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation

and told me she stopped drinking the diet pop, and she can walk..she went up the

stairs, and the muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but sure

felt a lot better. She told me she was going to!

her doctors with this article and would call me back when she got home.

 

She called me, and her doctor was amazed, he is going to call all of his MS

patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweetener. In a nutshell, she

was being poisoned by the aspartame in the diet soda, dying a slow death.

 

When she got to FL March 22nd, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a

pill for poisoning....she is well on her way to recovery.....and she is

walking!!!!! No wheelchair!!!!

 

This article saved her life!!!! The life saving article:

 

If it says " SUGAR FREE, " on the label, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! I have spent

several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on " ASPARTAME "

marketed as 'NutraSweet', 'Equal', and 'Spoonful'. In the keynote address by the

EPA, it was announced that in the United States in 2001 there is an epidemic of

multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, that it was hard to understand what toxin

was causing this to be rampant. I stood up and said that I was there to lecture

on exactly that subject.

 

I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of this

sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to

Formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis.

(Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants.) The methanol

toxicity mimics among other conditions multiple sclerosis.People were being

diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error.

 

The multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is!

 

Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis,especially

with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually does not know that

the aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use,aggravating the lupus

to such a degree that it may become life-threatening. We have seen patients with

systemic lupus become asymptomatic once taken off diet sodas. In the case of

those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in reality, the disease is

methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where

vision returned and hearing improved markedly. This also applies to cases of

tendentious.

 

During a lecture I said " If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal,

Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting

pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness,headaches, tendentious,

joint pain, depression,anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or

memory loss-you probably have ASPARTAME DISEASE! "

People were jumping up during the lecture saying, I've got some of these

symptoms: is it reversible? "

 

Yes! Not drinking diet sodas and keeping an eye out for aspartame on food

labels, yes! We have a very serious problem. A stranger came up to Dr. Espisto

(one of my speakers) and me and said: " Could you tell me why so many people seem

to be coming down with MS? "

 

During a visit to a hospice, a nurse said that six of her friends, who were

heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond

coincidence! Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi etc. IS NOT A DIET PRODUCT! The

Congressional Record states that it makes you crave carbohydrates and will make

you FAT. The formaldehyde stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and

thighs. Once off these products with no significant increase in exercise, etc.,

Dr. Roberts in his lecture stated that he had patient who lost an average of 19

pounds over a trial period.

 

Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. We found that physicians would

believe that they have a patient with retinopathy, when in fact the symptoms are

caused by aspartame. The aspartame drives the blood sugar out of control. Thus

diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid

and phenylalanine are neurotoxin without the other amino acids found in protein.

Thus it passes the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the

brain, causing in diabetics (as well as in patients not suffering from diabetes)

various kinds of brain damage, seizures, depression, manic depression, panic

attacks, rage, violence. (The Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet Coke and

diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially

to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome.)

 

Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects i.e. mental retardation if

taken at the time of conception and early pregnancy. Children are especially at

risk for neurological disorders and should NOT be given NutraSweet. I can relate

different case histories of children having mal seizures and other disturbances

being on NutraSweet.

 

Unfortunately it is not always easy to convince a mother that aspartame is to

blame for her child's illness. Only by trial and success will she be able to

warn other mothers to take their children's health in their own hands.

 

Stevia, a sweet herb, NOT A MANUFACTURED ADDITIVE, which helps in the metabolism

of sugar (which would be ideal for diabetics) has now been approved as a dietary

supplement by the FDA. For years the FDA has outlawed this sweet food because of

their loyalty to MONSANTO. Books on this subject are available:

EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT KILLS - written by Dr. Russell Blayblock (Health

Press 1-800-643-2665) and DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE - written by DR.

H. J. Roberts, also a diabetic specialist. These two doctors will be posting a

position paper with some case histories on the deadly effects of Aspartame on

the Internet.

 

According to the Conference of the American College of Physicians " we are

talking about a plague of neurological diseases caused by this deadly poison. "

Here is the problem:

 

There were Congressional Hearings when aspartame was included in 100 different

products. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings,

but to no avail. Nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very

deep pockets. Now there are over 5,000 products containing this chemical, and

the PATENT HAS EXPIRED!!!!!

 

I assure you, MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame knows how deadly it is. They

fund among others, the American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic

Association, the Conference of the American College of Physicians.

 

This has been exposed in the New York Times - to no avail. These Associations

cannot criticize any additives or convey their link to MONSANTO because they

take money from the food industry and have to endorse their products.

Senator Howard Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned all infants,

pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of aspartame. The bill would have

also instituted independent studies on the problems existing in the population

(seizures, changes in brain chemistry, changes neurological and behavioral;

symptoms). It was killed by the powerful drug and chemical lobbies, letting

loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting public.
