* Kentucky - Aspartame

Death Capital Of The US

*From Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum Bettym19

7-27-5 The letter below is from Sharon Bevins, Mission Possible, Pound,

Virginia. An extremely interesting point is she says leukemia should be

included in the diseases triggered by aspartame, not knowing that the

Italian Study has just proven the point. Here is her research: Regards,

Betty My name is Sharon Bevins, Mission Possible Pound, Virginia. I have

been an elementary teacher in Wise County, Virginia for twenty-four years. I

have been interested in nutrition for years, solely to obtain better health

for myself. I had gone through a traumatic divorce in l980 and ate very

little food during this time. About the time I started a teaching career, I

came down with various ailments such as asthma, chronic fatigue, chronic

sinusitis, nasal polyps, etc. After being kept on steroids for several years

by regular doctors, I decided there had to be a better way. I found a

regular doctor in Marion, Virginia that practiced alternative methods. He

put me on a strict diet of nothing but limited meats, fruits, vegetables and

water. Basically, what I was doing was a low glycemic diet, getting all of

the toxins and poisons out of my body. He also put me on an anti-yeast

regimen and put me on some good high powered vitamins and minerals. Within

two months every symptom I had left me, and I was completely well. Needless

to say it took me years to adjust to a strict diet, but now I do know how to

get well! Two years ago, I met a couple of women at a natural health food

store, that basically changed my life. They introduced me to a book called

" Death by Diet " by a bio-chemist called Robert Barefoot. The book explained

all the functions that calcium did in the body and that it could even

prevent and cure cancer! I started giving some of this information out to my

friends and relatives who were sick with various ailments, such as lupus,

fibromyalgia, MS, different types of cancer. I noticed that almost all on my

list were women! I wondered why? I had read an article in a women's magazine

that said that women were dying across America at twice the rate of men on

almost every disease, especially autoimmune diseases. I started taking

informed surveys across the region I lived in (southwest Virginia and

eastern Kentucky), to see if I could come up with some answers. I knew that

women were dieting all the time, this was obvious! I found they were not big

meat eaters and milk drinkers like men, losing major sources of protein and

calcium. The women at the health food store showed me a brochure about the

damaging effects of aspartame in diet products. I knew it was bad, but I had

no idea at the time just how bad!! I started calling everyone on my list to

ask if they drank diet soda. Every one of them did, except one or two. Could

there be a connection? It seemed too coincidental. I stepped up my surveys

to see just how prevalent the usage of diet sodas were in this area, and if

all the symptoms on this brochure could be true!! What I discovered was

astounding to say the least! A cold chill went over me. American was being

poisoned on a national level!! How could this be? How could something so

devastating be on the market? I discovered regular doctors were recommending

it, especially for diabetics. Every person I met that had diabetes, drank

diet soda. They trusted their doctor and thought they were doing a good

thing. Except all the ones I talked to, were so sick and their blood sugar

was out of control. They were losing their eyesight, and attributing it to

the diabetes. I began to suspect diet soda was causing the diabetes

epidemic. Heavy people that you would think would have diabetes, that didn't

drink diet pop, didn't have diabetes. Skinny people who should not have it,

were drinking diet sodas and had diabetes. I started going back to every

case in my hometown of people that had died prematurely, and subsequently

found they were all heavy diet pop drinkers. Even my own best friend, who

had died at age 47, seven years ago with diabetes complications. I was just

now connecting the dots. Every case of cancer, big diet soda drinkers. The

list goes on and on. (I wouldn't have believed it, if I had not been in the

trenches working with so many people.) I know it is not the factor in every

case of sickness. Smoking and high sugar consumption plays a part. But diet

soda consumption seem to be the major factor! I was seeing women

miscarrying, doing everything they thought was healthy, but drinking diet

sodas. I was seeing children that I taught that were slow learners, or

irreparably brain damaged where they could learn nothing, after some

investigation found that all the mothers had drunk diet soda when they were

pregnant. I think this makes the baby be born with a compromised immune

system, and the vaccinations are pushing them over the edge to autism,

asthma, diabetes, cancer and death!! This would explain why many children

escape the ill effects of the vaccines. Most women that I see that are very

sick, are smokers and soda drinkers. I believe I have added another disease

to the 90 list of symptoms: leukemia, (of course, most of these diseases are

aspartame poisoning, just misdiagnosed by regular doctors). I started

noticing that all the cases in my hometown where people had been diagnosed

with leukemia was connected to diet soda. Some were dead. Those that I could

reach with my information were getting well. When I hear of a celebrity or

world leader with a mysterious blood disorder, I automatically think: diet

soda!! (MARTINI: See news release on the recent new studies on aspartame

showing aspartame triggers leukemia, lymphoma and malignant brain tumors -

http://www.wnho.net/new_aspartame_studies.htm) Arafat was never really

diagnosed with anything for sure, but I suspect it was diet soda. Whenever I

see anyone with seizures, palsy, paralysis in the legs, this is what I

suspect. I started questioning people in buggies that couldn't walk at

various stores and guess what? All heavy diet pop users, almost without

exception. (IN my research on aspartame, I discovered it destroyed the

vitamin B complex, which controls the central nervous system). One

particular man in my hometown that I graduated with, was so gaunt looking,

palsied and almost near death, was on a feeding tube. It took me awhile, but

I discovered he lived on diet sodas for years. My suspicions were true! One

man, who had brain cancer, that I've been working with, is now beating the

cancer, but his short term memory is gone!! The only liquid he put in his

body was diet sodas for fifteen years!!! I am finding that women are

substituting milk, for diet soda. Certain patterns are emerging. They don't

eat a good breakfast, they don't eat many fruits and vegetables, they don't

drink milk, eat little meat, and are huge diet soda consumers. It is so

addictive. I've met women who told me, it would have to kill them before

they would give it up! It is their life!! I always tell them, it most

assuredly will do so. One man I met was drinking sixteen to eighteen a day!!

Needless to say, these people are all terribly sick. I am seeing some people

who have drink it for years, and seem to be in good health. They are meat

eaters, with the protein protecting them from the poison. A protein will

kick out sugars, toxins, lessening the damage to the cells. It keeps the

toxins from spiking the blood sugar. I read an article a few years ago,

about an adjoining county to mine, Harlan County, Ky. This area had the

highest amount of autoimmune diseases in the nation, and I found out

recently they had the highest rate of soda consumption, especially diet

soda. No one has made the connection until now. I met a nurse from this area

that said MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS WAS RAMPANT. I have been trying to canvas this

area and give out the brochures about the effects of aspartame poisoning. I

feel like this problem is greater in this area of Appalachia than other

parts of the nation, because of the poor diets of the people, and the high

amount of cigarette consumption. I have been to over 300 businesses,

schools, libraries, hospitals, etc. with the information on aspartame. The

message is getting out!! ....But knowing this information, I cannot stand

idly by, and let people suffer and die needlessly when I know the answer.

..------ All I know is that something drastic has to be done. I am doing my

part!! " One person can change a lot " has always been my motto. I am working

on my degree in nutrition and have written a book called the Alternative

Underground, with a special section on " What's Killing The Women? " I have

people that are helping me give out these brochures, so hopefully I won't

have to fight this problem alone. I am giving seminars in churches to spread

the message. I pray that this research will sound the alarm across the

nation to get this horrific poison off the market!! _____ Note from Martini:

Sharon Bevins is the new Mission Possible Pound Virginia. She did this

research on her own. She was unaware that aspartame can precipitate

diabetes, simulates and aggravates diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy,

causes diabetics to go into convulsions, and interacts with insulin. Some

reports say 65% of diabetics have Alzheimers. Memory loss is #9 on the FDA

list of 92 symptoms. See http://www.wnho.net/whopper.htm Dr. Betty Martini,
