In October of 2001, my sister ( not ours, someone elses, this is from an e-mail) started getting very sick. She had stomach spasmsand she was having a hard time getting around.? Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain.
By Mar 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on24 various prescription medications.? The doctors could not determine what waswrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick.she just knew she wasdying. She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc.,? in her oldestdaughter's name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken careof.She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida. (basically in a? wheelchair) for March 22.On March 19 I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she saidthey didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS. I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister ifshe drank diet soda? She told me that she did.? As a matter of? fact, she wasgetting ready to crack one open that moment.I told her not to open it, and to stopinking the diet soda!
I e-mailed her the article my friend, a lawyer, had sent. My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told meshe had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk!? The muscle spasmswent away. She said she didn't feel 100% but she sure felt a lot better. Shetold me she was going to her doctor with this article and would call me whenshe got home.Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all ofhis MS aints to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind.In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda...andliterally dying a slow and miserable death.When she got to Florida March 22, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a complete recovery. And she is walking! No wheelchair! This article saved her life. 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. It was
difficult to determine exactly 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 thissweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts toformaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic? acidosis.Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanoltoxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus.Many people were being diagnosed in error.? Although multiple sclerosis is nota death sentence, Methanol toxicity is! Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especiallywith Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.? The victim usually does not know thatthe Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use; irritating the lupusto such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition. We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken offdiet sodas.In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptomsdisappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned and hearing lossimproved markedly.This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia. 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 yourleg,camps, vertigo, dizziness,? headaches, tinnitus, joint pain,unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, ormemory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!' People were jumping up during the lecture saying, 'I have some of thesesymptoms. Is it reversible?' Yes! Yes! Yes! STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on foodlabels! Many products are fortified with it!? This is a serious problem. Dr. Espart (one of my speakers)? remarked that so mnypeple seem to besymptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice, a nurse statedthat six of her friends,? who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This isbeyond coincidence!Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM(salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you cravecarbohydrates.? It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight! These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat cells,particularly in the hips and thighs.? Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin and isused primarily to preserve 'tissue specimens.' Many products we use
every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body!
Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the 'dietproducts' and with no significant increase in exercise; hispatients lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period. Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics.
We found that some physicians, who believed that they had a patient withretinopathy, in fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame. The Aspartame drives the? blood sugar out of control. Thus diabetics may sufferacute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine areNEUROTOXIC when taken without the other amino acids? necessary for a goodbalance.Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE. Especially with diabetics, theAspartame passes the blood/brain barrier and it then deteriorates the neuronsof the brain; causing various levels of brain damage, seizures, depression,manic depression, panicattacks, uncontrollable anger and rage. Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as well. Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children diagnosed
with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their behavior when these?chemicals have been removed from their diet. So called 'behaviormodification prescription drugs' (Ritalin and others)? are no longerneeded. Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in the first place!? Most ofthese children were being 'poisoned' on a daily basis with the veryfoods that were 'better for them than sugar.' It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet Cokeand diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War a be partially to blame for the well-knownGulf War Syndrome.Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental retardation, iftaken at the time of conception and during early pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NEVER begiven artificial sweeteners.? There are many different case histories to relateof children suffering grand mal seizures and other neurological disturbancestalking about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the use ofthis deadly poison.'
Herein lies the problem:
There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included 100 differentproducts and strong objection was made concerning its use. Since this initialhearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, and still nothing has been
done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets.Sadly, MONSANTO'S patent on Aspartame has EXPIRED!
There are now over 5,000 products on the market thatntain this deadlychemical and there will be thousands more introduced.? Everybody wants a'piece of the Aspartame pie.' I assure you that MONSANTO, the creatorof Aspartame, knows how deadly it is.And isn't it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among others, the American Diabetes?? Association, the American DieteticAssociation and the Conference of the American Collegeof Physicians?This has been recently exposed in the New York Times.
These [organizations] cannot criticize any additives or convey? their link toMONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and are required to endorse their products.
Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote and presented a bill that would require labelwarnings on products containing Aspartame, especially regarding pregnant women, children and infants.? The bill would also institute independent studies on the known dangers and the problems existing in the general population regarding seizures, changes in brain chemistry, neurological
changes and behavioral symptoms. The bill was killed. It is known that the powerful drug and chemical lobbies are responsible forthis, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting anduninformed public. Well, you're Informed now! YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO? KNOW!
