"I have spent several days lecturing at the World Environmental
Conference on "Aspartame: Marketed as 'NutraSweet', 'Equal' & 'Spoonful'.
In the keynote address they announced that there was an epidemic
of Multiple Sclerosis, Systemic Lupus, and they did not understand
what toxin was causing this to be rampant across the United States.
I explained I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.
Multiple Sclerosis like symptoms
When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood
alcohol in Aspartame coverts 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 Multiple Sclerosis; thus, people were being diagnosed
with having Multiple Sclerosis in error. The Multiple Sclerosis
is not a death sentence, where Methanol toxicity is.
Lupus
In the case of Systemic Lupus (a problem with the immune system
which causes the body to fight itself), we are finding it has
become almost as rampant as Multiple Sclerosis especially in
Diet Coke &Diet Pepsi drinkers. Also, with Methanol toxicity,
the victims usually drink 3 to 4 12-oz. cans of them per day,
some even more. In the cases of Systemic Lupus, which is triggered
by Aspartame, the victim usually does not know that the Aspartame
is the culprit.
The victim continues its use aggravating the Lupus to such a
degree, that sometimes it becomes life threatening. When we get
people off the Aspartame, those with Systemic Lupus usually become
asymptomatic. Unfortunately, we cannot reverse this disease. On
the other hand, in the case of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis
(when in reality, the disease is Methanol toxicity), most of the
symptoms disappear. We have seen cases where their vision has returned
and even their hearing has returned. This also applies to cases
of Tinnitus.
Aspartame Disease
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, Tinnitus, 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 this!
Is it reversible?" It is rampant. Some of the speakers at my lecture
were suffering from many of these symptoms. In one lecture attended
by the Ambassador of Uganda, he told us that their Sugar industry
is adding Aspartame! He continued by saying that one of the industry
leader's son could no longer walk due in part to product usage!
We have a very serious problem.
A stranger came up to Dr. Espisto, (one of my speakers) and myself
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 drinkers, had all been
diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence.
Here is the problem
There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was originally
included as a sweetener 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!!
At the time of this first hearing, people were going blind. The
Methanol in the Aspartame converts to Formaldehyde in the retina
of the eye. Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of drugs
as Cyanide and Arsenic - DEADLY POISONS!!! Unfortunately, it just
takes longer to quietly kill, but it is killing people and causing
all kinds of neurological problems.
Aspartame changes the brain's chemistry. It is the reason for
severe seizures. This drug changes the Dopamine level in the brain.
Imagine what this drug does to patients suffering from Parkinson's
Disease. This drug also causes birth defects. There is absolutely
no reason to take this product.
It is not a diet product
It is NOT A DIET PRODUCT!! The Congressional record said, "It makes
you crave Carbohydrates &will make you FAT." Dr. Roberts stated
that when he got patients off aspartame, their average weight loss
was 19 pounds per person. The Formaldehyde stores in the fat cells,
particularly in the hips and thighs. Aspartame is especially deadly
for Diabetics.
All physicians know what Wood Alcohol will do to a Diabetic.
We find that physicians believe that they have patients with Retinopathy,
when in fact, it is caused by the Aspartame. The Aspartame keeps
the blood sugar level out of control, causing many patients to
go into a coma. Unfortunately, many have died. People were telling
us at the conference of the American College of Physicians that
they had relatives that had switched from Saccharin to an Aspartame
product and how that relative had eventually gone into a coma.
Their physicians could not get the blood sugar levels under control;
thus the patients suffered acute memory loss and eventually coma
and death.
Memory loss
Memory loss is due the fact that Aspartic Acid and Phenylalanine
are Neurotoxic without the other Amino Acids found in protein,
thus it goes past the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the
neurons of the brain. Dr. Russell Blaylock, a prominent neurosurgeon
of Jackson, Mississippi, said, "The ingredients stimulate the
neurons of the brain to death, causing brain damage of varying
degrees." Dr. Blaylock has written a book entitled EXCITOTOXINS:
The Taste That Kills , (Health Press 1-800-643-2665).
Dr. H. J. Roberts, diabetic specialist and world expert on Aspartame
poisoning, has also written a book entitled Defense Against Alzheimer's
Disease (1-800-814-9800).
Dr. Roberts tells how Aspartame poisoning is escalating Alzheimer's
Disease, and indeed it is. As the hospice nurse told me, women
are being admitted at 30 years of age with Alzheimer's Disease.
Dr. Blaylock and Dr. Roberts will be writing a position paper with
some case histories and will post it 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." Dr. Roberts realized what was happening when Aspartame
was first marketed. He said, "His Diabetic patients presented memory
loss, confusion, and severe vision loss." At the Conference of
the American College of Physicians, doctors admitted that they
did not know. They had wondered why seizures were rampant (the
Phenylalanine in Aspartame breaks down the seizure threshold and
depletes Serotonin, which causes Manic Depression, Panic Attacks,
Rage and Violence).
Just before the Conference, I received a fax from Norway asking
for a possible antidote for this poison because they are experiencing
so many problems in their country. This "poison" is now available
in 90 PLUS countries worldwide. Fortunately, we had speakers and
ambassadors at the conference from different nations who have pledged
their help. We ask that you help too. Print this article out and
warn everyone you know. Take anything that contains Aspartame back
to the store. Take the "NO ASPARTAME TEST" and send us your case
history.
I assure you that MONSANTO the creator of Aspartame, knows how
deadly it is. They fund the American Medical Association, American
Dietetic Association, Congress, and the Conference of the American
College of Physicians. The New York Times, November 15, 1996, ran
an article on how the American Dietetic Association takes money
from the food industry to endorse their products. Therefore, they
cannot criticize any additives or tell about their link to MONSANTO.
How bad is this?
We told a mother who had a child on NutraSweet to get off the product.
The child was having Grand Mal seizures every day. The mother
called her physician, who called the ADA, who told the doctor
not to take the child off the NutraSweet. We are still trying
to convince the mother that the Aspartame is causing the seizures.
Every time we get someone off of Aspartame, the seizures stop.
If the baby dies, you know whose fault it is, and what we are
up against.
There are 92 documented symptoms of Aspartame, from coma to death.
The majority of them are all neurological, because the Aspartame
destroys the nervous system. Aspartame Disease is partially the
cause to what is behind some of the mystery of the Desert Storm
health problems. The burning tongue and other problems discussed
in over 60 cases can be directly related to the consumption of
Aspartame product. Several thousand pallets of diet drinks were
shipped to the Desert Storm troops. (Remember heat can liberate
the Methanol from the Aspartame at 86 degrees F). Diet drinks sat
in the 120 degree F Arabian sun for weeks at a time on pallets.
The servicemen and women drank them all day long All of their
symptoms are identical to Aspartame poisoning. Dr. Roberts says "Consuming
aspartame at the time of conception can cause birth defects. "According
to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician and Professor of Genetics, at
Emory University, in his testimony before Congress, "The Phenylalanine
concentrates in the placenta causing mental retardation. In the
original lab tests, animals developed brain tumors, phenylalanine
breaks down into DXP (a brain tumor agent.) When Dr. Espisto was
lecturing on Aspartame, one physician in the audience, a neurosurgeon,
said, "When they remove brain tumors, they have found high levels
of Aspartame in them."
Although Stevia, a sweet food, NOT AN 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.
If it says "SUGAR FREE" on the label - DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT
IT. 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 in 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.
Since the Conference of the American College of Physicians, we
hope to have the help of several world leaders. Again, please help
us, too. There are a lot of people out there who must be warned,
please let them know this information.
