Aspartame...bad....
<<< Back to main page
Read this one right through to the end, rather frightful.
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,
irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become life-threatening.
We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic 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 tinnitus.
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 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
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 neurotoxic 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 Neuroscientist Dr. Russell
Blayblock (Health Press 1-800-643-2665)
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 Metzenbaum 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.
