> 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, they announced that there was an

> epidemic of multiple sclerosis and 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. 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.

> In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost as

> rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi

> drinkers. Also, with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three

> to four 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 asymptotic. 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.

> 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 even were

>

> suffering from 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.

>

> Even 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! The Congressional record

> said, " It makes you crave Carbohydrates and 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

> 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 is due the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine

> are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found protein. Thus it goes

>

> past the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the brain.

> Dr. Russell Blaylock, neurosurgeon, said, " The ingredients stimulates

> 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
