are diet drinks killing you?

[Guest guest]

Just lately a lady came to me for advice.

 

And she is drinking 2 six-packs of diet pepsi a day!

 

She is complaining of stomach and intestinal problems.

 

I mentioned that it " Might be WISE to switch to water instead " .

 

She told me SHE LOVED THE TASTE OF IT SO MUCH that she couldn't quit.

 

We actually have some simple energy drills that will neutralize that 'abnormal

WANT', but she WANTS the diet pepsi instead.

 

So I did 'wish her luck', which is NOT good enough to help her heal.

 

It's so amazing that people want to feel better but will not do some real simple

things to help themselves.

 

Especially something as simple as just replacing diet coke/pepsi with water.

 

Here's an article I found that you might be interested in.

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, aggravating 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 in the hips and

thighs. Once off these products with 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 Dr. Russell Blayblock (Health Press

1-800-643-2665) and 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 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 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.
