Aspartame components in Tegretol,Depakote,Dilantin-causes

seizures!!

 

 

 

H. J. Roberts, MD, has, for many years, expressed concerns about the use of

aspartame. In his most recent book, " Aspartame Disease - An Ignored

Epidemic, " he has a section beginning on page 364 of the book, entitled

" Broader Immunologic Perspectives. " In this section, he states, in part,

" Subsequent re-immunizations ... serve as chronic stimulants to the immune

system. "

 

Dr. Robert's book includes some references regarding immune responses. He

states, in part, " The extent to which A HYPERSENSITIVE POPULATION has

evolved

is pertinent and disturbing. An increasing array of potentially antigenic

substances can enhance the immune response, including many widely used drugs

and their metabolites (Eisner 1972). "

 

It is my position that anything that is true for aspartame will also apply

to

processed free glutamic acid (MSG).

 

In regard to tegretol, depakote and dilantin, I submit the following:

 

1. Tegretol contains flavoring (chewable form only), gelatin, and

starch (two forms in the chewable form). All of these ingredients will

include processed free glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and phenylalanine. As

you know, aspartame is made up of aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and a methyl

esther. There is no aspartame as such in tegretol.

 

2. Depakote comes in several different forms. The sprinkle capsules

contain gelatin and trimethyl citrate. The tablet form contains starch.

Gelatin, citrate and starch will include processed free glutamic acid,

aspartic acid, and phenylalanine. There is no aspartame as such in Depakote.

Realizing that you have concern about iron, I must also note that the

tablets

include iron.

 

3. Dialantin comes in several different forms. The capsules contain

starch (corn) and gelatin. The Infatab contains starch (wheat) and spearmint

flavor. The two forms of suspensions contain citric acid and a banana

flavoring. The gelatin, starch, and citric acid contains processed free

glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and phenylalanine. The spearmint and banana

flavoring may contain these free amino acids. If I were to guess, I would

think that the spearmint flavoring is truly natural and is safe, but I would

think that the banana flavoring is not truly natural, and is, therefore, not

safe. There is no aspartame as such in Dilantin.

 

As you know, over the years, I have communicated with parents of children

with seizures who have been told by physicians that there is no physical

reason for the seizures. In all of these cases, elimination of MSG from

their children's diets eliminated the seizures. Some parents have indicated

to me that their child's seizures did not totally stop until they eliminated

the drugs that were being used.

 

While looking for information to respond to your question, I came across the

following site which is from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Note what

they say about aspartame and other additives used in pharmaceuticals.
