FDA in Collusion with Monsanto(Aspartame)

[Guest guest]

Extract from: The WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE and the MULTIPLE

SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION:

 

FDA in COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO

 

Article written by Nancy Markle (1120197)

 

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 that I was there to

lecture on exactly that subject.

When the temperature of Aspartame 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 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 in 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 asymptomatic. Unfortunately, we can not 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 by 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

addicts, had all been

diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence.

 

Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings in

which aspartame was included in 100 different products. Since this

initial hearing, there

have been two subsequent hearings, but to no avail. Nothing as 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 to 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, 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 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 Diabetes Association,

American Dietetic

Association, Congress, and the Conference of the American College

ofPhysicians. The New York Times, on November 15, 1996, ran an

article on how the American Dietetic Association takes money from

the food industry to endorse their products. Therefore, they can not

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 an aspartame product. Several thousand

pallets of diet drinks were shipped to the Dessert 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 service men 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 " . The phenylalanine concentrates

in the placenta, causing mental retardation, according to Dr. Louis

Elsas, Pediatrician Professor - Genetics, at Emery University in his

testimony before Congress.

 

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 " .

 

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 F.D.A. For years, the F.D.A. has outlawed

this sweet food because of their loyalty to MONSANTO.

 

If it says " SUGAR FREE " on the label-- DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT

IT!!!!! 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 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 some

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.
