Hi everyone,

 

I am forwarding this email I received. I realize we all probably

know this already but I thought it was well written and maybe some

people could use it to forward to those people who have no clue.

Hello everyone,

A dear friend of mine, who is a nurse in Ohio has sent me this

clipping. If

you are a diet coke or diet pepsi drinker you NEED to read this. She

doesn't

send garbage in the mail.

You may find this very worth while to read.........especially those

who drink

diet coke all the time............Also anyone that may be a diebetic.

Tue, 17 Jul 2001 09:12:38 -0700 I spent several days

lecturing at

the World Environment 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

peoples

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 with 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 case 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 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 sons 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 M.S.? " 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 M.S. This is beyond

coincidence.

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. 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 phenylanine are neurotoxic without the

other

amino acids found in protein. Thus it goes past the brain barrier

and

deteriorates the neurons of the brain.

Dr. Russell Blaylock, neurosurgeon, said, " The ingredients stimulate

the

neurons of the brain to death, causing brain damage of varying

degrees. "

Dr. Blaylock has written a book entitled, " EXVIROTOXINS: The Taste

That

Kills " (Health Press 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 " (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 American College of Physicians, doctors admitted

that

they did not know. They had wondered why seizures were rampant (the

phenylaline in Aspartame breaks down the seizures threshold and

depletes

Serotonin, which causes manic depression, panic attacks, range 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 you

to help too.

Print this article out and warn everyone you know. Take anything

that

contains Aspartame back to the store. 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 of Physicians.

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 cannot 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 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 Aspartame product and several thousand pallets of diet

drinks

were shipped to the Desert Storm troops. 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 said that consuming Aspartame at the time of conception

can

cause birth defects. The phenylanine concentrates in the placenta,

causing

mental retardation, according to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician

Professor -

genetics at Emory University in his testimony before Congress. In

the

original lab tests, animals developed brain tumors (phenylaline

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 FDA. For years, the FDA 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 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 in

neurological

and behavioral symptoms). The bill 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 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. You might want to

print it

out to hand out or fax it to people who are not online.
