Merck/ aspartame appears to be safe during pregancy (NO its not, it can kill the baby or the baby can be born with birth defects)

[Guest guest]

Aspartame is never safe. Further Merck knows that aspartame is

endocrine disrupting agent, an abortifacient and a teratogen causing

birth defects and mental

retardation.

http://www.mpwhi.com/louis_elsas_testifying_to_congress.htm Also,

Merck has been written several times so they even know their

setumbling can kill babies. Read about Merck and depopulation on the net.

 

Read on for Dr. Bowen's paper.

ASPARTAME TOXIC MECHANISMS -

 

ABORTIFACIENT

Abortion causation

 

TEROTOGEN

Birth defect production

 

ADJUVANT

Forms antigenic tissue, triggering immunologic attack, fetal wastage

 

CHELATION

Chelates metals, promotes heavy metal poisoning

 

 

SOME ASPARTAME TOXIC AGENTS -

 

Methyl alcohol

Phenylalanine [PHE]

Aspartic Acid

Diketopiperazine

Formaldehyde

Formic acid

 

 

Aspartame, APM, is sold as NutraSweet and Equal and is in thousands

of foods and diet drinks. At every point in the fertility process APM

destroys, beginning with the gleam in Mom and Pop,s eyes: it ruins

female sexual response and induces male sexual dysfunction. Beyond

this, aspartame disrupts fetal development by aborting it or inducing

defects. And if a live child is born aspartame may have heinously

damaged the DNA of the baby, cursing future generations.

 

APM,s abortifacient properties are inherent in its structure. As the

3-cornered molecule is metabo- lized it releases methyl alcohol, plus

phenylalanine and aspartic acid, both neurotoxins. The methyl alcohol

breaks down into formaldehyde, then formic acid. APM methyl

alcohol/formaldehyde poisoning, engenders a host of cumulative

degenerative diseases and functional abnormalities. Isolated

phenyalanine and aspartic acid are neurotoxic.

 

Formaldehyde is recognized as a potent adjuvant which causes foreign

proteins to be recognized as antigens by the immune system,

triggering immune responses to destroy them. Because of its adjuvancy

formaldehyde is included in many vaccines. A challenge the mother,s

body must overcome to carry a fetus is keeping the maternal immune

system from identifying the varied fetal tissues as foreign proteins

and destroying them. APM denatures fetal tissues creating an

antigenicity stimulus enticing destruction by the maternal immune

system. This termination of pregnancy can be so rapid that the mother

may not notice a delayed period or she may miscarry almost immediately.

 

The ability of methyl alcohol/formaldehyde to create antigenicity,

especially as combined in APM molecules is so great as to cause

severe autoimmune reactions to the tissues deformed by formaldehyde

polymerization, adduct formation. The immune system turns against the

victim,s tissues: Lupus.

 

Beyond the danger of attack from the maternal immune system, APM

directly damages the fetus. A good reference point is fetal alcohol

syndrome: lifelong deformity, disability and loss of mental acuity in

infants who survive maternal alcohol abuse. Even moderate use of

beverage alcohol by the mother abuses the fetus and its future.

Methyl alcohol is fifty times as potent an intoxicant as ethyl

alcohol [beverage alcohol]. Formaldehyde is 5,000 times more potent.

Assembled in the carefully crafted APM molecule these neurotoxins are

about 20,000 times more potent than beverage alcohol.

 

Because of APM,s extreme toxicity even minute doses are destructive,

damaging fetal nervous systems and related structures. Eyes and

hearing come to mind. All tissues are similarly damaged as beyond its

functional neurological intoxicating effects, methyl

alcohol/formaldehyde is the strongest organic base in the living

organism and is a polymerizing agent, turning tissue into plastic.

From such poisoning there is no escape, it is obligatory metabolism

by alcholdehydrogenase of methyl alcohol into nascent formaldehyde,

occurring 75% in the cytosol [cytoplasm] and 25% in the mitochondria.

 

A SHORT LESSON on PROTEIN FORMATION: Proteins are usually four long

chains [polypetides] of the 20 amino acids we get from food. Amino

acids are structures of 10 to 27 atoms. [hydrogen, oxygen, carbon,

nitrogen, one has an atom of sulfur] These 20 amino acids the are

letters of the biochemical alphabet which spell out proteins, some of

which contain thousands of amino acids. To support rapid growth the

fetus requires lots of amino acids which the placenta supplies in

400% concentration. Amino acids in fetal veins are four times that in

the mother,s blood. Natural foods are complex mixes of amino acids,

no food is merely one or two isolated amino acids, as is APM.

 

APM is 50% phenylalanine [PHE] which is a nutrient when accompanied

by other amino acids, however isolated PHE is toxic, especially for

the fetus or infant. Dr. Louis Elsas, Professor of Pediatrics

[Genetics] at Emory University, testified to Congress: " I have spent

25 years in biomedical sciences trying to prevent birth defects

caused by excess phenylalanine. And therein lies my basic concern,

that aspartame is in fact a well known neurotoxin and teratogen

which, in some as yet undefined dose, will both reversibly in the

adult and irreversibly in the developing child or fetal brain,

produce adverse effects. Senate Hearing 11/3/87 Labor & Human

Resources Committee

 

The 400% placenta-supplied concentration of isolated phenylalanine

from APM causes mental retardation! The PHE in a plate of beans is

absorbed in about 20 hours in competition with the other amino acids.

The PHE in a Diet Coke is absorbed in a few minutes in competition

with nothing. This is highly significant because amino acid

biochemistry at enzyme sites is competitive and PHE out-competes all

the others, which means isolated PHE from APM, in the fetal brain

with no competition, destroys it!

 

I have a cerebral palsied grandchild because my daughter-in-law

refused to listen and drank NutraSweet pop during her pregnancy. A

nurse who headed a visiting nurses association in Nebraska has two

cerebral palsied grandchildren from NutraSweet. Their mother said " Oh

Mom, its that safe natural NutraSweet. Only when she delivered her

second palsied child did she admit her life was devastated from

trusting the FDA, the media, and the APM advertising by " ethical

food, beverage and drug industries.

 

Another nurse, a close personal friend in Walla Walla, Washington,

had a grandchild so cerebrally palsied by aspartame it will never

lift its head from a pillow but merely stare blankly into space for

its whole life. Their church eschews using large amounts of sugar, so

the father came home and announced " No more sugar in this household!

We,re going to use that safe natural NutraSweet from now on.

 

Heel-stick blood sampling is routine on newborns to screen for

Phenylketonuria to identify infants with PKU so to protect them from

the severe brain damage they can sustain from even a single meal of

foods high in phenylalanine. Think of the damage to PKU infants by

maternal APM consumption. Consider the shroud of tragedy that

overcame the lives of these hopeful parents, then multiply their

number by hundreds, by thousands, and find a better word than MURDER!

 

APM is 40% aspartic acid. This amino acid, when isolated, is

excitotoxic, it excites neurons or brain cells, to death. Like

formaldehyde, APM is a chromosomal damaging agent. The neurological

dangers to the developing fetus are obvious. The chromosomal damage

in the mother may be inherited by the fetus and since a female fetus

contains at birth all the ova she,ll ever have, future generations

are forever endangered by inherited chromosomal damage as well the

damage to her developing ovaries from the aspartame her mother

consumes during pregnancy.

 

So-called " health supplements made of isolated phenylalanine,

aspartic acid, glutamic acid [glutamates as in MSG] and other

dicarboxylic amino acid neuroexcitotoxins such as picinolates are

marketed either as acts of blind ignorance or deliberate malice. They

do the exact opposite of what they,re sold for, i.e. isolated

phenylalanine can cause nerve transmitter disruption, brain

malnutrition and neurotoxicity leading to impaired mental

functioning, depression, headaches, and other reactions.

 

BRAIN TUMORS: As it breaks down APM creates diketopiperazine and with

the intact APM molecule you have the two greatest brain tumor

carcinogens discovered by science thus far responsible for the

massive brain tumor epidemic we now witness. The methylated aspartyl

radicals such as the N-methylD aspartyl radical, et al, are

recognized as causative of about every known neuro-degenerative

disease. To independently research these issues look up " The

Proceedings of the First International Symposium on Phenylalanine

Metabolism by Dr Richard Wurtman, head of Neuroendochronology at MIT.

He has since for his own reasons become a defender of APM, but the

record created by the world,s best minds on phenylalanine pathologies

are in that document. Read Dr. Hyman Roberts, excellent books

documenting APM causation of schizophrenia by its action in the mid

brain and cerebral cortex. Websites: www.dorway.com

CHELATION: [Chelate, from the Latin word for Claw, a chemical which

seizes and holds other chemicals, often metals] Aspartame was kept

off the market by the once intact FDA. A compelling reason the FDA

rejected APM is its potent chelating activity, which rapidly picks up

toxic metals and carries into the body even metals the body would

normally refuse to absorb through digestion. The extreme lead

poisoning danger to a child,s developing brain and organs is well

known. Many metals NutraSweet carries into us are as damaging as

equal concentrations of lead. The strongest evidence is what APM does

to people. Consider this 3/23/00 report from B. Lynn. FDA will call

this deplorable tragedy an " anecdote.

 

" My [then] 5 year old daughter was getting migrane headaches and

vomiting. My sister-in-law, an RN, told me to get her off the diet

soda. I have only seen two such headaches in the last thee and a half

years, no vomiting. My mother, an avid drinker of Diet Coke suffered

a stroke at 53. My aunt at 57 suffered a stroke. My nephew at four

months was Dx with Infantile Spasms. My friend, after months of tests

and pain was Dx with Fibromyalgia, drinks 5-6 Diet sodas a day.

 

In 1995 I suffered a miscarriage. 3 months later I conceived my son. He

was born with VACTERL Association. He had every anomaly in the association:

V Vertebra, he had a tethered spinal cord

A Anal Artesia [ no anal opening]

C Cardiac, open heart surgery at 5 months

TE Trachea Esophegeal Artesia. Esophagus attached to his Trachea

R Renal/Radial defects. He has a hypo plastic thumb and a horseshoe

kidney

L Limb defects One arm shorter, skeletal anomalies still being

discovered

They could never explain why my perfect pregnancy produced such a

child. I sent this to some friends that belong to support group for

children with anorectal malformations. The response will be emotional

to say the least. We,ve all searched for an answer to what caused

these horrible defects in our children. A better word than murder?

GENOCIDE! There,s a Federal Law against Genocide: Criminal Code,

Title 18 Chapter 50A, Sec 1091-3 It has no statute of limitations, &

provides: Whoever , whether in time of peace or time of war, with

specific intent to destroy, in whole or in substantial part, a

national, ethnic, racial or religious group as such--

 

(1) Kills members of that group

(2) Causes serious bodily injury to members of that group

(3) Causes the permanent impairment of the mental faculties of members

of the group through drugs, torture or similar techniques

(4) Subjects the group to conditions of life that are intended to cause

the physical destruction of the group in whole or in part

(5) Imposes measures intended to prevent births within the groups

Shall be punished as provided in subsection B

[ B says if death results: Death or life imprisonment & a fine of not more

than $1,000,000]

 

All five rules have been smashed by the aspartame/NutraSweet

industry. We, the population of the United States are the Group. The

sellers of APM poisoned foods and drinks knew in advance the havoc it

would wreck on our nation,s health. That knowledge establishes

intention. Test SC18862, submitted for APM approval involved feeding

aspartame to 7 infant monkeys. One died; 5 had grand mal seizures, an

86% casualty rate, nevertheless FDA approved the poison so is equally

culpable with the manufacturers. 75% of all complaints on food

additives are on APM which FDA tallied into a list of 10,000 consumer

complaints of 92 symptoms, including death, but you can,t get the

list without a Congressman.

 

Note #3, mental impairment: APM depletes serotonin from which victims

suffer manic depression, hallucinations, paranoia, rage, suicidal

tendencies, anxiety and panic. Surgeon General Satcher said 22% of

the population now suffer mental problems. APM is involved! I,ve

shown how rule #5 is fulfilled by destruction of our unborn and

living children. This law makes all producers and marketers of

aspartame criminals. What will the justice department and the courts

do to protect us?
