Aspartame and Rheumatoid Arthritis

[Guest guest]

Dear Margaret:

 

Interestingly, I received your post yesterday just before a visit

from a friend. She said, " Betty, have you ever heard of anyone with

rheumatoid arthritis where its so severe and life-threatening the

lungs are affected? A friend takes so many steroids and drugs and it

just gets worse. Nobody knows what to do. "

 

I replied, " Sure, if the person is using aspartame. " She said, " But

he doesn't drink Diet Coke " . I continued to question her and

explained that aspartame is in 10, 000 products today at least and

may even be in his drugs. Finally she said, " The only thing he

drinks all day is Crystal Lite " . Bingo! I also told her there is

the case in Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World, the aspartame

documentary, www.soundandfury.tv where Cheryl Kemptner was admitted

to the hospital where she told officials she could not be given

aspartame and even had a " no aspartame " bracelet. " They promised her

she would not get it. She was given lemonade and sure enough it was

Crystal Lite. She became a Code Blue and nearly lost her life.

 

Aspartame is so poisonous that it causes chemical

hypersensitization. So when you get off of it and get well, and then

accidently get it by accident you can have an immediate severe

reaction. You found that out as you mention below having used it

again and having an immediate reaction. That's why we are trying so

hard to get it banned. For the rest of your life you must never

again used processed foods, especially anything that says artificial

or natural flavors. Like Dr. Roberts says, author of the medical

text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, www.sunsentpress.com

" When in doubt throw it out " . There is a chapter on aspartame and

joint pain and here is one of his reports on the

subject: http://www.dorway.com/betty/jointpan.txt Some Rx for

joint pain even contains aspartame. A pharmacist handed me a packet

of glucosamine and chondroitin that had it in it. Today you must

become a label reader if you want to live.

 

I did give your post to my friend, Jane, hoping it will serve as

encouragement for her friend to get off of aspartame products to stop

the suffering and anguish, as well as a copy of the Artificially

Sweetened Times, a 24 page booklet we give out on aspartame. You can

get 100 or more from the Idaho-Observer at

www.idaho-observer.com They are much better than flyers because they

have more information and are kept current.

 

I'm going to send you in another email a copy of the detox formula by

Dr. Blaylock as well other resources, books and information. There

is a safe sweetener called Just Like Sugar which is in most Whole

Foods or you can get it on line. It's just chicory and orange peel,

Vitamin C and Calcium. As a nurse you really need all the

resources. For instance, in the medical text you will find out that

aspartame interacts with virtually all drugs. It damages the

mitochondria. Dr. Roberts has a chapter on it and gives the reasons

it interacts and mentions some medications in particular that react

like Dilantin, Coumadin, etc.

 

Some of the most damning studies are the Ramazzini Studies showing

aspartame to be a multipotential carcinogen and the Trocho Study

which shows the formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol

embalms living tissue and damages DNA. Reminds me that my husband

and I was talking to a man about aspartame, and I gave him the

Artificially Sweetened Times and several different

articles. Everytime I gave him something he said, " I know about this

already " . Finally he says " I know a lot more about aspartame than

you do. " So I asked him how he knew so much. When you think of

aspartame the government agency you think of is FDA. However, he

said he worked for EPA, and he's a pathologist. He told them: " How

can it be on the market killing so many people. " He was told, " FDA

will surely have to take it off the market soon. " Then he advised me

how many years ago that was with nothing being done.

I've been meaning to call him and ask him what all his duties

were. He must have worked on the bodies of aspartame victims.

 

Since you are a nurse I would suggest you go to www.mpwhi.com, scroll

down to banners and to the Aspartame Information List, so

you can continue to get information and save patients.

 

All my best,

Betty
