Causes of Parkinson's: Aspartame changes the dopamine level of the brain

[Guest guest]

This is a very interesting article. Note it states " Any drug,

chemical or other toxic agent that adversely affects dopamine is

likely to cause Parkinson's. " Aspartame, the genetically engineered,

addictive excitoneurotoxic carcinogenic drug, changes the dopamine

level in the brain. This is discussed in Excitotoxins: The Taste

That Kills by neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D.,

www.russellblaylockmd.com, and in Defense Against Alzheimers Disease

by H. J. Roberts, M.D., www.sunsentpress.com The discussion on

changing the dopamine level of the brain is also in Dr. H. J. Roberts

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

 

A classic example is Michael Fox, a former Diet Pepsi spokesman who

became addicted. When diagnosed he said, " How could I get an old

man's disease at the age of 30?). Indeed, aspartame knows no

age. It interacts with L-dopa and other Parkinson drugs.

 

Here is the press release on Michael Fox from years ago. We know he

received it because his attorneys wanted Michael's picture off

www.aspartamekills.com where it still remains.

 

Michael Fox, Parkinson's, And Aspartame

Michael Fox, Star of Spin City, Family Ties and many movies, suffers

from Parkinson's Disease and once asked how a 30 year old man would

get this old man's disease. Michael Fox has also been a Diet Pepsi

spokesman and informants say he is addicted drinking many a day.

Aspartame/NutraSweet that is in Diet Pepsi is a neurotoxin that

triggers neurodegenerative diseases, and can precipitate Parkinson's.

Fox has been going downhill because of the wild movements and

writhing he's been suffering. He is unable to control his body.

Aspartame, in reality a drug, also interacts with other drugs and

changes the dopamine of the brain. There is no way for Michael to

improve until someone gets him off the Diet Pepsi.

 

Dr. James Bowen says: " Many NutraSweet victims report parkinsonism

symptoms. This should be no surprise because every biochemical

component of the aspartame molecule is implicated in producing

Parkinsonism structural damage and creating a biochemical basis for

parkinsonism symptoms. Aspartame is a source of methanol alcohol.

Experts in neurodegenerative disease from alcoholism recognize that

methyl alcohol is the component of beverage alcohol that causes

neurodegenerative disease in Parkinson's Disease in Parkinson's

Disease in alcoholics. Beverage alcohol is grain alcohol or ethyl

alcohol. However, methyl alcohol is also present in very small

amounts, although present only in trace amounts in alcoholic

beverages. It is the factor that produces the neurodegeneration.

Methyl alcohol accomplishes this even though the ethyl alcohol serves

as a protective factor. Aspartame on the other hand affords no such

protection and the structural components of the molecule are so

arranged that the methyl alcohol from aspartame is probably 500 to

5000 times more active in producing toxicity than it would be alone.

 

The structural damage in the basal areas of the brain where Parkinson

Disease structural damage occurs from the dicarboxylic amino acid

neuroexcitotoxins is a problem long recognized. So aspartic acid even

in and by itself is a recognized source of the damage to the basal

ganglia where Parkinson's Disease degeneration occurs. As in the case

with methyl alcohol the molecular structure of the aspartame molecule

probably makes the aspartic acid damage from aspartame 5000 times

more potent than from free aspartic acid on a mg. per mg. basis. The

brain with loss of neural tissue to produce the dopamine, a

neurotransmitter necessary to let the brain circuitry function

normally is no longer producing dopamine in sufficient amounts in

these structures. The metabolic impact of the phenylalanine isolate

from aspartame is to remarkably decrease dopamine production thus

making Parkinson symptoms much worse.

 

The phenylalanine isolate out competes all other amino acids at

enzyme sites in the brain. This includes the decarboxylase enzyme

sites. Therefore, the amino acid tyrosine is not decarboxylated to

tramine which is the first step in producing dopamine in the brain.

Therefore, the brain dopamine levels plummet remarkably.

 

Michael Fox has reportedly used L-Dopa to try and increase his

dopamine levels. The use of aspartame completely defeats this

therapeutic endeavor. Not to mention the fact that it caused the

degenerative disease called Parkinson's Disease in the first place.

The destructive process will continue as long as he uses it. " James

Bowen, M.D. _____

 

Somebody please get this message to Michael Fox. I'm waiting for

your call. 770 242-2599!

As far as I know Michael Fox continues to use Diet Pepsi. Read on for

Re: Parkinson's, cooking spoons

 

It has been well documented for decades in the BNF and numerous

medical textbooks and papers that exposure to phenothiazine drugs,

also sold as herbicides, are known causes of Parkinson's. Any drug,

chemical or other toxic agent that adversely affects dopamine is

likely to cause Parkinson's. Dopamine is prescribed to those with

Parkinson's to try to slow down the progress of the disease.

" What Doctors Don't Tell You " journal. June 09, vol 20 no.3.

" PARKINSON'S ARE PESTICIDES TO BLAME? " (2-page A4 article)

 

If you live near a farm you could be 4 x more likely to suffer from

Parkinson's Disease (PD). Researchers from the UCLA School of

Public Health discovered that people living within 500 metres of land

sprayed with pesticides had a 75% increased risk of developing the

disease in later life. Those exposed as a child or young adult had

an even greater risk. Exposure to either or both Maneb & Paraquat

agricultural pesticides was strongly related to Parkinson's. (Am J

Epidemiol, 2009; 169: 919-26.)

 

Pesticides that we use in our homes & gardens may also dramatically

increase the chance of the disease. The use of protective gear

during pesticide application had no effect on the results (BMC

Neurol, 2008; 8: 6). This supports previous research.

 

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have also been linked to PD. Female

workers exposed to PCBs were 2 to 3 x more likely to die with PD

compared with the general population. (Epidemiology,2006;

17:8-13) Lead, mercury & aluminium have also been linked to Parkinson's.

 

This suggests Parkinson's is not simply a disease of age. As is the

case with more & more conditions, it is likely that PD & other

diseases could be largely prevented by cleaning up our surroundings &

living as non-toxically as we can. By Joanna Evans.

D. Mail 30.5.09 " M & S KITCHEN GOODS CANCER ALERT "

Marks & Spencer has recalled 200,000 kitchen utensils after tests

showed some contain traces of the chemical Diaminodiphenylmethane in

the black nylon used to make them. This is linked to cancer & EU law

says this should not be found in plastics used for food

utensils. The items include a black nylon spoon, ladle, turner & a

masher, made in China. M & S ask customers to return them & get a

refund. A similar chemical has been found in high levels in other

Chinese-made nylon kitchen utensils sold elsewhere.
