More on Michael Jackson's death - and even another death in Diet Coke user

[Guest guest]

Here is a new article that came out on Michael Jackson

today:

This is an addendum to information I wrote recently on celebrities

deaths in those who used aspartame:

http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_celebritoxicity.htm

 

It is of interest that in most cases its ends up being polypharmacy

like in the case of Heath Ledger, a Diet Coke

user: http://www.mpwhi.com/heath_ledger.htm This was confirmed on autopsy.

 

In the case of Michael Jackson it looks he has been taking drugs for

years for pain. He had performance injuries and he had

lupus, commonly triggered by aspartame as Dr. James Bowen explains

in the original article I wrote, and how it does it. Then if you

continue aspartame it makes it worse. Here is an excellent article

by Dr.Russell Blaylock that tells us, and also about some of the

interactions with aspartame.

 

 

 

 

 

<http://dorway.com/dorwblog/?page_id=982>Neurotoxic Interaction of

MSG, Aspartame & Other Toxins

 

By Russell L. Blaylock, M.D. (21 Sept. 1999)

 

The toxicity of monosodium glutamate, aspartate and other excitatory

amino acids towards neurons has been well demonstrated in a multitude of

species including mice, rats, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, chickens, non-

human primates and humans. Humans have the unenviable position of being

the most sensitive species to oral MSG, being 5X more sensitive than the

next most sensitive animal, the mouse, and 20X more sensitive than the

Rhesus monkey. This is primarily based on more rapid and complete

absorption in humans.

 

Aspartate, another acidic amino acid, is also considered an excitotoxin.

When ingested, aspartate is converted in the liver into glutamic acid,

the toxic component of monosodium glutamate. Aspartate makes up 40% of

the molecular structure of the aspartame molecule. When aspartame is

absorbed it is broken down into its component parts, phenylalanine (

50%), aspartate ( 40%) and methanol (10%). Phenylalanine, a natural

amino acid, in high doses, can produce neurotoxicity, especially in the

immature nervous system, as is seen with the developing baby and

newborns. Elevated phenylalanine levels have been associated with mental

retardation, seizures and toxic injury to selected neurons in the brain.

At least one study has shown that 14% of normal people and 35% of PKU

hereozygotes will develop blood levels considered unsafe for pregnant

women and their babies following ingestion of aspartame products in

doses considered not uncommon in the heavy user of diet drinks.

 

Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, is used to bind the phenylalanine

molecule to the aspartate molecule in aspartame. When freed of its

bonded state, methanol quickly circulates throughout the body,

accumulating especially in the liver and the nervous system. Recent

studies, utilizing radiolabeled aspartame, have demonstrated that its

methanol has an affinity for cellular DNA and that it tends to

accumulate with each dose. This means that each time you consume a diet

cola or aspartame sweetened foods, the methanol accumulates near the

DNA, resulting in damage to the DNA in the form of deletions and

breakage of genes.

 

The aspartame defenders have attempted to ally fears by consumers and

scientist alike by implying that fruits and some vegetables contain

methanol doses that are even higher than is found in aspartame. The

problem with this defense is that it is based on a deception that is

well known to those who utilize it. Methanol in plants is always

accompanied by ethanol, usually in much higher concentrations. The

alcohol ethanol ( grain alcohol), is used medically as a treatment of

wood alcohol ( methanol) poisoning. When you eat, say a peach, the

ethanol in the peach neutralizes the methanol very quickly, so no harm

is done. But,the methanol in aspartame is not accompanied by ethanol. It

is a pure toxin.

 

Within the body, methanol is broken down into formaldehyde and formic

acid. Formaldehyde was used in the past as an embalming fluid and

preservative for laboratory specimens. It is no longer used because it

has been shown to be a powerful carcinogen. It preserves tissues from

rotting by coagulating the protein of the specimen as well as the

protein of the decay -inducing organisms. Intracellularly, formaldehyde

also damages various cellular proteins, including enzymes, microtubules

and other functional proteins. It appears, that even in small

concentrations, it can weaken cells and impair DNA function, increasing

the likelihood of oncogene activation (carcinogenesis) and other

mutagenic effects. The aspartame molecule itself, when in the stomach,

has been shown to undergo nitrosation, which then creates a

significantly powerful mutagen. This has the potential of inducing

carcinoma within the bowel itself.

 

The excitotoxins are known to trigger the formation of enormous storms

of free radicals, leading to prolonged lipid peroxidation ( oxidation of

cell membranes and membranes within the cell.). A recent study found

that newborns exposed to MSG from day 1-10 still had a free radical

elevation of 56% eighty days later. Such chronic free radical generation

is known to produce secondary lipid peroxidation products such as 4-

hydroxynonenal. This toxic substance is found in increased

concentrations in Alzheimer's brains, ALS and Parkinson's disease

brains. This secondary toxin has been shown to inhibit the glutamate

transporter protein, resulting in chronic, high elevations of glutamate

in the brain, which is thought to result in widespread neuron

destruction and increased free radical generation.

 

Both of these effects, free radical generation and DNA damage, would

make the use of food excitotoxins and aspartame hazardous in diseases

associated with DNA injury and lipid peroxidation, which would include a

large number of diseases such as LUPUS, cancer, brain injury, strokes,

chronic hepatitis, mitochondrial disorders, nervous system infections,

neurodegenerative diseases ( Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS),

rheumatoid arthritis, and asthma.

 

Studies by Stegink and co-workers have shown that when aspartame is

combined with MSG, blood glutamate levels are increased above that seen

with MSG alone. Now, in a normal situation, people frequently combine

these two neurotoxic substances. Flavor enhancing excitotoxins, such as

MSG, are ubiquitous in processed foods, appearing in many disguised

names, such as hydrolyzed vegetable protein, sodium or calcium

caseinate, autolyzed yeast, protein extract, textured protein, soy

protein extract, spices and natural flavoring. Often, these glutamate

excitotoxins are added to processed foods in combination. For example,

soups often contain three and even four of these excitotoxins. Diet

foods are especially likely to contain excitotoxins flavor enhancers.

The most dangerous are the liquid foods, since they are rapidly

absorbed, producing very high blood levels of glutamate and aspartate. A

newer addition to the family of excitotoxin food additives is L-

cysteine, which in the body is converted to the powerful excitotoxin

cysteine sulfinic acid. L-cysteine is being added to certain breads as a

dough conditioner.

 

But, the harm being done by the food industry doesn't stop there. In

some foods we find aluminum appearing as various organic salts. Recent

studies have conclusively shown that aluminum is a very toxic substance,

especially to neurons. It not only poisons several critical enzymes, but

it interacts with the tau protein impairing the formation of

neurotubules within brain cells. This appears to be a primary toxic

event in the Alzheimer brain. A recent study has shown that when

aluminum is combined with fluoride as a chemical complex, it is rapidly

absorbed, enters the brain and produces widespread brain cell injury and

destruction. What is so shocking about this report is that the

concentration of fluoride producing the brain damage was half that of

the fluoride added to most municipal water systems. That is, 0.5 ppm was

sufficient to produce this destruction when 1 to 2ppm of fluoride is

frequently added to water supplies. Canada recently lowered the amount

of fluoride added to its water supply, but US authorities have done

nothing. Not surprising.

 

To make matters worse, our children are encouraged to brush frequently

with fluoride toothpaste ( often containing as much as 1500ppm fluoride)

and dentist encourage mothers to have their children take fluoride

tablets or endure dangerous fluoride treatments.

 

But, there is more. In many suburban areas homeowners are fanatical

about having the perfect lawn. In this quest, they pay good money for

regular lawn treatments with herbicides and pesticides. Studies have

shown that such practices are associated with a doubling of cancer rates

of their pets and higher leukemia rates in children playing on these

lawns. Herbicides and pesticides often cause the generation of very high

levels of free radicals in cells, leading to cancer or DNA mutation.

Recent studies have shown that these chemicals induce cellular damage

well below that necessary to inhibit enzymes, the supposed mechanism of

action against bugs and fungi. A recent report appearing in the journal

Neurology, reported on five cases of acute Parkinson's disease following

exposure to household pesticides.

 

Now, if we put all of this together, aluminum, fluoride, food additive

excitotoxins, aspartame and pesticides, we see that our cells,

especially brain cells are exposed to tremendous toxic insults every

day. While these represent the major toxins, there are hundreds, if not

thousands, of others. Most of the food additives have not been

adequately tested to see what effect they will have on the brain,

especially with long term exposures. After all, human exposures to these

chemicals last a lifetime, in many cases even before birth. Most safety

testing involves short term experimental studies.

 

I would urge all those truly interested in this most important topic to

consider these factors before reaching a conclusion concerning the

safety of these food products. The food industry and the FDA have a

vested interest in saying these products are safe.

Notice also that Michael Jackson had developed skin cancer. He was

paranoid as well, a common symptom of aspartame because of the

depletion of serotonin caused by the 50% phenylalanine. Then as Dr.

H. J. Roberts has explained aspartame interacts with all antidepressants.

 

So with all the problems Michael Jackson had, and the fact that he

used Diet Pepsi with aspartame this would make his conditions worse

and life threatening. Drugs were found in his body but it doesn't

say which ones or how many were taken. Aspartame interacts with

drugs because it damages the mitochondria. Nothing is said about him

being a Diet Pepsi spokesman and that he used this.

 

As the Lupus association explains the victims experience muscle and

joint pain and causes skin

rashes:

http://www.lupus.org/webmodules/webarticlesnet/templates/new_aboutaffects.aspx?a\

rticleid=101 & zoneid=17

 

From taking aspartame lupus cases for 17 years I notice that when

they are warned and get off aspartame they usually become

asymptomatic. Aspartame can mimic and trigger lupus. Some people

just don't have the problem anymore. In many cases where they

continue to use aspartame lupus appears to become life threatening.

..

 

Then you have the aspect of medical competence in all this. So many

physicians are clueless about aspartame's triggering of immune

diseases, drug interaction, psychiatric disease, etc.

 

Mike Adams is absolutely correct about polychemical. Michael Jackson

never had a chance.

I would imagine they will do an autopsy.

In this case we don't know much except that he had hit his head in a

hard landing. Maybe an autopsy will tell us more. There has been no

report of prescription drug use so far.

 

What is such a problem is that aspartame triggers all these diseases,

and then comes the prescription use for the problems, and aspartame

interacts. We may never know how many deaths have been caused in

this fashion.

 

Also in the case of Farrah Fawcett she first had anal cancer and then

liver cancer. With all the information on the Internet I wish

somebody had told her she was drinking a carcinogen because in the

beginning she had improved after treatment in Germany. Then she went

to allopathic cancer treatment.

 

All my best,
