Dear Dr. Stoll,
I was sent this article, and thought that you might find it interesting. I am not sure of the validity of its' claims, but I thought that it was worth spreading this information on the chance that it is accurate.
sincerely,
Nicole

a trip to FL (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd. On March 19th I called her to ask her how one of her
tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS. I thought, oh,
my....then I recalled an article a friend of mine emailed to me...and I asked her....Do you drink Diet pop? She
told me yes, as a matter of fact she was getting ready to crack one open that moment....I told her not to open
it, and stop drinking the diet pop....and I emailed her the following article.

artificial sweetener.....In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the aspartame in the diet soda, dying a slow
death.

EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!! I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on "ASPARTAME"
marketed as 'NutraSweet', 'Equal', and 'Spoonful'. In the keynote address by the EPA, it was

it was hard to understand what toxin was causing this to be rampant. I stood up and said that I was there to
lecture on exactly that subject.

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.)

multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually does not know that
the aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use, aggravating the lupus to such a degree that it may
become life-threatening. We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptomatic once taken off diet
sodas.

> In the case of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in reality, the disease is methanol
toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision returned and hearing improved
markedly. This also applies to cases of tinnitus.

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 some of these symptoms: Is it reversible?" Yes! Not drinking diet sodas and keeping an eye
out for aspartame on food labels, yes!
>
> We have a very serious problem. A stranger came up to Dr. Espisto (one of

visit to a hospice, a nurse said that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been
diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence! Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi etc. IS NOT A DIET PRODUCT! The
Congressional Record states that it makes you crave carbohydrates and will make you FAT. The formaldehyde
stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Once off these products with no significant
increase in exercise, etc., Dr. Roberts in his lecture stated that he had patient who lost an average of 19
pounds over a trial period.

The aspartame drives the blood sugar out of control. Thus diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the
fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein. Thus
it passes the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the brain, causing in diabetics (as well as in
patients not suffering from diabetes) various kinds of brain
>damage, seizures, depression, manic depression, panic attacks, rage, violence. (The Aspartame in thousands of
pallets of diet Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially to
blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome.)
>
> Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects i.e. mental retardation if taken at the time of
conception and early pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NOT be
given NutraSweet. I can relate different case histories of children having mal seizures and other disturbances
being on NutraSweet. Unfortunately it is not always easy to convince a mother that aspartame is to blame for
her child's illness. Only by trial and success will she be able to warn other mothers to take their children's
health in their own hands.

> Stevia, a sweet herb, NOT A MANUFACTURED 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.

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!!!!!

American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association, the Conference of the American College of
Physicians. This has been exposed in the New York Times - to no avail. These Associations cannot criticize any
additives or convey their link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and have to endorse
their products.

One of my granddaughters was having severe head aches, flu like symtoms starting a year ago. She had been to several doctors and even rushed to emergency when nothing would relieve her head ache. When she and her Dad returned home he noticed a pack of sugarless gum on the table. She had been chewing it every day. He asked her to leave it along for a while as he had heard some of the adverse reactions to aspertame. Her head aches went away in a matter of days and have not returned.

I would add too that she had been plagued with vaginal yeast infections as well.

Thanks, nicole.
I still think that aspartame is safe in normal people (the few that are left on the planet). However, since now the vast majority have at least some LGS (and aspartame is potentially deadly in those with LGS)it is very risky to ignore that potential (See the archives.).

Hi Dr. Stoll,
On the subject of aspartame, I must agree with you. When I was on heparin and wafarin sodium, I did look like the good year blimp. When I read about aspartame and its side effects I stopped taking anything that had that. However, when I went into remission and became drug free, I developed allergies to simple things like sugar and flour. As a result I had to re-think my whole lifestyle. Today I live on a very restrictive diet, no sugar, no sacharine( I was tested safe for aspartame)no flour. My No list is too long. What I am trying to say is, I like a cup of tea and drink one cup a day and I do sweeten it with aspartame. Occasionally I do like to drink a soda and I settle for a diet cola. I have not experienced any side effects as a result of including aspartame in my diet.

I am having so many neurological problems too numerous to go into. I used aspartame for 20 years and used alot of it every day.I have been off it since Jan. but still continue to have problems. None of my doctors can find out the problem. They don't seem to want to "listen" to me about a test for aspartame poisioning. Is there one available? Also the man who got this poison available without research was a large share holder in the EQUAl CO. He also worked for the Food and Drug Adminstration and pushed for it to be approved! Pain and suffering now, why?

Thanks, Zarin.
Since the complications of aspartame intake are directly related to dose, I do not think you are getting enough to significantly increase your risk.

Hi, Poisoned.
I know of no test. After this many years, if you are sensitive to this stuff, the changes in your nervous system are likely to be permanent but not progressive.
