Aspartame and Fibromyalgia

Aspartame Case

In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick, she had
stomach spasms, she was having a hard time getting around, to walk
was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed,
she was in so much pain. By March 2002, she had undergone
biopsies, and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors
could not figure out what was wrong with her. She was in so much
pain, and so sick, she knew she was dying.

She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest
daughters name, and made sure her younger children were to be with
her oldest daughter. She wanted her last hooray, so she planned 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. She called me within 32 hours after our phone
conversation and told me she stopped drinking the diet pop, and
she can walk...she went up the stairs, and the muscle spasms went
away. She said she didn't feel 100% but sure felt a lot better. She told
me she was going to her doctors with this article and would call me
back when she got home.

She called me, and her doctor was amazed, he is going to call all of
his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweetener....In a
nutshell, she was being poisoned by the aspartame in the diet soda,
dying a slow death.

When she got to FL March 22nd, all she had to take was one pill, and
that was a pill for poisoning....she is well on her way to recovery.....and
she is walking!!!!! No wheelchair!!!! This article saved her life!!!! The
life saving article: If it says "SUGAR FREE," on the label, DO NOT
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 announced that in the United States in
2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus,
that 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.

I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature
of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees 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.)
The methanol toxicity mimics among other conditions multiple
sclerosis. People were being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis
in error. The multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, where
methanol toxicity is! Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as
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, irritating the lupus to such a degree that it
may become life-threatening. We have seen patients with systemic
lupus become asymptotic 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.

During a lecture I said "If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet,
Equal, Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms,
spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, 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 my speakers) and me and said: "Could you tell me why so
many people seem to be coming down with MS?" During a 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.

Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. We found that
physicians would believe that they have a patient with retinopathy,
when in fact the symptoms are caused by aspartame. 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. Books on this subject are available: EXCITOTOXINS:
THE TASTE THAT KILLS - written by Dr. Russell Blayblock (Health
Press 1-800-643-2665) and DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S
DISEASE - written by DR H. J. Roberts, also a diabetic specialist.
These two doctors will be posting a position paper with some case
histories on the deadly effects of Aspartame on the Internet.

According to the Conference of the American College of Physicians
"we are talking about a plague of neurological diseases caused by this
deadly poison." Here is the problem: There were Congressional
Hearings 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!!!!! I assure
you, MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame knows how deadly it is.
They fund among others, the 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.

Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned all
infants, pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of aspartame.
The bill would have also instituted independent studies on the
problems existing in the population (seizures, changes in brain
chemistry, changes neurological and behavioral; symptoms). It was
killed by the powerful drug and chemical lobbies, letting loose the
hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting public.
